Dammit, I did NOT sign up for the dark and depressing dystopian cyberpunk future. I signed up for the spiffy, shiny Jetson's one. I demand to speak to a manager about this!

She killed someone and got convicted? Somehow I am giving Florida an A+ on this one.

"There is no one of-woman-born who does not like Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and a Socialist." — Tina Fey

"I try to avoid heat & eat places where little cooking goes on in the kitchen": This. Like, 100 times. If I'm going to spend $60 to feed a family of 4, I'm damn well going to, you know, an actual restaurant.

Yeah, I don't know if it's just the food. A lot of people I know are boycotting them because of stuff like this.

The last time I ate at Olive Garden, I was actually secretly excited. I never eat at chain restaurants, and it seemed like a fun thing to do - I was going to live out the promise of endless advertisements!

Maybe all that nasty publicity over their workers suing them for wages and the CEO talking about cutting hours to avoid paying for health care hurt them. I hope.

Every time I see or hear the phrase "cheddar bay biscuits," my mind immediately goes to an image of a body of water tinted yellow, with string cheese seaweed and crabs made out of cheese wheels scurrying about. Kinda like how Homer Simpson envisions Flushing Meadows as a knoll covered with with actual toilets in the…

I live less than an hour from the ocean (where seafood comes from!) and I am continually BAFFLED by the fact that the Red Lobster near my house is constantly packed. Baffled. Ditto Olive Garden (every third business is an Italian joint; the other two are hair salons and Starbuckses). Does not compute.

I got super upset then and over the next several days. He'd basically been lying to me but OH MY GOD he would beg me to stay. He wouldn't tell me whether or not I should cancel vendors. He would call me a bully when I'd get mad or upset whenever wedding-related questions would come up because it was so much…

I can't say I really ever got a good answer either. In the final conversation I did ask. He pretty much just said that if had broken it off before, that would have made him an asshole. Yeah, I think the irony was lost on him.

Interesting that you said that because the woman I'm seeing/dating now suggested, when i briefly broke up with her, that I didn't really know what love is. I'm 37 and it's not the first time someone's said that to me. I think they're probably right. Given all the wonderful things I read/see/hear about love, I hope I…

"FYI I'm married now, and he's still single. He still pretty mad at me too even though we split awhile ago. No idea why. He wanted out"

Why marry? Form an LLC.

I've always said that love is not something that you feel. It is something that you do.

I think nowadays, a lot of people divorce cause they expect to feel the way they felt the first 6 months of their relationship several years in. Newsflash: you don't. I love my husband, but no, it is not the excitement of when we were first dating 17 years later. I'd guess in an arranged marriage, there is no such…

The last time I tried to have a discussion around here about feminism benefiting men and misogyny hurting them, I had all kinds of insults hurled at me and was accused of being one of those MRA a-holes. I think it's because I was actually insinuating that men often suffer just as much as women do when it comes to…

Oh god, thank you. You are exactly right. I briefly dated a guy who thought like the above and it was terrible. I deserved so much more (and I got more once we broke up). He constantly put me down, trying to rob me of self-esteem, I suppose, so that I'd feel worthless enough to stick with him. I don't know how badly…
