Isn't that called weekly book club?

My best pickup wasn't even mine. It was my kid's.

Out of sheer laziness changed out of my work clothes into something more comfortable (no seriously, sweat pants and a t-shirt) in front of my male friend instead of in the bathroom. Apparently partial nudity is a big hit with the dudes. Who knew.

My best friend was negotiating the shared tenancy of a flat with a gym PR manager who looked exactly like Mark Vanderloo. She brought him to the bar that I was working at, and just before they shook on the arrangement she called me over to pour them some shots. There was one for me too, obviously. We raised our…

I just treat women like other people and it seems to work pretty well.

Hi again Ari. Well for the time being I am a stay at home dad. But that is because I am unemployed right now. Also my kids are 20 and 17 so it isn't what most people envision when you say that phrase. The 17 year old graduates in May. I have been out of work since December and have had one interview which went well…

Whatever. It may not be totally accurate but the $50 I spent on my fitbit was worth it. It 100% shames me into walking more. Judgemental numbers do so much more for me than they should. Do whatever works for you. All I know is that getting to the step goal becomes an obsession with users and it gets you moving more.

An artsy friend of my mom's gave us 'personal' gifts- i.e. shit from her house. One was a very used throw pillow with a lighthouse appliquéd on it. Another was a sloppily framed charcoal sketch of a houseplant done by her father. I finally got the guts to ditch the sketch recently. I always felt guilty before because…

Are people unaware that they are allowed to say they don't like whole nuts and that they diminish the severity of actual food allergies with this nonsense?

I'm in the middle of The Woman Who Rides Like a Man, again for the like umpteenth time. Unfortunately I can't bring it to work anymore...I get too many inappropriate comments about the title -,-

I just like the idea of a regular 24h bookstore. "It's 2AM and I need an annotated version of The Stranger immediately!'

Alianne of Pirate's Swoop. Spy for queen, country, and the trickster god. Plus, she works to end a slave/caste system.

My super awesome mom, after years of working as a successful independent consultant, recently accepted a job as an executive/c-suite level employee at a financial firm. She is the only woman executive. During her first week, another executive told her part of her duties would be to cover the phones when the…

I don't think it'll give her any sort of complex if you just put your foot down and make her brush her hair. If she demands an explanation, lump it in with things like brushing your teeth and taking a shower - you have to keep your body healthy, and that means keeping all parts of your body healthy!

Years spent taming my unruly eyebrows have, near as I can tell, killed all the nerve endings up there. I got to the point where I wouldn't even blink when they ripped the wax off.

(Weird thing to share: I saw you list a temperature in Celsius, so I started trying to remember the metric to imperial conversion for ages so I could figure out how old you are, BECAUSE MY BRAIN HATES ME! Then that same brain thought I should share this so someone else would know how much it hates me.)

True story:

Ah! I must have remembered that incorrectly. Grateful for the correction...

SORRY I'M NOT SORRY.
