So at Christmas, I bought a large wire shelf for my garage and decided it was going to be my “Costco shelf.” Meaning, I’d buy non-perishable stuff at Costco when it went on sale and store it there for when I needed it later. I did it to save money by taking advantage of the sales, but my god, I’m glad I have it now. I…

same here. All my colleagues are complaining about gaining weight, and I’ve actually lost some without trying. But I’m making a point to take 2-3 walks around my neighborhood daily (in addition to my regular workouts, the walks just get me out of my chair/house for my sanity). And the food I keep at home is generally…

I’ll occasionally fall asleep with the TV on by accident, but I generally like to have a dark room and some white noise (a fan, or I’ll have Alexa play the sound of rain or something).

Co-signed. Me not being able to actually SEE what I’m doing in the shower (or out on a lake/river) is way more dangerous. And people, get out of my face with that “just wear your glasses instead” shit. I’m not wearing my glasses in the shower (what a pain in the ass), and I’m not dealing with trying to keep regular…

When I was in 8th grade, all the girls in PE were asked if they wanted to participate in this special exercise program being run by a grad student from the local university (like a research or outreach project). Most of us agreed, so we got to have our own physical fitness program in a separate place than the boys. We…

Ditto this. When I’m wearing contacts, no problem. If I’m wearing my glasses, it’s tear city. 

Mike might have also been referencing the strange, cringeworthy video Bevin released of himself throwing and shooting grenades out of a launcher:

Current shitshow aside, her show’s ratings were down considerably compared to the previous 9am hosts (Al Roker and Tamron Hall) — I read 26 percent lower in the 18-49 demo. That’s bad. I’m sure NBC has been trying to figure out a way to get rid of her regardless, and this was the final straw. I’m sure if her ratings…

Have you ever had the flu? Like not just a bad cold that you *thought* was the flu, but the full-on, 103-degree temperature, uncontrollable shivers, skin that’s painful to the slightest touch with horribly aching joints with unrelenting diarrhea and puking for days flu?

Also worked in retail, same story. We FREQUENTLY walked into a women’s restroom that had been utterly destroyed... we’re talking shit on toilet, the floor, the walls, etc. One time, there was a gigantic pile of runny shit ON TOP OF THE TOILET TANK. Like, that wasn’t an accident — someone actually would have had to…

I can’t remember if I’ve posted this before, but here’s a short and just slightly spooky one.

Also, deadlift is so functional. Think about how many times a day you reach down to pick something up from the floor. I’m not saying I ALWAYS keep a proper hinge position when I reach down, but it’s something I think about much more often now. I carry heavy video equipment as part of my job, and picking up a camera…

YES! My friend and I cheered when Thor, Rocket & Groot arrived — for a brief moment it seemed like all was not lost.

I was also really surprised at how much I loved Thor’s storyline in IW. And if you’d told me 10 years ago that some of the most emotionally compelling moments of the MCU movies would frequently involve a talking raccoon, I’d have thought you were crazy.

Yeah, I could deal with the three-movie-a-month limit (seems reasonable and sustainable), but once they started blacking out showtimes, I was done. The email claimed they’ll offer “up to six movies a day.” However, for the past week I would check and I would only have the option to see limited showings for two movies…

Same. Regal is close enough for me to walk, and they’re the only theater in the city with reserved seating AND recliners. It’s my go-to for movies. Both AMC (really old, shitty theater here) and Cinemark (30 minutes across town) offer subscription plans so I keep hoping Regal jumps aboard because they’ll definitely…

Yup. I just got the email about how they’re only offering “up to six movies” per day that you can go see. Right now the only thing I could go see is The Meg or Slenderman, and there are only a handful of showings of those (most others are blacked out). I was okay with the “three a month” model, but I am NOT okay with…

I have had some success with the baking soda/vinegar/boiling water trick, but I did have to do it twice in my sink before the clog came loose. 

The Roomba is a life-saver. Picks up both litter AND fur while I’m at work!

I don’t think that’s crazy. I remember people asking me if I thought The Dark Knight or Iron Man was the better movie back in 2008. I answered similarly — I thought TDK was a better movie overall, but its bleak tone is a bit much. I will watch IM over and over because of how fun and joyous it is.
