I think it’s a lot like mixed spice.

That happened to me—my husband and I had a beautiful daughter but I felt almost jealous with the perfectly reasonable love he had for her. It took some adjustments and a lot of random truths being blurted out (as in “She’s napping and fine. I’m the one who needs attention right now”) because quashing it just made me…

*) If you toast the oats gently in a pan, let them cool and then store with whatever add ons you’d like, your muesli will be crunchy and tastier. Like granola without the sugar or oil.

An Adam Driver voice-over always sounds like its been slowed down a couple of notches.

As a member of Gen-X who never gave Counting Crows much thought, I’ll take your moment of silence with a polite, yet dismissive, nod.

I figured it would be a gateway for my kids to get to the better aspects of game. Three moved on, but one still loves going back to Fortnite. The problem is that Minecraft is already seen as a little kids game so any kid over nine won’t touch it, even though it seems to build up better skills.

Because he’s planning to go back to school the next semester. That’s why he needed a ride from Hooters . He’s trying to eliminate expenses.

It was nice this morning so I thought I’d switch to hot coffee but when I went inside I got a text and then I read the text which made me want to look up what disease you get from water skiing even though I’ll never do it but by the time I finished reading the article I could hear the cicadas outside which makes me…

I forgot such a show (miniseries?) existed until I got to the shot of Suzanne Sommers which created a wormhole flashback of young me creeping down the stairs to the living room and seeing Sommers rolling around with what might possibly have been Anthony Hopkins. My mother jumped off the couch and ordered me back to…

This sounds horrible. Just like the wine country one. Does netflix just not like middle aged women?

I remember turning 36 and realizing that I was now the same age as my old waitstaff manager was when he deigned to fuck twenty year old me for a period of two emotionally painful months. The huge gulf in our ages never occurred to me when I was a kid, but lord it disgusts me now.

When in doubt, apply for a job at a video store. You might even get a job for your dingus friend.

True. Most waitstaff start out as hosts or food runners to get a feel of how a restaurant works.

I did- but that’s what I always used.

You have some awesomely creative parents.

Not only are pine nuts expensive, they can leave some people with a horrible aftertaste for weeks. I was unlucky enough to have that happen to me after making pesto one day (not the first time—who knows why it suddenly hit me then). A disgustingly bitter taste filled my mouth and basically stayed there for a month.…

This is why peanut butter sandwiches will always be a friend.

At least at Firefly you can stash food in your tent.

This is a different kind of firework story. A bit of background: I was pregnant for the first time and although I was happy about it in theory, I was also terrified. It didn’t help that I was the first of my friends to get pregnant (I was pretty young) and there were few parents to be found in the theaters and…
