Rare Vos is a very good beer.

First, LOVE the accompanying art.

Definitely stop feeling guilty. I had a similar situation once but I chose to force myself to date him, despite not being attracted to him, and it was terrible (it was not a fat thing, however same applies). Tolerable for the first couple of weeks but it got worse as time rolled on. It's awful to experience and just…

Too many great stories it's hard keeping up! My best is from my lame ex-boyfriend after breaking up: "I have an unusually large sex drive and you owe it to me to have sex with me." This is a guy who I dated about 4 months tops. He stalked me for a while as a bonus.

I'm totally with you. I had a college roommate who directed all her problems onto how much luckier I was than her. E.g. She had to cash in a bond to help pay for school, and I was SO LUCKY I didn't have to. (Because I had no bonds or other financial support and was both working and accumulating loans. Lucky me!) I…

I starred it because it SUCKED SO MUCH. So sorry!

I'm not totally sure, but I think chesterfield as a common term for couch is pretty exclusively Canadian. My main source: "How to be a Canadian" by Will and Ian Ferguson — which is a GREAT read (for Canadians).

This is totally better than I was expecting. Very much along the lines of the (now classic) Weight Watchers cards commentary by candyboots. If haven't seen it, you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html It is just as much worth it.

Not the eloquent part of the message, but:

Seattle's the place for you then! Seattle Cider company makes the best dry cider I've ever had — Angry Orchard type of flavor (vs Strongbow) but with a lot less sweetness. And with seasonals like Gin Botanical Cider. And we have one cider bar at least which is always PACKED with an amazing list on tap. But until…

Jezebel has ruined more than a few reality shows for me by posting the winner IN THE HEADLINE right after it aired. I'm finally understanding to not go to Jezebel at all until after I've viewed the episode (which is a minimum of a day after it airs because I only have hulu plus, not cable). Anyone who thinks it's OK…

I know, right? They have to resort to Hershey's Kisses and candy corn. Bleahh. I've had to switch my sugars to beer after having moved to the US (for which there are waaaaaay better options in microbrews than in Canada).

No no no to the Big Turk! But yes to Mr. Big! I used to eat a 4-pack while studying. And Wunderbar, Coffee Crisp, Mars, and Smarties! All the best ones aren't readily available in the States. Like Ketchup or Dill Pickle chips. Or Sweethearts.

There's also some evidence that microwaving food can alter it at the molecular level. http://www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/sc/0601/sc0601…

US immigration scares me so much. I'm Canadian but have worked in the US for 10 years. Every goddamn time I leave and come back to the US it's a big series of vaguely threatening but always extensive questions even though I have Nexus, Global Entry, Visas, etc, (which include a big background search, fingerprints on…

Happy to read this! I thought I was alone in not being able to wear even tight pants without distress. And for having breathing issues with tight workout tops. Just figured I was weird. Ah well, I look really lame in control garments anyways. My fat always just squishes out at the top and bottom edges — so what,…

First, how do your windowsill herbs not die?? I think I'm just lame. And second, I LOVE the look of those pods! I always mess up my herbs when I try to change the water and meanwhile they drop all over the shelf. So, until I learn how to keep herbs alive, I'm going for the pods!

I had a craving for banana pudding JUST TODAY. I made it, for the first time in about 10 years, sat down to eat it while reading some Jezebel ... and LOOK at what Laura posts! ACK!
