Definitely garlic! 

Are there good board games for 2 people? We love doing puzzles and playing cards, but would love to get into board games if anyone has recommendations.

I mean, we have friends and they come over sometimes, so 2+ is good. But we don’t want to wait for company to play cool games!

Just looked up a couple places I go to in NYC. How could there be live cockroaches in the past few months in food prep areas, BUT the places still get A’s?

As an academic, I second the advice to JUST ASK. Seriously! I’ve published nearly a dozen papers, and while most of them are on my own website for free (or on Google Scholar), I love it when someone asks me for my work! You’ll get the article, AND make a professor’s day! 

All I need to know is if a cat or dog dies in it. I *loved* the genius of Babadook, but hated that she even images killing her dog and that you see her do it. Please just tell me, is this pet-death free?

Bennigans! My favorite hung over breakfast in college was their monte cristo!

“please don’t start by saying how cute or pretty they are!”

THIS. Especially girls. And please don’t comment on how cute their clothes are. Ask kids about school, what they learned, etc. Kids (especially girls) need to know they’re valued for more than just being cute and pretty.

And stop it with the…

My kitchen faucet had extremely low water pressure a few months back. I was all worried about some leak or something (and we don’t have a basement, so any repair is a pain). I soaked the head in vinegar for half a day and viola! Totally great water pressure again!

Did the same for the shower. Vinegar is magic.

Yup. I literally dump some vinegar (~cup) in the bottom of my dishwasher a couple times a week, and it takes care of the hard water spots like nothing else!

I use http://www.twitonomy.com/ for this. It’s free, I can sort my followers by how many followers they have, when the last time they tweeted was, etc. Then I can I unfollow dead accounts, etc., right from the same page.

Until they make something small enough for eyeglasses, I’m out.

Some people actually use FB to keep in touch with people in meaningful ways.

Considering we just spent 2+ days in a forced unplugged state thanks to massive power outages here in NJ, I’ll skip this one!

OMG I went to grad school in Madison and now I’m all kinds of nostalgic for the cheese department at Woodman’s!

I love how either no one gets the reference or decides to ignore it.

I’m with you— livable wage for all! And get rid of the low hourly wage for tipped employees!

In the meantime, though, since we’re stuck with a GOP that doesn’t want any of that “socialist crap”, tip nicely!

And even if your pancakes are free, please tip your waitstaff as if they weren’t. They’re doing the same amount of work they always do and deserve the same pay!

YES! My partner and I have been together 21 years this Thursday. We we could finally legally get married (yes, we’re both women), we went to the court house and then out for sandwiches at a historic deli. Just us and our 2 closest friends/witnesses. BEST WEDDING EVER.

Skip Cafe Du Monde. It’s touristy, usually dirty, and not worth the hassle.

Mr. B’s Bistro.

That is all.
