I would add not to ask questions that assume any binary ideas of parenting roles. Like don’t ask “who’s the disciplinarian?” Or “who makes lunches?” etc. Don’t assume non-straight parents have take on “traditional” gender roles.

Actually, don’t assume that of straight parents, either. When I was growing up, my dad did…

I often see people out running just HOLDING their phones in their hands (with a case on it, obvs). My hands get super sweaty when I run, and I can imagine it would be uncomfortable to run while holding something for more than a mile or so— even a water bottle.

Pockets often seem to chafe or bounce too much for me.

I keep it in a jar in the fridge and use it for everything from making chili, to sauteing green beans!

I make bacon this way all the time. Never any splatter. 

So... you don’t want me to be married to who I love solely bc I am gay, BUT don’t think that’s homophobic?
Why bless your heart! 

I buy the generic ones in bulk and use them all the time for cleaning. They do really well on stainless steel sinks, bathroom sinks, window sills, molding, door jams, cabinet fronts, outside furniture, etc.

Fifth option— see if one of your credit cards has a special promotional no interest rate cash advance option. (that’s if you have a CC with a good open balance). Use that to buy a solid used car, and pay off the card as quickly as possible, before the promotional period is up.

I did this when I needed to replace my…

I thought everyone did this? I guess I discovered a hack and didn’t even know it!

I usually have good luck by trying different drill bit heads-- square or hex usually works for a stripped screw. 

Most of these services rely on local flower shops, who get paid pennies on the dollar of what you pay.

Instead, just call a flower shop in the town where you want the flowers delivered, and order directly from them. I do this every year for my mother. They don’t even charge a delivery fee, and they are SO happy to have…

A DOZEN? What does a person even do with that many winter coats?

I make salads with only my kitchen shears all the time! I call them my “Prof Moxie’s Cut Above the Rest” salads. One of my favorites is an antipasto salad— cut up deli sliced provolone and salami, with olives, pepperoncini, cherry tomatoes, Italian dressing and parmesan. I cut it all up right over 2 bowls of lettuce.…

This is %1000 true, and why the people at my local Ace know me so damn well.

I’d be careful with this and realize it can take a LONG time to go off even prozac!

While some people legitimately need their meds long term, some folks DO want to get off their meds. I was on prozac because I needed it at one particular time in my life. I didn’t really need it any more, but my PCP kept me on it after…

Actually, not all doctors know about how to discontinue meds. Mine (not the original prescriber, since I had moved over the years) had me taper off prozac over a SUMMER after being on it for 10 years. She through my body into total chaos and I had to bring her research to show her that it should take me 1+ years to…

I don’t like wine (yup, I’m a beer girl), so if someone brought wine to my house and it was unopened at the end of the night, I’d WANT them to take it home. And I’d be insulted if they didn’t, bc it would be wasted on me.

Now a really good beer? Leave that. Leave the unopened ones for me!

How would this do in the freezer (maybe in ice cube size portions)? I could see making a nice big batch to have for future burgers...!

Missing and Murdered: Finding Cleo is fantastic! 

How about some advice for would-be sexual assaulters instead?

Ahh, that’s probably the case. And hopefully bc I reported them!
