I rowed at a regatta at Henley-on-Thames a couple weeks before Royal Henley, so I was lucky enough to see the fashion. The hats are great, but the blazers take it to a whole new level for both genders. Book for further study:

I thought maybe you were Rachel Dolezal for a second. Also, CA Pinkham hates my guts. I am invisible on Kitchenette.

especially the one in the fore where’s the emoji with hearts for eyes on this kinja?

These look like fun women, I'd love to hang out with them. After I buy my lovely parasol.

Look at me sharing the greys with you. Kelly is the one stubborn holdout, like the professor who won’t give any A’s. I’ve had about a thousand stars in the last 48 hours and she is NOT impressed.

Showers weirdly don’t seem to have caught on as fast as flush toilets. Probably because it’s a bigger deal to change your style of bathing than to install what’s basically an auto-cleaning chamberpot. I haven’t looked it up but I’d guess showers caught on with the increased urbanization of the 20th century, when…

It depends on the geography and income level you’re looking at. The Romans had running water, even heated taps if you were rich. China got up to all sorts of water engineering projects. But if you’re talking recognizably-modern, comfortingly-familiar white western people with taps you turn to operate and toilets that…

I’d like both the 1949 dresses, please.

Was this during the oldeny times when kids used to play jacks and buy penny whistles from the local grocer and people danced the charleston on top of flag poles and cocaine and heroin and methamphetamine were legal, because I want a time machine to go back.

We got a rice maker, one of the good ones with a steamer basket for vegetables (also good for frozen fish, meatballs, dumplings) in the event, God forbid, I ever get hit by a truck and my son has to fend for himself. He’s almost 20, and he’s autistic and I don’t want him living on frozen pizza forever. This thing is…

I like cooking. I really do. It’s one of the activities I look forward to at the end of the day when I get home from work. I’m not actually sure I save money. I feel like I buy a ton of stuff, cook, and I end up throwing a lot of it away. On a trip to Costco to get camping food for a big group, I realised I need the…

Crock pots/slow cookers are so easy and great for the lazy and impatient. Step 1: put some shit in the crock pot. Step 2: go about your day. Step 3: come home to food waiting for you.

I don’t know anything about calculus or trig either, but cooking is pretty easy. Choose substance, apply heat, etc.

If they’re not calculated, that just means that you’re lucky enough to be gainfully employed to the point where spending obscene amounts of money on take-out and entertaining is not felt in your bankaccount. Or you don’t mind living paycheck to paycheck.

Thats actually so awesome that she acknowledged why this is harder as a single person. In addition to not necessarily wanting to eat the same thing six meals in a row if I cook in any quantity, I’m facing the reality that my dinner plans often change last minute, and that drinks are one of the few non-app-based…

Hahaha I’ve witnessed this! When I was a teen and my part-time job cash was much more disposable, I loved this Lush soap that had shreds of coconut in it. One time when I was in to buy it, an older woman right ahead of me thought it was a coconut marshmallow and just chomped :(

I’m not so sure it’s actually a “very high-end” restaurant. For one thing, that sounds more like something people would do at a place similar to, for example, Outback, that sort of family-fun chain level. Which, there’s nothing wrong with that, but they wouldn’t claim to be high-end.

My fully-grown, adult cousin has done that before. He insisted it looked like white chocolate. Looking like white chocolate or not, this is a soap store, not a sweets shop. Oh yea, and you should probably buy that seashell soap now that there is a huge bite mark in it.

I’ve seen Lush’s stuff, & even in the full knowledge that it’s soap, & completely inedible, I’m still tempted to at least give it a nibble.
