I use a Y peeler. I don’t peel enough veggies to justify a non-flimsy traditional peeler, and they tend to break too easily. (Also much easier when my arthritis acts up.)

From the OP? The kid was on the honeymoon with them. If she adequately explained, her mother wouldn't have left her "12 increasingly frantic" phone messages.

Is it so hard to understand that if you are old enough to get married and have children, you are old enough to understand that other people aren't psychic? If you expect something, you explain to other people what your expectations are and don't pout for years afterwards because you weren't clear about what you wanted.

Fructose is fructose is fructose. Always. You metabolize is slower when you eat whole fruit because of the fiber. When you remove the fiber, as in a smoothie, it is exactly the same. It isn't magic, it's science. It's still sugar, ffs.

Oh, no, they’re Apple!

Recipes make more sense in written form. Heck, even when you have a relative show you how to make something, you still have them write it out for you. Also, it's much easier to take 10 seconds and scan the written instructions to see if you have all the needed ingredients and tools on hand, if you think it's something…

Same in the BVI. I had to take a taxi from the airport to the place I was staying, and the cab driver insisted I sit up front in the passenger seat, then drove like a maniac on the twisty narrow roads. It was like a living video game.

I am actually kind of stunned at the very concept of professional honeymoon photos. Is that a thing now? I really hope not.

If you weren't clear with her about what you expected, yes, you are being silly.

You dumped your kid with her then put her on radio silence long enough to ignore 12 phone calls? I imagine your mom is just as happy to avoid you now.

Yes! I hate my skin touching skin. I do a t-shirt in the warmer weather on top (leggings on the bottom, check), but then I end up lacing the blanket/sheet around any exposed skin so nothing touches anything else. Drives me nuts.

I belong to a volunteer fire company (so, mostly dudes). Our method with any recurring project, including parties, is that you always appoint 2 people — Person A is in charge of the event/project, Person B is the assistant, who is there both as extra hands and to learn the ropes. The next time that event occurs,…

Oh, they do it all the time. I belong to a volunteer fire company. We have about three major parties a year, plus we do catering for fundraising. Even though the guys were completely capable of organizing dinner for 1200 people, somehow putting together the holiday party was something only the few women in the company…

It is when you are being chastised to behave in a way that doesn’t feel natural to you just because you’re a woman. Femininity is fine. It’s not a requirement.

What? Sugar in fruit is fructose, the same as in corn syrup.

Don’t you use a pillow case? That’s why they were invented.

Eh, I think that depends on how you sleep/use the bed. Having a lot of sex? Sleep naked? Night sweater? Definitely wash the sheets at least once a week. Celibate(ish)? Wear pajamas? Generally a dry sleeper? You can probably push the envelope.

According to the Roku Blog, the software update, including the My Feed thing, is going to get pushed to all “current gen” Roku players (which means every model introduced after June 2011) between now and the end of this month. Not sure why the author thinks this is only going to new Roku 2s & 3s.

1200 calories is a pretty standard number for women on diets.

She does have a declared crush on him, though, which still makes this post complete bullshit.
