How late do you go and when do you usually go to sleep?  I find evening workouts, if they’re any later than 6-7pm, mess with my sleep.  I try to go in the AM so it’s out of the way, but that means waking up in the dark and I’m not always happy about that.

I know. I used to be so diligent about going but age and depression really took their toll on my work ethic. Back when I went regularly I rolled my eyes at the “resolutioners” who were all gone by March (or the first snow fall), never to return. Now I’m perilously close to being one.

I seriously loathe her. Her brand of “progressive feminism” is on par with ScarJo- meaning total BS.

I live alone and have a tiny one. I use it for my standard dishes, but some things just need to be handwashed, whether because they’re delicate or just too damn big for my dinky guy (a stock pot would fill up the bottom rack). I also wash things by hand if they’re not really dirty- I used a spoon to scoop coffee, that…

My family road trips for Thanksgiving. We drive 8ish hours- leaving a$$ crack of dawn Thursday morning. No traffic and we get in in time for pre-turkey snacks. Then we leave slightly less ridiculously early on Saturday.  Again- no traffic.

33 and I have 40% of my annual income saved. I don’t seem myself adding a crap ton of money over the next 2 years.

On Michelle’s ring- I love them and they are a fantastic couple, but being in politics means you have to be political about everything. I wonder if he wanted to keep her wedding jewelry subtle while he needed to appeal for votes. Now he’s done, he can’t get any higher, so he can give her the bling she deserves (and…

To lose one member of the household could happen to anyone,” the insider admits.

I can usually get an elliptical, even in the tiniest gym, but often the equipment is either super basic or old/damaged. I like to do a varied workout- pedal forward, then back, alternate intensity/incline. One nice hotel I stayed in would not let you do that! It reset every time you paused to change direction. So…

Since they talk about reusing the sugar, I assume you still put foil/parchment directly on the crust, then sugar (as you would with weights)

I’ve thought about doing yoga.  My gym offers classes but one of the SAD/depression issues is getting my butt to the gym.  I know I’ll feel better if I go- even if I just walk on a treadmill, I just can’t get myself to do it.  :-/

I know- and I’m working with my insurance to find a therapist I can afford (woohoo mental health coverage on otherwise super shitty insurance!).  This too shall pass.

Lana Del ray was on to something!

I don’t know if I have SAD or it’s just my normal depression flaring up. In addition to seasonal changes I just had a huge setback in my career (career is my main depression trigger) and I recently got back from the big vacation I’d been looking forward to and planning for months. Vacation was awesome, but now I have…

Like others have said, drive a stick.  Mine is almost 20 years old.  Great shape but no one can drive it- plus no bells and whistles.

I always get up in time for work, even time not to feel rushed- some days I can even cook a proper breakfast (instead of grabbing some HB eggs to eat at my desk). My issue is getting up early enough to hit the gym. I try every trick- scheduling it, trying to convince myself it’s necessary, setting out my clothes the…

I didn’t know any of her background, but she keeps coming up on my Lake Street Dive pandora station and I love her voice.  Hope this works out for her- her first album is really fun.

As a tall girl (5'11) I get unreasonably annoyed at this stuff. If you’re 5'2, everyone is taller than you- most guys can pick you up. Leave the giants to those of us who need them! I have never been girly or felt delicate because I’m always taller than the guys, even in flats.

I heard that this morning on NPR. Not saying they’re lying, but it’s entirely possible that was the initial story, then someone saw the chains, or knew that chaining patients was SOP and things have “shifted.”

At least in the last one her hair was short enough not to be a real issue- her long curls when she first showed up were ridiculous. And I LOVED Black Panther for how the guard women dressed and had shaved heads- very practical.
