I'm an American who apparently follows more Canadian figure skating than I thought. This time Patrick Chan is coming home with something Gold.

I'm also a very petite person with long legs and short torso. Depending on the seat, I have a series of pre-planned lies that makes it all work. My trips are 6+ hours usually.

Since you've seen the series...

I'm usually described as "ultra-petite." I've found that the ultra-low dose BC pills are the only ones that have no side-effects for me. The "normal" low dose birth control gives me permanent morning sickness. Not enjoyable at all.

I wish I majored in Economics.

Actually, Rock Climbing works out pretty balanced as well. What men have in upper body strength, women have in flexibility and stamina.

I guess my area is weird, but a round of Golf costs about the same as a movie ticket and popcorn. It's cheaper than going Bowling actually. The Golf Range and Ice Skating are cheaper than all of these things.

The class to teach Middle School and High School kids how to manage a basic household budget, follow recipes, do laundry, and sew buttons was called Home Economics. Home Ec and Recess were axed for more math and reading classes due to no child left behind.

If you are talking about the band all wearing black:

Those Tacos are really good... I miss good cheap Mexican food while I'm on the East Coast.

The bagel thing never gets better. When I visit my ex-new yorker friend in LA she always demands a backpack full of bagels.

Actually the your coal stove is far more efficient than a coal-fired power plant that sends electricity to a home to heat other radiators...

Nah... Try JP or Allston.

I have a Coach wallet filled with video games does that count?

They've started making the pilgrimage up here to Westchester for their cigs. It's only going to get worse.

The wealthy people I used to trick-o-treat at used to give us Godiva Chocolate Bars and Valrhona Hot Chocolate Packets...

Since when is naming a kid after Calvin Coolidge hipster?

If that what Republican men think of women, then it shouldn't be surprising that they can't find dates.

Hmm... That is a problem. Do you live in either the New York of Boston Metro areas?

Depending on the meal, the freezer is your friend. Stews and Chili freeze extremely well and actually keep themselves at food borne illness safe temps as they thaw for about 6 hours outside of the fridge.
