I would add 1-2 days of medication if you have a chronic illness, copies of your scripts in your wallet, and any rescue medication to that list. You will want your rescue inhaler in the event of a fire. And you really don’t want to be that idiot who goes into anaphylaxis on a plane and checked their epi-pens.

Any dish ware with metallic edging paint or metallic paint. My old roommate destroyed our microwave with something from Anthropologie that said “Microwave Safe” Seriously, no metal or metallic finish paint is microwave safe.

No it’s a kid who is scared he might be growing up into his father.

• What is your favorite pot? / What is your favorite pan? Giant 5.5 quart cuisinart saute pan. I’ve made basically everything in it at some point.

Income inequality in the US is kind of disastrous, labor is massively undervalued, and our healthcare is super expensive and borne entirely by the consumer. A friend of mine from college was norwegian and worked summers as a teller full-time back home at about $22 usd an hour. Between that and her stipend/grant she…

I’ve had a lot of good luck with Threes, Journey, and Kirby’s Epic Yarn. Seriously crafty people who want something chill and happy can’t resist Epic Yarn.

I’m kind of happy I work in a IT capacity as a woman. I assume people won’t listen to me or take my ideas seriously. They especially don’t like to be told to do things in marginally less efficient ways now that make the system work better in the long run. When their small flubs that make their work more efficient now…

Something to keep in mind, Miki Ando used to have a quad jump, but she only ever landed it in Junior competition. Puberty seems to change the strength to weight ratio in women in a way that doesn’t work favorably for these kinds of jumps.

I run a meeting every week where I play the soundtrack from either Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Zelda: Windwaker, or My Neighbor Totoro. It’s a shockingly happy and calm meeting, despite being the IT group.

I’m a random internet stranger, so you don’t have to take my advice. That said, it would be worthwhile to have this conversation with your wife.

One of my friends recently broke up with her boyfriend over this. She had a laundry service, cleaning service, and takeout habit for a couple of years (before the relationship) because her work hours can get long and unpredictable at a moments notice. It was expensive, but not ridiculously so for our area, but it made…

MORE COWBELL!!! Those are some great valentines! I would be thrilled with a leg of parma ham or maybe a few pounds of duck fat?

One of the small reasons I appreciate Pauley Perrette and her CAFPOWs. They’re red and actually full! It’s magic and makes the empty coffee cups running amok even worse.

I think it’s a joke at this point. My local hipster indie coffee shop made a point of making it the cheapest item on their food menu after the article.

I might have partially estranged myself from my parents in my twenties because they constantly put me down for wanting free time, a hobby, and a functional (for me) amount of sleep. They thought I should be busy, high achieving, and miserable not happy.

I bribe myself with Fancy latte and a pastry every time I go to the Docs for a shot. This happens a few times a week. Usually, I make coffee at home. So I’ve kind of been using my caffeine addiction to keep me compliant. The doctors have noticed and it speeds things up tremendously. It also makes me associate a…

Spending two months of discretionary income on a Cashmere Burberry Coat... In my own defense walking is my primary mode of transportation and it has almost past the dollar per wear threshold. This winter should make it worth it!

It’s good in Canada because they are competing with Tim Hortons.

My mom bought a C-class 4-matic in 2001, 2009, and 2017. Mostly because all the buttons were exactly where she expected them to be.

I agree with your wife... buy the whirlpool or the GE even. Buy Samsung’s phones and TVs not their fridges. Their not quite as good at non-computer things.
