Why wouldn't he take the deal? It doesn't inspire much confidence when the lawyer drops his client. If Egan didn't take the deal, it either means that he's sure he'll win, or that he's crazy. With a drawn-out trial, he's going to owe his lawyer a lot of money if he loses.

Oh I love agave! One time my parents made French toast and they didn't have any maple syrup (I was SHOCKED. I love maple syrup and when I was a kid we always had a bottle or five—you know, for the different grades—of that sweet sweet stuff). But they did have blue agave. I'd never had it before, gave it a go, and it…

WANT. The stained glass is one of my favorite parts of the movie!!

That's my thing. That's definitely my thing.

Actually if you live in the Pacific NW (that's what PNW is, right?) you might not get Vitamin D from the Sun during the winter. I know that in NYC, Vitamin D is unable to penetrate through the atmosphere during the winter because of the angle of the Earth in relation to the Sun. I don't have a link because it's an…

Maybe you should tell her that agave is sugar. If she's been told to cut out all sugar, agave still counts as sugar. When I go on no-sugar (supervised) detoxes (similar to your cousin's—no dairy, no grain, no soy, no fruit, no sugar, no nuts—except mine is supervised by a nutritionist and lasts only for a very short…

I know I'm not the person to be answering this, but you could make a big vat of something on Sunday that can be eaten throughout the week. Last week I made mashed cauliflower (a mashed potato substitute), turkey meatballs, and marinara sauce, and I grabbed a bag of frozen corn to keep at work that I could heat a…

Same. I go to a boot camp class two days per week, and even though I have to get up at 5am for it, knowing that if I don't go I've forfeited the money gets me right out of bed (and also the nightmares that I'm going to sleep through the alarm and miss the class!).

I know I'm not the person to be answering these questions, but if you live in such a crowded city, do you live near a park? If so, you can use their natural resources as a gym. You could buy a couple of resistance bands, and you can do push-ups, step-ups, mountain climbers, tricep dips, and so many other strengthening…

Four day plateau?! I wish mine was only four days...it's been months!

Truthfully, a lot of the time people's majors have little to no bearing on their future career, especially those who go to liberal arts colleges. My major certainly didn't.

I would say the "spread" method is worth it only if I had enough saved equal to the amount owed on the mortgage. Otherwise I'm most likely still in the red. That being said, I'm still a renter, and probably won't buy a house for another five years.

You sure sound awesome. You do realize there have been anti-Semitic protests in Europe recently, right? Yelling "Death to Jews" and "Slit Jews throats" and "Hitler was right"? They've targeted Jewish shops.

Hey don't knock it! I keep a cardigan at work. They love to keep my office at freezing. I have many colors of cardigans because I'm uncomfortable wearing anything less than a sleeve at my office, even though we're really laid back (I have seen people wear ripped clothing with ink stains and no-one cares).

I will also be moving continents around the time of my wedding...that is a very good idea.

I have heard the same thing on the east coast—you receive gifts at the shower, and then cash at the wedding, and you can choose either or both (?). For the weddings I've been to on the west coast, you bring a gift to the wedding and that's it.

My in-laws thankfully have no qualms about handing over cash—they're good people and generous, even though they everything they have they worked very, very hard for (they're from a very, very rural town of a former Soviet country. Said town received paved roads less than ten years ago, and when they lived there, there…

I begged my boss for more work and she told me to do the work she gives me. My tactic this year was that I want to learn more.

My job literally can't give me enough work to do, yet they consider me indispensable (which is very, very nice). I watched Pretty Little Liars all last week while working. I think I'm going to catch an episode of Orphan Black today. I just had my annual review, in which they didn't say anything about me (which was…

PETA makes me want to eat all the meat in the world (AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE MEAT).
