Have you tried The Mediator? By far Cabot's best series! I own all of her books—I just packed up my childhood bedroom this weekend, and her books alone take up two boxes. I'm never parting with them!

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.

To be fair, that cover for "The Guy Next Door" is not the original cover. They like to switch up Meg Cabot's covers every few years.

Thank you!! I am debt free—worked all through college (didn't have summer breaks because of that), received grants from my university, received many outside scholarships, and some parental help. I cannot imagine having to pay off student loans. I would...I don't know what I would do. The only reason I don't have loans…

I'm trying to find the post I originally replied to...and I'm pretty positive it wasn't you. Hm. Sorry for the left-field post.

I started in the East Village in the worst walk-up imaginable. My roommate was in the living room and my bedroom was literally the size of my bed (completely serious and proper use of "literally"). It was over $1k/month. I quickly got out of that situation and moved to an apartment in an "undiscovered" (i.e., not…

You obviously haven't had white borscht. Red borscht, the stuff with beets in it, is NASTY. YUCK. White borscht does not have beets in it. It's cream and mashed potatoes and more cream in a cream soup. YUM YUM YUM.

I'm not trying to refute you, but as a recent grad, I was making $30k/year (just a couple years ago), living in Manhattan, and still had a good rate of savings. I was able to save $10k within a couple of years after beginning working.

I always do this. Always. I have diet restrictions (by choice) and I'm kind of a picky eater, so I don't like being thrown for a loop or taking up extra time to order. It's embarrassing. I recently went out to brunch with my best friend, and the place she chose was full of pork products with no other meats available.…

I wanted to monetize this video in case it got some views, so I searched for public domain songs. Classical is the rare corner of public domain that's not terrible, and Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" had been familiar to me as long as I can remember.

Just FYI: It sounds like George Will paid the school $48k from the title, especially with the inclusion of "professional idiot." I mean, who would be so idiotic as to pay so much to speak somewhere?

Walking around topless in NYC! It's completely legal for men and women to be entirely topless at all times within the city limits.

Incorrect. If she shot the house from the street/sidewalk, then okay, that's fair game. If she enters their property (which she technically did when she passed the chain stating "no trespassers"), then that's a violation.

Keep in mind that credit cards will frequently reimburse you the fee if you ask nicely and if you have made your payments on time.

My husband and I eloped in May (don't tell my parents!). I haven't had the issue yet of "the first year of marriage is hard" (and truthfully this is the first time I've heard of it). I think the reason why it isn't hard for me is because...I don't feel so different from before? Because we got married in the conference…

You're right! I'm moving in January to another country—otherwise I would have moved away much sooner. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

You make a good point and I completely agree with everything you said. I would be more willing to be nicer and more accommodating if she didn't do this so often and if she didn't always lay on the waterworks whenever she was mad at me about something. Even though I'm a woman, I really can't stand when ladies cry. In…

TMI alert.

I would suggest frying/baking the tortilla first before putting on the toppings. Otherwise it just becomes soggy.

Where is my Jez ghost stories post?! I needs it!!!!
