Of course we can knock on your door. Anyone can come knock on your door, really. It’s not enough to get a search warrant or to conduct a warrantless search and you’re free to tell me to go away but there’s no reason I can’t go knock and say “hey, do you have this phone?”

I would imagine that most businesses would opt for floor to ceiling partitions (and actual walls rather than flimsy partitions)- heck, McDonald’s has that- once gender neutral bathrooms become the norm. My husband’s big contribution to this: what about urinals? Frankly, I prefer single toilet bathrooms in general (as…

My error! I was half watching my husband shovel snow and half reading. I thought you were objecting to trans women in the women’s room. I see now that I misread your post. I actually don't object to gender neutral bathrooms though. I don't use restrooms that are at the end of long creepy hallways and I head right back…

Haha valid. As a woman in public safety, I've really hit the bathroom lottery- no line and it's always clean cuz there are very few other women.

The Venn diagram of men who want to rape you and “men” who want nothing more than to be left alone to live their lives as the women they are and be able to pee in peace has a really small overlap. It's actually just like 1 guy. Don't worry about that guy.

Yeah, I've been puzzled by gender specific restrooms that just have one toilet before I ever considered the idea of transgender bathroom issues. It's very strange to wait for one bathroom to be vacant when the exact same one is vacant right next to you.

Chili! I'm surrounded by delicious smells and trying not to gobble it up before my husband gets home...

The headline makes it sounds like NBC has demanded pilots. “Quickly! Dispatch one of our foot soldiers! We simply must have pilots from Rashida Jones and Amy Poehler. And an enormous jar of pistachios. On the double!” I dig it.

That makes sense. We’ve always made within a couple thousand of each other so that hasn’t been an issue. My husband (hopefully) should start making a lot more than me in the next few years and, so far, the plan is to divide the bills based on who makes what- like if he makes $100K and I make $50K, he’ll pay 2/3 of the…

What headaches has your best friend’s set up caused? My husband and I have been together almost 10 years (married 6) and have seperate accounts. Seperate banks, actually. I also didn't change my name and the only issue we've ever had is when his bank refused to deposit our tax return. My bank (yay Navy Fed) deposited…

When I went to Iceland, I was amazed at the girls wearing shorts and tights while I was shivering in my heavy coat and extra layer of long johns. They didn't look cold but holy crap...I'd have gotten hypothermia in 5 minutes.

My first house was an affordable dwelling unit which meant I paid about $150,000 when my neighbors paid about $300,000-$400,000. Guess what? My townhouse was smaller, I didn’t have a little under the stairs spot for my trash bin, all my finishes were builder grade, no ceiling fixtures, no washer/dryer, no deck, blah…

She not only acts like she doesn’t care but I actually believe that she truly doesn’t care what Bethenny has to say. Love Erika.

I'm delighted by the idea of you selecting a penis fabric! Sounds like your son will be a great big brother.

I’ve only worked in public safety since I was 18. Now, 16 years later, I’m still in public safety but work in an office where I’m largely left alone to get my job done. After years of being tied to a radio and never knowing if I’d have the next 5 minutes or 2 hours free, I never developed a “lunch break” mentality.…

Your friend has no idea how to clear a gun. In no way is pulling the trigger the first step in clearing any weapon I've ever encountered. He should have pointed it in a safe direction, racked the slide several times, and confirmed visually and physically that the action was empty. He also should've done all this at…

That’s the one we use. So tasty!

We have Taco Sundays! It's a very exciting day.

Target has great fleece lined tights for under $10. They don't look thick but are so warm and cozy. I use them to wear dresses in the cold- add some flat boots and you're set.

I’m bummed by all the shitty comments about “people who do this”. Not everyone will enjoy it but not everyone wants to participate in your random hobby either. I did a paint/wine thing at a friend’s house and it was great! She had a bunch of women from work over, made dinner and cocktails, and we painted our little…
