I do not cook when there’s no one else around. If am off-duty for one blessed night, that means I have a date with a Trader Joe’s chile relleno and a cold, cold beer. (This may disqualify my answer.)

Yeah who needs infants and old people anyway? They just weigh down the system. And people who have had organ transplants or are in the middle of chemo... hell with them. Just push ‘em off the plane actually. More room for my stuff.

What a choice. Rape or frostbite. God why is this man still on the force?

Yeah but taco trucks. That come to your office.

I have to force myself to wait an hour after taking thyroid meds to get that first sip of coffee. Then I exercise and shower. And after that I’ll cut anyone who gets between me and breakfast.

the usefulness of x seems to vary from person to person

How. Did. Pound. Plus. Bars. not make the list. I defy you to find a bigger bargain in quality chocolate. On second thought, never mind, more for me.
And what’s all this about mandarin orange chicken. Snooze button. Where’s my favorite guilty pleasure, the frozen chile relleno? As the only spice fiend in my household,…

I am (gasp) fifty and have only just reached a comfy place w/r/t dressing, where I’m happy with my bod, know my taste, and enjoy combing through thrift stores IRL and on line to find what I know will look good on me. For shoes + underwear as well as some outdoor gear, I do still shop retail, but it’s soooo nice to…

Groovy bag, great deal except for the no refunds or exchanges part. Hard to know if your laptop actually fits in something otherwise :(

I would err toward the 4-month side of that 4-6-month window on international flights. I bought tickets in late July for a Boston-(LAX)-Melbourne trip and, whoops, two months later Delta had changed their schedule and, since I had booked through an external cheapo site that would only switch me to comparable flights (o…

Awaiting study finding opposite results in 3...2...

Save the DJ some trouble - play some rags. Joplin wrote a great cakewalk called ‘Swipesy’, just the right tempo.

My 2002 MB E320 wagon has a vent inside the center console. You know, for keeping snacks fresh. Doesn’t work so well when the heater’s cranked, tho.

Maybe simpler: the president was a turkey.

Make a suit of armor you can wear at your next visit with your mom.

Congratulations for not using his gift on him right then and there.

Are those.... bandicoots? Santa better bring me a bandicoot.

Thanks. I may just do that.

Thanks. Yes, you’d think so - but the booking service would only switch me to another direct flight per their rules and the only other direct flight gives me a huge layover. And I’m traveling with my son, who is, fortunately, a very patient and travel-loving 13-year-old, but still. Certainly on the way home, I’ll try…

Thank you! Now, what to do with an 8+ hour layover in LAX heading out, and 12+ hours on the return? (Yes, I fly as cheaply as possible... and yes, I totally got screwed on this by booking so far out that the domestic leg of my flight was rescheduled. Or so they say.)
