I am poor and do not have this magical DVR ability you speak of. Basic cable FTW.

I bet the producers were SO MAD about the weather. Heck, I was mad about the weather! I wanted to see an Emily/Olivia showdown a la Ashley I and Kelsey from Chris’s season. But everyone was too miserable and cold so we got one half-baked conversation per lady and a swift disposal of Olivia. So many tears shed for what…

I really zone out during the one-on-one dates sometimes because of this. And every time I’m amazed how it’s possible to air so much footage of people having the same conversation over and over. They only talk about 1.) their feelings for the bachelor/ette 2.) sad story about their past that only leads to more…

I think that’s why they teased all the crying at the end of the episode. The producers are desperately crying “Ok we sent the crazy ones home but these people are still all lost and and confused and it’s going to be so fun to watch!”

Ugh I realized too late that I’ll be missing part of it because of Valentine’s dinner with my spouse. Luckily we booked for earlier in the evening so we should only miss the beginning! We have our priorities straight - barely.

Since my bachelor buddy (husband) is in class Mondays this semester, the only other real life human I have to talk to about all the ~drama~ is my mama. Your recaps and the ensuing discussions are my life on Tuesdays!

I did too, like a sarcastic spin on the “This one trick will make your diet the best ever!”

You’re welcome! And thank you too!

I can’t say I understand, since I have not personally experienced depression, but I appreciate how difficult it must be. It’s hard to motivate myself to get out there and do what needs to be done and I’m (ostensibly) a perfectly healthy person. I really hope you find a doctor that’s helpful to you, but know that can…

Hey dude, I hope I don’t come off as a jerk here, but it sounds like you’re not in a place to date anyone and should probably be working on yourself right now. And maybe you are! But some of the best advice I read (from a Dan Savage column) was, when you’re in a dry spell and not feeling like a quality mate, to focus…

I know a couple that has an account for each of their (multiple) pets. They tag their pets in photos, update their statuses as their pets, and comment on pictures of themselves as their pets, and refer to themselves as “mommy” and “daddy” and their pets as their “babies”.

So much this. Reasons to Facebook your spouse, IMO: 1. Share links (I personally hate Facebook messenger if I can avoid it) 2. Make sure EVERYONE knows how in love you are. Either is fine in moderation, but some people are really over the top Facebooking people they live with and see every day.

I can’t imagine not having some sort of safe personal space to myself. I usually end up telling my spouse everything. But knowing I can rant to my best friends and get things in perspective when I’m mad BEFORE broaching the issue with my husband is invaluable. And I would not feel comfortable turning to someone for…

My husband and I have separate email accounts, but I created a joint email for us when we got engaged. It did not replace our individual accounts, but was useful for creating joint log-ins on wedding planning sites and when communicating with vendors. And I got to avoid a bunch of wedding spam in my inbox, yay! Since…

I forgot to watch the third season entirely. The second season had its highlights but it was also pretty dark and draining even for a dramedy. But I have a lot of time on my hands for more TV lately so now it’s a debate between Better Call Saul, Angel (I never did get around to it after watching all of Buffy), or…

Thank you for posting this! This is a much clearer, more reasonably put statement than the CDC put out.

I remember hearing about this technique when I was a teenager (friend had little siblings) and I remember thinking “ew gross!” but I’m totally going to use it on my kid because if you’ve never had plain juice, you never know what you’re missing! Meanwhile, I refused to drink anything but soda and a couple types of…

I remember when the rules about riding in the backseat reached my family in the 90s. I always rode in the front seat because I got horrible car sickness otherwise. I was so mad when I had to start riding in the back with my baby sister and also barfed quite a few times on longer rides. Now I understand the safety…

See, I think they were not close at all, but dealt drugs in business together. Apparently there was a pattern of Jay borrowing Adnan’s cell phone and car while he was at track practice to buy weed for them. And Jay seemed to be on the police’s radar for it, too.

I loved at the end of Undisclosed when each of them gave their theories about the case. I am totally on board with someone Hae knew paging her and her going to meet them after school, someone that was never looked at by name in Serial or Undisclosed. Second guess is that other serial killer. Third is Don, but I don’t…
