Partly valid, but it’s worth factoring in metabolic weirdness when arguing that angle: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/health/biggest-loser-weight-loss.html

Absentee ballot?

Sesame Street, until it sold out to HBO.

If he’d dissembled or changed the subject, we wouldn’t be talking about this right now. We all know what it sounds like when someone politely moves a conversation along - that wasn’t this. He was an active participant who introduced topics independently and objectified a coworker all on his own.

Try Frontier House. Less “live like a poor” and more completely fish-out-of-water.

That show stressed my uncle out so much. He eventually gave up on shouting at anyone onscreen “go chop wood! You can talk while chopping wood! Why are you sitting down?!” and started musing that they should just cut into a hillside and try to rely on some of the insulation of a fortified cave and hibernate.

A mom of six (most of whom are old enough to read) not wanting her pre-nup divorce to go nuclear and trying to stamp out gossip? Yeah, real evil.

My parents were just relentless about getting out of bed and putting us back in ours. I seem to remember there being some sort of rule as well - something like if you got up once because of a scary dream, Dad would rub your back a little once he put you back in bed, but after that you took yourself back to bed.

Is it possible that in their family, they pay a tax for using the word “tremendous”? You know, like a swear jar.

I think anyone who votes for him should start each day with a Trump affirmation email, taking one of his hideous insulting quotes and putting their name in it.

At 8:45 AM, the platform was likely much more crowded than depicted in this photo.

It actually is an end station for the PATH - there are two main PATH lines in NJ, one going to Hoboken and the other to Jersey City and beyond. On the weekends they kind of blend the systems so that a single train goes to Hoboken, then backs out of the station and continues on to Jersey City.

Hoboken’s an end station. There are barriers between the end of the train platform and the pedestrian areas, but it’s pretty tight - as you’re walking across the transit area the lead cars aren’t more than about thirty feet away from you, gets very hot in the summer. There are also green gates at the top of each…

Why do people shower two times a day? I’ve never understood this. If you’re exercising, I can imagine a daily shower, but two? Are you showering when you get up, and then again after the gym? Unless you’re having sex, what are you doing in your sleep to require another shower? Is this about hair maintenance?

I am unapologetically, viciously, Britishly delighted about this. Of COURSE Mary would stay with the BBC, she’s not a backstabbing moneygrubber who is terrible Paul!

That would be nice - unfortunately dumpsters don’t usually self-destruct. Also:

You know you’re a New Yorker if you’ve ever moved in with a boyfriend/girlfriend solely for the 50% reduction in rent.

My mom was sick and powered through it for weeks before finally hitting a figurative wall - I have a vague memory of calling my dad at work to tell him Mom was too tired to come out of the bathroom. My dad brought her to the doctor and I remember sitting in the car as he basically carried her back out, told us she had…

“This is a new menu and I’m not a rug”- you aren’t salad dressing either, Chrissy...is she trolling??

There is no point. Fuck the production company, those soulless harridans. I hope they enjoy incorporating branded marzipan and trying to figure out what to cut out to accommodate adverts.
