Grilled cheese made with mayo is the business.

From now on I have completely forgotten his name- he’s just the “off-brand” one.

I think DSPS is very much a YMMV thing :) and I ‘m sorry that you have it AND can’t sleep with lights on, because it’s one more thing to add to the complexity of having it!

If you’re a creative night owl whose mind works best after midnight, why are you trying to fall asleep? You just got paid to write this article, right? Maybe you have DSPS, not insomnia, and maybe your life would be transformed if you didn’t have to get up in the morning. Yes, it means disability negotiations with…

oh God is that why I can’t sleep!?!? I’m usually SUCH a good sleeper within my natural schedule.

I sleep with the lights on too. I have DSPS, a circadian rhythm disorder (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome), and it’s physically impossible for me to keep an 11 to 7 type “normal” sleep schedule. On my natural sleep cycle, 3am to 11am, I fall asleep instantly, sleep deeply for 8 hours and 20 minutes, and wake up without…

One of our cats, the fluffy dumb one, likes to get in my armpit and knead like that. Then I say to her, “Do you think I’m your mom-my? I’m not your mommy- I mean, I *am* your mommy, but I’m not your mom-my...” in a delirious singsong baby voice. Every night. I went to Stuyvesant High School, it should be noted.…

I also read jez from Germany and would love to have this feature, and the enjoyable Team Cat/Team Dog commentariat, daily.

Your thoughts sound like what my husband says to our cats out loud pretty much all the time.

I had one as my first b/c at 14, in 1981. You had to wait six hours after sex, so I sometimes had to pull it out and wash it and put it back in its case in the Stuyvesant bathroom. And yes, there was a leakage problem. Especially if you’d had sex multiple times and added additional spermicide after each act, as you…

I would bang Fiona Staples’ Jughead.

Her Jughead makes me swoon, in a Crispin Glover way. She’s an extraordinary talent.

Once in the 80s my mom told me this joke: “What’s the difference between cock and parsley? Nobody eats parsley!” I remembered it because I love parsley so much I always do eat the garnish, but rinse it off in my water glass first since I know the kitchen prolly didn’t.

Exactly! Vanilla is a delicate, complex floral flavor profile. Don’t tell me Crème brûlée is sophisticated and vanilla ice cream isn’t.

I am so very sorry that happened to you. Birthday cake choice is sacred to me, the time when respecting someone’s agency and personal taste is absolutely critical.

No, it’s from The Phantom Tollbooth! At least, that’s what I thought of the second I saw it.

Agreed. Her hair looks really pretty too.

It’s just the Phoenix logo from the chest of her costume- I would take a photo but we have phone issues!

I’m sorry that happened to you. I had a similar experience, and losing your home, your marriage and being financially ruined during a recession is pretty hard. Oddly enough one of the things that kept me going was that I knew so many other Americans were fighting their way through tough times too.

I’m in the greys on this site, but I posted a comment about some the many dangers of doing this in California.
