I’ve been able to get DOUBLEBLOOM to work (non-seasonal bouquet, no vase), but can’t get CHEERFUL to work. This is the error message I’m getting: “CHEERFUL - So sorry, discounts cannot be applied to overnight shipping or giftcards. This discount does not apply to that product category.”

Do any of these work with electric baseboard heat? When I last looked (August/Sept. 2014), I couldn’t find a “smart” thermostat that did. My electric bills can get scarily high in winter (and I sleep better with temperature control), so I purchased a non-smart Honeywell programmable thermostat only to find that it

I think about half the reason I signed up for Trello (over Todoist and similar applications) was the look of this board... And sadly it doesn’t actually seem to be included in Trello Gold! Do you know the source of the background? Thanks!

Yeah, if it were something brought up privately by a guy I’d been seeing, and he hadn’t told me yet for fear of being rejected, it would likely be something I could work through provided he’d been honest/upfront in other spheres of the relationship.

A guy not having a penis is a non-issue to me (in terms of evaluating someone as a prospective sex partner). A guy having had sex with over 100 women is a red flag, although if it was was clear he respected them, and it was safer (protected) sex between consenting adults, I could get past it. A guy lying to women he’s

Meds I carry, although usually in the hospital they want to administer their own. I just have to do quite a bit of schlepping of stuff on a daily basis (the laptop commute), so my phone charger gets de-triaged. I did actually have a spare pair of underwear in my purse this last time, though, so I was able to wear

I actually need one of these. I keep having to send my friends shopping for me because I need deodorant, or non-icky lotion, or ... underwear when I wind up in the hospital. (I also seriously need to have a phone charger in there too — I keep having to rely on the kindness of nurses on that front.) I'm thinking I

There are a lot of comments, so apologies if someone has already posted a solution to my question.

I just googled myself (it had been a year or two since I had last done so) to see what might pop up if someone tried to google-stalk me. Apparently there is a female serial killer with my same last name! (Surprising, given that there aren't actually that many female serial killers, and my last name isn't

Agreed. And that is if you don't have any other major living constraints. I have severe asthma that is strongly triggered by cigarette smoke (i.e., I was recently hospitalized after someone sat down next to me in a coffee shop after smoking a cigarette). It is essential that I live somewhere where my neighbors don't

I absolutely love my Hourglass lipstick in Icon (from Sephora).

Wow. This is beautifully written and really calls out the femme-phobia and misogyny that has made me increasingly uncomfortable in mainstream gay male culture. I have, at points, in my life, been a "fag hag", let my gay male friends grope my breasts (although they always asked, which the important distinction from the

I've lost every notebook I ever tried to take notes in… Occasionally I find them at a much later date. I put everything in the cloud now, because even if I lost my smartphone, I could still access my calendar, notes, and to-do lists from any computer with internet.

I remember that so clearly and it had a really big impact on me! So even though I've always felt like I had ADD-type problems, I thought it was something I should "grow out of."

I thought that I was the only person with this issue! It always wound up being a trade-off between paying attention to what the prof was saying and taking notes...

Thank you so much for this. I am a doctoral student. A fairly successful (i.e., well published) doctoral student at an R1 university. And I was just diagnosed with ADHD for the first time at age 29. I've now been on Adderall for almost a month. And you know what is so funny/amazing about it? It either makes the

The US military has a *huge* rape problem. Do you really think that military prisoners are going to be less likely to assault her? Especially if they also are engaging in "patriotic" retribution against her.

I completely agree. My solution to the two body problem is either long distance or my spouse choosing to come with me and find a job/be a spousal hire. I have put blood, sweat, and tears into my Ph.D. and I am going to get the best job I can find!

Okay, I actually just read the FAQ and it seems like the relationship I described (no abuse of power) is allowed within their guidelines. So overall, I am totally okay with/onboard with their policy provided that they don't start witch hunts over rumors. There was this faculty member at my last institution who was abso

What about a grad student and a professor in another department? I'm currently marooned in a tiny college town to do my Ph.D. I'm on the older side for a grad student, which means that I'm older than many of the grad students around me. Faculty are pretty much the only people in my appropriate dating age range! I
