I was out on Saturday evening, 7-ish and a group of people came in baby in tow. The bartender was priceless: She gave them a big smile, gestured toward an open booth and said, "Hi! Great to see you," and then under her breath just loud enough for me and my companion sitting at the bar to hear, "you brought a…

Sort of sums up the difference between Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts (as organizations, not individual members). It does seem like the Boy Scouts are at least trying to get their shit together to the extent that Girls Scouts has had since its inception.
Man, I love when I accidentally end up cleaning a room or my entire apartment! Like when you start off just trying to deal with some little thing (a spill in the fridge, a splotch on the bathroom mirror) and the next thing you know, your chores are done! I'm a notoriously bad housekeeper, so I totally get the…
This powdered peanut butter you speak of...it sounds magical! Where does one purchase (because I'm too lazy to google and wanted to respond to get you out of the greys.)
I have a Ninja and I love it! Here's my post-workout morning smoothie:
And even Veselka isn't what it was in the 80s and 90s. 4 a.m. kasha vernishka! I annoy my 20-somthing nieces with tales of the East Village and LES from "back in my day," while adjusting the onion on my belt.
Well fundamentalist Christians should be all right with it—it's the very definition of traditional biblical marriage.
I read it before the Taliban or the Christian fundamentalist (overt) war on women and was terrified. Almost every day I'm reminded of that book.
It's kind of nice too, when I do hug my friends and they tell everyone "TheWireMonkey even *hugged* me!" because they know it actually means something, not just social protocol.
Well, it is kind of forced on adults too—the hug has replaced the handshake in almost every context but business. I hate it.
My good friends know that a hug has to be earned—not just for saying hello or goodbye. If I'm with new acquaintences I just tell them, "yeah, I'm not really a hugger." I hate that hugging has replaced handshakes in the past couple of decades.
One Christmas when I was home from college I was messing around with my cousins and I don't remember the exact context, but I said to the youngest one (maybe 11 or 12 at the time) that if he didn't relent to something (shit, I really can't remember what it was, giving me the remote to the tv or something completely…
Would the question be asked of anybody else who's had corrective surgery for a birth anomaly? If not, or if the answer is really fucking obvious (um, yeah, recovering from reconstructive surgery probably hurts. Next question) then it isn't appropriate here either.
OT, but this reminded me of what I like to say when meeting with a new doctor and the question "Are you sexually active?" comes up.
Simpsons did it.
Good point—I'm in the same place (vegetarian, conservationist, pro-cull), but I wonder how much environmental damage is done when uneducated civilians go tromping through the everglades in search of snakes.
"Drones" has become synonymous with unmanned military devices, but in fact they can be incredibly useful and benign (and cost-effective) in agriculture, forestry and wildlife management. Check out ConservationDrones.com
I'm just short of PETA on the animal rights scale and I agree with you. My brother owned a ball python and it was a lovely pet at the time, but these snakes are destroying the fragile ecosystem of the everglades, including several endangered native species. First blame goes to irresponsible owners letting them…
True fact: -40 is where metric and Imperial temperatures meet up.
