From where I sit, declining still works.  You don’t own any explanation for declining or refusing to invite people to a wedding.  Life is too short to dance to the tune of other people’s expectations.

THANK YOU! As someone who suffers from gastroesophaegeal reflux disease, I have to abstain from several things, including both coffee and alcohol (yes, I have to live my life au naturel). It’s not a moral thing at all, but it’s also nobody’s damn business what pain I’d be in if I had alcohol. Best thing is to just say…

I just started jogging again (haven’t for many years due to a lingering injury) just as the weather is getting super cold here, so this is just in time. Thanks! I mainly need to pick up some shoes for wetter winter weather at this point, and I’ll have to look into mittens and a good hat. Right now I’m still doing a…

I’ve not worn this specific shoe, but my running shoes are Saucony and they’ve always been very high quality. And the Ice+ has a sole by Vibram, and any shoe I’ve ever had with a Vibram sole has been very grippy in slick conditions. 

I’ve just found out about waterproof socks and they are a game changer. I really like the brand Randy Sun (available on Amazon and many hiking stores) which offers several styles with Merino wool interiors. I was truly skeptical but they really keep the moisture (whether rain or snow) away from your feet and allow…

I don’t run, but can anyone out there tell me more about the Saucony Peregin Ice+ shoes. I would like to walk my dog more, but I live in northern ND and that can be dangerous during the winter. In the past I’ve used yaktrax, but those tend to wear out pretty quickly if I use them for walks. I’m hoping these might be…

Thanks for this! As an avid lifehacker reader and trans comic I love this list. Here is a shameless plug for my standup.

I never liked him to begin with. The dude takes himself way too seriously, which is a bit ironic. 

Man, I was pretty excited there for a second, being a fan of Carrell and The Americans, then I read the premise with the fridging and the dumb serial killer plot and my eyes glazed over in record time.

I had gotten down to one meat-based meal per day, sometimes none at all, and then I got sick and lost 75 lbs., mostly muscle mass, so I’ve been eating a lot of meat lately (mostly poultry with occasional beef).

I’m gonna need to start stepping down eventually - once my weight has stabilized.

I don’t think I’ll ever go…

“Sounding suspicious as hell”, “not trusting banks”, and “raising red flags for random internet commentators” is not, as far as I’m aware, any legal test for the seizure of assets.  

Calling someone “Apricot Ashtray” seems like a fairly unkind thing to do when hoping someone else doesn’t end up under the same circumstances.  You’re doing much the same thing as everyone else who treated her badly.

I have a dedicated unused android phone with Strong (subscription, ugh.) I’ve tried a number of apps and find that one quite good. Really flexible.

Good instructions on what to do with all the fireworks I’m going to find in my backyard and on my roof tomorrow from all the neighbors setting them off illegally.

Or just stop using fireworks that are loud and potentially dangerous. They scare the crap out of dogs and cats, as well as combat veterans. Sparklers is all I’m going to enjoy today.

I’m 60 years old. I’ve been working out , on and off , for the past 40 years. I’ve done the bodybuilding thing, the power lifting thing, the aerobics thing, the spinning thing, etc. I’ve weighed as much as 225 and as light as 165 ( I’m 5' 9" and was 160 pounds when I graduated college. I’m currently 172 lbs and trying…

I would have never guessed Lebanese/Korean with that aesthetic from Kansas.

Andrew Yang is totally vague and out-of-touch, but I would have paused on that question too. Love me some classic Jay-Z but trying to think of a track from the 90s where he didn’t say something truly horrible about women would be an impossible task. Which is likely exactly what Ziwe was going for with her line of…
