Can I quote you in my email signature?

Me, too. I work for a company with major offices in various states. Communications from our headquarters in the South can be jaw-dropping with the religious references. I’m on the West Coast and snark about it with a co-worker on the East Coast. But what do you expect from us coastal elitists?

I can’t get over the idea that “Hey” turned out to be the right guy. Wonder how often that happens.

While a 4 degree span might not be achievable, San Diego stays pretty stable all year - average winter in the low 60s and summer in the mid to high 70s. So a range of maybe 15 degrees. Housing is pricey of course.

OMG; I’ve been complaining to Amazon for years about the exact same thing. Seriously - tossing over a fence nowhere near my house. It must be part of (or maybe the only part of )the OnTrac training.

Yeah. As I was reading the suggestions, it seemed to me that you would need to know before you pick a major whether office work is for you or not. No way the average kid is really going to know that.

Fun. thanks.

As soon as I heard about the fries, I suspected exactly the flaws you mentioned. Don’t news organizations have science editors anymore? (I know, wishful thinking.)

I tend to take a live-and-let-live approach to people’s dietary choices especially when they are trying to choose well. So the level of contempt I feel for Goop surprises me. You are a good sport to even give it a try and to offer options, IMO.

Oh FFS.
BTW, don’t go into accounting for a living. You have no idea what you are talking about with regard to business expenses.

I so love this; and I agree. Often in my life the attraction came after getting to know someone.

But here’s my question, how does one date 5 - 6 times (or heck even 3 - 4 times) without feeling like they are leading someone on? That has been the downside to online dating in my experience. (Granted, there are other…

I rarely fly and when I do it is on the cheapest flights, because that’s all corporate travel will pay for. Perhaps that is why my experience seems to be so much worse than what others are discussing.

I cannot relate to all this talk about laptops. My experience is that even with the tray table up and I am just…

Try some Asian noodle dishes - with peanut sauce, for instance. They’re delish at room temp and can be made ahead.

That’s right. I heard that Aldi expanded to CA. None close enough to me to try, yet.

Yep. If I don’t cook - or at least prep - on the weekend, I’m eating out all week. I’m nearing retirement, work long, stressful hours, and I just don’t have it to give anymore.

I’ve been eyeing the Purple Carrot plan. But as noted above, I am reluctant to invest. They post a lot of their recipes, and I have clipped many and saved them to my Paprika app to try out. Of course, like you, they will probably sit there for far too long. But on the plus side, if I ever wonder what to do with an…

Helpful assessment. I need a decent amount of food to feel full. I always assumed that with these meal services, I would have to be sure to have some sort of add-on (soup, salad, or bread) to be satisfied. I also knew that it was more likely I would simply eat most of it in one sitting. You have confirmed my…

He coined the term “reducetarian” with his friend Tyler Alterman to refer to people who are trying to cut the amount of meat in their diet for whatever reason, without the pressure of ever being a “lapsed” vegetarian.

I love breakfast, so I pretty much eat everything. But rule number 1 - it must have fruit. I don’t feel like I’ve had breakfast if I haven’t had fruit. Oh, and it goes without saying, coffee, right? (No milk or sugar for me, thanks.)

During the week, it is typically fruit and oatmeal - rolled or steel cut - with…

I didn’t either. So when I had to make a quick stop at the market on my way home tonight, I had to check. Sure enough - they had the raspberry. For 99 cents, how could I not pick one up to try?
