Both my mom and my cousin have Vicodin prescriptions for their most severe migraines. It's not unheard of.

Something like this kinda happened to me recently. A customer called wanting a reservation at a specific time. We were booked up for reservations during their desired timeframe that night, but I offered him a spot on the walk-in list (hour wait) with the caveat that I would call him 20 minutes before a table was…

One of my sons has some food allergies. As a result, we're careful to chose places to dine out that we know can handle his allergies without too much trouble for either him or the restaurant.

Dammit, I was going to be a 3DS this weekend just to play the new Pokemon (my how things have changed since 1998 — I've only ever played the OG games), but my car registration is due Monday. It was the same price as a new 3DS.

This shit right here is why my screenwriting degree from Prestigious Film School has sat unused since the day I turned in my thesis:

Damn, you nailed it. I have an MA in journalism, I knew more about digital media/social media and other less complex computer stuff (like HTML, which anyone working in digital news should know) than my male counterparts — but they, by being comfortable and chummy with the Old White Dudes that made up the upper…

This sounds EXACTLY like something my own mother would pull, so I feel you and send you 10,000 "I'm sorrys."

A lady called in an order to my restaurant two weeks ago and said she was allergic to red. I about died on the phone because BCO was the first thing I immediately thought of. She was 100% serious, too.

Whoa, have you even been a server and tried to correct a customer? The first time I tried that in my first week of serving, a lady went ballistic on me.

Even in celebrity la-la land, there are still better "work" events to bring a kid along to — or at least events where it is easy to whisk the kid off to a quiet location for some downtime. My parents knew, as a toddler, I'd behave at (and enjoy!) a rock concert, but not an evening dinner party. Has nothing to do with…

I know I've said it here before, but I caught Whooping Cough in 2010 during the epidemic in California by babysitting unvaccinated kids. To make matters worseI wasn't told they were unvaccinated until after I was sick. I was undiagnosed for about two months — because who thinks they have Whooping Cough when you were…

Yelp reviews for the restaurant I work at said the servers looked like "hobos."

This is why I am SO STOKED to submit one of my many horror stories with a link to a bona fide Yelp review to prove THE CRAZY WAS REAL.

I had a few friends in sororities, and I really disliked not being able to visit them in their houses. A lot of the Greek houses at my school were old, beautiful 1920s and 1930s mansions — my one close friend lived in a particularly beautiful one — but guests were strictly forbidden, so I never got to see the actual…

I had pretty much all of the "support" and "friendship" and "communities" and "social activities" from being a DJ and staff member at my college radio station for all four years. And I didn't have to pay $5,000+ a semester to do so! (Dues were $20 a semester. Woo hoo!)

I know people who legit hang with TayTay on a regular basis. Do you realize how this degree of separation has made me go absolutely insane and excited and ughhhhhh

If the baby wasn't obviously posed by adults who think babies making hand gestures are endearing, it would just be an Average Looking Baby.

As a USC alum, this is...interesting? A Chi O had the reputation of being the "last pick" sorority when I was there in the mid 00s. Anyone who was rejected from the other houses wound up in A Chi O, and the members were often the target of jokes by frat dudes because of the physical makeup of a lot of the girls in the…

I live in LA, and I've taken to "quick" showers — run the water to get wet, then turn it off to shampoo, shave and lather up. Then I rinse off. The whole process uses about 2 minutes of water or so. I'd be a smelly mess if I skipped showering, so it's a good alternative down here in No Water Land.

I shower every day. Am I weird?
