I agree, what a stupid way to handle it! Although: https://thetakeout.com/subway-sandwich-chain-closed-1100-stores-in-2018-1833674984 Maybe they really can’t afford to throw $2-3 your way =P

It’s true. I feel like I got a real deal if it’s 1 for $1.

I usually like an underdog but Ecclesiastical Denzel Washington left me in tears. 

My favorite new Tom Bombadil fact that I caught on my current re-read is that he gets all his news from Farmer Maggot and considers him wise amongst hobbits. That shit is adorable. 

UNACCEPTABLE

I think the phrase “molecular gastronomy” was engineered to appeal to a very specific kind of person and he’s probably wearing a fedora and t-shirt and with a vest over it.

I never had a problem with the word moist, but thanks to your comment I’ve discovered I have a problem specifically with the phrase “the moisture comes out” in relation to food in my mouth =(

Yes! And savory isn’t even used that way (at least in America) - it’s sometimes used to describe a flavor quality, but it’s just as frequently used broadly as the opposite of sweet.

I’m glad you’re still here =]

Out of sheer curiosity, what airlines are you flying? I’ve never, literally never, had to pay for seat choice, unless I wanted an upgrade, and I fly multiple airlines.

When my husband and I went to Toyko, we visited a Melon Pan store near Nakamise Dori in Asakusa (I think it’s this one - it was very good!). We went there twice, and both times they were playing the same song, on loop. JUST ONE SONG. We figured out it was Toyko Boogie Woogie. I hope we went on some weird anomaly of a…

I noticed this too! So weird! I very definitely could be remembering wrong, but I thought people who were talking to him were looking in different directions. Maybe he kept moving? 

Try to sell him on 24 Hour Body/Slow Carb. It’s very close to Keto, but rather than cut out almost all carbs it has you eat complex carbohydrates, mainly from beans. You don’t have to track stuff like mad and you end up eating a lot more veggies (they only tell you to not go too heavy on tomatoes, carrots and peas…

In my Imaginary World of Perfect Revenge, I would have started calling all of them baby right back, and at least one of them would have gotten so upset he cried, because he’s never been demeaned like that before!! They all leave in a huff and everyone who’s still in the bar, which includes the first guy’s girlfriend…

I was a children’s librarian and I had a patron who would always call me “honey/baby/sweetie” — but it was a mom. It was clear from everything about interacting with her that she didn’t mean it in a flirtatious or malicious way, but it was definitely condescending and generally weird. We all wore name tags. People…

Completely agree!! And I would also add: even if you theoretically have someone you can trust COMPLETELY, phones can’t be 100% secure. You could be the randomly chosen target of a hacker, or more likely, lose your phone. There’s no guarantee whoever finds it will be nice. The cost/benefit has never weighed out to me.

Replacing sorry with thank you for asking things of people has done so much for me! I used to apologize nine times out of ten when asking a favor, but I heard that advice somewhere and it made me realize that thanking the person for their help/expertise/time comes much closer to the heart of what I’m going for when I…

Marinades WORK, they just don’t work in the ways some people THINK they do. They do a set of things, and don’t do another set of things. I don’t know where everyone got the idea that marinades are supposed to somehow seep to the middle of a cut of meat. I never thought it did or that it was supposed to - it’s a sauce…

Interesting! For us and I’d say the majority of weddings I’ve attended, it’s a celebration of the relationship between their couple, their friends and family. A time to enjoy each other’s company and say thank you. If children are in that group then they should be there, but we are both among the oldest of our groups…

“Also, if there is a no kids rule, I can almost guarantee there was an argument about it between the bride and groom.”
