I got a router at Best Buy after seeing that, on their website, the model I wanted matched Amazon pricing - and I needed it that day. Went to the store, & even though they had a higher price on the sign, they price-matched the website listing, no problem. Just had to ask (and showed them the screenshot I'd taken - I…

Exactly - the big problem is that this list assumes that people get married in the same county where they live. But people don't do that - they get married where they grew up, where the met, in the next county over, in Hawaii for kicks...

There was a food stand near where I lived in Toulouse where the guy would say "coucou" to young women as they approached, all the time. He may have also been foreign and not aware that it's so familiar... but I did hear it a lot.

Where are these hotels? I don't remember ever seeing that, & I've been to a mix of nicer hotels & hostels in a couple different countries

I'm not sure how I feel about that - when I'm traveling, I'm usually doing so much walking / activities that I'd rather just bring more underwear than wear panty-liners (especially during summer months & in warm climates). Comfort over convenience I guess, but worth it to me.

I used to work in a Hallmark that sold them - it was also a challenging brand to keep people from shoplifting (like, wth people - go shoplift some more expensive brands you can resell for more). I liked that the microfiber actually looked professional, & felt like good quality... and I still didn't buy it with my…

You might like their quilted microfiber too - very understated.

They actually come out with something like this every year - this might be the first time they've done faux leather, but they've had monochromatic microfiber lines for years now: http://www.verabradley.com/category/color…

Oh no - not the belt cases! I've been praying those don't come back.

"Coucou" comes from the sound of cuckoo clocks - so you can use it for "peek-a-boo," but it's also used a way to just say "hi there!"

I didn't look that closely at first - doesn't "fringe" mean "bangs?" Somebody's going to go to Paris & sound pretty silly after reading this guide...

The French ones don't seem bad (based off my experience studying in southern France 5 years ago, so grain of salt). "Coucou" is a kind of silly way to say hi - more often between young women/girls, or men to younger women, & only sometimes in a creepy way. I wouldn't use it if you're a dude talking to other dudes.…

Amen. I had to get a new coat this winter because my iphone 4 kept falling out of the pocket of the old one lol. I saw that as my own fault though - I forgot to do the "make sure you could fit mittened hands fully in the pocket in case of extreme cold" test. But I'm looking at the big cell phones now and thinking "so…

Or any pants for women.

To be fair, that is how I'd describe Franzia. *boxed wine burn*

What, and Shenandoah doesn't have shit else? (that's right, I said it)

I'd also add for Philadelphia - stop in a Chickie's & Pete's (during a sports game featuring a Philly team? Even better). Order a Yuengling & get some crab fries. What are crab fries? They're basically fries with Old Bay seasoning & some "secret spices," with cheese sauce for dipping. Even better, get the crab fries…

Pierogi - only in Pittsburgh; Cheesesteak - only in Philadelphia

According to my med-school friend, people of Ashkenazi descent have their own host of genetic diseases because of their history of marrying from a limited pool. Fun fact: I just went to google to confirm, and when I typed it "ashkenazi" google's second suggestion was "ashkenazi jewish disease." Thank you Google:

I saw this headline & made an effort to blink - and my eyes stayed closed for way too long. Guess I'm not taking enough anti-eye strain breaks....
