For me Blue Apron and services like this are so valuable.

I’m going to flash my own incompetence, perhaps, but after a long day I’m a little tired of making those decisions, and moreover, I’m likely to screw up any of those processes. Forget some garlic, buy the wrong amount, pick a bad recipe, get the proportions wrong in an imprecise recipe, etc. And if I want to make…

I am both rich and weird enough to buy one, so I did!

Exactly. My uncle was a fall-down alcoholic and an asshole and we largely all cut him out of our lives. He was not invited to family reunions or weddings, etc. But his kids were never cut out and came to stay with my grandparents every summer. (they lived with their mother, who had wisely divorced my uncle)

Or, here’s another thing to consider: I, for example, share an apartment with two other people. Yes, we have a kitchen, fridge, and pantry. But it’s not big enough for 3 people to keep all their own stuff. Getting things pre-measured means I don’t have to throw out produce because it goes bad before I can eat it, or…

My cousin and his wife use Blue Apron fairly frequently. Of course, he is an ER physician and she is a general surgeon (both in NYC), so the last thing they want to do with the little time that they have off of work and together is go grocery shopping.

Also, I’m pretty sure that Blue Apron costs less per person than…

I am an actually professional chef and those recipes were bullshit. Bullshit amount of steps, bullshit amount of dishes, and bullshit in my mouth. Shitty ingredients makes shitty food and that’s the issue with the flavor. This whole venture is for my husband who is helpless in the kitchen (I’m working 50+ hrs a week…

The tax breaks are worth it.

After 2 years she went from girlfriend to common law hostage

Jesus. This is why you need those nosy neighbors and Jehovas Witnesses. How does no-one call in the fire department for a welfare check on something like this?

“He was raised correctly”

Haha, they aren’t shirts, they are just called t-shirt bras b/c they are supposed to be comfortable and invisible under a t shirt. They are usually wireless. And, yeah, clothing for women in general is tough. We come in so many different shapes and sizes, it makes it hard to find mass produced clothing that works for…

One, I don’t know what dfc is (?), but I think it’s actually probably worse for women with very large breasts. At least I can get away with no wearing a bra or there are a lot of options for bralettes or t-shirt bras that have no underwire that work fine. The only frustrating thing is when you want something fancy or…

the cups are always too molded and I get that awful gap

The only clothing item I have ever bought full price is the VS very sexy multiway bra, which is the only kind that has enough padding but doesn’t give me that gap at the top. The struggle is real for A & B cuppers, friend.

Yeah, I’m a smallish B cup and my boobs don’t hold nothin’. They don’t hold keys, they don’t hold money, they don’t hold shirts, they just kind of sit there.

your anatomy must work different than mine. getting into a sports bra is a 15-20 minute procedure.

I’m jealous of this letter writer for having a guest room! my husband snores and he sleeps on the couch. that makes it sound like I banished him, but I didn’t. he was diagnosed with “mild” sleep apnea, which sucks because now I worry it’ll get worse and affect his health, and he just stopped listening after “mild.”…

#3: Get your second bedroom and enjoy it. Because something that leads to divorce way more often is being so exhausted that everything your spouse does is irritating.

I have to scold you: Stop calling therapists “shrinks.” This reframing will help, I promise. Words have meaning and shrink is a slur; these are highly trained individuals who want you to GROW, not shrink.
