There should be something just for fun on the ballot, like voting for the best flavor of ice cream . I think that would get a lot of people really excited to get involved

@blgtylr I don't drink tea every day, but when I am visiting my parents I have at least two cups a day

@blgtylr Not like the Brits, but definitely more than Americans. When I lived in the US I offered tea to everyone who came over to the apartment, and I got the feeling that was not usual.

@CartoonsHateHer @naanthannaantha I started your article, but stopped after reading “As a liberal….”

You all know what I’m going to say. I wrote about this, and the fact that “kids are too expensive these days” is actually just about expecting a much better quality of life than even an upper middle class family had in 1960 (link in replies)

The three classic blunders: Never get involved in a land war in Asia, never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and never ask a man two questions in an email when you need both of them answered.

@daniel_m_lavery Ok but also - are boneless rotisserie chickens a thing? Aren't they too floppy?

i need absolutely everyone to know that nicholas sparks is putting 16 packets of splenda in his chicken salad

@kisstheblade_ I know someone who fell for it, and the candles were indeed fake

I keep getting ads for this and the concept is baffling to me. What kind of music? Who's playing? Who cares? Candles! Come watch people make music surrounded by thousands of candles! Can you even imagine!

@debscavator You don't do it. The laundry gods have decided that this is not your time.

You live in an apartment with one washing machine and dryer. The washing machine has just finished its cycle with someone else's clothes (you don't know whose). How long do you wait before you remove the clothes from the washing machine so you can use it?

One of my students wrote about a movie that she learned about from a coworker who likes to recommend really old movies that were popular back in his time.
The movie? Interstellar (2014).
