There was that guy way back in ... 2003? 2004? who was all religious/pro-life and picked some fights here on that topic. IIRC it was a crossover from the KRECS board? UHX'ers were not into that.

Hey all you NYC visitors, can you report here on must-do/must-see/must-eat experiences?

Most of mine are boring, because thousands of people have my name. But there are a couple of good ones.

I did not like girl scouts. It was just a total popular girl clique. There was an odd number of girls so I never had a buddy. It took me a couple of years before I got up the gumption to tell my mom I didn't want to go anymore. We didn't do cool thi…

I knew a guy who had a Bernese Mountain Dog, and they would go up to the mountain and the dog would pull the guy on skis. Sounds fun! (Sort of. Also scary. But I bet that dog loooved it.)

My work is hiring an admin assistant. Pass on to anybody who would be interested.

What about veg/veegs/artisan charcuterie?

If you need a last-minute valentine, try printing out one of these, featuring famous dictators, or these, featuring famous philosophers!

I was going to give Josh this card, but I didn't get my act together. Sorry, honey! Also, we decided this morning to opt out of any perhaps-extant compulsory Valentine's action for Calvin. For gods sake, he's two. Those kids couldn't care less. But…

ENXJ. The E and the J are a very strong fit for me. The other two, not so much (X = inconclusive).

Wow, Curt. My favorite part of that article is how he won't make espresso after the morning because "the spike on the power grid after that time precludes drawing the voltage required for optimal pressure." JAPAN WHY YOU SO JAPANESE?!

Pretty much every fancy lady boutique or shoe store in Portland has a nice small selection of jewelry. Manifesto on N Miss, for example, or Betsy & Iya, or Frances May, or Redux, or wherever. But I also love shopping on Etsy when I have someth…

This thread was too good - we're going to NYC too! And I'm adding to my list: Orchard Corset

Also, Calvin Trillin was doing tours for a couple years of his favorite hole-in-the-wall eateries. If you don't know his writing about eating in NYC (try "Feeding a Yen," available at MCL), I recommend it really highly. Anyway, here are the details …

Must see that Seventeen Magazine issue! Flossy, break it out!!!

I guess you're going to have to stay there for two months, Mike.

"Sweetie" is my enduring favorite term. It allows you to ask people questions without making assumptions about their sexual orientation, too, so that's nice. But I also like "gentleman friend."

We had Gary and YT over for dinner recently, and in honor of this thread I made this recipe. I really loved it! Highly recommended. I made it again last night with ordinary mushrooms, and it was still delicious, so don't let cost keep you from makin…

Everyone needs a Roomba. They are the best. We got our OG Roomba on CL for like $45. It broke after a while, and then we got another one that way. Admittedly, I now know that the new ones work even better and are smarter and quieter, but that first …

YT, back when I was actually good about doing exactly what you describe, the trick for me was coming up with a very specific list of tasks for a 2-hour house cleaning, and always doing them in the same order. For me, that reduced the psychological b…

@Wanda, would love to walk with you! And it sounds ridiculously fun to take a ballet class with you & some other fine ladies. I'll see if I can get a kiddo care schedule worked out. I can't tell from the schedule if they accommodate drop-ins, th…

I don't make formal resolutions, but I have decided to give myself 'credit' for walking as exercise, and I want to do a lot more of it. I always think that walking doesn't count and I should really start jogging, but since I hate jogging this just r…

I was all geared up to opt out of the screening machine at PDX this morning but luckily they waved me through the metal detector. Seriously, though, I find the opting out thing so stressful, because I naturally just want to be a good little traveler…

Sorry, did I forget GameFly?
