On Ending Wedding Gifts

@sheistolerable I don't love this--fewer people actually graduate from college than get married in their lives. Of course, I also live in a state where gay marriage is legal so I don't have the anti-egalitarian problem.

On Monday Check-in

I just learned that hot water/cold water thing from my mother in law about a year ago--we were visiting a little cabin her family owns and once she told me, I almost thought I could smell a more metallic smell in the hot water than the cold.

On Very Specific Reasons to Buy and Eat Dessert

@coastalelite I do this kind of thing! It is fun sometimes and bad sometimes. I got hired as a very entry-level person with a bachelor's in sociology and a lot of social statistics courses.

On I Spend a Lot of Time Thinking About Hair Removal What About You

@zamboni Ok, so I recently joined Dollar Shave Club and it's wonderful. It's basically a mail order razor cartridge replacement service. Using old blades was the biggest thing that was irritating my skin, so that kind of forces me to switch them out and not be a stingy idiot about throwing old ones away. It also seems that razors meant for dudes work a bit better on my face but I may be imagining it. I get one of the multi-blades, the description has some blurb about how your girlfriend will steal it for her legs (lol, but it does work well on legs when I want it to). Other than that, I always shave in the shower, never lathering up in front of the mirror like dudes in commercials do. I also use a super gentle face soap like Cetaphil to do it.

On I Spend a Lot of Time Thinking About Hair Removal What About You

So I have a major, Bearded Lady level problem with this and I say: shave your face! I used to hate it but it is SO easy! Also you don't have to grow it out and it's cheap. I did get laser hair removal with a Groupon and the hair level is more reasonable now but not zero.

On How Much Do You Spend on Groceries Every Week?

@OllyOlly I just grabbed my full food budget from Mint for the past 12 months, which includes alcohol and restaurants, and got about $160 per week for 2 people. The grocery budget alone looks a lot better because obviously eating out and booze are both separate.
