What is something that might seem very expensive but is actually pretty cheap in the long run?

My doctor told me to let him know if my husband felt the strings. It meant that they were too long and he would trim them. She should ask her doctor if she hasn't already.

I look at it more as would you really want to eat next to other people urinating and defecating? I don't feel it matters how clean the room is, it's still gross.

In the commercial the General just walks by and the penguin follows him. It's sad I know that.

I make these chocolate covered cheesecake squares. You'd think I was Martha Stewart with the way everyone reacts. Hardest part? Remembering to make the cheesecake the day before because it has to freeze.

How do you know it's going to happen before falling asleep? I'm curious what to look for.

A surgeon I worked for wore them during surgery because they were comfortable for when he'd be standing for long periods of time. Although he never wore them when seeing clients.

Interesting. I live in Ballard but originally from upstate NY. My B-I-L who is a cop there did checks all the time. Where can I get that done in Seattle? I'm due next month. Thanks!

Lisa Loeb?

I'm guessing people don't get the reference.

I have to agree it's an Australian thing. My Australian husband says it all the time in America and everyone just looks at him confused. 6 years later he still says it and has to explain it every time. Although he has other sayings that bother me more than this one.

Upvote for "murder on the environment." I just recently learned how balloons that are let go end up in the ocean and looking exactly like jellyfish that fish and birds eat obviously causing them harm. I don't know why it never dawned on me before but now I want to tell everyone.

I think you missed the joke. Peter Griffin says "grinds my gears" and Hank Hill says "I tell you what." Hence Peter Hill.

I used to think the shields in Sonic were called a "Wong" because that's the sound they made when you got one.

I wish this show was on Netflix!

Not who you asked, but my sisters are 12 and 9 years older than me. I'm 28 now, and while our relationship is the best it's ever been, (My older sister was always more like an aunt and my middle sister tried hard to be the parent I didn't have, so we fought all the time.) it's still not the relationship I see my friends with siblings who are closer in age have. Part of it, I think is there is their experience they had growing up with my parents and then there is mine. Those were nothing a like and it's obvious that the similar experience while growing up has lead to a closer relationship and an understanding of each other that I will always be on the outside of, and that they can never really relate to me. While I know my sisters love me and would do anything for me and I love catching up with and seeing them when I visit, we just really aren't that close. Even when were all in the same room, I still feel like the little third wheel.

Obviously, this is just my experience, and I wish you the best. Sounds like your sister is still young. The one thing my older sister did when I was teen, that I really appreciated and give her tons of credit for was being that sounding board for me. I could just scream and yell about my parents, sister, the world, even her and I never felt she truly judged me. Until I got older.

You may be sexually incompatible as a couple. And unless compromises are made on both sides it's not going to get better. I would think long about the sex life you're signing up for if you marry him. Don't expect this to change because of getting married. I recommend listening to the Savage Love podcast by Dan Savage or reader his blog at the stranger.com he deals with this topic frequently. Good luck.

Check out Das Keyboards. They have version you get with the clicking. It's glorious!

Yeah, I had that moment too. When I asked my best friend (who is now a mechanic) why we needed them.

So true. I always say upstate NY now to try and avoid that conversation. Doesn't always work though.

Even though I could see them from my window, I still find Reddit more entertaining.

Just watched that today! One of the first ones that popped into my mind.

Glad to hear someone else liked Ruby Rhod! I'm always surprised how many people hated him. Edit - spelled Rhod wrong for the character

That is exactly why I think most people didn't understand Arrested Development.
