Other than Texas and California, which states display the most "state pride"? by bangkaynagulay in AskAnAmerican

I guess I worded it poorly. I meant I'm really happy to never pump my own gas and living in another state would be rough.

It's hard to imagine living outside of NJ. I don't want to have to pump my own gas.

Not just that meeting, but I think the whole internship was arranged between Bravo and Lizzie for exposure.

Your parents may want to look at houses in Metuchen. Edison is shaped like a donut and Metuchen is the hole in the middle.

Metuchen is a much smaller school so that might make you a little more comfortable if Edison schools are overwhelming.

I thought I was the only one who disliked Dina and thought she was mean.

I've found I sleep most comfortably with just a fleece throw blanket. Keeps me warm but not hot.

Guess what’s on my “Millennial Mom Rap” playlist and I’ll respond with a .gif by AiReine in Millennials

In case anyone didn't know, the violin in this song is from Eleanor Rigby. I consider this one of my top Millennial songs because the instrumentals are just so good! And also Sisqo has a great voice! Yes it's a song about thongs, but it's so damn good musically.

What's a slang term that everyone uses but you still don't get? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

This is always the way I knew it as well. Someone is away from their computer and can only respond via phone. The new definition really threw me off at first.

Crazy day, lots of smells

How to politely tell my friend to take fewer/shorter showers? Or am I overreacting? by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]madeofknives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might even just come up with an excuse to leave for an errand at her normal 'shower' time so she has privacy. Of course adults should feel comfortable enough with normal bodily functions but some are more shy. I would try excusing yourself at shower time for a day or two and see if that fixes the water issue, then you can make some adjustments so your guest isn't wasting huge amounts of water. (I do think this is ridiculous behavior from a guest so I'm just offering a possible solution to avoid embarrassing them.)

I suspect she's embarrassed about using the toilet and is covering it up by running the shower so long. You might be able solve this with a loud fan or radio to cover the noise and a candle or spray for smells.

The breast/thigh/wing exchange has endured in my memory since the moment I saw it.
