Why is this a thread?

^^ I’ll drink an ouzo in support of @DrGoogle 's retirement.

Had some locally made wine and a chunk of imported from Greece (!) feta, both obtained from Costco, so I feel good about supporting both economies. :wink:

Favorite and least favorite kinds of cake?

Favorite: Chocolate/chocolate and carrot cake
Least favorite: Red Velvet

I’m catching up on the latest season of Orange is the New Black and this cracked me up as it pretty much sums up my thoughts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWH7stxmI_8 I’ve tried a few versions include making my own. Realized they all pretty much suck.

Chocolate cake with vanilla frosting - my favorite since I was 8 years old!

The newest perk: breast milk delivery for lactating IBM mothers away from home on business.

The article notes that Apple and Facebook pay for freezing eggs.

What benefits would you like to see your company offer?

Worst:
Any sheet cake from a supermarket bakery… A pile of cardboard decorated with sweetened lard is not very appealing.

(Trying hard to derail the middle age weight gain thread :wink: )

@Bunsenburner, don’t think of it as lard but as Manteca. It always sounds better spoken in Spanish.

I’ve spent the last 10 years of my child’s life preparing him for the current version of the SAT. If he takes the current SAT as a 5th grader before it changes, will colleges hold this against him?

Do you eat the phloem or remove it from the banana?

Was slavery the primary cause of the Civil War?

The right answer is a simple “Yes.” However, on cc: this can be discussed forever.

My child got a score of 2400 on the SAT. However, she did have two wrong answers in the Critical Reading section. Should she retake it?

I just wait till the banana gets ultra-ripe, and it all emulsifies to phlegm.

^^Banana bread!

What size are my large suitcases? I went to Macy’s today to buy a new one, and they had a choice of 25" or 29" in most brands. I am pretty sure that the 29" ones are larger than what I have now. But they make the 25" ones look small.

I know that Pizzagirl can travel around the world for a month with a 20" roll-on, but I am not looking for responses that suggest smaller suitcases.

Please reply before Macy’s closes this evening! Thx!

Which is worse: Someone who has been unfaithful his entire marriage, or a serial rapist?

Uh-oh, grab your Birkin while it is still a Birkin!!

Does Jane Birkin wear a birkini to the beach?

Can I bring my Squatty Potty with me when I travel?

*Sit, Align, Eliminate!

OMG! But they actually are correct about our modern toilets…

Holy cow. This is better than the banana slicer.

No, on second thought, I like the banana slicer better.
