I was just thinking about how in the early 2000s the term "muffin top" was thrown around all the time to shame people's bellies, and sometimes in self-shaming, and I know the world isn't perfect, but I'm so happy I never heard that stupid term any more
@jilleduffy I very, very rarely go to bed angry at my spouse, but my experience going to bed angry at anyone or anything has generally been “Go to bed angry, wake up wondering what the hell the big deal was.”
@jilleduffy I had an ex who used the “don’t go to bed angry” thing to manipulate me into resolving arguments that should have been a breakup. You give in because of tiredness.

My superpower used to be that I could sleep 8 or 9 hours without interruption, almost every single night.

Now that I am in midlife, my superpower really is that I can have a glass of wine, not crave a second glass, and still sleep 8 to 9 hours without interruption

Some people say that in a relationship, you should never go to bed angry.

You know what I say? GO TO BED! Sleep! No one is in a position to work out a problem when they're tired.

Why call the children of my siblings, "nibblings?"

Clearly it should "chibblings"

The last time I was in the U.S., I took a train from Buffalo to Syracuse and a bus from Ithaca to New York. Both journeys were smooth, inexpensive, quiet, and I only had to show up about 20 minutes before departing.
Americans' distaste for bus travel is truly classist, and I hate it and will do everything in my power to turn it around

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone, especially Americans, that you can travel by train, bus, or ferry. And there are a couple of good apps that help you find routes, times, and prices

Skip the TSA Line: Where to Find Travel by Bus, Train, and Boat

These apps and websites find bus, train, and ferry tickets when you want more options than flying to your destination.
