How long have I been missing this Greater New York section of the Wall Street Journal?!! It’s great.
UPDATE: Apparently it just started yesterday, so I haven’t missed a thing.

This reminds me of a very true quote from Mahnaz that I recently heard about: “If Adrienne can do it, I can do it. She’s been afraid of everything for her entire life.”

THANKS, ANDREW!
The fabulous Mr. Blossom just helped to whip my HTML back into shape after I’d reached a tall brick wall. Thank you, thank you.
Now things with my sidebar look a lot better if you choose to look from an iPhone!

“I said to meet me at “Toast”. Not “other Toast.”
– LN, trying to meet up with a date who went to the 109th Toast, because she didn’t even know about the real one
Good thing they were meeting up for him to dump her. (This may sound harsh, but the 125th street Toast is very near and dear. It’s a dealbreaker.)

Why I No Longer Track Every Penny I Spend... →
Last summer, I noticed that my discipline seemed to be lacking. Instead of logging my spending every week, I’d often go two or >gasp!< three weeks without using Quicken. At first, this made me fret. “Something’s wrong with me,” I’d think. “If I don’t track my spending, I’ll lose control.”
You know what? I didn’t lose control. Even if I went an entire month without entering my info...

Bike baskets!
lovepuppy:
I adore cute bike baskets, and am able to avoid wanting to buy one because (a) they look silly on fold-up bikes, and (b) they make the already difficult process of locking up your bike more complicated. You’d have to either take it off every time and carry it around with you, or come up with a complicated way to keep it from being stolen. This particular one doesn’t...
