Baby crying while the five-year-old kid bangs on the floor (walls?) for no apparent reason. Just a typical night in the apartment of The Worst Neighbor Ever. So VERY glad she chose to have another kid. Because when you freely tell people “This kid was the biggest mistake of my life” in front of said kid, the obvious next step in life is to have a second one.

Dear Tourist Guy:
Look. I understood what you said. “Museo” is a pretty easy word to translate even if I didn’t have 4 years of Spanish under my belt. But how exactly were we supposed to communicate beyond that? What museum? There are at least four museums near Midtown (that I can think of off the top of my head), and I do not know how to (correctly) say “Museum of Modern...

RUNNERS: How do we feel about NYRR and their 9+1...
So, I’ve started training again and have set “running in the NYC/ING marathon” as a goal for myself in 2014. Why 2014? Well…
The NY Road Runners 9+1 rule: run nine qualifying, scored races with them AND volunteer once or donate $1000 during the calendar year, and you’ll qualify to run in the following calendar year’s ING. I missed the 2012 deadline, and I...

"Your Sugar Addiction is Killing You"
theatlantic:
Your Sugar Addiction is Killing You
Substances of abuse used to be the subject of much hand-wringing. It started with opium dens, moved to speakeasies, then to crack houses, then to “smoking permitted” anterooms. Since Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No,” the war on drugs has taken a back seat, but not because it has been won. Rather, because a different war has cluttered the headlines —...

I just watched an infomercial for a microwave-safe metal-like plate that basically turns your microwave into a toaster oven. Or, ya know, you could avoid the cancer AND USE THE DAMN TOASTER OVEN.

27 Rules for Conquering the Gym!
fierce-fit-fabulous:
1. A gym is not designed to make you feel instantly better about yourself. If a gym wanted to make you feel instantly better about yourself, it would be a bar.
2. Give yourself a goal. Maybe you want to lose 10 pounds. Maybe you want to quarterback the New York Jets into the playoffs. But be warned: Losing 10 pounds is hard.
