I thought the point was that she did know that, but before the wedding she focused on the great things she knew about because of all the anticipation and excitement, and then after the wedding she focused on all the crappy things. Read more

Thank you for suffering for our sake. You're definitely getting into whatever version of heaven you believe in. Read more

I'll just buy a bunch of gummy bears and soak them in vodka for a few days. It's like a Flinstones Vitamin for drunks. Read more

Advice coming from a professional(current college student), you can definitely mix vodka in with the boiling water and it will make, both, better jello because you use less water and the resulting jello shots arent watery, and the jello shots are much more boozy. You can also replace some of that lost water with ice… Read more

I usually add some unflavored gelatin in the regular jello. It gives them a little firmer feel. They come out of the molds so much easier and they set in about 45 mins to an hour.

Great job! Your painstaking research will really help me when I make Jell-O shots at my next tailgate or party! Read more

I once made Jell-O shots with Everclear. Had to dilute them with vodka to get them to set. I don't recommend trying this. Read more

Rims down. That's how my Mom does. Besides, it's good to challenge the immune system. Read more

Jolie, you should do a column on cleaning office equipment and households with disease prevention in mind. Between Ebola, that enterovirus afflicting a lot of kids, and this being the start of flu season, it's a timely topic. Maybe even a lesson on hand washing, which I've seen is a rediscovered art every fall. Read more

I can't tell you how shocked I am that burneko had stong opinions and took over the whole damn conversation Read more

I am from Texas and yes we always go 'rim down.' It's one of those things we do just because thats what my mom did. At some point in my life I was told that it was left over from the dust bowl because leaky (leakey??) houses would fill your cups with dust and you would have to clean them again. We also use cabinet… Read more

For those that argue that the air is dirtier/dustier than the shelf, do you not believe that the same dirt/dust accumulates on the shelf? Where do you think the dirt/dust goes after circulating through the cabinet? Does it disappear like the Cubs hopes after Gonzalez's error? (sorry, just finished reading that… Read more

I am astonished at how much thought I have put into this without realizing it until now:

- In my apartment everything is right side up because my cabinets are glass front, and the glasses are on display. Also, I find it more inviting - the glasses are looking right at me, suggesting any number of beverages could be… Read more

You forgot alternating... since they fit more snug, and in certain cases can fit more on a shelf. Read more

I store coffee mugs and glassware that isn't stemware upside down; the glassware gets stacked, even, because I don't have much cabinet space. I also store bowls upside down because I can stack them and with a little finagling, just get out one bowl rather than having to pull down the entire pile. And if something… Read more

Up/down/up/down. Saves space in the cupboard due to greater packing efficiency. For glasses that are a weird shape...up. Read more

to wit: never before did I think of my cabinet bases to be scuzzy or a health hazard. Huh. This thought cannot be undone and now i must clean my cabinets. Read more
