We have three daughters, and a great conversation starter for when they walked in the door from school was to ask them what their favorite thing was that had happened to them that day. Asking how their day went was asking for them to be more likely to bring up the things they didn't like, accentuating the negative. I preferred to have them focus on the good things, and it truly made their conversations much more full, complete, and wide-ranging.

It's very challenge to listen to a guest who says "like" 10 times per every sentence.

Listening to this was enlightening. I wouldn't have thought about liquids being heavy. I'll have to look for a shampoo bar instead of liquid shampoo

I love Aubrey and Maintenence Phase. Once you realize how deeply anti fat or society is, you see it *everywhere*. movies, TV, books, magazines, etc.

Loved this episode so much when it first aired that I bought Oliver Burkeman's book, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. It's an excellent read and I highly recommend it.

Like sorry but uninviting a sibling/family from the wedding because they bring a child and a plus one is just rude.

So you should rename this podcast, "Life help or immature Valley girls"

Finally... something worthwhile for people's material lives out of NPR instead of the sameold platitudes for the everyday consumerism of the American brunch-class.
