Baby Foot, Sweet Baby Foot: A Review
Okay. I think I’m finally ready to talk about my EXTREMELY enjoyable experience with Baby Foot (which I shall henceforth abbreviate as BF periodically throughout this post). I will admit that the process has been truly horrifying at times, even for me, which I thought was impossible (I’ve literally attended a live autopsy and I…

Baby Foot Update: It’s Arriving Today!
Ok, I have something to confess. I had originally bought a knock-off version of Baby Foot due to poor impulse control and having done inadequate research. Then I checked the 1-star reviews for the product I’d already ordered (and written about on here)…and I found some pretty troubling information. Two of the 1-star reviews of…

I’m Finally Going to Melt the Skin Off My Feet
I finally bit the bullet and bought Baby Foot (actually, a Baby Foot knock-off), and I can’t freakin’ WAIT to use it. Here’s a link to the original Baby Foot.

I Think I Accidentally Bought Poison on Amazon
Rubbing alcohol has always been one of my favorite household items. You can use it for most small sterilization tasks, like sterilizing your tweezers after a rousing session of what some might call ‘a bout of self mutilation’ but I would call ‘me time.’ I never knew just HOW important rubbing alcohol was to me…

My X-Treme Dip Powder Nail Fail

I’ve tried everything to stop; that bitter-tasting nail polish that’s supposed to deter you from mindlessly gnawing on your hands? I developed a taste…

GTFO This Elevator, Ma’am
I’ve got a little problem on my hands, and I’m hoping one of you will be able to help me out with it. We live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan above 100th Street. Our building feels like a true community. That’s hard to find here in NYC, and we’re lucky to have it.…

Not Cool Beans
As the lockdown here in NYC stretches on and provisions grow thin, I’ve been thinking a lot about what matters most to me. No, it’s not family, or my health, or the fact that I live in a city where people play trumpets every night at 7pm to thank our front-line workers during this pandemic.…

Things I’ve Bought Online During the COVID-19 Outbreak w/ Reviews: Part 2
March 22nd, Amazon: Mild Cleansing Pleasant Scent Lotion Soap – 1 Gallon One would think that if a product says that it’s 1 gallon, it would be 1 gallon. 1 gallon seemed like a reasonable amount of soap to buy. This is the kind of moisturizing pink soap that you often find in the soap…

Things I’ve Bought Online During the COVID-19 Outbreak w/ Reviews: Part 1
The buying really started in earnest on March 10th, when I realized that if I didn’t buy enough toilet paper and paper towel to tide us over for the next few months, we’d run out too quickly and I would FULLY decompensate. March 10th, Amazon: Bounty Quick-Size Paper Towels, 16 family rolls Review: 5 stars,…
