Same, my mom’s just a decade younger than yours but she had a lot of Depression-era stuff instilled in her from her mother + they moved around endlessly + poor skills so she just has to hang onto everything no matter what. She’s financially comfortable since... oh I’d say her 30s, but that means nothing. If she gets…

So no one else is thinking of the whole woman-in-comfortable-shoes phrase? Just me? Okay.

That said, I hope she learned her lesson that shoes dress code is NOT to be fucked with in the real world, damnit. Civilization will totally fucking unravel! St Peter might even deny her entrance into Heaven. You will never get…

I had a good amount of decluttering already done before I got her book. The ideas in it, in particular looking at my items as “what is necessary”, “lay all clothes on the bed and go through them” and “what brings me joy” helped me just cut the crap of “but what if I need it in 20 years?!”

If I need it in 20 years, I…

You actually won. He had to split assets and you had to deal with a spitting ass? :D I actually begrudgingly like Ron White. He’s exactly what he says he is and at least you know that upfront. :P

One of my exes, upon hearing of my engagement, confronted me at work and outcried a tantruming baby because I was his first everything and he thought that meant I was his forever. He then tried to pry the ring off my finger and as security took him away, he kept saying I would regret it.

I didn’t wind up marrying the…

I’ve noticed a pretty high number of dudes who are separated/divorced who are stepping back into the dating/hook-up world confused by this thing called safe sex. It’s like 20 years of marriage erased all their old knowledge about STIs and pregnancy. It is baffling to me because I have ALSO noticed an uptick in my…

I need that dress. I get that I can’t afford that dress but I need that dress.

Actually, I’m down with handing out a shirt like that to every survivor. Sequins and glitter and all that included.

It seems extremely unlikely that no one took a stand but where are the passengers or crew on the flight speaking up saying they thought what was said was wrong and they stepped in? Curious amount of silence for the rows of people who could/would have overheard the issue at hand.

I already read that book, it’s called every book about sociopaths and abusive relationships, ever.

There’s a huge lack of half-Asian actors out there, man. They, like, HAD, to put Emma Stone in that role.

No, no, they didn’t. I’m tired of casting letting us down as a movie-going public. My only solace is that all the other actors who would have been appropriate for the role turned it down because the film looked…

Yeah, because people are typically conflict avoiders in situations like that. They think someone else will step in. They trust ultimately that the FAs and a hidden Sky Marshal will keep things copacetic. I’ve seen it before. It’s my own experience. You may have had other experiences that lead you to believe…

OMG. When you love the skin you’re in. <3 It totally shows. <3

I believe her version of events. I’ve seen some hinky stuff on my flights on various airlines post-9/11 but it’s mostly passenger-racism/aggression. I think it’s fucked up that she had to deal with that and that United should reach out and offer her a free ticket for her next flight in First Class.

I’m blown away by…

WHAT THE FUCK.

Because just saying “keep your noises down after 10pm” isn’t informative enough, they had to get all race specific like one race is louder than others? SERIOUSLY?

The company is outraged at the content? Imagine how the fucking residents of your buildings feel! I hope they walk away in droves if they are…

Yep, tears of joy for these guys. <3

You know that feeling of safety and comfort you get from a fresh, warm blanket out of the dryer? I want a big enough blanket for the victims and the rest of us to hide under. Eeesh, it just keeps getting worse and worse with this story. :-/

I would show you my mother’s library of cookbooks - side note, she specializes in far flung church books and junior leagues all over the South - but I don’t want TLC contacting me to see if she’ll be on Hoarders: Cooked Alive. I wish I was kidding, but I have had people in line at estate sales ask her about her…

Yeah, but what about that La Chancla though? ;)

Seriously, I would still hit that hot mess Candyman. <3

Do you have a good caramel cake recipe you’d be willing to share with a gal who remembers one from her childhood but has been unable to replicate the soft, sweet dense frosting and the crumby crumb of cake? :D
