You know what, I live in Jersey, where the sweet smell of car exhaust and whatever that is burning down in Elizabeth wafts over me daily. I could get nuked by North Korea, killed by a domestic partner...my food has chemicals, my family history is a mess, and a trigger happy man with mental illness is our ‘leader.’ I…

And for god’s sake if you are sick stay home. I sit in my office hearing people hacking away and everyone being so ‘dedicated’ they come in anyway. They were joking about all going to Duane Reede to pick up medicine. And I had two hackers on my train the other day. I know hourly workers don’t get paid, but in my job…

No way. I live right across the river in a town you can get to by a Path Train, which means I live closer to the Met than, say, my sisters wayyy up north. I call foul! I’ll just get by on free nights at the MOMA, so there.

I pack my clothes in one of those huge Ziploc bags. When I get home it all goes into the laundry—dirty stuff wash/dry; clean stuff super-dry. Including the duffel bag I use. I also use Nuvan Strips (I really do not care about the pesticides as I live in New Jersey, so, yeah). I had them in my apt and I got the…

Spoilers here! It’s a minor point, but none of the 4 heroines of THE BEST OF EVERYTHING were virgins by the end of the book. One through marriage and divorce, one tragically getting her 1950s “punishment”, one through deception and yet getting a classice 1950s happy ending, one going off on a very interesting whim....

Chris Christie is an idiot. All you need to do is go to NY or PA or Delaware to get your cigarettes. I don’t smoke, and everyone knows it’s horrible for you. But I if you can go to war, vote, and get married, you can smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em. I also think the drinking age should be 18 just like it was when I was a…

It’s good you got an exterminator. This is a time to forget about being environmentally friendly and nuke those suckers dead. Even if you have to charge the whole damn thing on your Visa and pay it off. Get one that really knows how to kill the little creeps. If you rent, check local laws. In NYC your landlord MUST…

Took the words out of my mouth! I also think it is so ironic that the icon of the recent Republicans, Ronnie Reagan, tore down that other wall or at least loved to take credit for it.

Please media stop normalizing these people. They are dangerous and evil. By all accounts Diana Mitford was charming and witty. Magna Goebbels was lovely and a wonderful hostess. They were both doting wives and mothers. That didn’t make them good people, not by a longshot. And Conway has more overt power. Stop. Just…

Well I’m happily with a man and yet I have friends of decades who might make this touch. It’s not a signal of anything (and this could be a moment’s action). But they are royal and every move is scrutinized. And they live off the country’s $$ so perhaps this wasn’t the best public image moment. But I suspect in the…

Yeah lots of reasons to dislike Rudy but this isn’t one of them. It’s not illegal and it’s not going to mess up your children genetically. Heck, I wouldn’t know my second cousins if I fell over one. It would be like meeting a stranger.

I’ve been in a lot of weddings. I’ve dance to Patsy Cline’s Crazy (for loving you?!). Also: Wind Beneath My Wings. (Endless.) REM’s The One I Love (isn’t this a song about dumping someone?) And I did love Feelin’ Single, Seein’ Double, though I knew that was for a goof.
