I love the takedown of Brooks, but holy shit, that photo up top deserves every award possible.

Huckabee is against gay boy scouts but is cool with boy scouts who torture and kill animals. If I had a kid, I would rather he see the counselors sneaking off to have gay sex, instead of seeing them murdering animals.

I honestly think the 41 presidents who came before Clinton had worse records on gay rights. In that gays had no rights and weren’t even a part of the conversation.

He’s easily the president with the worst record on gay rights

Worth noting here: the individual who identified as a woman their entire life but lived that life as a man and has now come out as transgender, is far and away the most genuine, non-attention-whore individual in the family.

In 2010, my grandmother (mom’s mom) passed away after a sudden and quick fight with brain cancer. Prior to that, she had beaten breast cancer. My grandfather, a ramblin’ man of sorts who hunts and travels most of the year, was very grief stricken. First time in my life I saw him cry was her funeral at the very end of…

When my dad died (quite unexpectedly), right before the funeral my mom told me about how the two of them had met. I mean, I’d heard it before, but not quite as detailed. She talked about seeing him at work, thinking he was cute, etc., and about little (PG) details that led into them dating and then getting serious.…

I think another weird thing that happens after a parent/grandparent dies is that you see how other people treat them in the dating pool. My grandmother died, fairly young (mid 60s) and my grandpa was HOT SHIT on the dating scene apparently. He wasn’t ready to date for a while, but in the interim he had to rebuff SO…

When my mom died, dad was a recluse for two years, then came out in full force; yoga teachers, real estate agents, dental hygienists, and 23-year olds.

Nice work, Tara Jacoby.

Make your home welcoming to visitors.

I don't have much to contribute other than to say this was really well written and I enjoyed reading it. You must be so brave to look that kind of fear in its eye and keep going. Thanks for sharing!

I bow to peer pressure easily.

Bowling for Concubine

If you are buying a salad you want to get the items you like and probably the item that have the nutrition. I am not going to exclude eggs just because I can get them cheaper by buying them in the carton and cooking them myself. That is the point of eating away from hone. if you can find something that sells for less…

I'd love to live in a town called "Almost Anywhere in Kansas."

Kara, I think you need an LA spin-off of Caity and Rich's NYC series, where instead of touristy spots, you go to celebrity-owned restaurants.

That pizza looks really burnt, except for the vegetables, which look a little raw.

No thank you please

As someone who, for reasons I don't understand, can't stand cheeseburgers and has to verify "without cheese" at every single restaurant, the greatest moment of my life was when we went to a kosher restaurant near my friend's apartment, and I start explaining to the guy that I want a burger with NO cheese, like I…
