Can someone please tell me what the header picture is supposed to be? I get the earbuds but I’ve been staring at it forever and I can’t figure it out.

Deen sounds exactly like Jian Ghomeshi.

My boyfriend and I lived paycheck to paycheck for two decades together. We didn’t make much, we didn’t spend much, we were super happy. Several years ago half my immediate family died suddenly. They left me *everything* - houses, cars, jewelry, property accounts/funds/bonds/stocks - and I was kicked into the 1%…

That’s a really good idea, thank you.

My gramps was also a WWII vet and Korean War POW. We weren’t close (I’m mixed race and his family doesn’t fly like that) but I still ended up with his Nazi trophies because every other relative was dead and I was the one taking care of his estate.

There’s a dagger with a swastika on it, arm bands and some pins. I had…

Mark, congrats!! You have said before how much you wanted to get married and when I saw you quoted in an article over the weekend, I have been waiting for this post. Congrats again on having courage and happiness!

Few things...
1) Why have you seen this photo a 1,000 times? LOL
2) I can see why you would be distracted with all socially well-adjusted man meat on display.
3) I’ll be some of those ‘guns’ are Duck Hunt controllers. XD

Are those Guitar Hero guitars? Like he’s lording over video game controllers?

I’m so sorry your aunt blamed you. That should not have happened and undoubtedly lead to a rocky healing after his death. He sounds like a wonderful guy and he lives on in your heart, deeds and memories.

I learned to swim at a young age and they taught us that treading water uses a tremendous amount of energy and isn’t ideal in any ‘survival’ situation. They taught us something called the Dead Man’s Float (lol great branding) which is basically filling your lungs with air, leaving your lower half pointed down in the…

I just assumed Chelsea was mentally ill or suffering some kind of breakdown. I understand why Rosie would want to disclose the was mentally ill - it would hopefully make people treat her with compassion instead of seeing her erratic behavior as a threat. However it does have the side-effect of officially confirming…

It’s got that thick taste of cheap schnapps flavored with cinnamon gasoline.

He’s single now too, isn’t he? God, I hope she’s not trying to get back together with him. Charlize Theron dodged a bullet.

And those teenage girls who voluntarily go to be ISIS brides... I’m an atheist but sometimes I pray for them.

That article was one of the hardest things I’ve ever read. I was crying on my morning commute and my whole day was broken.

I agree with you. Misfits can thrive in a lot of industries. Music for example - not just performers, but managers, sound engineers, promoters, agents, equipment managers, etc. Large swaths of the entertainment, fashion and art industry work the same way. No one cares about ink impacting your job. Tech and graphic…

That rings true. I had no relationship with my dad’s side of the family because they were racist and I’m mixed race. My brother and I didn’t find out the truth till much later in life, but neither of us suffered because of it as kids. It was explained away by the distance we lived from them, and we had very loving…

I think that is the correct etiquette - the guests ask you verbally or get the info from family members. I think it’s only tacky when you put the registry info with the invite and/or spam your social media accounts with gift nagging.

Do they not understand that parents have extra demands on their time and money then a couple who has an empty nest? You are in the right, they are in the wrong, but sadly this is a situation where everyone gets hurt.

I hope in this day and age an email or text or verbal thank you is enough. I’m fine with all of them. I just really need to know that you got the gift - thanks Target for screwing up enough orders to make me really paranoid about it. If you want to thank me for my attendance that’s fine, but these flowery effusive…
