Just a reminder: your insurance plan very, very likely covers adult MMR boosters totally free (thanks, Obama!).

I did not think he was shaming the people who had to sue, but was shaming the companies.

Very true. Pathologizing all mental health challenges is not necessarily helpful in many situations, and because standards can change and our understanding of what constitutes “Major Depressive Disorder” versus non-”Major Depressive Disorder” is imprecise, it’s not always that helpful.

Well, in their defense, lacking the motivation to get help is the problem they need help with. While I certainly understand your frustration (and I certainly wouldn’t suggest it’s solely your responsibility to keep trying to persuade someone who can’t be persuaded), what you’re describing is exactly the symptoms of…

Not sure I understand your hostility. Problems generally have many possible solutions, and it’s nice to know multiple approaches. Why are you getting upset at the notion of there being more than one way to deal with a dining asshole?

They weren’t bad, just... overexcite-able maybe? It helped that it was a Rainforest Cafe, so they were SUPER looking forward to going there and then forced to leave because they weren’t listening. But I figure it was the fact that I followed through with a threat that forced them to realize they should probably listen…

“Face anus” was the term I was referring to, but man, she had a ton of good ones.

Colin told us that we’d have a story with great monikers in it this week. This did not disappoint.

I have a mom like that. There’s no reasoning with the unreasonable and utterly delusional, because the person could turn on you forever for one ill-timed, well-intentioned intervention. Choices have to be made. I feel for Cliff and admire his resourcefulness. It feels shitty to be underhanded, but that’s a far better…

I call ahead to the restaurant and tell them she’s had a stroke which has changed her personality

Part of me really wanted Momager to actually smack Psycho Santa with the pizza pan.

Okay, as someone with a high breast cancer risk: fuck these people with the business end of a dirty grill brush.

On the weekends I turn on music from the Disney Parks and do home improvement projects using the same design elements used in the resorts. When I walk into my master bathroom now, I feel like I’m in a hotel room.

I fall under all of these headings, in the UK, but replace gun with iPad Air when walking through the city between meetings. Replace the iPad Air with a jotter and pen when it's raining. Oh oh, replace the jotter and pen with my lunch on the way back to the office when it's windy and cold, and I've just waddled out of…

While all of the information above is accurate, it's basically only useful for spotting people who are either uncomfortable with a weapon or who are carrying it improperly. Most quality holsters that are designed to be concealed are very difficult to spot, and the people using them are used to carrying, and won't…
