I watched some of the speeches. Every single person shared at least one story (often many stories) about how Rene was incredibly kind and respectful to every single person he encountered, and would always make them feel special, including waiters, busboys, and fans.

One time my shrink talked into going to group therapy. I was skeptical, but after a few weeks, it seemed like it was going ok. Then, one day, in the middle of a session, the assistant/training therapist caaaasually whips out the e-cig and starts vaping like it was no big thing, all while someone’s spilling their guts,…

Honestly, I tend to forget that sex is a big part of other people’s lives. It just isn’t for me. I go through phases where I wish it were different, but I’m so used to my own routine of celibacy and hobbies and whatnot that it kind of boggles my mind how much time and energy I’d have to allocate in order to make that…

NE-YO!

She’s always been pretty open about their relationship. On some talk show within the last few years she said that after becoming a mother herself, she could see why her own mother was so hesitant of her romantic involvement with Rene, and that she’d have similar concerns about her son being with a much older woman,…

Agreed. She has a great career, a loving family, and has always seemed very secure in herself. I still think the origins are a bit dubious, but ya know, life can be crazy.

Ya know, I used to have the same feelings about older parents, but I don’t anymore, at least not as much. I also think it depends on the family. I am incredibly grateful to have both parents and two grandparents still around (I’m in my late 20s), and if all goes well, my parents should ideally be around another 30-40…

Looks like fun, I suppose. Silly, pretentious fun, maybe, and I would absolutely enjoy some cool performance art or installation at any event, but [PSA!!] I just hope that amid all of the “alternative” planning, they remembered to:

I work at a small company where we work pretty independently in our respective departments. Most people eat at their desk out of convenience, but we often order in food, stop to chat, or run errands during our “official” lunch break. No pressure, but we usually default to eating while working out of habit. Our boss is…

That happens to many of us once we become old enough that creating art purely for fun isn’t something we “should” do anymore. It’s such a shame, too. The opposite is happening to me now...I’ve become good enough at sewing that people constantly tell me I should make it into a business. Um, NO WAY, then it becomes…

I was ready to be all judgy (and I am always rolling my eyes at the Facebook photos of these crappy paintings) but this article has shed a whole new light on it for me, an apparent hippocrate.

That smirk is because she knows she’s the queen of trolling and then making money off the trolling. And off of Christmas, without even needing to be Christmasy. This video is its own explaination. It just is. It is content. It is one surprise of many behind the cardboard window of your Advent calendar, which you don’t…

Celebrities can get paid THOUSANDS for these kinds of things

“Manifest beauty in your life by buying beautiful things with money.”

I’m sorry to hear that. It’s a shame that it’s so hard to see that we all really have the same goals: a happy, purposeful, productive, moral life.

I feel pity for all of them. Sympathy for some family members, but pity all around. They all are products of a broken worldview/philosophy (religious brainwashing) that is so pervasive that it seems normal. They’re so deeply entrenched in it, and it’s so encompassing that they don’t even realize that they’re looking…

My family does the on purpose lip kissing. I don’t have a problem with it, per say, I just would prefer not to participate, so years ago I subtly started going for cheek kisses instead and it was a smooth, seamless transition. No awkward avoidance, no grandparents feel slighted.

Holy shit. I am very happily surprised that these books exist. Of course, there’s that lingering thought of, “SEE, just like we said, treating women like people is better for everyone, even for casual sex. You didn’t think of the long game, bro!” and “how many women did you have to psychologically manipulate to reach…

I’d like to see more matrilineal naming. I mean, why not? Couldn’t it be a tradition in some families, especially to highlight significant or meaningful lineage? I know a woman who kept her surname while her husband kept his name. When the son was born, he got the mom’s surname, no hyphens or anything. Her surname is…

Keep telling them, every day, even when you’re angry with each other. End each day with a peaceful “goodnight,” especially after a fight. Take the opportunity to reconnect, teach them how to handle disagreement with those you love, and remind them that even when they make mistakes or bad decisions, your love for them…
