My older son has some OT issues so it’s certainly the case for him but he also has an OT at school who has worked with him on special grips, etc.

My younger son was in daycare where he spent hours and hours of every day coloring with chalk and crayons and learning how to write his name. He enjoys coloring and drawing…

Oh yeah! I forgot about him! I think I blocked it. So yes, Brendan Frasier would have been better than George Clooney.

Somewhere in an alternate universe Brendan Frasier is with Jennifer Garner and Chris O’Donnell is with Matt Damon’s career.

I agree. He could have made a decent Batman though. Certainly no worse than Val Kilmer.

This was big when I was graduating from college and I remember dancing to Ray of Light at bars. And I remember thinking Madonna was so old. So very old and mommish but still kind of cool. And now I am older than she was then.

I also enjoyed the piece. I thought the author was trying to capture “Why didn’t Brendan end up with a larger career?” and it was a million different reasons: injuries, family issues, sexual harassment, low-self esteem made worse by harassment. I mean, sure he’s got a pretty steady IMDB page but there are a lot of bit…

The whole “I take their money so I can influence them” thing is so non-sensical. I used to work at a non-profit that took large donations from a less than popular sponsor and that was our PR talking point on that. A D.C. area PR consultant helped the organization come up with it. “They give us money so we can…

Oh thanks! I drank Bustelo years ago - I don’t know why I didn’t think of it for cold brew. But yes, I’ve discovered the same thing about the beans for cold brew. And my cold brew “recipe” involves cinnamon and a small amount of brown sugar for sweetness so a cheaper bean isn’t a big deal.

I also drink folgers. I started buying it for cold brew because my cold brew pitcher requires so much coffee and buying expensive coffee is a PITA and honestly, I also like the fact that theirs comes in plastic resealable containers rather than a bag.

But then I also buy Aldi’s k-cups for my daily hot coffee because…

This class I’m taking is a very laid back one for older people who have never taken but even with that she told me “A leotard and tights are preferred but you can also do running leggings a sports bra and tight fitting shirt.”

Yep - I call them “lazy pants” and I use them for sitting on my couch.

Additionally - in things like yoga, you need to see the body better to make sure you’re doing the positions well. I’m taking an adult beginner ballet class and the instructor told us to wear leotards or tight workout pants because she needs to see how our body looks in the positions. Is the knee extending more than it…

Good lord. Yes. The homework is like “Use the turtle head method” and I’m like “WTF is the turtle head method” and I’m having to watch YouTube videos while my son is like “Do you know what the answer is?” and I’m like “No, this makes no sense. What is the turtle’s neck? Why is this . .. Ok, just do it the way I…

If you google the house, it is clearly labeled “Murder House” in a number of articles mentioning the show from 2014. I mean, hell, zillow had it as “house of the week” in 2014 calling it the Murder House.

I was just thinking of this! And what is it about Batman movies that inspire this sort of crazy stalking and public campaigning? It’s not like a Batman movie ever saved anyone’s career.

That’s my thing - show some remorse! Apologize. But to be completely shitty about this whole thing, learn nothing and yet still have the same career as you did before this? UGH!

Closing Time makes me laugh every time.

Yes, from what I observed they sit vacant for years and years and years and then either another big store comes in and uses it until they close or a developer comes in and wants to do something new and then the city councils get involved because “We can’t build apartments there, it’s zoned for retail!” - near my house…

And people are kind of terrible at saying something in situations like that. Just recently I was in a group chat with a number of friends. One girl said something absolutely terrible to me about my going through a divorce. Granted, this is not racially motivated or sexism - but it was someone saying a shitty thing in…

This is a good point. I would like to see others who have not been dicks get opportunities. It kind of goes to the whole “what is punishment for” debate - do we want people to be redeemed and then become productive members of society when they do something bad or are you out of everything once you make a mistake. I’d…
