There are obvious milestones of joy in our lives, like the birth of a child, marriage, etc. And then there are snapshots, like when I look down at my daughter cooing on my chest and tell myself “please let me remember this exact moment when I’m on my death bed.”

I still compulsively think “Double rainbow! All the way across the sky!” every time I see a double rainbow. 

The only reason this is biting her is because how this dealership operates. As noted in the source article, one of the male employees was on that very same site. All he got was teased. Another male employee also groped another female employee, no mention of a reprimand for him.

Michelle, thank you for your response to my post. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I feel for you deeply. I’m also sorry for giving the impression that I thought you received enough help and for sounding dismissive. I meant nothing of the sort. I was thinking about the amount of help that is accorded to…

Hi, I just wanted to clarify, my mother requires 24-hour supervision as she cannot fend for herself.  That means I literally do not leave my house for any amount of time, no matter how short, because I know from experience that anything can happen in a short amount of time.  So that 45 hours, the time that someone…

As a Hospice nurse and someone who did the same for a loved one, I salute you. I think that the “ew” from some people would disappear quickly if they found themselves in the situation of a loved one needing that kind of assistance.

Interesting that previous posters saw this as a vindication for not having children. Changing my son’s diaper was no big thing and took all of 40 seconds when it was complicated. (And I cloth diapered.) But we all draw our lines in the sand.

I live in the Bay Area and know several people that work at Instacart and similar gig economy/ tech company HQs. These people make INSANE salaries. Middle management well over 6 figures. Their holiday parties are LUXURIOUS. Their stock offerings are NUTS.

Every time this incident came up in the five years after, he swore that he simply followed the directions that I gave him to cook a steak on the stove top (medium high heat, a little oil, how many minutes per side for a sirloin, etc).

I have absolutely no idea. He wanted to make a steak but had only cooked one on a grill, so I told him how to cook a steak in a pan—a little oil, medium high heat, sear, how many minutes for the type of steak yada yada yada.

Honorable mention to my late husband, who did this to one of my pans while I was at work one day:

Disclaimer: this was when I was about 8, but I started cooking fairly independently around 3 or 4 and have enjoyed cooking my entire life. This is also the disaster that is still brought up regularly almost 35 years later.

I would be happy to contribute — even if my contribution was made necessary by governmental callousness and ineptitude! — if it weren’t for the fact that the general consensus on homemade masks seems to be “we don’t think they actually accomplish much, we don’t have a lot of real scientific data to go on, and they…

That’s a very good call on Miguel! Truly an unsung hero of this series.

Well, I don’t think Miguel is overbearing, so Rebecca dodged that bullet with her second marriage.

My parents grew up during the Great Depression. Their descriptions of their parents and their childhoods and the lasting effect it had on them sounds very much akin to yours, Joan.

In 1939, the Army Air Corps had a total inventory of 1,700 planes.

Salute to Ms. Walter and all the Rosies. You done your country proud.

Remember when Patty Jenkins was Thor 2's director and was replaced with Alan Taylor? And Portman was pissed and started to get the “difficult” label way back in early 2010s because she was promised a woman as director, which was why she agreed to do Marvel, and then the “Jane” character disappears under Taika? So…

“You did something about a complex, huge problem, but it didn’t fix the entire problem, so the thing you did is WORSE than doing nothing at all!!!”
