I had a LTR that turned into a marriage. The rehearsal dinner was also a chance for my family to meet my in-laws. Luckily, I either come from a reasonably sane family or they keep the crazy in check, because no punches were thrown.

My fave is in the little town where I grew up. A man had two wives and outlived both. One stone had a beautiful hand with finger pointing upwards, wreathed in flowers. The other had a hand with finger pointing down, wrapped in chains. That’s some cold right there.

Obscure? I’m sad now. That movie is lovely and wrenching.

Agreed on all points. Years back, my rule was this: if your boss told his employees to go purchase and read “Who Moved My Cheese”, it was time to clean up your resume and jump ship. Then it was “six sigma”, then it was Agile (neither of which they had the slightest grasp of). I’m not sure what today’s equivalent…

This comment did not improve with your repetition of it. I will fight the proliferation of charter schools and vouchers for religious education because these are MY TAX DOLLARS and they should not be lining the pockets of charter school scammers or evangelists.

Any time you pass a highway beautification section that is truly lovely and alive with flowers, wild or otherwise, say a thank you to Ladybird Johnson.

See above: my senator received $98,300 from the DeVos family in contributions. I will personally take back every vile thing I’ve called Rubio if he votes her down. I think I can easily make that commitment and not have to pay up.....

I’m sensing that my email to fucking Rubio to vote her down was wasted.

For various reasons charter schools are ostensibly open to everyone but in reality tend to be practically limited by parental involvement and basic logistics like transportation.

I have to. I have listened to Slacker more lately than I have in two years. I have to take a break. Then I listened to this guy on NPR this morning saying that folks on the left can be a little high-handed and look down their noses at conservatives, and I said, “yes, that can be true, I should watch that about…

We are in hell. I keep expecting Jessica Lange to walk in and moan, “knotty pine??!!”.

Okay Congress, you let him denigrate your comrades. You watched him mock a disabled person. You turned a blind eye when he disrespected a gold star family. But you actually care about US soldiers, right? I mean, that’s what all the Benghazi uproar was about, right?? So you’re going to say something now, right?

Dan Smith??

Then you can appreciate that I’ve introduced my son to this movie, and the glories of John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and the late great Ray Charles. This movie is of the Flah canon.

Calling for unity and healing after calling the women’s march ridiculous? Yeah, he’s still an idiot douche with a mic.

No honey, he’s a money changer. LITERALLY (besides that weird fig tree episode) the only thing jesus showed violence toward.

Best advice I ever got for endurance work: Drink. Pee. No IV.

I’m not sure why that comment doesn’t have all the stars.... brilliant!

Nahhh, fair’s fair. That outfit is lovely, she looks good, IF she manages to crack a smile. Although it looks like her face has been pulled tight and if she smiles the staples will fly out.
