I don’t have a mom anymore. She died last Saturday morning after only two days in hospice. Over the past four months we made 7 trips to Houston (14 flights), 7 rental cars, 9 airbnbs...I worked so hard to get her top notch treatment and it just wasn’t enough. If you have a great mom - like I did - call her and tell…

“There’s one undisputed worst Chris”

According to an article in the Wash. Post by Gabrielle Bluestone - “Jane Buckingham, accused of paying someone to take the ACT for her son and then asking for a copy of the exam to administer to him at home so he would think he’d really taken the test.” I actually feel for this kid with a mother like that. 

I’ve been loving Denise... I had to rewatch Drop Dead Gorgeous this weekend

I wanted to post this in the Root, where it belongs, but I got error messages 11 times in a row.

The devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder. She’s pulled out all the PR stops to save their show. 

Oh wow that is crazy!

Wow - $27,000 a year for one child in daycare (I assume that’s full

Yup. The big one ain’t cheap, but the little one is what ratcheted the bill up so high. (Good thing we love him anyway, and thank god he wasn’t twins.)

According to Edgington, an employee with corporate human resources told her to “run back and forth every couple of minutes to pump in between customers,”

and understands the system well enough to figure out how to change it.

“I just wish we could discuss him like any other candidate. Because he is any other candidate. He has strengths and weaknesses. He’s a politician, not a guru.”

I get worried when legitimate complaints of Bernie get handwaved away as: “Well you don’t have to like him to support him”. It reeks of the same double-standard Trump supporters use. With the field that exists today, we don’t need to hitch up to this wagon again.

It’s amazing that his positions galvanized a new generation of activism and have pushed the Democratic field to the left. He is demanding many things that we sorely need. I also agree that responsible adults must compartmentalize to some degree when it comes to political candidates - you won’t like EVERYTHING about…

We did. Wall to wall. Honestly, the kid part wasn’t as big a problem as the fact that we lived in a rural area (the carpet went all the way to the patio off my parents bedroom) and our cat who threw up every meal she was given. This was something she’d done since before we got the carpets and her food must have use…

Two years ago at my mother's house she bought grape juice and put a note on it, "This does NOT go anywhere near the carpet!" I was 3o.

Well what did she expect? Tempt the gods and you get BBQ sauce everywhere!

You were just a kid. That’s what throw rugs are for! I’m sorry you are still feeling this.

What I love about this story is the “shame spot” typo. 

Most chaotic was when I was 8. Leaving a Super Bowl party with my dad and 4-year-old sister when my dad hops the curb in his pickup, careens off a telephone pole and into a fire hydrant. This was the ‘80s, so none of us were wearing seat belts, but luckily we didn’t hit the pole head-on and were only going 25-30 MPH,…
