Hi Megan - just to clarify - LL Bean’s CEO is not a Trump supporter. Linda Bean, one of their board members is. She is a member of the Bean family (as are all 10 of the board members and the 50 other shareholders), but has been repudiated by LL Bean and most of the family for years. (Why is she still on the board?…

But the song could still work...shorttttfingers... :)

You know I actually watched a ridiculous program about Candy moving (and OMG her taste is so incredibly bad) but the gift wrap room (which was shown) was described as mostly for wrapping presents for her husband’s production company staff. So it wasn’t as completely ridiculous as having a gift wrap room just for…

I really shouldn’t rag on people about it since I was all, wait it involves movement? Outside? Nah.

You’re asking them to care about something more than once every four years? To build a party from the ground up by getting third party people elected at local and state levels before trying to go federal. That’s an awful lot of commitment you’re asking for from people who probably played Pokemon Go for like 2 weeks…

Why am I so excited about this? Rewatching the show I realized how horrible everyone is(except Babette and Miss Patty). And yet I still watch. Some kind of Stockholm Syndrome?

When this trial happened NOVA did a program called “Holocaust on Trial” that looked at the scientific evidence proving what happened at Auschwitz. It was, as I recall, an incredibly horrifying yet fascinating program (Go PBS). I doubt it would convince conspiracy theorists and others of Irving’s ilk, but it surely…

Amazing how such a huge house looks so claustrophobic because of all the crap. Well, it’s all beautiful stuff (if not my taste) but OMG way too much.

Pretty sure Kurt will be in the forthcoming crime scene photos too! Yikes.

Double standard? What double standard?

I would have been interested to see a range of sizes holding up or trying to wear the sample sizes. I think it’s important to illustrate just how small they are even for women who don’t wear plus sizes. And I think it would also be another step towards presenting plus sizes as just something that’s out there rather…

This! This is why I can’t watch that movie even though it’s adorable. Too many tears.

I’m the daughter of an alcoholic too. I did drink in high school and college, but rarely to excess, in part because I have no tolerance and I get ridiculously drunk after 2 crappy beers and projectile vomit if I have any more than that. So yay for my body helping me out on that score. But once I was around people,…

Yes. This absolutely has to be drilled into them. I think part of the problem is that in so many other areas of life both boys and girls are taught not to take no for an answer. Like if they assert themselves enough they can overcome anything. So people are getting mixed messages and if there isn’t someone making the…

And I think the medical ethics folks are going to be arguing over the Was this cool issue for a while. I mean after Octomom there were all sorts of people for and against implanting so many embryos. And in that case most doctors were saying they wouldn’t implant that many cause it’s nuts. Similarly I can’t imagine…

As I understand it (and I could be behind the times for sure) eggs often don’t freeze well on their own. That’s why the embryos are created in many cases. Sperm of course freezes just fine.

I’m surprised that one of the nightly shows hasn’t gone out into the streets with pictures of trans & cis people and asked passersby which bathroom they should use. Because most folks won’t be able to pick out the trans people. (I mean I know they won’t do it cause it’s not a joke issue. But holy crap people are being…

I feel like the bigger question is not top sheet or no top sheet but rather how one puts on the top sheet. Do you do it the right way; i.e. with the top sheet placed so that the nice sheet hem/border shows when you fold it over the blankets? Or are you a monster?

I’m thrilled that Bernie decided to run. He may not (ok almost certainly won’t) be the nominee but he has changed the whole narrative of the race. And it really IS a shame that FDR’s ideas are now shat on by any Republican. And much of the underinformed public.

I am, like an increasing number of Americans, a contract worker. An Independent Contractor which is a convenient way for employers to get out of having to pay for fun stuff like vacation/sick days medical insurance and so on (and yes, like so many other things it originated from people trying to do something good and…
