Maybe we all need to start throwing theme parties. “Donna Reed Does Smorgasbord”

Lol. That’s better than mine who insists that I’ll regret not having one when I start having dinner parties. Ma I’m over 40. If I was going to throw dinner parties that needed chafing dishes I would have started by now.

One thing we have asked parents/grandparents is a flat out “what do you want kept within the family?” (Now we might not honor that request when they’re dead, but at least we know that most of the stuff that they have is not of utmost importance.

That audio is so so icky. It immediately made me tense up and get anxious. Because most of us have been there. Not in that exact situation, but in a position where we’re uncomfortable and scared and having no idea how to proceed when confronted with someone who is more powerful in every way. The questions in your head…

That seems to be a common theme with pols, especially R pols. I know it’s because of money/reelection, but I always wonder if they realize their constituents would like them a whole lot better if they had spines and weren’t just blobbing around waiting for someone else to take a fucking stand.

Right? What design genius was like we’ll make a cat....with no head! People will LOVE it!

The other scam people pull is having a “grandchild” call and say they need bail money since they’ve been arrested (or that they got robbed and lost passports) in a foreign country. Lots of elderly folks fall for that one too.

It’s weird. Part of my job is to be a “friend” to my clients. But I’m not actually their friend. I may be listening to their trials and tribulations, and share very minor ones of my own (stupid grocery store stories or something) but they don’t pay me to listen to my shit. So it’s even more lonely in a way. I spend…

Why is NBC trying to make the Menendez brothers a thing again? It was boring enough during the ACTUAL trial (except for the hilarity surrounding one of the brothers demanding his toupee). Whether you believe the abuse angle or not it is distasteful that they are marketing this as sort of a ‘did they do it’ thriller…

I would settle for him walking onstage at a rally and having every single person behind him turn their backs and just stand in silence (bonus points if they are the military). If he gives a state of the union speech every person in that chamber should stand up and turn away. No clapping no jeering no sound. Just pure…

Right? In an ideal world people would have access from their homes but if this is an ideal world then I want to complain.

The hearing is a breathtaking display of bullshit on the republican sides. Oh you can keep on doing exactly what you want in your state. Umm HOW? motherfucker. STOP LYING STOP LYING STOP LYING YOU LOUSY FUCKING SHITWEASELS

There was an article in the NYT last month about maternity homes in Alaska where women from really remote villages stay at the end of their pregnancies so they aren’t delivering in villages hours away from doctors.

Why? No really why? If you want to make Peter Rabbit make Peter Rabbit. If you want to make a creepy fratdouche rabbit movie do that but don’t sully poor Beatrix Potter with your bullshit.

There was a program on it at one point. They either cut the house up and move pieces separately and then reconnect or they completely dismantle it piece by piece labeling everything as they go. and then rebuild.

Burning Man is for stupid people. The rest of us are smart enough get high* AND enjoy flush toilets.

And it’s way easier to find and claim money when the person is alive. You can claim after death but there’s so much paperwork involved it gets messy.

I’m guessing every cent will get deducted from her taxes somehow...

I should have been more specific and specified Fair Market value. But in my experience you can’t actually sell things for their FMV so taking a deduction is worth it. (Replacements for example is perfectly happy to price china and crystal at fair market value but only offers pennies on the dollar.)

I mean, even the insurance companies came out against it. The very companies who will make fucking bank if it passes since they can charge whatever the fuck they want for plans that won’t cover any actual medical conditions. If even those jackwagons are against it it’s safe to say that the only people for it are the…
