Um.... Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been giving away millions and millions for years! They have deeply supported two organizations I have worked with... And gave me the seed money to start an organization focused on HIV/AIDS and TB in CIS region. Her impact has been huge especially on global health. 

What the actual hell is the tone of this article???

Warning: domestic violence

I moved to Mexico City a few years ago, and in my second year found an apartment I loved in an old neighborhood. It was tiny and full of light and just perfect for me!

Shortly after moving in, I realized there was a ghost in the house. Things happened - the lens on my blue sunglasses going…

I love reading these every year, but I’m always too late to post. Hope I can sneak this one in!

I work in a historic house and 100% am team ghost here. Dont touch the objects. It’s bad for them, we worked hard to take care of and place them, and you wouldn’t want some random people moving your stuff. Please let the ghost know we are hiring. 

Halloween night, early 2000's. My wife, a couple of friends and I decide to take a haunted tour of a historical house in our area. We get there, the tour begins. For the most part it’s just the normal historical stuff about the owners and the grounds.

Apparently I’m sharing more? OK.

So I spent a lot of time growing up in my grandma’s haunted house where she still lives. When she first moved in (iirc) all the walls were dark brown or black and there were pictures of people in coffins hanging up. My grandma had no time for that nonsense so she just threw all the…

I’m definitely down to subscribe for some weird lady content if you’re up for sharing it. 

Oh! I remembered the story I was going to share this year!

What My Daughter Saw

My great-grandmother lived in the same house for over 70 years, from when she got married in 1922 until she had a stroke in the 1999. It was one house over from my grandparents’ house, and I spent most of our visits to see them going from one house to the other.

Any dog can do a lot of damage to a human being. Please don’t perpetuate the myth of pitties being more vicious than other animals. It’s hard enough already for them to be treated with respect. So many are ignored at shelters and/or are euthanized just by virtue of being a pitbull type dog

AKA The Best Cusack

Am I the only one who thinks Michael Gandolfini looks a lot like a young John Cusack?

His mental illness is moot because he knows about it and has treatment options.

So, even if once off the meds, he couldn’t make choices about beating his girlfriend because of his disability, he is still responsible for the choice to go off the meds.

Same as drunk driving. We prosecute drunk driving. Even if you are too…

So it was about three months after I kicked my husband out of our Brooklyn apartment for having a long term affair. I was Not In A Good Place. In fact, I generally describe that time of my life as having discovered where my line in the sand was. But anyway.

It’s weird because I absolutely hate scary movies I hate being scared but I LIVE for these. Maybe its just because they're written and I like reading. I was just checking yesterday and was worried they weren’t doing it this year!! Woo something fun! 

LW, you know you’re still using your ex, right?

In elementary school, I had this terrible teacher, Mr. Long. He was a dick who clearly had anger management issues and a palpable dislike of children. Lest you think he was some holdover from the days when no one cared what went on in classrooms, he was 25. We were his second class after completing his bachelor’s and…

I work in software, a very male dominated industry. I was negotiating a deal with another company and the representative said “have you ever worked in software before? It seems like you don’t know what you’re doing.” To which I responded “I see on my LinkedIn notifications that you looked at my page the past 3 days in…
