I have a polite, cordial relationship with my dad's wife. I pray to God that he outlives her. He had a sudden life threatening health event and was hospitalized recently for 2 days. She did not call me. She called her kid, her sister, her friends. She did not bother to inform his only daughter that her father…
Her husband died in May 2013, so basically 18 months ago. I'm a couple of years older than Kelsey and my husband died nearly five years ago. Eighteen months is nothing in terms of 'getting over' the death of a spouse, and grief makes you do crazy things, so I can't really blame her for going on The Bachelor but if I…
I am seeing all the reasons people don't want to take Uber. I drive for Uber. When I accept their ride request people can see my picture, as well as my car make and model. I had a background check as well as safety inspections for my car. You can not hail me on the street. You have to request me though an app. If an…
Here's the thing: CHECK the car that you get into. If the driver and license plate do not match, don't get in. Don't sit in the front seat, either.
Yep - they're still married actually. One of the black contestants straight up asked Sean "is race a factor for you" and he was just like, "look - I dont' care about race at all. My last serious gf was black. I'm just looking for my best friend."
Here is my Dame Helen story.
Good lord. As if anyone needs more evidence for the existence of white privilege, I have never had to consider the consequences of my having or not having a shopping bag.
I'm a little troubled by this, because from my experience service employees are put in a bad place by management. I've been told to "watch out" for people who are almost always of a certain ethnicity/race, and have felt uncomfortable going against this.sometimes it doesn't even have to be said, but racial profiling is…
Mr. Truther is white. I am black. He was in a coma in the MICU for quite a while. He had a team of doctors for each of his organs and it was a teaching hospital. Doctors would walk into the room and would immediately assume that I was a worker, not the wife. They would address his 16 year old daughter and not me,…
"Women should feel pleasure and have sex and feel good about it – and there's a lot of shame involved with porn," said Jones. Yes, this is true.
I have my own Joan Rivers story, from just this past year.
Ringo Starr yelled at me in an airport when I was seven years old.
More cute than insane. Waiting back stage at the Kennedy Center Honors, just me and Tom Hanks. He was waiting for his cue to enter, and I was the first to places for the choir entrance. Mr. Hanks was watching the backstage monitor as the house camera panned the audience. When the camera landed on Rita Wilson, Mr.…
I met John Ritter in a bar and he asked me to hold his beer. Then he immediately yelled, "BARTENDER! THIS KID IS GETTING DRUNK OVER HERE!!", which made everyone in the bar turn and look, and me blush like crazy (I was 11). Then he bought me a water... which, errm.. was free. Because water. Also because open bar..…
Circa 2002? Maybe 2003.
I was the Room Service Coordinator at a casino in Atlantic City, NJ. My job consisted of taking orders via phone, creating the checks, assigning servers, and closing the checks. Room service also handled all the amenities for the shows, so I've been on the phone with an assortment of…
Better late than never, and most definitely should've posted this story sooner but here it goes. I do promise this will make you smile.
