I love that all of our gents rejected the stereotypical household in which they were raised. Also the life tips from a person who is not role-model material. LOL. I feel that. My MIL tried to stop me from giving my dog a tiny taste of Thanksgiving turkey because it’s bad for them, even though she kept her dogs chained…

Wow! I really feel you on this so much. My smart, handsome, athletic, creative, conscientious husband is not seen that way at alllll by any of his relatives. He has achieved things that maybe 1% of the population has done, but to them he’ll always be the guy who wouldn’t accomplish anything beyond living in his…

Yup. They call the space between Pittsburgh and Philly Pennsyltucky. Visiting my ex’s grandmother out in the sticks, I was the only brown person for miles. There had been KKK meetings on the hill next to her property. “Get Out” level creepiness.

Hahaha— Oh no, me too. I had a LaserDisc player, Handspring PDA, an RCA Lyra media player.... I never learn.

I had no idea that was himmmm!!! The man hasn’t aged, he’s ripened.

Haha, I completely agree. Monogamy is easy for me as a normal-looking non-famous person. ScarJo is an A-list sex symbol with male peers and probably all men everywhere shooting their shot with her. And even if she never acted on it, I’ve witnessed in some of my hotter/flirtier friends’ relationships that getting tons…

I’m with you! Little me and my little backpack travel as much as we can afford. I don’t care if I wear the same jeans for a week if it means a new city to explore. I definitely get how it sucks to be a tall person or high maintenance, but I can’t reach high shelves and my hair is never perfect, so life evens out?

Yeah, that’s fair. But he looked like the only white jazz musician in the movieverse and the only one of the musicians who John Legend just walks up to and gives a lucrative and successful job despite his reputation of being hard to work with. 

I’m from California and I was appalled. An LA without Mexicans is no LA at all. Ryan Gosling can wear the hell out of a rolled sleeve, but he CANNOT sing. A white jazz musician, really? The only things I liked were the solid color dresses and the alternate timeline at the end. They should have made the whole movie…

that’s adorable!

Hearted. My list is usually more diverse, but I am spending every non-working moment lost in 3 legit fantasy novels in Audible, Kindle, and library books. #escapism #wakemefromthisnightmare #i’dratherbeinNeverwhere

Thank you for this amazing gift.

Aww, thank you! My best friend recently became a therapist and she told me it’s unbelievable how quickly spouses run away as soon as mental illness rears its head. :( Meanwhile, I think I’m the lucky one to have such a strong, creative and inspiring husband.

My husband has this problem with his bipolar disorder. He feels bad and then he feels bad about feeling bad, which compounds the bad feeling to a worse feeling and then he feels worse about feeling worse. When I can convince him to just feel bad and NOT feel guilty about it, he can move on faster.

This one’s fun too!

There are tons of Spanish carols! But “Feliz Navidad” is the only one simple and repetitive enough for the average white ear. This is the first one that comes to mind from my 80's childhood— it’s always ready to get stuck in my head. There’s a ton of these villancicos.

Oldies but goodies: The Jeeves books by P.G. Wodehouse! They’re as light as humanly possible and just delightfully British. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy— hilarious nonsense. The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde- I used to read it once a year just for the laffs. :)

My husband is not a forgetful person, so when he suddenly was forgetting to walk the dog, forgetting that he was cooking and burning his food, and missing trash day (among other things), we chalked it up to stress. But soon other symptoms developed, including sleeplessness, racing thoughts, and agitation—and we…

I think I’d like your sister! I’m also consistently OTT and can’t help it. Luckily, people seem to think it’s cute, so nobody has asked me to stop being a Christmas tree yet. Maybe when I reach middle age they might start worrying about me— but for now I’m young and bubbly enough to pull it off.

I love Disney villains— and they do look just the right amount of detailed! Thank you!
