Agreed.

Yeah, I think his death deserves a bit more than a bullet point.

I went to Tulane for public health and tropical medicine because I wanted to study tropical vector-borne diseases. The classes were meh, probably typical for any grad program, but I networked the hell out of that place and sidled up to a prominent researcher in the field. I had a job with a nice salary and benefits…

I am the supervisor to someone with your exact issues. It would be a different story if the issues remained unrelated to her work performance, but her actions have not only affected her, but also the other members of our team. Like you said, we are a small group and efficiency is important. I had to admonish her the…

This happened to my friend. She is a bright young lady, got her master's (and a crap ton of debt that came with it), taught at a very well-to-do montessori school for two years. Then her husband was transferred to Virginia, and she could only find a job managing an apartment complex. It breaks my heart because she's…

Oh man. I still have a copy of The Empire Strikes Back I borrowed from a library some years ago. I better never go back to Louisiana!

Baby Mama's ant hill is bigger than his!

Thank you for sharing your story. You are a good woman. Much love to you.

Just another dumb $$ concept in the industrial wedding complex, same with Save-the-Dates and wedding showers, engagement showers, bridal showers, etc. I'm preparing for my wedding, and there is just so much garbage that these companies encourage you to buy. I got a price quote for invites that were $7 a piece, and…

Doug, ya made me chuckle with the Mummy references. Kudos.

Ha! This is my situation. And I work for a gov't agency that 99% of the public hates. Last week, we had one of our employees forced to his knees with a gun to his head by some nut job.

Hey, I enjoyed A Million Little Pieces as much as anyone, and I can't be bothered to be upset that he lied about his experience. But for god's sake, he couldn't think of a more clever, un-hackneyed title?!

I just learned something today! Thanks!

This was stupid. Please stop promoting it.

Your Roxi looks just like my Jazz! We don't know what he's mixed with (other than black lab), but he is a race horse!

I read Time for Joel Stein...that man cracks me up.

We were definitely losing enthusiasm by the time we found our house. Many of the houses we looked at were mired in foreclosure and short-sale proceedings (South Florida). We checked out our house the very same week it went on the market. We were so eager that it scared the owner who didn't really have any intent on…

Yay for you! We bought our house 6 months ago, and it's been like living in a dream! The whole process took six months (to find a house, negotiate with the current owner, bank stuff in order) and that was kind of hellish, but I would GLADLY do it all over again to be in the situation we are in. We've already made some…

I lived on Camp and Upperline a few years ago when we got the snow and freezing temps, and that's exactly what happened. The house itself didn't have heat, and then the pipes froze so I didn't have water for over a week. I was attending Tulane at the time, so thankfully I had a place to take a shower, but maaan, that…

Amen, sister! Although, it's 70 and rainy here, so it's been an inside day here in Key West.
