That's why I try to limit myself to one glass of wine a day. Cheers!

Can't agree more. It is PAINFUL to watch my early-40s female friends go through dating and looking for a serious relationship. All the guys seem to be weird or damaged or skittish. I'm wondering where those awesome early-40s divorced men are.

This backup husband nonsense is so confusing to me. 1) most people have great difficulty finding an adequate mate - finding two? 2) even for those who do find more than one adequate partner, what is backup guy doing in the meantime? Waiting around "just in case?" If these women really do have this backup guy, I think…

You know, as a Black person, I don't have a lot of feelings about this. It's made healthy cooking amusing and interesting. And I think the thing that makes me feel more okay about it is that the authors aren't pretending to 'be down'. They're just saying 'hey, we had this idea and we wanna do it.' It would be one…

Poor education, poor life skills, poor access to psychological services, poor faith in "honest" systems of income. I'm all for taking personal responsibility, but it makes me uncomfortable to point and mock this desperate black woman who did something an educated, supported person would never do. Who really knows her…

When corporations do it, the government don't bother to set up a sting, they just bring the wine and candlelight.

When poor folk defraud the government it's called an outrage. When corporations do it, it's called business as usual. It's so prosaic that it's hardly worth mentioning.

Authorities learn she works for Goldman Sachs, apologize, give her 15% bonus, too.

Man, either we went to the same wedding or this is a theme in Texas Baptist weddings. The one I attended included a lady singing about Jesus dying on the cross while the bride walked down the aisle, no alcohol or dancing (of course), and a lot of dirty looks because I was the hussy showing cleavage.

THAT's the one-eyed doll she hates?! I thought you meant something along these lines

My husband's family comes from a culture of big weddings - if you've met someone and you're invited to the wedding, you go. Which is how we ended up at a dry, Syrian orthodox wedding. Wedding itself was fine, but the dry reception...Oy.

I love that you mailed them Vincent. You are fucking amazing.

I'm not sure why you don't think this is a contender. The face the story made me make is not something I can replicate with emojis.

So many things to tell..I will try to sum it up but it is going to get long and weird.

I went to a wedding as the guest of my boyfriend, so I didn't know too many people. The groom was softly sobbing as he waited at the altar. As the bride started down the aisle, he started wailing. When she reached him, his knees buckled and he fell down, rocking back and forth on his knees, sobbing like a baby. The…

Thankfully, my friends have had pretty good weddings (alcohol available, some kind of dancing/entertainment, very low drama).

What the actual fuck. That sounds like an amusement from the court of King Henry VIII.

I went to a wedding of a former friend from college (her wedding is the reason we are former friends) along with our huge group of 20+ friends. I was going to attend with another friend from our group, so instead of us both sending back in the RSVPs, I sent back my RSVP with a plus one thinking it would be okay since…

Priorities.

My uterus hurts from that story. This won't win the prize but I'm sharing anyway.
