This woman is an inspiration.

Honest question: are we calling revivals reboots? I thought rebook was same premise retold with different people not same story continued. I could be wrong on this since the word reboot is bandied about fairly frequently (e.g., fuller house, though another example of what I would call a revival since it is a…

I asked him one night, snuggling. He said yes. Done.

I have no relationship with my mother, which has been one of the best decisions (gifts?) I ever gave myself. I get shit from my siblings, who agree that she is the worst but think something is better than nothing. Not for me, though. My father is distant and shitty and so we talk a few times a year and that is that. I…

The most difficult part of estrangement from my mother has been having to justify and explain it to everyone else. The easiest part? Not talking to her. I don't feel bad, I feel relieved. I don't want my children to go through anything like I did. When people tell me, unsolicited, how much I'll regret it or how I am…

I sent everyone an email with a website. It is 2015, screw buying stamps. As for seating? Sit somewhere, adults, presumably next to people you won't punch in the face at our wedding. But I'm a cheap jerk who is all about delegating where to sit to everyone but me.

Well she finally admitted she faked it to my one sister, who let me and my brothers know. My oldest sister still doesn't know because none of us want to break her heart. I mean, it certainly isn't the only off the wall terrible thing she has ever done and the rest of us just put it in the pile. She tried to kill…

I'm sorry for your loss.

My mom faked breast cancer, that was a treat. I mean, all us kids suspected but how do you even, right? For years, I would go in for check ups and they’d be like, ‘do you have a history of cancer in your family?’ And I'd kind of hem and haw because I couldn't really be sure.

I get booze, a moon bounce, and guacamole and invite everyone. No presents, no singing, just an excuse for a bunch of people in their 30’s and 40’s to bring their kids and tire them out, then have adult bounce time when the kids are eating cake.

I think people who were loved can’t imagine other situations. Or often can’t, I’d hate to make sweeping statements about other people’s lives and perspectives (cuz I know it pisses me off). But seriously, ‘I’m sure your mother did her best’ is a sentiment that can go straight to hell. I'm sorry your family sucked, I…

Dear Random Strangers and/or Acquaintances,

Bc he knows those shoes make his butt pop.

Isn’t there?

Quarterly *overnight* deep cleaning of restaurant. Yep. That means all the shit they put on the walls needs shined, dusted, and windexed.

I'm a bit more of a descriptivist, myself, but if you find adjective-as-noun usage annoying, might I suggest you assume that "a sexist" is just shorthand for "a sexist asshat".

It can be both. She can be choosing to address a thing and do so through the channels that would be amenable to her doing so because money. That is possible.

I see what you did there.

Evo psych. 'Nuff said.

AMEX lost a big class action and many of their benefits will change to be the same as other companies anyway. Perchance this is a reflection of that.
