Either that or else it’s a sign that a pair of clueless computer n00bs have found each other and want to revel openly in their technical illiteracy. If I were going to start a 419 scam*, I might start by mining social media accounts for couples in that situation!

We know how to get into each other’s computers in case of an emergency, but I don’t mess around with Mr. Sububi’s devices and have no reason to believe that he would do so with mine. I honestly don’t want us to know every little idea or fantasy that goes through each others’ minds; there are times you just want to be…

Another creepy-BIL story, this one starting in the 1930s: When my mother was 16, she learned to keep away from her older sister’s boyfriend — then in his mid-twenties — because he was hitting on Mom while dating said (unsuspecting) big sister. Mom successfully avoided him, but he did marry my aunt and have a family…

From the latest news reports, it looks like this is what happened:

I agree with Acorn. I remember some people (mostly male) unleashing their inner concern trolls when Torrid came along. I mean, they seriously acted like they believed young women would deliberately gain weight just to be able to shop there.

The dearly departed Coldwater Creek used to do that. A lot of their clothing had misses, petite, and plus versions. If you saw, for instance, a pair of jeans you really liked there, it didn’t matter whether you were a 4 or a 2X or a 12P; once you found the style, you could look for your size.

I don’t see this throwing the election to Trump. I do see it as consuming a lot of Hillary Clinton’s time for months, almost certainly for no good reason.

Cook has been called a “dangerous alpha male” and this, it seems, is an inaccurate assessment of what’s really going on.

I’d rather vote in someone with 25 years of experience in a STEM profession.

I’m cheered by imagining the name of the event changed to “Alfred E. Neuman Memorial Dinner”.

Here’s what I don’t get about birtherism. The whole issue is easily disproved anyway, but:

Exactly. I’m no fan at all of the GWB administration and its policies, but Rice is a professional who was eminently qualified for her position. Trump is burning bridges with conventionally conservative Republicans, and this is just a continuation of that effort, so — Go ahead and be obnoxious to other Republicans,…

If I ever experience a medical emergency on board an aircraft, the last thing I’d want is for flight attendants to block the path of a physician who volunteered to help while asking her inane questions.

BTW, I love your handle!

Donald Trump is a smushed up caterpillar your 6-year-old brother set on fire with a magnifying glass.

My uncle was a colorful and eccentric guy, alternately a lovely person and a difficult one, and sadly gone much too young due to his relentless chain-smoking. He also used a wheelchair because he had cerebral palsy, so every bit of loathing I already had for Trump was raised to the fourth power when the latter made…

I wonder if Barron will ever escape. Being given the fake name your father used to troll journalists is not a promising start.

A few months ago, a member of my extended family — who is in her 80s — got catcalled and harassed by some drunken louts, in broad daylight, in a chain restaurant.

I hope she told his friends that he smelled like an asshole, and it wasn’t hers.

I’ve written about this before, but some asshole that I didn’t actually know once decided that a bit of sudden, unannounced frottage with me from behind was just the thing. In deep water at a public lakeside beach. With a lot of people around, including many small children. With his arm wrapped tightly around my neck.…
