There are so many good names out there. Why Misty, ladies, when you have the power to choose for yourself?

Why do hot dog places always have terrible / ridiculous names? Our local joints are Top Dogs and Buddy’s Saucy Dogs. “Saucy” dogs don’t even sound appealing! Why must they all be bad puns or euphemisms? Why must I love a good hot dog so? I can’t quit these absurd establishments.

In addition to some of the fabulous charities listed by others, I also give to Girls on the Run. I set my Amazon Smile charity to my local GOTR organization and do that, as well as sponsor a girl or two every running season. Our largest single donation each year is to Amnesty International.

GODDAMMIT, ADAM.

I can’t comment directly to that because I have no experience with Filipinas. I do know that my Thai sister-in-law absolutely slays in the boardroom and has the fiercest resting bitch face of anyone I know. I love her, but she scares me a little and I never want to get on her shit list.

That said, the Thai society in…

Get. It. La. Deeeeeees!

Freaking finally. If you need me, I’ll be in the tiltyard.

And here I was, wondering what to do with the e-book settlement money burning a hole in my pocket. Thanks for the rec!

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you’re here, and I’m glad you get to witness today’s protest.

I just took my Ambien and am waiting for it to kick in. I used to get mild hallucinations when I first started taking it (5 or 6 years ago, in response to chronic, lifelong insomnia), and sent my bff some crazy emails. Once, when we were both on it, we had a phone conversation that neither of us remembered the next…

“Let’s say, theoretically, that Fiorina is not advocating that women vote for Trump, but that she is actively advising them to stay home.”

Can we even pay lip service to the fact that there will be more than two candidates on the ballot, and that a voter could (potentially) vote third party for president, while falling…

No, the vaccine really isn’t the issue in this particular case, and I don’t understand why the anti-vax people would wish to align themselves with a case of criminal medical negligence. It doesn’t do their own cause any favors to champion people so clearly in the wrong. Of course, they, too, are clearly in the wrong,…

They should have taken the baby to the goddamned doctor. But isn’t the meningitis vax typically given to older kids? Mine got it in middle school. Sticking to the vax schedule might not have kept this poor kid from becoming ill, although failing to get him to the doctor is 100% criminal neglect.

I’m so distressed about gun control. My husband is a pro-gun liberal, and we kind of got into it during a long car trip this past weekend. What he started as a generic philosophical conversation about the ethics of consumer culture, likening luxury purchases to a failure to save drowning children (it made sense in…

Me, too, and I’m a profuse sweater. I didn’t know stinky pants was a thing until I saw that Tide ad. I thought they were solving a problem that didn’t actually exist.

Since the shooting, I have felt angry to the point of silence and inaction. I’m usually all over my social media with rants and outrage, writing my congressmen ineffectual letters (yay, South!) but this time .... I don’t know. I just don’t know anymore. I feel helpless. I want to do something that actually makes a…

Well then, you’re officially on the RR beat. Keep us informed!

“I truly would have put myself through anything.”

Oh, you did, Elizabeth. You did. You did everything in your power to give your guy a chance, and when all failed, you did everything in your power—and put yourself through hell—to make his passing as painless as possible. You are strong and incredible. Thank you for…

Right? I had to go back and look specifically at the boots. They didn’t even register the first time.

I would like to publicly endorse that couch for queen of my patio. Fabulous!
