Pretty sure Maxine is a troll.

Is this the tomato person? The original comment - and some subsequent ones - seem very passive-aggressive to me. Definitely a troll.

I don’t remember - for my grandparents, it was the nonstop use of the word “fuck” in every possible way. Strangely, the movie that did traumatize me was A Clockwork Orange, a movie my mom took me to at the theater and during which she assumed I would sleep.  Reader, I did not.

I see your Angel Heart with mom and raise you Al Pacino in the 1973 movie Serpico with my siblings, ages 14, 13 and 11, and my grandparents. My grandparents actually got up at one point and moved to a different part of the theater they were so horrified.

It’s the Beygency!!!

Regarding Trump in the future. Almost 60 years after the end of WWII, my mom and I were in Nuremberg on some hideous tour of central and eastern Europe and many of the townspeople were unhappy to see a group of Americans. Sure, it could just be a group of Americans, but I sensed a deep-seated hostility that I’m pretty…

Not sure it’s a great idea, though, to adopt foreign curse words. My kid used “scheisse” where she’s a counselor at a zoo camp and some little brainiac knew what it meant and immediately told on her.

Good luck! Wishing you well!!!

They will.  For the rest of their wretched lives.

I forgot to pick up my kid from zoo camp once and it wasn’t until the zoo called that I realized the time, etc.  I was at work and tired, stressed, all of the above.  Sadly, when you pull something like this when they’re able to talk, they tell everyone.  If I had a nickel for every time my daughter (now 15) says,…

I wonder if we’re not all just playing that old game where we whisper secrets around a room to see how much they change from beginning to end.  I was so frustrated for you, Anna, reading through this story. And the hills some people will choose to die on!  I was part of a minor scandal that made the papers for a…

Anyone else remember the excitement of chili and a cinnamon roll?

I hate we’ll wait AND see - it should be wait to see.

Perhaps I could be your mother?  You seem wonderful!

Drew, you haven’t heard that Ammon and Cliven Bundy have left the militia due to trump’s inhumane treatment of immigrants. I AM NOT KIDDING.

Why hasn’t everyone canceled their Prime memberships?  Amazon treats people like disposable napkins.  Fast delivery is hell on the environment.  Why, people, why?  Stop being a part of the fucked up system you complain about!

Please.  Won’t someone Consider the Lobster?

When my daughter was in grade school, I “opened” what I charmingly called “The Cats’ Cafe,” played a CD from the musical CATS, and made whatever her little heart desired. I made Mickey Mouse pancakes, french toast, eggs, bacon, etc. I made her little cups of coffee with lots of milk in them. WHY, then, is she so…

Right? Like you bless the rains where, exactly?
