Maybe the church can step in and move him to another town where he can be the dad on another show.

Can't we just send the dog to cheer up already quarantined people?

My 92 year old grandfather lost his wife while they were both in their mid 80's. My own family lived about three hours from him, but thankfully my aunt and uncle and cousin only lived 20 minutes away in the same town. They would come over to visit and check in with the nurse and mow the lawn, etc etc. Really a good…

I really think this is an idea that's terribly important and not pointed out often enough. A LOT of people go through this phase, but they don't all turn to the "dark side" so to speak. I also think that making assumptions about "nice guys" is one big reason some men immediately and vehemently dislike feminists (or at…

I agree it's usually men that become a problem.

I guess it just rubs me the wrong way when I hear it only applied to men. Pretty much everybody I know who's single in their late 20's/early 30's sounds the same, but they get flack for it in different ways depending on gender.

Instead of recognizing that it sucks for…

I once had 40yo customer ask me if the omelet had egg in it. The obvious reply of, "an omelet is made from eggs," prompted "well, it doesn't say egg," and a completely bewildered look from me.

Damn, is it that bad not eating meat, that vegans have to lie to themselves to eat their awful food? If all you serve is soy, just fucking serve soy! Stop trying to pretty it up with fancy shapes and names of foods you're too good to eat!

Honestly, seeing you in them with the tank... now I really want a pair. Maybe you felt silly, but I think you look super cool.

Speaking of stabby Chefs, I worked at this coffee shop that got sort-of turned into a restaurant when the owner hired a fancy-ass French chef to oversee the new menu. This guy had 'mise en place' tattooed on one forearm and a big kitchen knife tattooed on the other. THAT kind of guy. He'd been fired from his previous…

Once when I was serving in a bar I had a tray with four drinks on it for a booth with two couples. As I approached the table, one of the men cupped my ass. I immediately dumped the full tray in his lap. As I made eye-contact with his wife, I told him how sorry I was - but that when he grabbed my ass I was so…

In other words, if you are an introvert, you're fucked.

But if you're honest and real, people don't like that. I post happy statuses/pics when I am happy, and post statuses where I'm super depressed and suicidal. People don't want to see that, they don't want to see what's real. But I am me and I'm not going to filter my life for them, so that's why I only have like 60…

Interesting. I tend to go the opposite direction on facebook. I post pictures of me wearing, say, all flannel where the top and bottom are two different orange and blue plaids (hi irl friends who will 100% be able to identify me if they see that!) and no makeup. Or status updates that are just terrible puns or about…

We had the opposite of this happen in recent years. We suffered a major financial and health setback in our family that has pretty much wiped us out. Those decades of building up relationships and friendships and even family disappeared almost overnight. Much of it seemed to have to do with when we stopped being…

So true! And that's not just a Boston area thing, that's throughout New England. My husband spent some formative years in rural Maine and when he and his sister were little and getting a handle on spelling, they quizzed their mom (who is an Ohio native) why their favorite place to eat, "Whippers Pizza" was pronounced…

I believe the taste of rich person meat has a certain je ne sais foie gras...

After I ignored my neighbor's screams and found out later that she'd been put in the hospital for domestic violence injuries, I vowed to never mind my own business again when it comes to that sort of thing. I've checked on other neighbors over the years when I thought it was necessary. We need to look out for each…

The first ever article I read by Lindy:

wow, thank you. that means a lot to hear my desires validated.

"if a chef is in the position of being able to set the menu every day according to his or her whims/preferences, it would be really insulting for somebody to ask for something unique - the implication there is that what is already available is not "good enough".
