Every single day, I vow that I won’t allow myself to get sucked into the media maelstrom again, and every single day, I find myself unable to look away. It’s a desperate vigilance—a sort of constant hope that this will be the day he finally does himself in, that the people who voted for him will truly understand how

My parents weren’t particularly religious, but they did take my siblings and me to church regularly. They felt that would give us the information we’d need to ultimately make our own decisions about the role religion would play in our lives.

I feel you. I’m to the point now that I reflexively start all my comments with, “Off topic, I know, but....”

Oh my, you are behind in your hot felon-related gossip. I’ll summarize: He and Green have taken their PDA on a nonstop world tour, including trips to California where he spends time with his son. She’s angling to be the overly generous (potential) stepmother by showering the son with expensive gifts and affection.

When the Disney World Trump animatronic was first unveiled, it gave me quite a jolt. That’s because it’s the first time it really hit me that he’ll forever be a part of US presidential history. I’ve apparently been living more deeply in denial than I even realized.

I always wonder who foots the bill in situations like this, which reminds me that I can top you in embarrassing celebrity knowledge: I’m avidly following the Hot Felon/Chloe Green relationship and I can’t even imagine how things work for them financially. Felon says he makes $6,000 a month; if that’s true, he’ll have

I meant that I’m staggered by the unrelenting hypocrisy going on every single day, with no clear immediate consequences. Can you imagine what would happen if a Democrat pulled some of the stunts that have emanated from the Trump camp? It seems that regardless of what Trump says or does, he emerges unscathed, at least

I’m just ready for something they do to fucking matter. It. never. matters. I’m convinced that zero percent of the country could disapprove of the tax bill and it would still pass. What does it fucking take to get these assholes to act in the best interest of the country?

Illogical or not, I’m with you. When I saw this headline, my immediate reaction was to shout, “No fucking way!” It’s a good thing I work from home.

But I think it can be as beneficial as I explained it. While your wife’s experiences differ from what I described, that doesn’t mean they’re true across the board. My granddaughter is learning conflict resolution skills that are nuanced and empowering. That may be partially attributable to her age—younger kids might

My 13-year-old granddaughter’s school has implemented an anti-bullying program that works because it empowers students to get involved when they see a situation developing. Kids are trained to recognize bullying and learn tactics designed to de-escalate those situations. This approach does exactly what you noted: It

Oh god, you just hit a nerve. My father-in-law and I have been locked in silent battle for years over a fucking hand towel. It’s in a small guest bathroom off a main living space and it’s in constant view, so it matters to me how it looks.

In my experience, perpetrators are often those who seem the least likely, which explains how they get away with it for as long as they do.

One of Dr. Lee’s most famous blackhead patients was a man who accompanied his wife to her dermatology appointment. When Dr. Lee noticed his proliferation of blackheads, she offered to extract them for free in exchange for videotaping the procedure. There have also been a few that came in for other procedures

I’m with you. I’ve watched her videos and was surprised to read here that they’re considered exploitative. Many of her videos are devoted to ridding patients of blackheads, a practice she admits most dermatologists avoid since it’s time consuming and not medically necessary. For patients with an abundance of them,

Hush your mouth! No self-respecting southerner would admit to disliking sweet tea. You can think it but you’re not allowed to say it out loud.

I think she’s in over her Republican-talking-head head, evidenced by the fact she thought it was necessary to bring Obama into a discussion that had exactly zero to do with him. It’s a reflex reaction she learned at Fox: If something even remotely negative is said about Trump, then Obama or Hillary must be mentioned

Remember when they all stood together at that memorial service last year for those slain Dallas police officers? In spite of the gravity of the situation, GW seemed almost giddy, swinging Michelle’s hand while swaying and singing. There was conjecture at the time that he had been drinking, but he may have just been

...the presidency.
