But really, don’t we all kind of wish Matt Lauer was a attacked by a wild cougar?

Good debunking. I used to work with graphic designers (not even video people), and I’ve seen a lot of the tricks they can do. I image video/tech/film people can do a lot more.

I love his stand-up. You can find clips of it on YouTube. Check it out. I also loved “The Big Sick” because it was genuinely funny and touching.

I was desperate to redo mine because I lost my job and need to sell. Hoping to list this month...

I’m sorry you’re leaving teaching, but happy you’re open to pursuing a passion of yours. I went into teaching in my 40s, but only lasted two years (one as a substitute, one as a full-time 8th grade teacher) until I didn’t get my contract renewed. I wanted so badly to be good at it, but it’s difficult and there was…

Watched all the episodes yesterday. Really liked it.

Take long walks. Play some music that calms you. Buy some of your favorite fragrant flowers as a treat to yourself and display them (maybe in your bedroom if you don’t want to share). Try to deflect when your parents start in on their criticism. Cook or bake something that makes your house smell delicious and soothing…

Be careful with Comet. I guess I had a porcelin tub (or painted tin or something) because Comet was way too harsh and scratched it all up. Then the bottom rusted out. Comet’s all I’d ever used on tubs, but not all tubs are the same. Definitely test it in a small area. Luckily, I just got my bathroom redone and this…

Grew up very nearby there. Beautiful Gulf Coast. Glad you and your family had a good time.

Sending love and healing power.

My grandfather was the same. Very oily—but he was from Southern Italy, so I think it’s in our genes.

I have Clinique Moisture Surge. I like it, but it’s a little greasier than some of their other products. I like Clinique Redness Solutions, Repairwear, and All About Eyes.

Of course not; it’s the Gators.

What pretty knitting—and puppers.

It wasn’t the NYPD that missed the opportunity, it was the DA’s office. Cops did their part.

Such a great short story, too. I recommend all of Daphne DuMaurier’s gothic horror writing. It’s very Edgar Allan Poe-esque. Also Shirley Jackson.

I wouldn’t call this “scary,” but the film does “atmospheric” REALLY well. I think it puts postpartum depression on screen in an intense, visceral way. That scene with the jackhammering...

I was once really mad at my brother for cheating on his girlfriend, and I gunned the engine hard at him. The car (a tiny, pathetic thing) was in our driveway and lurched at him, but I hit the brakes in time, thus not hitting him. Still, I wanted to. I was REALLY mad that he was being such a sleaze. I thought he was…

Dude, you’re just being a dick to be a dick. Hence, really, proving the point.

Color me not surprised. With power comes douchebaggery.
