It is better to make a concrete offer. Say something like - I want to help you. Can I come by on Thursday next week with dinner? People who are grieving don’t always feel comfortable asking for help even when it has been offered with the best, truest of intentions.

HASHTAG NAVY

Sympathy, maybe. (We’re all God’s creatures, says the atheist.) But that’s about it.

I feel like it’s really really really not my place to tell a black woman how to feel about Rachel Dolezal. Nor is it my place to judge her feelings. And I’d be kind of uncomfortable if Bobby went there.

I suppose you’d see more anger if the reason people like Rihanna was because of her really astute social commentary.

According to this article, the suspension was only for ONE FREAKIN’ DAY. Yes. ONE. WHOLE. DAY. Which is making me side eye the parents who are trying to make it sound like the kid was kicked out of this school for good.

Dude, you’re trolling more than I am, and my name couldn’t indicate “troll” any more than if it were “Troll von Troll McTrollington of the Clan Troll.”

“In that sense, the Seahawks losing because of a rule nobody knew was a rule would’ve been an even more unsatisfying conclusion.”

Tell me something. How many of you even knew that was a rule before the guys at NFL Network and ESPN pointed it out? Even three former NFL players on the broadcast crew (Steve Young/Trent Dilfer/Ray Lewis) didn’t know that was a rule—-Young even wondered aloud “is that new?”

This wasn’t nearly as bad as Fail Mary, but…

Tacking the word “white” in front of any generalizing rant about women doesn’t make you not a misogynist bigot.

Fuck IPA fever. I am so sick of wasting ten minutes per table explaining our vanilla espresso IPA, our 36,000,000-minute IPA, our Antidisestablishmentarianism IPA. Go hump a barrel of hops and GTFO of my face.

“Ex” is an excellent title for him.

Oh man, my ex looooved to reference this. Except he used it as another way to be condescending, which sort of defeats the purpose of being a tool for understanding each other.

Love languages can’t fix everything, of course. They’re not going to solve your joint money problems, for example. They’re not going to make your in-laws more tolerable or get your partner to help out more around the house. But the concept does go a long way in communicating better, and we all know how much that…

Frequency doesn’t necessarily imply importance though. I was thinking of a previous relationship while choosing - I used to have this boyfriend who gave me stuff or took me places all the time, but after the honeymoon period seldom ever said loving things to me. As a result, I always felt like shit, because him saying…

I’m not very good at this quiz. I tried taking it, but out of every choice one was something that happens ALL THE TIME and one was something that almost NEVER happens.

This was one of the best books that I’ve ever read.

My top love language is Receiving Gifts. It makes me kind of uncomfortable to let people know that, though, because it seems sort of shallow to me. I know that for me, I just feel really cared for and important to that person if I receive a little something from them for a holiday or randomly that says, “I was at this…
