When I was about 22 one of my close friends, T, completed suicide. His housemate found him. None of us knew what he’d been going through. He was the life and soul. It was hard.

Good kitty.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *deep breath* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Two years ago, I got severely, awfully sick (probably the flu). I didn’t go to work for the entire week. It was all I could do just to keep myself drinking liquids and soup and shuffling to bed. The worst part was my husband was traveling for business, so I was all alone, just me and our sweet black cat Libby.

Early Fall 1974

Trigger warning: violent rape.

My father has always been a history buff, specifically interested in The Battle of Little Bighorn. He began collecting items related to that time in history when I was in Jr. High, including uniforms, swords, a battle flag, letters and photos. He now frequently loans out to museums and historical societies, but for…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Ok, maybe its the stupid European in me, or I am trying to understand crazy too much here, but where is the connection between “Dead Babys” and Anti-Vaxx? Wouldnt more vaccinations prevent Dead Babys?

Man, these anti-vaxxers sure do love trying to expose other people to diseases. 

Does no one in America know the meaning of the word “treason”? 

This. To hell with the inevitable cries of “ageism” that we’ll be hearing from Bernie’s supporters. This job sucks the life out of those who take it seriously. Remember how quickly it wasted Obama? Now the public will be considering that for a man in his late 70's who now has cardiac issues.

I wish him a speedy…

Yeah, I was with my now husband for 8 years (living together 7) before we got married 6 years ago. Absolutely no difference other than people stopped asking us when we were going to get married.

FUCK YES I would buy Ina Garten’s memoir.  Where the hell do I get on the waiting list?

“I’m not a doctor or a psychiatrist but I’ve spoken with Natalia and I believe her. If you’re asking me if I think she is 30, that’s ridiculous.”

Wait, is this a thing? I once had a 15-year-old boy in my summer school class who made me feel uneasy for some reason I couldn’t put my finger on, and he turned out to be a 22-year-old Ukrainian national who’d overstayed his visa and was paying some family to “adopt” him. He’s now in prison on a bunch of charges.

As a tool to quit smoking or just an less dangerous alternative to tobacco, vaping is good. But it is quite frankly disgusting that companies like Juul are actively profiting from getting kids addicted to nicotine and I won’t feel the least bit sorry if these laws cause Juul to crash and burn.

I also dislike the fact…

I don’t get the “malls are dying” schtick. Yes, many malls have closed. In almost every case that I’ve personally seen where a mall has closed, there has been a newer/bigger/better/nicer mall within a couple of miles that was still thriving. People still go to malls to shop. Our local mall was packed during back to…

I love the dictionary!! I mean, who knew that you spell “shade” m-e-r-r-i-a-m-w-e-b-s-t-e-r?
