I'm sorry for your loss as well ... that's SO sad that he missed meeting his granddaughter. Life is NOT fair ... that's for sure.

Yeah, it's actually a fantastic story. He loved that band SO much ... went to concerts and even went down to Georgia each year to their "homecoming" shows. He and his wife ended up meeting a couple guys in the band ... and over time they got to know everyone really well.

Exactly. That was us too. It was such a horrible, shitty day ... to lose someone so young and vibrant ... they had two boys who were not going to grow up with their dad. And hearing that music made us smile ... knowing this was what he wanted us to experience on that last day.

Okay, but I'm going to be the devil's advocate here ... they COULD'VE had health problems. And it's not like the baby was shitting mustard gas ... health problems related to e-coli or what not could've taken days to show up. And who wants to be the restaurant sued when they DON'T take action?

This is what I want to ask ... and I am NOT being a troll and I'm NOT being judgmental ... but seriously ... I do not understand this. There have been restaurants forever ... and the whole "provide a changing table" is a new-ish thing. So what did people do in the 50? In the 60's? In the 70's? I don't remember a…

A close friend of ours was a huge Drive by Truckers fan. He had ALS and knew his time was close and he planned his entire funeral. He requested his favorite song, Zip City, be played at the funeral ... and it ... was awesome. To watch everyone's faces ... those of us who were close to him and knew the band were…

My boyfriend handed me this one night when we had tacos ... I said, "Stop being ignorant." I'm the last of the romantics, right here ...

I feel ya. My brother told me about this "new theory" about Jon Snow. My eye twitched. Seriously. It was everything I could do to stay polite.

Bite your tongue!

Ignore + North = IgNorth ... something I guess the paps are calling her. Along with "accessory" ...

Omigosh ... did we share an ex-husband? I don't regret the divorce for a minute because it was a terribly, terribly unhealthy situation. But you can look at his mother and SEE where his mental illness came from. The first time I met her, she talked about having him when she was 15 and taking him to parties ... so…

Yup ... my ex-husband has Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder and I was told by his psychiatrist and other professionals that there is basically no hope. They don't think they need help - and when they agree to get help, they're playing the system ... saying whatever they need to say…

When I was growing up, I was always told about my one set of great grandparents (great great grandparents?) who died months apart because "He couldn't stand to live after she died." I was always told what an amazing love story it was ... how he couldn't wait to be with her.

We have a woman in our office who sits on the other side of the cubical wall and works in a different team ... who has a cough that sounds as though she has some kind of wet, parasitic goo in her lungs. It is disturbing ... and has been going on for months. I mean ... so bad it sounds like she's going to die. She…

That ... is a damned fine point. Sometimes you have to count your blessings ... even what that blessing is, "I don't have Charlie Sheen for a grandfather."

My grandfather was an alcoholic asshole who drank whiskey out of a water glass, cheated on my grandmother regularly while she worked to support him, and was about to leave her for a 23 year old woman when he had a massive heart attack and died. Everyone in our small town knew him ... and everyone knew he was a piece…

I know, right? Like in this day and age it isn't common for a couple to BOTH work and BOTH contribute to a household? Seriously ... my mom was standing there that particular day and I thought her jaw was going to hit the floor. This dirt bag really WAS cathartic! I don't talk about this stuff much in the real…

No, thank goodness it's done now. The final time ... the night before I went back to court and requested the amendment ... he brought the police by at 2 a.m. on a work night. I told the police no ... I told them to get a supervisor because I was done. They tried to convince me for a moment ... then actually DID…

I snorted a tube of Pixie Stix in 10th grade ... kinda made me never want to try cocaine.

I've already got a cruise scheduled ... let's get 'em a ticket!
