Both my father and grandmother passed on December 10th (2 years apart) and it was several years before Christmas was ok again. 2 weeks ago my mother burned our house down.

I go to Europe each summer and have learned to schedule a food/drinks tour for the night I arrive. It forces me out of the hotel room regardless of how initially tired I feel, gets some good local food and alcohol in me, forces me interact with other human beings, and sets my sleeping schedule to local time right…

It’s up to a difference of 8,000 votes now and the challenges McCrory has made would effect only a few hundred votes. He can’t win. He is just going to continue to piss away as much NC money as he can, while he still can. The embarrassment he has sprayed all over this state is endless. There’s a march tomorrow to the…

Wheelchair Jimmy got JACKED.

In this case it cost one valuable sled dog.

The more disturbing part of Kathy Griffin’s story of meeting Woody was his comment about how his good friend Cosby was facing being rail-roaded by all those women. She talked about that little gem on Howard Stern a couple days ago.

Said by some asshole who clearly isn’t a teacher.

I think the only new person is Caroline’s sister-in-law, who was sort of a “friend of” last season. Caroline moved to Dubai, so she won’t be on after this season. Bravo has released some stuff about the up-coming season, along with a cast photo. I follow Caroline on Instagram and she posts updates, along with the…

I grew up in and returned to Winston-Salem NC 5 years ago. I know all these places very well, and work in an area exactly as you describe. I deluded myself by returned to my “city” home each day and all the Clinton signs that increased the farther I drove away from work, but it was there all along. The trucks with the…

No apologies. When my cat died right in front of me I thought I’d never recover. We’d been through everything, just the two of us... and then *poof* gone.

Yeah my mom burned our house down last night. So yeah, worst week, pretty much ever.

Weeks ago I asked for a sub for the day after the election. I teach in a super rural, pro-Trump area and didn’t feel safe regardless of the outcome. Tried to get drunk Wed night, but just fell asleep. We have sick leave for... reasons.

My mom set our house on fire last night. My sister came and got her and has committed her to an Alzheimer’s hospital and told me I had until Monday to get what I can from the house I grew up in and have lived in while taking care of my mother since 2010. I’m at the beach and haven’t even seen my house or what’s left…

I’m a NC Republican and I voted straight ticket Democrat as well.

He is so drunk right there.

“... It’s crazy, but I think that you know if you set your mind to something I think you can succeed.”

Everyone knows this part. I’ve commented before about this, for this particular show.

I have an X5 and I use mine at stop lights and heavy traffic almost daily. As I mentioned in another comment, the brake pedal is high and my foot is small and I fear my foot slipping off the pedal and rear-ending someone.

It’s the same button, just the other end, so.... why would you need to?

My 2009 BMW X5 has it, so pretty sure it isn’t a new thing. Or a VW thing.
