Could I please have the full backstory on your parents forgetting Christmas?

I think the man he was with in the first news broadcast is his grandpa. Perhaps he spends quite a bit of time with him and has taken on his delivery. One of my brothers did this with our grandpa and (apparently—I wasn't born yet) it was hilarious. He even deepened his voice, walked around with an unlit corncob pipe in…

The Canadian Tuxedo is ideally done on a man with a William-Shatner-type build. Ideally, it's a dark denim shirt tucked into dark denim jeans all tightly cinched with a belt. The result should look like a fat man wearing a jean jumpsuit.

Didn't each of his previous marriages end because he was having an affair with his next wife? Is Cheryl Hines hoping he's too old to continue this pattern or is she in complete denial?

I cannot believe anyone would marry Robert Kennedy, Jr.

Yeah, she definitely needs to know you all are onto her. You and your friends could start a running joke about her lack of scruples around poaching boyfriends.

Now I want to see that film, and I haven't even seen the trailer!

From my experience, moving to a different place to find your perfect people/job is never the answer because you take yourself with you where ever you go. If you can't find your people/job where you are, it doesn't seem likely you'll find them by moving.

Why not try to not answer this time. Let him sweat and when you do finally pick up the phone, make him beg. Sounds like he's playing a game with you to reinforce his power in the relationship, and you continue to fall for it. Since you don't sound too happy about it, you could switch it up by playing harder and…

Had never heard of these wraps, so I googled them. Now I'm going to start seeing a thousand ads for them on every page I visit. Grrrr.

Congratulations! Smart casual is the way to go. You'll just need your laptop and perhaps a small notebook to jot things down. You may not even need your laptop, but they'll likely be giving you important urls and links to PPTs and such.

I think you might snore, and he doesn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you that your snoring is disrupting his sleep. I can't tell my husband because it will hurt his feelings, but sometimes when his snoring has kept me up for several nights in a row, I say I'm going to sleep downstairs so the dogs won't keep…

Why aren't her friends (including you) calling her out on hitting on their boyfriends when they're not around?

Yeah, I loved it because...OHMYGODHOTSEX....but I'm still (all these years later going,"Uh, so the whole episode in the country house was Charlotte Rampling's fantasy?"

People!! Goddamn but you have to be vigilant against the assholes of the world, eh?

Agreed—if it goes beyond a month, you're not helping a heart-broken friend, you're subsidizing a roommate.

But it was a "guest room," so not like she was getting money for it otherwise. I agree with you about groceries, etc. though—she should generously contribute to food bills.

Years ago, a woman friend who'd just broken up with her husband stayed on our couch (with her infant son) for a month. You made me remember that she ate all our food, but when she bought food for herself and her son, she would keep it separate in a bag in the fridge. It was weird, but I still would never have asked…

This is beside the point, but what kind of friend charges you rent to stay in her guest room for a few weeks after a break up?

HA! I was thinking of that moment when you made the reference! Madonna was such a bitch to her. Courtenay's crazy, but I did like her for that.
