Christians are so over zealous now they are truly a pox on the land.

I know I’m late to the party on this article, but this brings to mind something Jack Nicholson’s character said in The Witches of Eastwick. I’m paraphrasing here: “Marriage, good for the man. Bad for the woman. It sucks the life out of her. Later the man complains he’s fucking a corpse, but he’s the one that killed…

I know right? All actors careers decline eventually. Dude needs to get over himself.

Having once pulled off a perfect giant pancake made from half a box of pancake mix by cooking it in a rice cooker--might I suggest rice cooker cake? 

I am Caftans & Cocktails and I wholeheartedly approve. I suggest you thrift your caftans. I have quite an amazing collection of them I have scored at Savers and Goodwills. Combine with a pair of wedge sandals, a cocktail in a whiskey tumbler, and a pair of oversized sunglasses, and take a walk about the grounds (or…

I finally stopped cleaning the “boys” bathroom. With three sons I hit a wall and just couldn’t fathom another day of cleaning up pee because boys can’t aim. I told my hubs “I refuse to clean up pee ever again. I’m not cleaning that bathroom anymore.” He looked absolutely flabbergasted and asked me in shock “Then how…

I found Bob Wells YouTube channel Cheap RV Living a couple years ago and have been following it intermittently ever since. The movie had a sense of emptiness and bleakness that goes with the theme of loss: Fern lost her husband, job, town, etc. What the movie didn’t portray was the hopefulness that the nomads on his…

“Failure of Gen X.” I’m not sure in what magical land a “success” could have happened. Or how you would define a “success.” People may change their views over the course of a lifetime, and some not at all. Cultures change even slower than individuals. Seems a bit unfair to blame Gen X just because they furthered the…

I’m starting to think that as people age they either become harder and more hateful, or softer and more loving. Rush Limbaugh, Qanon, Tea Party politics, etc just hasten the process and make it happen faster.

Similar situation, however in my case the one with the mental illness was my mom. When the divorce happened, dad left — and we still lived with my mom. She was loving when she was in a good space, but at other times there was verbal and emotional abuse. But mostly — parental neglect. We had food, clothes, shelter, but…

A stone that drains lymph. Ok, I’m sure lymph is a real thing—but it seems to be up there with “toxins” and “candida overgrowth” when it comes to “wellness.”

Thank you! Talented, smart people can come from anywhere—as can idiots. Why should privileged average talent-average smart people always get to fall upwards because they had parents rich enough to pay for the “elite” institutions. College is so incredibly expensive I no longer see degrees from elite universities as…

I agree. Also the aesthetic at times was.... odd? I mean, I get the ideas was to wear what you want and don’t worry about the male gaze, but oftentimes the outfits they posted were, I dunno, expensive thrift-store clown? Ill-fitting layer over oversized layer over WTF? Basically shit I would never see anybody actually…

I love fall. I don’t love all the commercial offerings now associated with fall—I just love the season. Growing up in Minnesota, fall was easily the most beautiful time of the year. Going for a walk in a park along the Mississippi and seeing all the colors is spectacular.

Statistically you know many women who have had an abortion. You probably respect and love them, and think they are great parents. They have not shared that personal information with you because you are a judgey ass with no empathy or understanding of science, what is happening in a person’s life, or what kinds of…

The funniest scene in all of Psych belongs to Dule Hill. The episode Office Space where he does all the physical comedy trying to get away from/clean up around his dead bosses body but keeps making it worse—-comedy gold. No matter how many times I’ve watched that scene I’m crying tears from laughing too hard. The man…

Well if it’s got Art Deco sets and pretty people wearing handsome clothes I’m there. That’s the main reason I watch Miss Fisher Mysteries and almost any Agatha Christie adaptation.

And Boom! That’s the problem right there: “the transaction.” They see it as a “transaction,” not a mutual activity that two people may choose to participate in if both are willing. Always looking for ways to “unlock” sex, as you say—as if it’s just there, in a woman’s vagina at all times, and she just needs to open…

Ok I’ll regret it, as you’ve clearly posted this because you have an agenda and are not seeking input, but I’ll bite. This take is hilarious. Especially this part: “Sexual frustration in men is probably the root cause of a vast amount of misery in this world, and every woman is wandering around with the cure trying to…

Minneapolis in the early 90s. I had an old Volvo that would occasionally lose all power and just die. The culprit was some little white plastic box full of electrical wires that would loosen when jostled too much by a bumpy road. I would regularly have to get out of the car, open the hood, jostle the white box full of…
