What???

I realize I am an old, but I've never really got it either. Most of the pictures are mediocre at best, and to me, it just felt like one more social media hole to get sucked into (I already neglect my Twitter account). But I'm also a professional photographer, so maybe I'm just a photo snob.

Well, so much the better for getting that topic out in the open early on in a relationship, right? I've heard of much sillier deal-breakers in my day.

"Overwrought" is a terrible word choice. "Overwhelmed" perhaps?

Thank you. I don't know why this year has been tough (21 years since dad passed, 4 since mom, but both around the holidays). I was finally in a good mood yesterday morning for the first day in a couple of weeks, and then this came up. I'm just hoping everyone can find some peace and joy in this season despite the…

I am so, so sorry. Here I've been feeling sorry for myself leading up to Christmas because I'm missing both of my parents, but I can only begin to imagine how truly awful it would be to lose a child. Big internet hugs to you from Baltimore.

Ugh, really? I'm so relieved that so far my Facebook feed is free of this. Otherwise, the "unfriend" button would be getting a workout.

Precisely my reaction! I nearly spit out my falafel laughing.

I seem to get that at concerts a lot. For some reason, the girl who likes to shake her long hair squeezes in front of me and whips that shit around. Keep it to your fucking self. I don't want to touch strangers' hair, and I sure as hell don't want it in my damn beer.

#COTD!

One of the things that strikes me most about this story is how the manager is too busy typing away on her phone or whatever to even feign attentiveness to the barista's concerns.

Wait, she wants people to send her money...why? She sounds like a total tool. And I say that as a runner and healthy eater, although one who is decidedly an unremarkable size in the center of the weight/size spectrum.

No, you're not starting a Kickstarter campaign to make money off of a self-imposed victimhood. I agree that you need better friends. I run and watch what I eat (athough I'm not "skinny" by modern standards, just fairly fit), and I think my heavier, more sedentary friends are happy for me that I've discovered a way to…

Re: "Having a great body does take a ton of work." Not always. My college roommate (this was 20 years ago) had and still has an insanely good body. Big boobs, slim hips, long legs, no cellulite, etc. Even after having two kids. And she's never been big on healthy eating. She has never stepped into a gym in her life.…

OK, I'm a bit of a neat/clean freak, but the bleach is going overboard for me. I actually went to use our bleach recently only to find that it is old enough that it had lost its effectiveness! I didn't even know bleach could go "bad."

It's been over 16 years since mine, and sometimes I forget all about it. I went through some times of guilt about it all, but I know I did what I needed to do at the time, for my own mental health reasons. I hope you find your kitty.

You are my new hero.
