To add to your info...

I used to work at a TGIFridays in a very WASPy, very religious area. I had at least two after-church tables that felt the need to scold me for working on Sunday.

We knew that a couple weeks ago, when this poll was released:

You may have seen this by now, but Christine Baranski wants to play Betsy DeVos, which is perfect.

Oh my god. Dolt 45.

I live in Michigan, knew of Dick Posthumus, and I still read it that way.

I saw a study a few months before the election that tested people for several different elements of their personality and saw how it aligned to their political views.

I was once talking with a friend that if god did exist, he wouldn’t look like a human. He’d be like something you’d see in Star Trek: a massive, floating, shapeless, translucent blob. Maybe sparkly. Maybe he’d have lightning storms in his squishy center.

The problem I have with “thank goodness” is that it sounds like something a conservative-in-every-way person would say. Someone who doesn’t watch violent movies. Someone who blushes if someone says “breast” in a medical context. Someone refuses the champagne toast at a wedding because they don’t drink at all.

Oooh, good idea!

My grandfather was a gentle giant. His slow decline with Alzheimers took over a decade, but even then I wasn’t prepared when I first learned he attacked a nurse.

Dammit, now you’re going to make me binge “The IT Crowd” again. I have 20+ other shows to finish!

I also picture him doing this like he’s in a spy movie. Ducking behind armoires, slinking into doorways.

Sorta related: a couple years ago my mom and I saw a documentary made by a young Chinese immigrant, who searched for an American family that wanted to bring all of of the jobs back to the US. He challenged the family to spend the entire Christmas season without buying or using a single thing made in China. They…

I love that this week we’ve heard a lot from both the administration and its supporters, talking about getting rid of the “PC” titles on laws and the like and how it was time we stopped doing that. “Tell it like it is!”

Every night at 8:30 EST (I go to bed after midnight) I take a break from the internet. No Facebooking, no news, no nothing. I figure not much major breaking news will happen after that time, and if it does I’m sure someone will text me about it. Then I can spent a few hours doing chores or doing fun tasks without all…

I live in a house built in the 1800s. The storage situation is dismal at best. I have one tiny walk-in closet in the bedroom. There is one small cupboard in the bathroom and the sink is a pedestal so I can’t even hide toilet paper. Even the kitchen in my apartment, which I’ve been told was made in the 1930s, has only…

In my dad’s family the girls actually waited on their brothers

Lucky. My mother was a twin so I’m hella screwed.

That wording got me as well. Is that what he’s going to do when some big disaster—man-made or “act of God”—hits?
