We decided tonight since we are staying home instead of heading to family that we would save the turkey for Christmas and everyone gets to pick one of their favorites foods. So the menu is as follows so far: meatloaf, edamame, strawberry pretzel salad, poutine and baked apples for dessert. 

Aww, Ina’s roast chicken is always a good idea :) I’m totally jealous you get to see her in person. She seems like she must be genuinely delightful in-person.

(Sorry, no pictures - trying to share the fuzziness is making Chrome crash.)

I’m an absolute wreck at the moment... My dad was in a motorbike accident on Friday. He is in the hospital with his pelvis broken in 4 places, tailbone in 2, bruised bladder, torn urethra, a heap of gravel rash and the top of his ear torn off. Thank God he was wearing all his protective gear! But I'm so stressed and…

Ok, here’s the deal Jez fam. I’ve hit my fifth decade, the hubz went into a psych unit for suicidal ideation about six months back. Since we have kiddos, I sent him to relatives after because I legit fear he would do a murder suicide - he is textbook NPD - and life has been SO MUCH BETTER. Except, sex. There wasn’t…

Yeah, I'm going to need that newsletter, too. Because even on the internet, I could always use more cat-related content.

When a woman who is successful because she is rich and privileged gives advice that can only be heeded if you yourself are rich enough to hire a nanny and a housekeeper, at the same time refusing to acknowledge that there is something wrong with the current sexism of corporate culture, then yes, the rest of us will…

Providing low-priced competition to eliminate the pink tax, and promoting body positivity by providing well fitting bras in more sizes does a lot to support feminism. 

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I don’t expect anyone to cater to my personal life choices. That’s why I got out and did my own thing. Which was the point of my comment...

Trump Jr. got engaged at a mall in Short Hills, N.J., as part of a publicity stunt for a jewelry store.

There is a big swell of “female empowerment” movements going on that all have this shitty ethos. If you’re not succeeding, it’s all your fault and you just need to sacrifice more and work harder. It’s part of the schtick MLMs are selling (check out the podcast “The Dream” if you want to learn all about MLMs), it’s…

The people who use Facebook as a news source also happen to be the people who’re the most easily duped. In my experience, primarily the older generations (like my Baby Boomer parents)... but a couple of my peers (early 40s) also forward every sensational article they come across, with no attempt to verify whether it’s…

Remember a few years ago when everyone thought Sheryl Sandberg was the shit?

I love my Instant Pot and I don’t care if that further cements my Basic AF status. My household has two working adults with 40 min commutes and two kiddos. The IP is a lifesaver. Especially since I am TERRIBLE about remembering to take things out in the morning to defrost.

No I saw it he karate chopped her arm and broke all of her arms and now she’s in critical condition thoughts and prayers

It is. I am divorced after 20+ yrs...love living alone. Got a doggie.

C’mon, he is the poor man’s Springsteen. I think it’s even on his plaque at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Depends on what’s going on. Respiratory: hot clear liquids until I slosh (tea, chicken broth (from a kosher deli or homemade), hot water with honey and something very acidic), fruit juice and Mucinex. Gastrointestinal: tea and toast, crackers, rice, water, homemade Pedialyte if necessary.
