It’s so funny because I was active in the ‘08 election and my daughter got to see a lot close up (I have the cutest pics of her at rallies and campaign events). She remembers Clinton as a candidate (we made sure she watched her amazing glass ceiling speech), which means in her mind she has never known of a political…

Though he also has very good moments, Bernie has a reputation for being gruff and lecturing his peers, which does does come across during the debates. I always think the finger wagging is a terrible look. What I do like about the debates is they always refer to each other by their respective titles, Secretary and…

So many of us get cynical that it’s so great to see I’m not the only one who gets excited when it’s time to vote. I’ll never forget the feeling of voting for President Obama, I was so moved, and my daughter was in the booth with me so she could help cast that historic vote. I get so fed up by people who can’t be…

That was why I was genuinely disappointed in Sanders when he went with the “unqualified” charge. Disagree with her on policy and point out mistakes she’s made, that is fair, but she is in no way unqualified, as he has had to clarify.

Wait wait wait. Wait. Wait wait. Wait. I...but what...how why...no matzo ball soup? I don’t even...how? I do love matzo brie, especially with apple sauce (same for you or different topping?), it is my go-to lunch during Pesach and can’t imagine making it through the holiday without it, but no matzo balls?? I can’t…

Well, 4 MANDATORY glasses, but no where is it limited to 4. I’ve never been the type to only do the bare minimum!

It is so hard a job, and it never ends. My daughter is a teen now, and it’s a constant struggle, especially as classmates fall into awful and unhealthy gender dynamics. A few girls in class recently tried to pressure her to go out with a boy she doesn’t like, because “he’s nice and he likes her, so you have to give…

I love it too. Partly because I have great seder memories (mostly wholesome, some less so) and partly because I love the traditions. My daughter was the one doing the 4 questions for years and I already miss that now that she’s a teen. Do you use a real Haggadah and do the songs and everything?

Isn’t all model building just an excuse to sniff glue?

Wedding or horseradish, either way the good ones involve tears.

He built models, of the U.N.?

No, it’s easy to forget Chase was only on the first year and a half. The women he did work with did not have good things to say, though neither did the men for that matter. I still love the story where Bill Murray fights him

That cracked me up, because I actually did propose with a ring pop. I also had a real ring for her, but she still has the ring part of the pop (she ate the candy) in her jewelry box.

I think part of it is that after eight years of embarrassing moments and anti-intellectualism in the White House, a funny intellectual is the course correction so many of us thought we needed.

She absolutely fed off of sympathy and attention and reaction. The Ted Nugent one was crazy to me, particularly because the Nuge was the one she chose to elaborate on. The day I met her, I was on a smoke break with a friend and she came outside and lit up next to us. I was telling him about my cousin who is a lesbian…

You have more endurance than I, I give you a star for your accomplishment. I skipped around hoping it would draw me in later. Nope. Though maybe it was my fault, I assumed “Oversharing at Work” would be about oversharing at work.

When I was working in college I had a coworker who told everyone everything; I heard her complain to the Alhambra delivery guy about having to wait for results on an std test. One of the craziest was when I got back from spring break and was catching up with everyone, I asked her what she’d been up to, she replied
“I…

That’s understandable, there have been some good, even excellent, ones on here. The concept is good, but like so many things in life, it’s about the execution.

Me too. I used to have a TREMENDOUSLY oversharing co-worker (I still recall way too many details of her life) and was hoping that with the article my in-office lunch just got more fun. And then...not so much. I say we correct the situation and make this thread Overshare Stories, I think we are all due! I’d start but…

I got a little further in, though at that point I was just treating it as an endurance exercise.
