I caught how it ends and it didn’t seem redeeming enough for what I’d seen up to that point. I may give it another shot some other time.

I started watching it each week on AMC as it aired, but then got behind when I decided to keep giving TD a chance. I didn’t even attempt to watch Ex Machina to the end. The positive reviews baffle me. My husband made it to the end, but he was so disappointed. He expressed it having a lot of tropes and it just wasn’t…

I did binge-watch this (since I was wasting my life on True Detective) and love it. My husband is on vacation this week and we’re already at episode 6 tonight. His first critique: “This is definitely better than ‘Ex Machina.’”

Hopefully, they will. It wouldn’t make sense for them to be progressive in other areas and not when it comes to this. Also, I meant to bold “could”, not boil. That looks weird.

PFFT. HA! I worked with 2 managers who were pregnant and the work/life balance was laughable. We also had an insane district manager, so it could boil down to your specific work team, but still.

Good point! Whenever I saw this around, I just wondered who the hell would touch that subway pole? Not to say that subway poles are clean now, but still....blech. Get your creams & salves, ladies.

Ditto. I’m a SAHM/college student while my husband works & I thought the same thing at first. I’m a “do nothing bitch” because I make sure that a small person is clean, fed, and has other things to do than put things into the toilet or the cat’s water bowl? After reading further, it’s clear that she’s talking about a…

They also care about their almond milk and Instagram crackers.

I know that not all daycare workers are incompetent or preoccupied to the point of child neglect. However, every time one of these stories hits the news cycle, it makes me glad that I’m a SAHM even if it is mainly because daycare is too expensive.

True, and the one time (that I can remember) that they had a Black woman in an ad, it was Nia Long. I only remember it because it was horribly done. It’s as if her legs don’t match her torso.

So you tellin’ me....

I worked at a café for 4 years and have seen things that make me wonder why I haven’t submitted anything to Behind Closed Ovens yet.

Just reading this made my eyebrows raise and I almost said, “Oh fuck no!”

This. Whoever called saw a Black woman “abandon” her kids and decided that they needed to feel better about themselves. I imagine that they watched the entire thing happen because how would the cops know who to arrest? Why didn’t this decent citizen (barf) go up to her during the interview and ask her aside just to…

The most noticeable thing for me in Ashlee Simpson’s picture are her kneecaps.

I like to follow up my okie-dokie with an artichokey just for good measure. It’s a nice combo & it works for me.

I would’ve went for early to mid-40’s, but surprised like you all the same. Now, since reading this, I can’t get his “TRIPLE D!” intro out of my head.

The spelling bee champ in me is cringing at each misspelling.
