Can I co-sign that thanks to Mr. Policastro? As a devout Christian, I was still unaware of some of those organizations. I’m always looking for more LGBT-affirming Christian groups to support, so that list is very helpful.

The country would be at least the slightest bit better a place if people only knew the definition of the word “franchise”.

Yep, it’s called taxis, uber or friend. You just pulled Pinkham’s law. Congrats.

Its just a human body part

“Line of site to the nearest tower was obstructed by nothing more than a few leaves; what do you expect?”

I think the man was smart in calling a news station who could broadcast his predicament to 911 and others. Not sure how many people would think to do that. Did you hear how clever and calm he was? That’s no “hurr da durr” dummy.

I will take any excuse to post this. I watch it over and over and over when I’m in a mood. Watch for the awkwardly dancing models, stay for the joy of Alber Elbaz butting in at the end.

Champers for everyone. (except Saffy, of course)

Edina would insisted on having the show titled “The Real Housewives of Holland Park Not Sheperd’s Bush”

I sense that you are younger than I. So, take care, my young friend. All good wishes.

Thank you. I just try to wake up every day being an old woman on a pension who really has nothing to lose because I don’t have anything Also a person who hates discounting other people. I have been alive for some decades and do not want others to record our years incorrectly. I really no longer care about being…

I was ~10 years too young to be very cognizant of what was going on at the time, but Steinem and Friedan were still household names while I was growing up. My big sister left all the Steinem & Friedan books (and Our Bodies Ourselves) lying around the house, where precocious little cavegirls could read them— so I have…

What a weird biography of a man I had no interest in learning about, but greatly fascinated me when reading about him. Really good long read Shaun and totally unexpected from Deadspin. You briefly mention Oscar Bonavena. He’s someone who also had an interesting life that would make a great long read.

A book of ettiquete would have been an acceptable gift.

Fuck that bitch. Come sit by me and we can hang out and eat mozzarella sticks.

I gave each of my maids small Waterford crystal vases and wrote them cards. There was a small shower, the dresses were pretty basic, and that was that. Of course, this was before the explosion of Big Wedding, Inc. My awesome sister as a thank you for being her MOH and throwing her a very nice bridal brunch sent me a…

Great point about the slew of gifts that couples receive— Perhaps the bridesmaid got her a very nice shower gift and thought that covered it. Or maybe she realized her childhood friend was actually the worst and spent the money on a flask to help her get through the wedding day.
