Perfection.

At the risk of being repetitive, I LOVE THIS SERIES. I have never worked in food services (by design, my dad owned restaurants, I saw how painful it was for my sisters and I said a hearty, no fucking thank you). Seriously, all of the tips for all of you folks out there that deal with the jackasses on the regular. And…

Guh! No, this one is a guy. I chose not to engage, it was a draining enough thread, but that makes me part of the problem, doesn't it?

Yesterday one of my twitter friends (someone I actually know IRL) complained about all of the "militant feminism" that took twitter over yesterday. Apparently, women telling candid stories about their fear, harassment, discrimination, etc is now considered "militant feminism". Stories like this, I guess, aren't…

Even under those circumstances, where everyone is equal, everyone is a partner. E-gads. What a strong illustration of the issue. Thanks for sharing.

Your second point, 100%. My BF works from home, I work outside of the home. His friend came over and made some comment about the dog hair tumbleweeds in the hallway. I was mortified. I said how embarrassed I was and BF said "why should you be embarrassed, I'm the one home 24/7, it's my fault". I said, "not a chance in…

I'm an a'murican and have started using partner to represent my boyfriend. Reason being, he's laid up after a serious injury so I have to go to the pharmacy once a week. Every week it's "what is your relationship to him" and being in my early 40's, I'm with you, 'boyfriend' when I'm fetching serious narcotics just…

A friend of mine is called Kale and he's gotta be in his late 30's by now. I knew him before I knew of the leafy green so I never questioned it. Definitely not a family of hipsters (or whatever hipsters were in the late 70's), either.

I missed "Lard" the first time so I was able to enjoy a solid fresh laugh TWICE. I thank you.

I don't even understand the level of crazy that people get to in these circumstances. One thing, you asked for ONE THING. And I'm assuming it wasn't the priceless Renoit. With my mom it was like this weird secret event that I wasn't a part of. I didn't even really know it was going on just that I got nothing out of…

There is a lot of truth there. Thank you :).

Yup. I was bitter for years. I have no idea how it came to pass those days of grief and cleaning out the house but it sure stung. It's highly possible it was my mom's call, she knew she was dying, but that hurts more so I choose to believe they were all just selfish and I was young and dumb.

When my mom died I was 19 and my much older sisters and SILs (and two nieces) ended up with most of the "good" jewelry. My dad found out years later and handed me two pieces that he had kept because they were actually special, not fancy. I'm so proud and touched to have those items! YOU for sure came away with the…

Lost my mother when I was 19 and, for the record, I'm with you. Fuck anyone that wants to begrudge you and your family a day that you celebrate and enjoy. I'm happy to take the oppty to publicly remember my mom and thank my sisters for raising such great kids.

I have been wondering what it's like to have zero ACTUAL problems. I guess this is what happens at that point.

One of my friends had a girls only 40th birthday party at a dualing piano bar. She was single and a little sad about it so she decided to make it a GNO. We all knew the rule and why. I drove down 400 miles to attend, leaving my boyfriend at the sports bar next door. In walks one of our HS friends, who lives in the…

sharing with my social network of dog lovers. Good luck!!!

I'm so excited!

I'm so disappointed in myself that I didn't catch VM real time. I may have to watch it a couple times to make up for my poor viewing habits....

I'm trapped in the 24 vortex via Amazon Prime. But it's sooo goooood!
