It is sad that I know this but morbid curiosity led me to her Instagram a few days ago and they appear to be at some country estate so I’m guessing that’s where this picture is taken, and the wood burning fireplace makes more sense if that’s the case. Not that she deserves a wood burning fireplace in a country estate…

The thing is if it’s true, this would have actually been a humanizing thing for Trump to have acknowledged and been in front of. And if it was the impetus for Melania’s anti-bullying campaign -it would have made a lot more sense and made her a more sympathetic figure. I agree, this is a private thing if they choose,…

My 2 year old didn’t even flinch when she got hers. And this was a week after she got a staple in her head with no numbing medicine and didn’t even notice. And she’s a big cry baby. My 9 year old complained for a week that her arm hurt. But, I live in Austin and a few years ago a healthy child in our neighborhood got…

My friend - who is nearly despondent at the results of this election - lived in MA when Romney was governor and said he wasn’t bad. She didn’t vote for him but she thought it wouldn’t have been the apocalypse if he’d won the presidency.

How about Everybody Knows, seems more appropriate at this moment.

There’s an awesome episode of Revisionist History Podcast that focuses on the evolution of the song and the book about it.

The Department of Education just opened a Federal Title IX investigation so there’s a very good chance they will get punished.

Actually they are speaking now because they just retained a new PR firm that told them the approach they’ve been taking - staying mum, pretending FERPA prevented them from talking, etc. isn’t working, people aren’t going to just ignore what’s going on and quietly go away.

EVERYONE who has signed the Giving Pledge is automatically more attractive than Trump.

No need to reanimate him, Ken Starr’s very much alive and in need of a job after being fired for spending the last several years covering up sexual assaults at Baylor. 

Yes, clearly these women are opportunists, but how can we blame them - who could resist the urge to take advantage of the opportunity to be slut shamed, degraded, and reviled publicly. 

I live in Texas and at my daughter’s 8 year old well child visit our pediatrician asked if we’d had a gun conversation with her. I told her we don’t keep guns in our house and she said “This is Texas, she WILL come into contact with a gun at some point.”

As a divorced parent, I would guess that the request for sole physical custody has more to do with logistics than anything else in this case. Sole physical custody is really more about having the ability to determine where the child is going to live, go to school, etc. From what I’ve read about them over the years,…

I love when the Tom thing blew up Sonja just says - not really to anyone in particular - are we supposed to be surprised that he did this?

There’s a prescription lice solution called Ulesfia that is awesome. It’s a benzyl alcohol solution in lotion that uses the benzyl alcohol to force the lice’s spiricles to remain open and thus suffocated by the lotion. It’s not a pesticide lice can become resistant to and you just need two applications a week apart to…

I don’t think it’s fair to blame the Gaines for the tax issues downtown. I just moved from Waco and I’ve lived in a number of other cities and what seemed immediately obvious was that Waco does not have very good or effective city planners. To increase the taxes to the businesses downtown because now there’s some…

I lived in Waco for two years and just moved away. I don’t know Chip and Joanna but we did look at a house that ended up on the show and our vet was on season 1. Anywhoo, I will say they probably seem like super serious Christians for anyone who lives outside a Baptist stronghold but they are very typical for Texas.…

As someone who manages people, here’s the bottom line. If you are spending your time as a manager nitpicking people’s clothes and other petty crap, you’re not getting the best work out of them. So what this manager has now done is create a disruption in the office and made sure at least this employee (and probably…

Did you see that clip of Hassan Minahj speaking to members of Congress and essentially saying - the NRA has given you $3 million, if we give you $3 million, will you then take action to protect us?

The thing that gets me is that the anti-vax movement see the choice as risk vs. no risk when in reality it’s risk vs. risk. There is a risk of vaccine injury, it is small but it is real (and does NOT include Autism). So you have to weigh that risk against the risk of your child contracting a vaccine preventable…
