Well I live in Bay Ridge and if I want to go to Boerum Hill to go to my favorite cheese shop the easiest thing is to take the R to the F/G at 4th Avenue-9th Street.

Felicity Huffman and most of the other people implicated in this case have already served their full sentence and are moving on with their lives. Does Aunt Becky really think she’s making things better by dragging this out? In a year or so, most people will likely forget why Felicity Huffman was in jail, but the…

Plus the Romance languages spell lemon “limon,” so it’s all whatever. 

I’ve seen more than one 3+ hour play without complaint, but I cannot fathom watching a movie that long. Maybe because there’s no intermission and it’s hard to stay focused when I’m at home watching Netflix. 

Beyoncé also discusses finding balance between her kids, her husband, and her career: “I think that’s life for any working mom.”

Ooof, that’s way harsh. I didn’t even want to bring up the possibility of adopting, saying that maybe THAT was God’s plan for her and a child she’d adopt.

This sounds exactly like my cousin. Luckily she lives in California and I’m in New York, so I almost never have to see her in person. She and her husband also crowdfunded their fertility treatments, and I spent a lot of time in therapy unpacking how I felt about that.

I have a cousin who is anti-vax and doesn’t believe in evolution, but she and her husband relied HARD on IVF and other fertility treatments to get pregnant. How do I tell her she can’t pick and choose which scientific advancements to fall in line with?

My sister started drinking this morning and had a meltdown at my mother’s and left before dinner. It ruined everyone’s Thanksgiving equally. 

After watching the documentary (again, from the comfort of my couch and a box of tissues), I’m not surprised Fred found farts funny. There were points in that show where his sense of humor surprised me - someone found his camera and took a picture of their bare ass; Fred made it poster-size and gifted it to them for…

Well I’m not sure what kind of content you expect from a cheese store’s Instagram page.

I hate this game where you ask someone younger to name something that was popular before they were alive or a sentient human being. The better game for showing awareness should be “Can you name your Senators and Congressional Representative?”

I don’t know, I think the script is a great way for people to see what kind of thing would be appropriate to say. Some people don’t know how to say no to friends, so even if they wind up saying something completely different than that script, at least they have a place to start.

My roommate moved here from Indiana and refuses to wear a puffy coat or winter boots that don’t have a wedge. It boggles my mind.

Even if they have “given away” in the philanthropic sense, that is a tax loophole! If you’re a billionaire, the smart thing to do IS give through a foundation, because then there is an official point person keeping track of how the money goes out. But you aren’t taxed at the same rate then, the money sits and gains…

The House on Mango Street is ostensibly a YA novel (or a YA collection of inter-related short stories, I suppose) that I think should be assigned at a university level. But I do think something like that is more of the exception than the rule.

He doesn’t care. He’s alive (in theory?) and that’s what matters.

My whole life is like a sad Edward Hopper painting.

My laundromat always has ABC on the televisions, and usually when I go on Wednesday nights, I watch Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune and The Goldbergs. A few weeks ago I had to go on a Monday night and was INFURIATED that Dancing with the Stars was on. What a terrible night at the laundromat that was.

I feel like gymnastics is even more challenging, because you only have such a small window to compete at the elite level anyway. Katie Ledecky may never go a best time ever again, but she could still compete at the most elite level through at least the 2024 Games, barring any catastrophe.
