And cats. Not to stereotype here, but single 58 year old woman with a cat. At least I only have one...for now. I, however, never wanted to get married, but I might as well be since my cat snores louder than almost any man I’ve ever been with, takes up more than his share of the bed, and he hogs the covers.

I used to think like you too, until I realized that anyone can find someone to marry. With people like us the problem comes in because we actually want to marry, you know, a decent human being.

The last guy I dated, I got to 3 dates and then he ghosted me. Literally cancelled the planned 4th date (with a decent reason at least) and then just dropped off the earth.

There’s clearly something wrong with him if he’s willing to be married to someone as awful as she is.

I think we can go coed. There will be dogs.

My sister is at home a lot right now, and she’s confirmed that, yes, a few minutes before I usually get home from work, my cat climbs out of wherever he’s been napping and goes to wait by the door for me. It fills me with joy every day.

I don’t want to see our country run like one of President Tinyhands’s businesses, since he seems to like to declare bankruptcy and walk away when things go bad.

It’s the myth of the Free Market at work. As usual. ‘The market will correct itself’, they say, and then pretend they have no idea just how that will happen. It will happen over the lives and livelihoods of people crushed by any little oopsies that require correction. The market does not give a fuck about human…

Yes. People who are all about “running government like a business” tend to ignore the fact that it was businessmen running business like a business who nearly took down the world economy in 2008, costing tens of millions of human souls their jobs, their homes, and their pensions, destabilizing the global economy and…

You want to see what happens when you “run the government like a business?” Look at the Flint water crisis. Snyder wanted to save a few millions dollars without factoring in the actual residents of the city...and now look at the millions-upon-millions of dollars they are on the hook for, now.

Businesses are run with only the bottom line and enrichment of investors/stockholders in mind.

Putting everything aside, hatred of Trump, etc., this statement just bothers me to the core:

Came here to say just that — of course you can be “under budget” if you shaft contractors out of at least a quarter of what you owe them.

“I promised the American people I would produce results, and apply my ‘ahead of schedule, under budget’ mentality to the government.”

Totally worth it, right? I’ve flown for free (or just the taxes) as a UA pass traveler to the following places: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris, London, Dublin, Frankfurt, Lisbon, Tel Aviv and probably 20+ domestic cities. The dress code isn’t all that irksome when you’re getting a free ticket to the world.

Inexperienced pass travelers...I’m often torn between feeling sorry for them and being frustrated when they don’t know what they’re doing.

I once pass traveled United on a transatlantic red-eye. I knew before I caught my connecting flight that it was going to be a loooooong day of travel, possibly made longer if I got bumped because of a full flight. I took a chance and showed up at the airport in yoga pants and a hoodie, knowing full well that I might…

Because you have to inform the airline when you’re trying to fly on one of these passes. They then add your name to the system and this pass is the LAST priority. Only when people from bumped or canceled flights get seats do these passengers get a seat. I had a roommate in college fly this way all the time and she…

That makes sense. It is ridiculous they harassed a child about her clothes, but I still think it’s not the big deal the headline makes it out to be.

I’m really not sure how this became such an object of rage, other than the ham-handed social media specialist who did a poor job of replying to the initial dust-up on Twitter. As explained, if they were flying on their own dime, they could wear whatever they want to wear. If the airline is supplying them with free…
