My stepsister had to evacuate in the middle of the night with no electricity. She couldn’t see stuff to grab it. She was lucky she could even find her purse. (Fortunately, she had no pets.)

My stepsister woke up in the middle of the night to no electricity, heavy smoke, and wind blowing her patio furniture everywhere. She heard neighbors screaming that everyone had to get out and with no electricity it was all she could do to find her purse. She and her boyfriend fled with nothing more than that, her…

I think for a lot of people, they are the same.

I literally once responded to being dumped by saying “OK” and walking out. Now that I think about it, I don’t know I don’t always respond that way. There’s no negotiating yourself out of dumped, I never believe any explanation they give, and there’s nothing to be gained by sticking around and dragging it out. The…

I don’t know the hierarchy at SLC PD but a demotion from lieutenant to officer sounds like a huge drop in status. Part of me feels like this is even better than firing because he’s being humiliated every single day he reports to work.

The article I read about this earlier today (WaPo? I don’t remember) also noted that Payne was adjudicated a sexual harasser earlier in his career.

I feel like I’ve seen this happen to a lot of terms.

When the word “mansplaining” started appearing, I had a terrible time figuring out what it meant. When I finally did, I realized my confusion was because I’ve had women do it to me just as often as men, possibly more.

You work in HR, don’t you? ;)

By the way, as far as I’m concerned all of the friends that were on the porch when Oliver started berating Jordan are culpable too. I know it’s awkward to get in between 2 people who are ‘dating or whatever’ and maybe having a lovers’ quarrel, but at some point all you have to do is be like “hey man, calm down it…

I may be a hick living in Cowpietown, but my commute is a breeze.

I hope their headphones are sturdier than their wifi speakers. I’ve purchased two and both stopped working properly within a year. The first one even went back to Bose for servicing and then only worked for a month before stopping again.

I was eliminated from a spelling bee in 1986 for spelling it amuck. A competitor who did that today would advance. The only difference is that sometime between 1986 and 2005 (when I checked), “they” decided wrong was right now. So I have a personal ax to grind.

I have deeply conflicted feeling over accepted alternate spellings. Yeah, yeah, yeah, living language. Except it turns out it’s “living” because when so many people are wrong, the dictionary just decides to make wrong right. This pains me.

I know why it happens, but I hate seeing “should of,” “could of,” and “would of.”

Introverts unite! Individually, in our own homes!

When I was a child those flying devil monkeys scared the shit out of me.

It may seem glamorous

I handle my department’s social media and confusing work with personal accounts is something I’ve literally had nightmares about. I would consider this gaffe nowhere near as bad as it could have been. :)

Probably also feels some survivor guilt and plain guilt guilt (people died because they wanted to see him play.) I’d need some time off, too.
