You could also keep a first-generation Kindle around and not connect it to the internet, and basically keep a backup of all the ebooks you’ve bought/borrowed over the years on it....

I read my favorite books over and over and over and over and over....

What madness is this? I love green beans. I love how Marie Callender’s and The Habit have green bean fries -- they’re breaded differently, but are both delicious! I have also thrown fresh green beans into Filipino dishes like nilaga (a beef stew with potatoes and whatever vegetables you want) with great success. I was…

That’s what I thought!

Your writing makes me laugh, and I feel like you’re a fellow parent who I could be friends with. I am not a sports person, but I read your takes. I was truly concerned when I heard you had had some sort of medical emergency, which I only found out about because I was annoyed that the Hater’s Guide to the…

I’ve been experiencing more frequent breakdowns and headaches due to generally only getting about 5 hours of sleep a night for the past two years. I’M SO TIRED. So I went to mental health services at Kaiser where I live, and was truthful about my situation, that I was crying more often, having very occasional suicidal…

I love how your daughter reacted! Glad you could empathize with her fangirl moment.

He’s also the kid from Jurassic World, which was in 2015. Kid literally shot up and slimmed down in 4 years and it makes wonder what I’m in for when my three boys hit puberty.

The first half of this article was like deja vu...oh, right, I literally read this take over the weekend, at Slate, I believe.

I agree that Black Widow didn’t get enough of a memorial at the end. And Captain Marvel was literally the muscle, the cavalry that came in at key points. But I do not agree that, collectively,…

Just for Mother’s Day?

What people are stuffing down their gullets is so important. First, drink water. Maybe its coffee. Or it’s tea. But it’s still mostly water (unless it’s half coffee creamer), so it still counts. Sodas are SO BAD. I don’t understand how people can get through a day drinking all soda. I also am always aghast at kids who…

Gee whiz, you never hear this kind of negative blowback when it comes to Captain America’s undercover beard, or Thor’s Ragnarok haircut. Her hair is straighter! She’s wearing makeup! She looks 20 years older....20 years later! THE OUTRAGE.

I can kind of tell I need a night guard (and I do have one of the dentist-issued ones) because when I don’t wear it to sleep, my jaw aches like a mother (part of the reason why I grind my teeth) the next morning. However, I have to wonder if my dentist also saw an opportunity because I have PPO insurance, which I…

Aw, newborn poop was so much easier than toddler poop. Hello, blowout city!

Ever feel like you might be an asshole?

My church mom’s mother has the beginning stages of dementia, and I wish I were close enough to be able to bring her to do this, because I know she’d love it.

I feel you. My third kid was born just a few days after The Winter Soldier came out and I could not go see it because C-sections suck.

I see what you did there. Well played.

The photos referenced in the Today article were great. I would totally buy those. But when the photographer obviously didn’t try to get a nice smile or expression out of the kid, and then it’s the optional spring photos (the fall ones go in the yearbook), I say they’re optional. It gets pricey buying those Lifetouch…

It looked like he was trying to get it back for his kid.
