In the kitchen and bath business you have to work with contractors and architects. I trust neither as far as I can throw them. Contractors, at least here in NYC, tend to be shady af—trying to pack too many jobs into their calendars so they never have a down day and never admitting when they don’t know how to do…

Former kitchen and bath designer here. The cabinetry is also basic af, but the stone tho. That deep Statuary apron on the island alone would set you back and extra $10,000 easy.

I blame this guy. No I don’t...I love it!

No, peak Tom Cruise is Top Gun. Or is that peak Val Kilmer? Who cares...give me the volleyball scene...or a locker room scene. I’ll be in my bunk.

That seems to be the point—the fentanyl and what it was paired with seem to be tip off for folks who know more about prescription pill abuse. My experience with addicts is all booze and street drugs. Most addicts are high functioning...until they’re not. Nor do I think they her being an addict makes her death less…

As someone who lost their partner last year, I can’t tell you how exhausting dealing with everyone’s assumption that you are absolutely shattered is. No one means it to be but since so few of your peers (Patton has about a decade on me) have any idea what it’s like to loose a partner or a spouse, no one has any idea…

Nah! More than a few recovering folks in my life (e.g.father and best friend). Most folks in recovery don’t care if you drink around them unless they are dry drunks. My friend doesn’t want you to change your behavior for her—that makes her feel like more a freak.

Please to tell us why Micheal B Jordan is dubious...Fassbender gives off a dubious aura. That one I get.

So I have a friend who is also a pilot and apparently the community of folks who fly small planes is small enough and they run into each other enough at the same tiny airports that gossip about even semi-famous pilots rips through that workd like wildfire. Maybe 10 years ago, he dumped a small plane out in the middle…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I blame that bitch for taking Michael Clarke Duncan from us!

Having just had to deal with a sudden death of my partner at 48 for drug and alcohol related issues, this is 100% standard. Tox screens always take forever. But, if foul play is not suspected the body can be claimed within 24 hours typically. No reason the funeral couldn’t already have been arranged...unless money…

So much this, Kara. I have been an activist with PP since 2009. Doing the boring-ass work of training on legislative agendas, staying awake through board meetings and giving out information at neighborhood health fairs. We train potential volunteers for 6 hours before they can help out a most events and we can’t…

Well yeah...since they took my MHP away. I saw Maddow at my subway station sans make-up in jeans and button-down. Hawt! I have told that story to so many people my friends stop me midway through—yeah we know.

Michael Steele was on AM Joy this morning and he and Joy agreed: you DO NOT come for Michelle Obama and you DO NOT come for John Lewis if you have two brain cells to rub together.

Word! I saw all of these fanboys rankings of the Netflix MCU shows and they had both seasons of Daredevil before Luke Cage and Jessica Jones...and I don’t think we could possibly have been watching the same shows. Jessica Jones is far superior to both Daredevils and so is Luke Cage, even if the hero is as boring af.

Have you watched The Hollow Crown? Margaret of Anjou enjoys the hell out of being the queen to a simpering, martyrdom-hungry Henry VI. She gets to be the queen and fuck the Duke of Somerset. Good times.

Can confirm after almost running into him to my at my old gig. Much taller than I expected and very smiley....and kinda floppy and muppet-y. Sweet and non-threateningly cute. Not my bag.

He sat next to my late partner and his son at Piper’s Kilt up on 207 and Broadway about 10-15 years ago. He inhaled two burgers and talked baseball with them the whole time (my partner’s son was in his Piper’s Kilt little league uniform). That was one of my partner’s best memories!

The NY Mag article about Lenny is fascinating because he was a conspiracy theorist and a 9/11 truther himself before Sandy Hook . The picture it paints of Lenny is not terribly rosy. But now he really is trying to fight the good fight from within the consipracist community. Shockingly...few are paying him any heed.

I watched Sense and Sensibility a few days after he died. It.wrecked.me. I still haven’t gone back to Truly Madly Deeply yet.
