I feel you. Thanksgiving and Christmas almost made me cry. It seemed like everyone was so happy and could afford so much food and had so much family around...I felt so badly I couldn’t do much for my family. We live in a pretty small apartment and can barely afford that. I need to buy my little brother a bed and…

Divorce really does a number on your self esteem.

Fellow divorcee here children help distract you from some of the worse side effects or at least mine did. Beware of other parents they can be real pricks to single parents.

I keep trying to remind myself that. And I know there’s nothing wrong with an apartment. I should be grateful I can afford that. It’s just seeing their houses and the nice furniture and remodeled kitchens and feeling like I’m the sad poor friend. It’s just been a bad week of feeling sorry for myself. I keep telling…

Here’s Joe Bruin, going for a hike.

Facebook can really bum a person out. We’re always comparing our lives to other people’s lives, but on FB, the people who have it all are definitely going to post about it.

Just remember they are showing you the best parts of their lives. While you see your whole life. There’s nothing wrong with living in an apartment with your kids.

I eloped yesterday! It was small and quick as hell and awesome.

I know social media isn’t the full story of anyone’s life but lately it seems like my Facebook feed is full of people taking trips-to Ireland, Hawaii, Disney World, New York, etc. Or they’re selling houses and moving into nicer houses. Or they’re all schmoopy about anniversaries. Meanwhile I’m contemplating divorce,…

I went to the Houston Science March! It was packed! And hot. I was happy to see so many people there!

I know you’re trying to make a joke but, truly, in flying hundreds of hours across the globe, I’ve never witnessed babies and children behaving anywhere near as badly as most adults. And even babies or make a fuss (when forced to travel in a small eardrum-splitting tube with no sense of agency or control over their…

The bigger issue, which also was the main reason the United incident descended to the horrific levels it did, is that in the post-9/11 era, airline employees are essentially given carte blanche to make any demands/orders of passengers that they deem “necessary” for “safety,” knowing full well they can call on the…

I agree. It’s the baby’s fault.

Yeah, used to be you could hit a mother with her child’s stroller and she’d apologize to you for getting in her way!

LOL! 86'ed out an emergency exit.

I am just waiting to see what Delta does to top this. I’m going to go with “ deliberate execution of a service animal in the middle of a flight”

My theory is that air crew walk around with this giant chip on their shoulder because deep down they know they are nothing more than trumped up serving staff. Sure, they wear a natty uniform and go to ‘training seminars’ in far flung exotic locations, but at the end of the day it’s back to getting me a double martini,…

I wonder what the comment on their customer file is.

Melania is straight out of the Trump myth-making machine, just like every other Trump. His daughter is a “brilliant confident successful business wizard” (runs a knock-off clothes, shoes and handbag company daddy paid for). His sons are “successful executives” (mouth-breathing cretins given easy cushy jobs courtesy of…

What the hell would that dimwit do with an eleven year old boy? No one in their right mind would grant him custody no matter how rich he is. The guy can barely string together a coherent sentence.
