It’s very touching, I was getting all choked up again. I’m definitely going to rewatch the whole series this summer.

Karen Glenn was always churning butter and hoarding peaches like a champ, and her husband Mark just could not appreciate her shining star frontiersmanship. Gordon Clune, on the other hand, was just a straight-up Rich Dick, but he did manage to at least get his entire family drunk on moonshine to help them through the…

Right? Is this supposed to be like “The Real Housewives of TVLand?” Because hell, even Sally Draper taught me on Mad Men 60s teens weren’t doing what they were told. Does this all take place in Connecticut and the husbands have apartments in the city ‘for those late meetings’? And the wives in Osining are fine with…

Fucking fabulous!

Well, I totally support your usual, fuck-right-off self and whatever you might have said if you were not trying to heed your mother’s request. On a day that isn’t mother’s day, I might ask your mom why standing up for yourself with people who are rude is such an embarrassing thing for her? Is she uncomfortable…

My mom stopped speaking to me last December because my aunt - her twin sister - decided she needed to stir up some shit and tell my mom something I said about my parents on FB. My mother is so fucking stupid that she never wondered why her own sister couldn’t wait to tell her something that would hurt her feelings.

Just make them feel stupid: “Well that’s a silly question. I ate more food/got diagnosed/stopped going to the gym. Obviously!” I love making people feel dumb for saying inappropriate shit.

I have a couple of blue tits nesting in my moulding, little buggers have dug in a bit but sadly I found a little body on my decking the other day, poor little thing. One of the parents watched me dispose of the body, felt very strange, they are such shy little birds.

So cute! I hope you do get a third batch!

I love to watch critters eating! I was watching a chipmunk eating an apple the other day and it was adorbs. What are y’all drinking? I have a large glass of sauv blanc. Tomorrow is mother’s day and a really bad day for so many of us for so many reasons! For me, my mother was abusive in all the ways (narcissistic…

Baby hummingbird update! Momma has relocated and only comes back for feedings. Babies keep each other warm and sit with beaks pointing up to protect themselves. We think they’ll be grown and flown within the next week-10days. We love having them around, and hopefully we’ll get a third batch once they’re gone. (I…

I think William and Catherine have done an excellent job with making the monarchy relevant to modern day society. So has the Queen, actually. Some examples: The Queen changed the Succession to the Crown Act so that a female heir to the throne isn’t bumped down the line in the event of the birth of a male sibling (she…

My sister has endo - took almost 10 years to diagnose, and no doctor or specialist will approve surgery to remove reproductive organs because she’s in her 20s. Surgery to remove adhesions was largely unsuccessful, and bad reactions to anethestic make her hesitate to go through it again with such poor results... She’s…

Once a man kicked my pit bull puppy and said she needed to to toughen up. I pushed him into traffic then called the police. He was arrested for running a dog fighting ring in the neighborhood over.

Agreed. Basically, his lease is up now, as it were, and he needs to go. Give him a strict deadline and timetable to be gone and stick to it. Gce him notice in writing. If he thinks you’re bluffing and doesn’t move out by the day, then get some friends to help you put all his stuff at the curb and change the locks,…

Sounds to me like he was asking for it.

Found out that someone I care about has an aggressive form of brain cancer. He has a young family and a happy life and it’s so unfair. I know it’s not over till it’s over, but I am hurting so much for him and his family. Why can’t the evil shitheads of the world get cancer instead?

Once upon a time, Big Foot was a kid with undiagnosed mental health issues, wildly misplaced anger issues and a broken heart over the sudden loss of her father. She was a behavior issue, a safety issue and an emotional time bomb in one seething package.

What a fucking jerk! I’m sorry that happened, and that it still has you feeling down (although I totally get it). For what it’s worth: losing 80 pounds is a huge deal, and so is getting stronger. I bet you looked great! I think that’s some cool shit and you are entirely justified in being proud of yourself. And in…

When it finally came time to end slavery in the United States, it took the lives of 360,000 well-armed, well-trained American soldiers and the blood, sweat, and sacrifice of countless more. It took warships and cannons and supply lines.
