You know, a lot of people say this, but I've never found that women are harder on me or I on them. The reverse, really. Maybe I've been lucky.

I just had to take a little more time explaining without condescension. With men, I could slash and burn; with women, I had to garden.

Ooh! This news makes me happy! I wonder if they'll bring Todd Perrin back. He was a sweetie pie and his Newfie food was fun.

Yes. This is why I generally found it easier to work on books by men back when I was a copy editor: Even the most enlightened men felt superior to me deep down and thus accepted my corrections as the reasonable services of a nanny.

I think they should compete in a classic Spanish bullfight: two bulls each, moment of truth, the whole shebang. The eliminated chefs could serve as banderilleros and picadors. At the end of the corrida, meals would be prepared using the flesh of the slain bulls.

It's going to be a treat watching the finale and really not minding who wins (though I'd prefer it be Sheldon, then Brooke, then Shirley).

Or Scandal or How to Get Away with Murder.

(Psst—as one pedantic editor type to another, I think you meant "recurrence." "Remission" is every cancer patient's happy ending.)

Could've been on Z NATION (that's a compliment).

Did you flush?

The baby who was named Son of a Bitch by the Falcons fan looked just like Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer.

Hasn't she been on the run/hiding from Royals for most of her short life? I'm guessing her contact with the outside world was severely limited. Probably no contact with kids at all, especially since the chances of her hurting them would be high. But, yeah, you'd think she'd've seen some television, at least.

Of course you are right. I still hate the whole business, though.

If only they weren't so determined that everybody be aware of this.

It would give closure to some loved ones. That's kind of practical.
