It boggles my mind that maternity leave in the US is so short. I am Canadian and where I work, my firm even tops up the parent’s salary who is on leave for a year. I’m also an old childless crone, but you know what? I don’t begrudge young families these benefits. These are things that are long overdue.

It seems to me that in the last 10 - 20 years or so society has moved to becoming more and more “huggy”. Like, people you hardly even know want to hug you in social situations now. What’s wrong with a sincere handshake?

Wasn’t their relationship kind of a contractual thing? I guess then the number, type and timing of the People mentions/articles probably would have been “Schedule A” deliverables.

Wow, I can’t believe I’m almost exactly the same age as this retrograde throwback. I thought he was so much older. Where the fuck did he grow up that he still thinks it’s 1955? He would have lived through the 60s, the moon landing, the Kennedy and King assassinations, Vietnam, disco, punk rock, the 80s (and so much

I don’t care, except to say GO RAPTORS!!!

Yeah, and wasn’t it recently revealed that Trump planted that story himself or lat least forced her to say that on the phone to a reporter???

No judgement at all! I love to read trashy mags/papers. Way back in the day when I used to go to my ex-husband’s family cottage, I would bring a stack of National Enquirers, etc., with me. Everyone laughed at me, but by God, by the time the weekend was over, everyone had read them all!!!!

In that second picture her hat and Trump’s hair look so alike.

Didn’t Sylvester Stallone also break up with his GF that way? Cowards.

Torontonian here - I was more excited about Obama being at the game than the game iteself!!!

My late husband always had to have a deal. Once he bought me a new diamond ring at Costco because he thought was getting a great deal and the diamond was bigger than the one I already had. Anyhow, we went away for the weekend and he presented the ring to me for our anniversary. Thank God he brought it with him because

People!  They’re the worst!

Yes, I think that Trump wants to be impeached so that he can have all kinds of media coverage, portray himself as some kind of “victim” and energize his credulous base all the way to the White House in 2020. I think that’s why Pelosi has been resisting it - she knows that could happen.

Working Title: “Art of the Steal” or “Art of the Squeal”.  Take your pick.

I was kind of late to GOT, since I binged it in March and April to get ready for the finale. As a result, I don’t think that I got as heavily emotionally invested in it as did those people who followed it over the last number of years. I don’t know how anyone could have been surprised about how Danerys’ ended up becaus

Oh, it was real.

There used to be a guy in the 70's named Werner Erhard who ran these seminars called “EST”.  Can’t remember what they stood for, but from what I read, they basically involved a bunch of people sitting in a hotel ballroom with this guy Erhard yelling at them about how they were worthless and denying them bathroom

I am just so sad about this.  As you can see from my avatar, I even carved a grumpy cat pumpkin one Hallowe’en. Honestly though, I thought she was much older than just 7. I miss her already.

Yeah, you know if Dany is killed (which Ithink will happen), someone has to deal with that dragon, because he’s going to be pissed....

“everyone in Westeros distinguishes”?  Do you mean extinguishes?
