Plus, garbage truck workers, septic tank drainers, and even retail workers, for that matter, don’t rely on the kindness of their clients for 75% of their wage like waitstaff does in the U.S. That’s the biggest reason everyone should have to wait tables early in their lives.

Coming soon to a theater near you: Kevin Bacon stars in a gritty but heartwarming remake of Footloose. Set in the Naked City, we watch as Ren McCormack, recently retired from his job as a successful Wall Street broker, battles corrupt City Hall with his granddaughter, Wren McCormack, so she can follow her dream of…

I don’t really follow him or his work but every time I see him in the news, I wonder if he goes by “The” to his close friends. He probably goes by Abel but I still get a chuckle out of this possible conversation:

These types of pregnancy centers have been doing this longer than Pence has been around. They only exist to guilt women into delivering the child.

Pickled garlic #1. No question about it.

Plus that top doesn’t fit her. Look at it pull across the chest and it sits funny on her shoulders. Was this a found-objects challenge on Project Runway? I’m not watching this season and haven’t really really kept up.

I will. Thank you. It’s good to know there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Guy #1: Here’s a look at my husband’s story with women. When he was 13, the 40-ish year-old neighbor raped him while his parents were out of the house for an afternoon. He was afraid to tell his parents because they were über-Christian and sex before marriage was a no-no so he didn’t get therapy or any kind of support…

It’s dangerous because a car isn’t expecting a pedestrian there. I bet some judicious Googling would show that people have been hit in the drive thru more than a little amount. I can see how the restaurant’s lawyers - who are naturally risk adverse - would caution the store from waiting on a customer there because…

I don’t think complaining here gets you a free Lifehacker but I admire your moxie!

It is. It’s one of those things you don’t think about until it’s gone.

My mother had the throat version of this cancer last year. She had radiation and chemo which killed her taste buds and salivary glands. (She’s been out of treatment since Aug 2016 and is starting to get some taste back but she’s still so thin.) She’s been told she will always be at a higher risk for dental problems…

It’s always the culture until it isn’t. Weinstein’s actions were part of the Hollywood culture that everyone knew about and even created a word for (casting couch) to give it a cutesy feel. That doesn’t mean we have to let it go on forever. Yay for everyone who is speaking out on this subject in the U.S. and in…

What they need to do is go ahead and tell Bernie he can’t run for president as a Dem because he spent most of his career swearing he wasn’t one. I don’t know why they let him in on the nomination process last time since he’s a sworn Independent but they shouldn’t make that mistake this time. Because if he runs in the…

Perspirate?

Accountant-type people and/or IRS-type people, I have a question. I’m sure it’s against the accountant code of ethics to release anyone’s tax returns but, if you were someone who worked on his taxes or if you worked in that office and can still get your hands on them, would this offer make you at least consider…

I prefer the word ‘condesplaining.’ It captures the type of conversation without relying on gendering or anything else.

He probably said when he saw the bullet point, “I thought we weren’t supposed to use the N-word. We better not say anything about it. See, I’m not racist.”

The black guy complimenting Claire’s ass comes directly from the book. I don’t mind it because she does ask his opinion and he is her closest friend.

Yes to this. As good as the first third of Voyager is, the last two-thirds are miles and miles even better. And it’s not just because of sex. I think Diana G. learned something about pacing between books 2 and 3.
