Beemo can play with FluterDog. We lost her last summer, but she had the biggest, best heart and the most ridiculous sense of humor. I hope they both have lots of playdates.

It seems like the vast majority, under the right conditions. We recently lost an admired family patriarch and a beloved professional mentor to the lech. It seems to be catching.

Neither of my parents exercise on purpose. One owned a business which kept them fairly active for about a decade, and neither really eats any substantial amount of food ... but they did not exercise when I lived with them, and their comprehension of nutrition is minimal at best. Finding a combination of food and…

I find that the ads are more inappropriate if I am at work, and even more so if I am at work and have a pending visit from a supervisor.

I had this actual conversation with a trucker at a gas station Subway in Arkansas. He insisted Trump was super successful and his bankruptcies were due to his divorces, and not actually business decisions.

“He’s making us look stupid for supporting him!”

In just a few short years, the autograph girl will be exactly his type. Great parenting, pink shirt. Really just stellar.

“Maybe don’t fuck Tiger Woods,” is solid advice ... which I will offer (unsolicited) several times today, in an effort to survive without being a shit to those in my immediate vicinity.

Jesus, i’m an idiot.

Edit: because I know this is going to dissolve into gap-bashing.

Well, yeah. But women at an office job don’t generally sit around talking about their sexual abuse histories?

I used to teach a community college which had a required general course for all incoming students, and a pre-fab curriculum. One of the weeks was about self-esteem, and how it might impact your progress at the…

They do a lot to avoid sweatshop labor, are attempting to minimize their products’ impact on the environment, and sponsor a lot of womens’ organizations. Their product is expensive for what it is, but it’s because of the (relative) amount of corporate responsibility.

Were we asked to believe that Annette Benning was a lame bitch?

Theory: “We’re sorry ... but it was actually an error,” is an even lamer apology than, “I’m sorry if you were offended.”

He wasn’t successful. I was pretty wrecked about it for a while, but moved on.
