I read the shit out of that book as a 12 year old. Damn. Thanks for the memories, Nancy. You made a woman outta me!

It’s weird that those puzzle pieces don’t seem like they would fit together.

Thank you for this beautifully told story, Nelly. I think every Canadian who has been feeling super smug since 45 was inaugurated should read this story. We are not immune from xenophobia, racism and hatred up here and we would do well to remember that.

I took your advice and went to see Moonlight today. It’s amazing. Truly a wonderful film. Sadly, it also gave me wicked motion sickness so I had to watch about 1/3 of it with my eyes closed. Which is a tragedy. I look forward to watching it again on the small screen when I’ll be less likely to hurl. A word of warning…

Because Bill Clinton is NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help your mother out for crying out loud!

I read it on Monday and really enjoyed it. The script format took some getting used to but I loved spending more time with the gang and really loved one character so much, he made the story for me. So sad I didn’t get to see this as a play. It must be wonderful.

Agreed! I’m going to see her live next weekend in Montreal and I. Can. Not. Wait. I’m going to drink wine, eat cheese, watch cheese. Fantastique!

This is an excellent article. My heart goes out to this woman and her husband for what they’ve been through. The world needs more Dr. Herns.

Agreed! That part really destroyed the movie for me. That character existed only to serve as a reward for the dude. I’m pretty sick of that shit.

Well, your story is unfairly horrid so nothing competes, but here’s something. When my daughter was 5, she had a wicked nosebleed. It was a gushing geyser of blood. I was a bit worried when it had been going on for about 25 minutes but then she started to bleed from her eyes. FROM HER EYES! I called an ambulance and…

My mom was a school librarian and she once had a parent come see her in a fit because her daughter (in SK) had brought home Where the Wild Things Are. The parent was horrified and thought the book was completely inappropriate for children because it had “demons” in it. My mom was so sad for that kid. Pretty sure the…

You must be really fun at parties.

I told myself when my daughter was born that I would never lie to her so I was not going to perpetuate the Santa myth in our home. I have never had her picture taken with Santa. I never tell her to be good or he won’t bring her presents. None of it. And yet at 8 she’s still a total believer. She even argued with me…

I thought that guy was wearing a hat but it’s his hair. That is very hat-like hair.

How high is John Mayer?

I thought that was Lindsay Lohan when I first saw the picture.

Unless you work at a bank. In which case there is a small possibility that you aren’t the asshole but that you’ve made a bad career choice.

Confession: I have a friend who told me I wasn’t supposed to flush tampons and I told her she was nuts and ignored her wise counsel. I get not flushing pads but I have not allowed myself to understand that tampons are also no good for flushing. Shame. Shame. I wish I hadn’t clicked on this article because now I have…
