"Jealous" is how you feel when you love or like someone, but they love or like someone else, but not you (like they're showering love and affection on someone and you're wishing it could be you). Envy is over possessions. You can envy someone for their fancy car, or great job, or their general luckiness or good…

I really could go on and on here, but just a few samples for your consideration: Donald Rumsfeld (remember him?) with one of my favorite folks, Saddam Hussein:

Yeah, I really had to restrain myself so much.

Yeah, because Courtney Love certainly grew out of it.

You basically win the internet for today. Congrats.

Yeah, I'm in total agreement with you (plus, I know her parents named her "Bean", it wasn't her idea obvs, but it sounds so fucking pretentious and drives me nuts). And what kicks it up a notch for me is that my daughter has the same first name, and every once in awhile some asshole is like, "Oh, you named your…

I couldn't said this better myself.

1997-2001 I used to work at an office on 5th Avenue between 12th and 13th streets in NYC. That was back when Sarandon and Robbins were still together and were raising kids in their apartment around the corner from me. I saw her practically every day and never invaded her privacy with even a long glance; she steered…

I call it "rocking the crone look". My daughter thinks I'm slightly insane.

I'm so glad that finally, at age 50 (!), I can safely say that my own, real eyebrows are BACK IN STYLE, Y'ALL!

This is the part I don't get, and wasn't able to understand based on the article. The language seemed deliberately vague. While I agree wholeheartedly that what was done was definitely wrong (the hacking and the leaking), it seems that the teacher actually had said photos contained (and presumably, previously…

Yes, that's my position as well!

We live in a part of Westchester that's a little on the scarce side when it comes to Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesday, California Pizza Kitchen and Shake Shack restaurants. We go out to championship swim meets a few times per year and stay over in hotels out on L.I. My daughter is obsessed with these places mostly because…

No, I'm chill with that, and if I'd had a screaming baby I would have appreciated not bothering other diners with my kid.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this. I went to an Olive Garden on Long Island last year with my extremely tall and well-behaved 12 year old daughter. We were directed away from the main dining room (filled with the elderly eating in companionable silence) and seated in a semi-private circular dining area…

I know families where one kid has one parent's name, and the other has the second parent's name.

You are so cool. I understand what you mean by "passing" however. I would have the exact same feelings.

God, I know, it drives me nuts. "my husband won't LET me KEEP my name". I'm turning into a crazed hyena about this stuff. I hate "keep" like someone is tearing it away from me. "Oh, you kept your name?" "No, I was born with a name and it didn't change, not unlike my husband being born with his name and not…

That's a good point and I never really thought about it that way before. But I'm still bummed that I have this basically ugly, easily mispronounced name that's my abusive alcoholic dad's name.

My brother's first wife many years ago (full well knowing that I hadn't changed my name when I got married 5 years earlier) told me, the day before their wedding (we'd flown out to Seattle for it) that she was changing her name because she was pushing back against all the pressure she felt from society to NOT change…
