This is why I feel skeevy about alternative weeklies, even though I know reporters who work for them and my husband is featured in the current issue of my city’s alt weekly. The back pages of those are directly linked to sex trafficking in many cities, as this case neatly illustrates.

When goat yoga came to my area, I was explaining it to my husband and he shook his head and said “sounds like some white people shit.” A few months later, we were at a family dinner and my SIL, who is half-white, was telling us that she went to goat yoga. I made eye contact with my husband and we were both rude as…

Brown people. Trump can’t tell us apart. White people good, brown ones bad (unless they’re “Blacks” who like him.) http://gawker.com/the-collected-quotes-of-donald-trump-on-the-blacks-1719961925

This is the right answer!

I was in your shoes about 11 years ago, feeling devastated. I loved him. Here on the other side, I am grateful that we ended. I won’t list all the reasons why. Just want you to know that heartbreak heals and this may be a big big sign pointing you to new ambitions and new opportunities.

My xmas gift to myself is going to be an automatic soap dispenser, because of all the cooking and hand washing. I hear ya.

A friend of mine who also loathes him was him for Halloween. I am stealing this for Halloween next year. He is fucking scary.

I don’t know who she is, but her concave stomach is hard to look at.

I don’t understand how people can cook with jewelry on. Martha Stewart does it and I think Rachel Ray does it. If you’re stirring hot things, wouldn’t the heat conduct to the metal on your fingers and wrists?

And I would stay there so I could meet you, one of my favorite Jezzies.

His schnozz is yuge! (on the wax figure)

I’ve heard of her. Thanks for the reminder. Natalie Hemby is another one that has been recommended to me in that country singer-songwriter vein. And since I’m here, I’m recommending Amos Lee, who I wouldn’t say is country at all, but is another one I turn to for soothing and introspective lyrics that often tell a…

Oh my gahhhh I love corned beef. Definitely will do this when it goes on sale in March! I’ll tell my mom too.

At Friendsgiving on Sunday, we were packing up the leftovers and no one wanted turkey or ham, even though both of them were good. Same thing for the kids. They didn’t want either.

Yup! I don’t like either, but I cook a small ham this time of year just to make split pea soup with the bone.

New country can be embarrassing to listen to. I dabble in country. Miranda Lambert and Sturgill Simpson are about it for new country, but every year during a dayslong family reunion camping trip, my cousins make sure I listen to new country. There’s this thing of sort of rapping over country music? Jason Aldean is the…

In no particular order. I’m on my phone, which only does hard returns, so I’m clumping them together. Stuff they did right: Putting us in sports, drama, band, etc. Weekend trips to the library or to buy new music. Snuggling as a family. Both parents cooked and did laundry. Both parents rarely drank.

NOT ENOUGH STARS.
