Finn Hudson ended up being my favorite Glee character after I found out my nephew could not stop googling Cory Montieth. He (my nephew) and his lil bro were both diagnosed to be in the autism spectrum. Speech, self-expression and socialization were a concern for us when they started reaching school age. I don't get to…
Streakers make me laugh 100% of the time. I'm sorry.
I really, really think much better than an expensive preschool is a regular preschool and a parent who is with you as much as possible helping you to learn. I don't mean just mothers, any parent or guardian. One on one attention is hugely beneficial.
I channel-surfed onto Faux a few months ago just in time to catch O'Really wondering how it was Obama could have taken Hawaii in the election, because "there are a lot of Asian people...immigrants in Hawaii, and those people are generally very hard-working and not the type to go in for handouts...they're not the type…
I feel like I should explain that this is not a post that is about class difference. It definitely about how my father and I inhabit different worlds.
Two days ago, my father said, in his thick, thick, Queens accent: "Ya so smaht. I can' even keep up wit' you. You ah gonna do good no matta where ya are."
Read it again. She didn't say anything about thin women in the comment about sex lives. She said women who are constantly on diets must surely be hampering their own enjoyment of life, and that she is not prepared to trade one for the other. There is a world of difference between what she said and what you…
This is so ridiculous. Mr. Haa makes slightly less than me and when I got my CPA he joked to all his friends that he was quitting his job to be a stay at home dad because I was his sugar momma. I have a hard believing there are men (or women) who give a shit about this, especially in this economy.
While I do appreciate my husband "strength" in opening jars (I have bad carpel tunnel), god definitely did not design him with stamina and physical strength. I wonder where he gets his sense of self-worth from then?! Ruh roh.
This may sound callous, but I am comforted by the thought that people like him won't be around forever.
Yes, Dinosaurs still roam the Earth. The rare and elusive Fischosaurus.
Maybe if a wife is out-earning her husband, he needs to step up his game.
I had an old boyfriend who was late for a date once because his company had him and the rest of his team stay late to sweet-talk a client. One of the interns who had a reputation for snapping at anyone not directly above him authority-wise decided it would be a great idea to roll his eyes and sass-talk the three-star…
I had something similar happen to me when I worked as a receptionist. The fool also didn't realize I was good office friends with his supervisor. I told her about it while the intern was out to lunch and she told me to take the rest of the day off and that she was going to make him fill in for me at the front desk!…
I'm senior management and about as irreplaceable at my company as a person can be. If I treated the CEO's admin assistant like that I would likely lose my job. It's something you just don't do.
This is why when I made a list of things to look for in a boyfriend (years ago), high on the list was "must have worked at least one service-type job" like waiting tables, retail, etc. If you're a good person, this experience should teach you to be NICE to everyone, especially those whose job it is to get you what you…
I once ran a mentor/entry-level hiring program for a company I worked with and 'assistant testing' was a key part of the 2nd-round interviews. We'd schedule the interview for X time and intentionally leave them in the reception area for a good 20-30 minutes*. The receptionist was in on it and was instructed to be…
I think he has the same problem I do where the bridge of your nose is just a teensy bit crooked and it makes your glasses look really crooked.
What do you do if you really, really don't like your best friend's girlfriend? Not that she's evil or mean, but she's just kind of standoffish, doesn't click with you or the rest of the group, has weird personal habits, and isn't even particularly nice to your best friend? Do you just have to suffer in silence until…
