Hey, that makes as much sense as anything else that results in living to 90 freaking years old. I like it.

YES. With Sanders her only competition, the fact that he and his supporters were making up a huge chunk of likely voters should have pointed her LEFT in her search for a running mate. Kaine was a safe bet but JESUS, was he boring, and he didn’t fill any gaps that she left open. Clinton herself is so close to the

The husband used to say that if I ended up in the ditch during the winter, I could live for days off the dropped French fries, Cheerios, and water bottles in the car. With the girls grown and gone (and a change in vehicles since Cheerio days), I’d be in a little trouble in the food department, but the last time I

My husband really gets off on parking ours at his parents’ house, where his siblings and parents drive brand new Escalades, Audi SUVs, Lexuses (Lexi?), etc. Our beat up 12-year-old Toyota van squats in the middle like an ugly old toad.

We had a Ford Escort earlier in our marriage that had gotten to 140,000 miles - and I have a personal opinion that Fords aren’t BUILT to last over 100K. We decided that the next major repair would be “it” - the event that triggered the End of Life for the Escort. But then nothing broke. By its official EoL, the

We’re in the same income bracket (mostly mine, as the husband is on disability), but have some fucking ridiculous medical bills to contend with. I’m with you on the car thing. Mine is 12 years old. It’s a Toyota, for one thing, and also I travel for work, so I drive National Car Rental cars during the week. I really

I’m not young; my girls have both graduated from college and are working full time (and have their own places, paying their own rent/bills, etc). The Husband and I make good money, but dropping $2,000 on something like this is just something we would never do, now or when we were young. There’s something in my genetic

(I was talking about the Scott Baio pic in a comment above that shows a....lack of manscaping, to put it delicately.)

I get that - I’m old too. (I had the Shaun Cassidy poster. LOL)

Well, yes, I’m aware of that, but the picture could be digitized and ‘shopped NOW....??

His entire reply was just weird.

Jesus CHRIST, my EYES.

You might be able to plead it down to justifiable homicide. (Note: I am not a lawyer. I am basically an IT Nerd Nurse. I have no idea if this is a plea “down” or “up” and literally nobody should take legal advice from me.)

A similar thing happened a couple of years ago when our daughter, who went to school in NYC and now lives there, was home for a school break and said something about being upset by guys whistling and leering at her while walking. I watched a man to whom I had been married for 20+ years, who parented at least 50/50,

I’d have to turn the picture off, or find some way to not see it. I go from “I have to stay informed so I can keep fighting” to “I have to keep breathing into this paper bag so I can stop hyperventilating.” Repeat daily since January 20th.

I don’t think it helps that some women take “leave,” collect the short-term disability, then quit. And I’m saying this as a woman who has worked full-time my entire life, and took 8 weeks off for the birth of each child, then returned to the workforce. Of the women I’ve supervised who went out on maternity leave over

People just automatically lean towards him like plants to the sun. 

My husband got out of a ticket because of a goofy-ass DL picture, too, but in his case, he literally looks DEAD. They apparently aren’t supposed to accept pictures with closed eyes; they retook the picture when he was in the office, but when his license arrived, they had used the first picture on the DL. Zero

I got pulled over in my daughter’s janky car for an expired plate (the back bumper is blue; the rest of the car is red). Two cops approached the car, one on each side; they seemed to have the distinct idea that I was up to no good. I had my windows down, and when one asked about the plate, I said, “To be honest, this

WORD. I’m not an attorney; I work in healthcare IT. That means that I often spend all day on my feet onsite in client offices, and at least five times a day, I’m crawling around connecting printers or scanners etc. I wore skirts and heels the first month of this job - now I wear pants and I’m back to the Dansko
