Maybe it was mostly the wife’s dog. Maybe Maverick kept her company while she was making towel charms.

My dogs are adored to the point of ridiculousness and they have that same expression in some of our photos. Maybe that wasn’t the best pic for the Pences to pick (say that three times fast!), but to assume the family locked Maverick outside or in a crate, or that a 13-year-old dog was merely a prop, is a stretch. The…

It’s one of my favorite shows of all time, yet whenever I reference it, it’s almost always to totally blank stares. People have no clue what they’re missing.

What now? MORE DEETS PLS.

Yes indeedy.

I wouldn’t wish a dead dog on my worst enemy, and that includes Mike Pence. I’m glad his furbabybeagle had a long life and, unlike American women, was probably treated very respectfully by Pence.

Amy Sedaris is the coolest. Strangers with Candy was hilarious. Her entertaining book makes me giggle. Even those dumb Downy Unstoppables commercials are delightful because of her.

And not a single bedroom. I was curious considering how many women live there and how much of the space is used for common areas.

That was quite possibly the most low-key mention of an abortion I’ve ever seen on a screen. It’s such a good response to this stupid notion that all women who have abortions are scarred for life — as if guilt and suffering are the price you must pay for having done such a thing, even if you wanted or needed it.

Whenever I see Portland mentioned in a teaser, I can usually guess whether it’s Oregon or Maine based on the photo and description, but I was totally wrong on this one. No state mention in the story that I could find other than an “ME” at the bottom of a tweet. I had to look up Portland Press Herald to be sure. Is…

I can’t stand the look of most Dyson vacuums. They’re so desperate for you to appreciate all their bells and whistles, and they seem unnecessarily clunky. I’m sure they work well, but I’m Team Miele when it comes to style and function. Their vacuums have a minimalist vibe and they work like a dream. I’ve had my…

It’s totally true. A massage therapist recently told me about his cousin, a young man who was black, gay and bipolar. A few years ago, the guy’s family, concerned about his well being, called the police, who promptly shot him to death though he was only endangering himself. It happened in Washington State, natch.

My mom and I were watching Fear the Walking Dead a few weeks ago and agreed that we both would’ve killed ourselves the moment we’d realized that life was nothing more than survival anymore. So, pretty damn early on. No way would we subject ourselves to such suffering and terror. And my mom thinks suicide is a mortal…

I’m a former Christian and tithed 10% throughout my youth — allowance, babysitting money, first job, etc. Then the church built itself a grandiose new chapel with all the bells and whistles and I never tithed a penny again. I’m sure they did good public works, as well, but I was so put off by how much they must’ve…

So the woman dressed as a dog (Lauren Devine) in the tent by Gigi’s legs is some kind of pop singer? Is she famous? I’ve never heard of her. And why is she dressed as a dog on the cover? Is it because she’s not a twig? Or just “fashion”? Please teach me No-Mi Skye!

Also, sweatshirts have gotten super expensive. I will admit I bought a pretty cool one that cost $80. Maybe calling it a sweater makes it easier to swallow those prices?

I think I’d make my husband sleep in the spare room if he supported Trump. You are a better woman than I am.

My parents are textbook conservatives and think Trump is a complete moron. I’m hoping there are lots more like them out there.

It took me a minute to figure out you weren’t referring to Mary Berry. ;-)

My mom, who is a few years younger than Cher, is also obsessed with emojis. At least I usually know what my mom is trying to convey. But Cher pretty much gets a pass on anything and everything from me for Moonstruck alone.
