"Also, since you are the host, I'd anticipate on supplying 25-30% of the food anyway. That way, you can make sure there is enough food in case people flake (which happens), and then you don't feel flustered and it doesn't affect the evening."

I pretty much always do this when I host potlucks. Isn't that just how it's…

"I've gotten into the habit of buying a moderate gift card and a bottle of wine that will improve with a year's aging. I then put on the card that I suggest that the couple enjoy the wine at their one-year anniversary. "

THANK YOU for sharing this. I've been in this jam before and this is smart.

Amanda Palmer? Trying anyway?

Are you kidding me? I love pot luck - provided I'm hosting. I can just grill and drink beer outside for the duration. Hell, other people can just bring raw meat and I will cook it; which will give me a further excuse to spend even more time outside drinking.

Really great interview. Thank you for this.

She looks tough as fuck. Shit, I'd want her to save me from a fire.

Wait, why were you insulted by the $100? I've never met a server that wouldn't snap that up in a heartbeat (most of whom would then skip off to piss it away at a bar later that night).

Eh, don't conflate idiocy with not knowing. Cosby and people who support him have done a great job of obscuring a lot of these stories beneath his folksy mythos.

Completely serious. It's going on in several Southern states. They are running drug tests on delivering mothers and then busting them if they turn up positive. One woman attempted suicide and failed, but it killed the fetus- she's up for life in prison. There was a 16 year old who had a stillbirth (cord wrapped around…

I think the show is beginning to realize it's more compelling when it spends less time with the wide-eyed Wes and more time with penis-enthusiast Connor.

The way they set up that scene before she confronts her husband was just so amazing. She is presented all through the show as this pillar of glam fierceness (mainly because she is) but when she stripped everything bare and looked at him she totally owned it the moment. No makeup, No wig. Nothing. Just "I'm here and…

I always thought that Annalise would look better with less makeup. Her lashes look so obvious all the time and that wig is doing nothing for her. I like her better without the war paint and I loved that she does not need it and taking it off doesn't make her all vulnerable.

Well, in light of the reports that nurses who cared for Duncan were also instructed by their employer to continue to care for other patients in the hospital, it's easy to understand why she thought it was fine to fly.

I would imagine that this nurse was given all manner of assurances by her employer that it was perfectly safe to be taking care of Duncan and that she had nothing to worry about. she called the CDC and they told her to go ahead and fly. in hindsight, it's easy to criticize, but when you are told over and over again by…

I'm guessing you've never been pregnant, right?

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I've read that c-sections strongly increase the risk of autism.

If Martha is the matriarch and Goop is the overachieving daughter, Preserve must be the stoner sister that lives in the basement and can't seem to find her way in life.

lol @ thinking you have to be a good actor to be in a James Bond movie. I get what you're saying but come on.
