My friend bought a “flipped” house about 2 years ago, and it has eaten up all of her saving with repairs to the foundation, drainage, hvac, and who knows what else. It sure is cosmetically pleasing though.  And it was not a steal to begin with. Every time I think about leaving my cheap, well maintained apartment for…

Without fail when I see anything about eating placenta, I have the same internal conversation with myself:

What are the rules for “Best New Artist”? She’s been around for awhile.

Our city got them yesterday. We’re probably sold out. I’ll live.

That is an excessive amount of pickles.   Especially for a sandwich that should not need pickles.

Does that mean they can’t have Hot Chocolate or Apple Cider?

I really disagree with your take on Ruth. She is someone who had a very specific picture of what her life would be. And GLOW was an entertaining stop gap measure while she was paying her dues becoming an actress, but the repetitiveness of Vegas made her acknowledge that it was her life, that the picture she had in her…

I do not like birthdays. My parents had this habit of completely ignoring any of my requests. They asked if I wanted a big party when I moved to a new school mid-year to make friends, I said no, they threw one anyway and like only 2 people showed up. Humiliated. I would be asked what I wanted for a birthday dinner,…

My city has a couple non-profit “incubators.” The most relevant one has a similar idea of renting workspace, with the built in idea of networking with other freelancers and entrepreneurs. They also do a lot of community outreach on entrepreneurial economic development. They don’t offer kombucha on tap though, that is…

I have a hard time wrapping my head around a public company with a multi-billion dollar valuation for a concept that a non-profit does locally.  Are they providing a direct line to VCs?

Listen, it’s fun to play conspiracy theory.

I woke up on the couch because I fell asleep on a Saturday night watching the Great British Bake Off. I made coffee and toasted a bagel. I spent the day working on a cross-stitch project while playing America’s Book of Secrets in the background. And now I watch Big Brother on a season filled with people I do not enjoy,…

This is most riveting wholesome drama. I expect nothing less than a full explanation of manufacturing and supplier changes from Customer Service.

I’m going with international players who would absolutely face repercussions beyond themselves if they were explicitly named.  I feel like QEII is more likely culprit than Trump in this case.

See, I get the sense that the dude was a straight up narcissist, and there is no way he would have killed himself before sentencing.

I can’t wait for the made for cable tv movie (ID, History Channel, or Lifetime) - “Melania’s Revenge - The Epstein Murder.”

I have a feeling that it might be in the 20th Century Americans Gallery with Michelle Obama’s portrait. President Obama’s is front and center of the Presidential portraits gallery (and just amazing).

I’ve tried that trick, it just makes me question what an L looks like in my directional anxiety.  

I can’t tell what direction is North without some orienting landscape markers. This was fine when I lived in regions with mountains and oceans. Now I live in a state of vast flatness and occasionally end up in another state by going the wrong direction on the freeway.

But this season, it will be a moon that they ruin.
