It was an open secret. Everybody who knows her already knew, but she has never talked about it publicly.

"Strong women" needs to be dumped. It sounds too much like it means physically powerful, or assertive, or stoic. Once you try to write a trait, that becomes the only thing there is to know about the character.

I think it was a really bad move to shut down yesterday. I'm sure plenty of drivers would have been happy to get overtime, and it would have gone a long way with customers.

It's not the customers' fault. If somebody says, "Guaranteed Christmas Delivery," it's entirely reasonable for the customer to expect guaranteed Christmas delivery. There's no need to be sanctimonious about having shopped early.

I just can't with this. Invisible Man? The fuck?
Just, don't ban books. Read books. Discuss books. Disagree with books if you want. Teach your children to read and think critically about books. But don't say, "I don't like this, so no one should even know it exists." WTF is wrong with people?

A friend of mine was born on Christmas, and she absolutely loves it. Growing up, her family did Christmas in the morning and her birthday later, completely separate with separate gifts and different wrapping paper. They must've done right by her, because she thinks having a Christmas birthday is the greatest thing…

I tell all the kids in my class with summer birthdays to pick a day in June to celebrate. They bring in cookie cake, we sing "Happy Un-Birthday To You!"

I'm on my second Magic Wand. I wore the first one out.

My #1 is people who recline their seats. There are certainly cases where it's necessary or acceptable, such as a lengthy overnight flight, or a flight that isn't full, so people can just move if they don't like it. But if you're a regular person on a regular couple-hours midday flight, you need to sit up, for fuck's…

I've always been super skinny, but a few years ago I started gaining weight, all in the abdomen. My pants didn't fit. I went from 4 to 6 and even bought some 8s. I figured I was just getting old and my metabolism was changing. I started dieting and exercising. People looked at my skinny everything else and…

For the last few days, I've watched endless interviews with Winston. One of them, ESPN led into with, "Now that the unfounded allegations are behind him,..." I know, I shouldn't have expected better from the network that hired Ray Lewis.

Oh it was an issue. They tell you nowadays girls break their hymens riding bikes or whatever. Not so much. But if he figured it out, he didn't say anything. It didn't get that much easier on subsequent occasions, so hopefully he thought it was just how I am.

Mine disappeared too. And he didn't know it was my first time. I thought if he knew he wouldn't do it.

I was 36. I win.

I don't wear them. I switched to camis.

I notice in these comments there are lots of different definitions of "needy."

I don't hate Carrie Underwood at all. I hate that they're doing The Sound of Music with anyone. The movie is great; just show that.

OH MY GOD STOP CALLING IT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND LIBERTY

And they can indeed fly. Fat domestic ones probably can't, but I have pictures of wild turkeys on my roof. They look bizarre in the air.

I am that relative who wants to think of the amazing, perfect gift.
