I made this soup last night. (Only 4 egg yolks.) It really does wonders for opening congestion up and it’s dead easy.

People who don’t have mental illness do NOT get it. It’s like they learn everything they know about mental illness from movies and TV. And that means: Mental illness = horrible, violent person.

All I know is that a white gunman went after members of Congress this summer, and they are still under the thrall of the fucking NRA.

Just to clarify - I think NOT calling this a terrorist attack is utter bullshit. Of course it’s a terrorist attack.

I want to rage at this, but sadly and incredibly pedantically, this is considered a “mass shooting.” Because at the moment, there’s no explicitly political motive for it.

It’s thought that Washington himself would have loathed it.

While I do do some things from a box and some jarred/canned ingredients - I’ve got some heinous hip injuries so days I need the shortcuts - I mostly do from-scratch cooking. Since that’s what I learned from my Mom, and it’s really not that difficult. My sister-in-law keeps harping on me to get a pressure cooker or…

They didn’t even leave you a note or anything?

I hate people.

For a second, I thought it was a Harriot article and he was being sarcastic. Then I saw it was Breanna’s article and my jaw hit my chest.

The deification of Washington began a loooooong time ago.

OMFG that’s horrible. Did the parent of the hellspawn apologize?

You are a better woman than I.

Um, I’ve never heard that. But they do have all sorts of health issues with heat because of their flat faces. So if you have a Frenchie, you need AC.

Oh GOD I hated that when I still worked in the office. Because once upon a time, I was a Vertebrate Paleontologist. Which means that, yes, as a grown-ass woman, I have dinosaur stuff in my office. Guess where those kids would camp out?

I agree with you, Michael - I love my dog, but I don’t understand why some people need to bring their dogs EVERYWHERE. And I would say about 8 times out of 10, the people who want to bring their dogs everywhere have really poorly behaved dogs, so that just makes it more fun.

My husband and I chose not to have kids for medical reasons. (We could have them...we just really, really shouldn’t, and listened to the advice we were given.)

I HATE that. Service dogs are one thing, but bringing your pet into where I buy my food? SO rude.

My dog has a few fleece sweaters, but that’s because it turns out he has a dust allergy that expressed itself as tiny hives that made him itchy as hell. The sweaters kept him from clawing up his skin. There’s more than one because we had to launder them to swap them out. And they were cheaper than vet visits and…

I am so sorry, that is the worst thing. (Though your uncle’s response was excellent.)

I have one and while there is much to love they are a handful. If you’re used to dogs that actually want to behave, then any bulldog breed isn’t for you. Also, you have to go to the right breeder, otherwise, it’s just a money pit.

Seriously, I love my little dude, but if I could have gotten a nice mutt-puppy to train,…
