I think the Duchess is absolutely lovely & so is her mother, Doria Ragland. But the white members of the Markle family don’t seem to know when to shut up!

I have abnormally acute hearing, what they call hyperacusis, & Mr. Drip has a loud voice & gets carried away, even (or especially) at home. I have to tell him, “Indoor voice please.” He doesn’t usually get angry at this, after all these years.

Didn’t John Oliver, British TV host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight,” do something like that a couple of years ago? It’s a very cool thing to do!

You do know that Miley’s dad is country singer Billy Ray Cyrus of “Achy Breaky Heart” fame?

Happy Thanksgiving! Mr. Ivy & I haven’t eaten turkey in at least 10 years. I cook chicken every Thanksgiving & here’s my go-to recipe ... we call it Cranberry Chicken but I have seen it in a cookbook as “Chicken Toastamente” or something like that. Anyway:

It looks extremely stupid.

I love how you described the color of the “gold” dresses as mustard! Too funny.

Yeah, if she’s wearing a t-shirt or sweater braless & her nipples are erect, but it’s an actress you recognize & know her breasts aren’t really that big. In that case I would think she filmed the scene wearing prosthetic breasts.

Wonderful article! Chris Pine was on Colbert a couple of nights ago. I’ll watch Outlaw King as soon as possible. On the topic of chain mail ... years ago I used to work in a pathology lab, which owned just one glove made of chain mail. This was to protect the pathologist’s non-dominant hand from accidental cuts &…

Wasn’t Johnny Depp fired from the Pirates franchise within the last week or so?

I would say it’s unauthorized practice of “medicine”.

RIP Evelyn, you were always great fun to read about. It occurs to me that “Power is greater than love, and I did not get where I am by standing in line, nor by being shy,” would be the most flattering inscription I could think of for the Orange Toadstool’s tombstone!!

I had a flip phone for several years & would still be using it now. Unfortunately I dropped it at the airport in 2015 & couldn’t pick it up.

I beg to disagree. I’m retired & I have a lovely clawfooted tub, so sometimes I spend an HOUR in the bathtub if I feel like it! I have several kinds of bubbly stuff to use depending on my mood, & I keep a book in the bathroom to read in the tub. And if the water gets cold I run a little more hot water.

I don’t care for any of Ed Sheeran’s songs & wouldn’t give even $1 for a pair of his drawers.

Yikes! My BFF & her family used to live in Lovettsville. Glad they moved.

So glad I don’t live in Georgia, but if I did I’d definitely vote for Stacey Abrams in the goober election. I saw her on Seth Meyers & became a fan!

Thanks so much!

My grandmother grew up in Connecticut in a house that I always thought came from Sears, but it turns out it was an Aladdin home. It was sold in the late 1990s for several hundred thousand dollars.

This is horrible. I live in New York & am so paranoid these days that recently I’ve been checking the database at voterlookup.elections.ny.gov to make sure husband’s & my voter registrations haven’t been canceled! The zipcode we live in is mostly occupied by black people, who are so often victimized by the bureaucracy.
