wouldn’t you think that a friend of yours who scrimped and saved in other areas of life but only drank Chateau Lafite ‘82 was, you know, kind of a knucklehead?

You could make the same comments about clothes, eating out, cat food/vet bills/cat litter (oh god my cat is so expensive), coffee, alcohol,...

It’s all balancing. If you want to spend money on a wedding, then do it. As long as you’re not over extending yourself and saving some along then way then you’ll be ok. Life is…

“I feel like I’m being manipulated into buying into someone’s curated-for-Instagram life. It feels designed to make viewers envious of the photographer. It’s kind of saying, ‘See, my life has meaning AND beauty.’ “

People who get irrationally upset over baby photos freak me out. It is the MOST INNOCUOUS SHIT EVER. No weirder than anything else friends post.

Another article I can’t quite tell if is in jest or not.

I feel the opposite way about those two photos. I like the kids playing together more. Tells a story. The baby pic says nothing.

Ummm. I’m sorry you don’t get that I was speaking in the general. See, like all women, women of my era talked about sex. And, we had a thing called popular culture. As shocking as it may seem to you, college people in the 80s had sex, and talked about it. And wrote about it. And made movies about it. So, that’s how I…

Female recreational cyclists do not generally need to push their limits, race against time and increase their adrenaline when riding rough downhill trails. They just want to enjoy the time spent in nature on the bike, and their expectations on the bike are completely different from the men’s professionals’. They look…

Where the hell is the “Yes, if I had a time machine or it somehow never stopped being 1996” option?

If you have to be “trained” to appreciate a food or drink, then said food or drink is bullshit. You don’t need years of training to eat at the French Laundry and realize that it tastes better than McDonald’s.

That’s what the Mother Jones article that Miller refers to just did. Really, it’s time for people to drink what they like. My mother-in-law discovered white zinfandel late in life, a sweet wine that didn’t appeal to me, but she was so happy to find a wine she loved — and that she could finally, in good conscience, use…

I bought the book but I can’t find it.

On my first deployment, we stopped (as we pretty much always do) at Shannon Airport, where there is this tiny, restricted area for american citizens flying through. It has a tiny coffee bar, and a LARGE gift shop, for your unique irish crystal, chocolate and Guinness gifts. It was made pretty clear that no one would…

My story:

I once left a travel size container of baby powder open and it got all over the inside and outside of my bag. DID NOT help that I had a stopover in Miami.

I was flying a few months ago and a toddler was having an epic meltdown. The mom was doing everything in her power to calm the kid down but it was just one of those things. Instead of shaming her or ranting about his right to fly in silence, the guy in front of her turned around and offered the kid his iPad. It was a…

I would certainly call and ask. I know many airlines will do this for kids with disabilities to ensure they are as comfortable as possible with the process. I can’t see such a problem with young kids if it’s something they do already!

So that’s what happened! I read the article when it first published too and the comments were nice. I was so shocked by the tone of this article it was obvious something was said. So shocked I was pushed to make my first comment. I was scared to go confirm, though.

The arrogance, insanity and entitlement of the “I hate an entire class of human beings, therefore they should be banned for the public sphere because their very existence offends me!” crowd will never cease to amaze me.
