At my university, the professional fraternities were like any other professional club. They occasionally brought in speakers, had very tame socials, and helped with job searches. They were not the party frats.

“slavery was not an unmitigated horror show.” What!?!? All slaves may not have been physically abused, but I would consider losing the capacity to make any decisions regarding my life a horror show.

My daughter had eleven stitches to fix a tiny cut above her eye. The ER had a plastic surgeon do it, and it seemed to be a real point of pride with him that the scarring would be minimal. Can barely see it several years later.

I think it’s probably her makeup, but I didn’t recognize her at first. Amazing what a good makeup artist can do. Or it could be her expression.

But will it have furniture made of plywiid and about two inches of foam? I also remember Frank spray painting upholstered furniture.

SSeveral people could learn a lesson from Lorde’s apology. I screwed up, I’m sorry, please forgive me.

Also, tip over 20 percent if it’s a ‘special’ night. We have a lot of restaurants around here that do Taco Tuesday. Two people can get a couple of beers and several tacos for less than $20. It’s also always crowded and the servers are working like crazy, so we don’t tip 20% of $20. If we tip $10, we still got a great…

The recent changes made it far less appealing. Not a good time to make the Rihanna “mistake.” It might be the last straw for a lot of people

Sadly, my local high school asked the students to walk out to a courtyard in the back of the school because they were worried about them being too unprotected in the front, where they would be sitting ducks for a drive by shooter.

Being shot at that close range would hurt if you were wearing a bullet proof vest, and you would need to be checked for chest trauma. The vest, or book if it worked, stops the penetration, but you’re still hit by incredible force.

I have no problems with Adam Rippon’s harness, but I can’t stand his cold-shoulder tuxedo.

I thought Wonder pets was one of the least annoying kids shows out there. And my daughter watched it a Lot.

So true. I had my kids 11 years apart and the recovery from the first was easier in every way.

That chicken tortilla is one of my go-to meals when I don’t want to do much. Half a can over a bowl of rice with some tortilla strips on top.

I think that everyone who is willing and able should go to college. I’m glad I went and I’m glad my kids are going. But... None of us could walk into a million dollar+ job right out off high school. He could.

I didn’t like it, but I also don’t like when flight attendants try to be funny. Just show me how to get out if this fire tube when it goes down, please.

I was bothered that despite the seriousness of the topic, it was written like a typical feel-good celebrity profile. Details about her couch and her kids coming in weren’t really necessary. And why was the accompanying photo a shot of Thurman on a bed?

I feel for Malia. I wouldn’t want my college dates recorded and commented on.

There are nicer plastic spoons than the disposable ones.
