I had a friend with two kids tell me she was jealous because I could do whatever I want because I’m single and don’t have kids. I had to point out that I can’t do “whatever I want whenever I like” because I have still have responsibilities. Like work. And everyday chores. And helping care for my aging mother. I…

I’m pretty sure my mom would call it “midwest yankee chic”.

It’s because this org only focuses on dietary and physical activity risk factors. Smoking and sun exposure are also noticeably missing.

This is report is specific to diet and physical activity risk factors. It doesn’t include tobacco, the biggest modifiable risk factor, or sun exposure. A closer look into this organization shows it’s focused on cancer prevention related to diet, weight and activity. There are other ways to decrease  cancers risk that…

I like Samantha Bee and agree with her viewpoint and opinions most of the time. However, I think she does take the low road a lot with mocking people she disagrees with. She makes a lot of jokes belittling people’s appearances, when she could just be digging into their awful actions and deeds. Over the past year, I…

I’ve been buying Liberty tana lawn fabric remnants each time I go to London for the past several years. I’m using them to make a hand-pieced scrappy quilt (English paper piecing 1" hexagons). I’ve been at it for a year and still have about a fourth of the way to go, but it’s a great companion to watching TV.

They must be rolling this out slowly because I’ve yet to get a picture of my package after being delivered by an Amazon delivery person.

I’ve had Amazon delivery people mark something as delivered before it was. I received a text saying it was delivered right before I left work for the day. When I made it home 15-20 mins later, there was no package. I went down to my apartment leasing office, and it wasn’t there either. While I was on the phone with…

After Albert’s death, Queen Victoria walked two of her daughters down the aisle at their weddings, so the royal family hasn’t always insisted on a male walking the bride down the aisle.

I’ve always anthropromorphized numbers. In my mind, some numbers are friends (like 3 and 7), and others are loners (like 28).

I love this show, too. I think it’s been the perfect example of being able to have two characters in a workplace romance without it becoming the main focus of the show. They did the right thing by not dragging out the flirtation too long and then not making the show all about Jake and Amy. It’s like the anti-Cheers.

I know lots of adults go without kids, but I think it would be odd to go alone. I solo travel a lot in Europe and North America, but I don’t think a theme park would be as fun on its own. (Also, I think Harry Potter is at Universal, not Disney.)

I’m a 42 and have never been to a Disney park and want to go. I don’t have kids, and it’s not really a place you can go on your own. However, I’m not one of those Disney-obsessed adults. I haven’t seen an animated Disney movie in theatres since high school. The only Disney movies I own are Mary Poppins and the Parent…

I was assuming I’m just super old and not hip to the new lingo. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks “dead” isn’t a verb and “to dead” isn’t a proper phrase.

If my Prime delivery isn’t delivered on the promised date or isn’t delivered as specified (e.g., they leave it at apartment leasing office instead of delivering to front door), I always call them about it. I usually get a month extension of Prime, but on a few occasions they’ve offered to refund the cost of the item…

In at least modern times, there’s been a gap between the death of one monarch and the coronation of the next. Edward VIII became king on Jan 20 1936 but abdicated 11 months later without ever having a coronation. During this time, mail stamps with his likeness were eve produced and used. Elizabeth II’s coronation took…

Per Wikipedia, Daytime Emmys weren’t supposed to count according to the person who created the acronym.

Until recently, I thought Jessica Chastain and Mireille Enos were the same person.

I’ve become a lot more selective in movie watching, but I can’t remember the last time I watched a modern-day movie that involved a character being raped. In fact, the most recent movie I remember containing a rape scene is 12 Days a Slave, which was historical.

I think the most interesting thing about her op ed is that she says she was aware of the rumors about her and Harvey and knew that they weren’t true, so she didn’t put much credence into the others rumors about him. I think that’s a plausible way that someone in the industry could have known about the rumors but…
