I said STEP for a reason.

One of my husband’s mentors was a dynamic, accomplished woman who was president of the securities company he was working for about ten years ago. Married for 32 years, two teenaged children, served on numerous boards and was just generally a deeply involved, connected and vibrant person. She ended her life one night…

I have an algorithm. It’s called “raise the cap on compensatory credit beyond $800”. Hope Deep Blue can handle that one.

I can’t remember which airline it was - I’m leaning towards it being American, as they were who usually did the first leg of my journey - but I was bumped off a flight to JFK from DC due to overbooking two days before Christmas several years back. Obviously at that time of year, everyone is desparate to get home on…

“You have women that are active out in these streets, they going to lunches and dinners every night”

If only there were some way to keep airlines from selling more seats than are physically available in a plane.

So you’re saying Aaron Rodgers is available?

Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.

I’m rather sly.

I had a woman vilify my then 7 year old son because he is autistic and had a meltdown. To the point where she organized all the other Mommies and Daddies and they were all “scared” and “concerned” that “precious child” would be harmed. F that. My revenge was a dish served cold. At the risk of doxxing myself, I’ll just…

These comments are pissing me off. I get it, you hate rich people and it’s fun to parse their words even when they obviously mean well. But I don’t quite believe it’s about rich people as much as it is about rich women. Rich women are somehow worse than rich men.

How about an uplifting story of a man’s love for his daughter, his wife and narrowly avoiding the sex offender registry? Okay, if you insist.

We moved from the city to the burbs, and all my city friends are like single and not wanting to come out by us EVER.

My suburbs friends suck and I have finally taken the advice from the lovely people of Jezebel and left their biased, racist, pearl covered clutches.

So my husband and I are at square one and I feel bad…

I don’t remember my mom being friends with the parents of any of my friends, and it didn’t even occur to me that she should be. It’s hard enough to find friends without the added pressure of aligning social circles with your child.

Ugh - I can relate to this so much. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of friends, I was really looking forward to having a kid and making parent friends.

But daycare parents are rude as hell and NOT friendly.

I have made one friend, and we also take the train to work together. My husband always tries to initiate plans…

Not totally on topic but related, this study shows that when gender quotas are imposed, it works to remove mediocre males overall from power, thus improving the quality of men in power as well as giving women a seat at the table. Death to the mediocre male. Theory is that mediocre males surround themselves with other…

I’m telling you, though, that wedding registries exist for one reason: relatives.

A friend of mine did a yoga trip/training in India. One night, their host who was Indian made them all pizza because he knew Westerners loved pizza. Every single person except her refused to eat the pizza because they were gluten free/vegan/carb free. She literally cried telling me the story. People are the worst.

My sister is at home a lot right now, and she’s confirmed that, yes, a few minutes before I usually get home from work, my cat climbs out of wherever he’s been napping and goes to wait by the door for me. It fills me with joy every day.

Or waxed paper cones with the tip snipped off. My mom decorates cakes all the time and it’s her go to for small amounts of frosting. Start with a triangle and roll up then snip the tip. And you can use tips in the waxes paper a bit easier than a zip lock. The paper has a bit more structural integrity while the bag is…
