What an awkward time to have a volcano disaster-themed movie come out, and to try and sell it as “fun.”

In the chicken’s defense, it’s hard to fall asleep to the music of Usher.

My first thought was: “I bet we have Queen Victoria to blame for this.” And I’m not entirely wrong: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-strange-history-of-the-wedding-cake-1-63011094/

Episode IX: Rose discovers that she has Jedi powers. Kylo Ren is killed. Rose and Rey and Leia (who I’m pretending will still be alive somehow) form the nucleus for a new all-female Jedi order.

I dated one who was a control freak and he barely seemed able to live with himself...

This is such a common story these days. My parents are in upstate NY, but I live in the South and my brother in the Midwest. The four of us haven’t been in the same place at the same time in probably eight years. My grandma is lucky that two of her three children (and some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren)…

Sorry to hear this. My family has been dealing with my grandmother’s decline in health. My mom has power of attorney and it’s been hard to see her struggling with the financial/health decisions but also refusing to accept help.

Asheville is great. Highland and Burial Brewing are two of my favorites. French Broad Chocolates will also sell you some slightly imperfect truffles at reasonable prices, but if you want to do the Biltmore be prepared to buy tickets online and shell out some money.

I heard an interview w/Laurie Metcalf on NPR where she basically waved it all off saying that she thinks this is just a persona that Roseanne puts on. All I could think was, is that supposed to make it OK?

they figured it out for me and retired my country ass.

No advice, really, just solidarity. Online dating has never worked well for me. I’m about to move for work (again) to a city where I know not a single human being and I’m just depressed about it. I’ve been considering putting out money for a matchmaker or dating coach, but then sometimes I just think it’s a lost…

Co-signed. I’m not a fan of lace or beading. I liked the simplicity of the dress, and the neckline, and she could pull it off—which is saying something.

I totally get you on the trust thing. My ex made me feel bad about the fact that I was having a hard time trusting him because of past relationships... but then he also wasn’t honest with me in the end. :-/ If bartender is taking care of you in those ways, though, he is yard ahead of most of the guys I’ve been with.

Good evening, all. I’m heading off to Colombia in a couple of days. I’ll be in Bogotá this coming week and then a few days in Cartagena. I initially decided to do all of this a couple of months ago, but I’ve been struggling so much with depression that I seriously thought about cancelling the entire thing. I’ve always…

I have female friends who are in the fire department in their respective cities. The stories about pervasive sexual harassment and even revenge porn are horrific. And they have to sleep in the same facilities with the guys who demean them.

That moment when June found the Koran under their bed was poignant. The show doesn’t often surprise me (in fairness, I have read the book), but that took me aback. It was also beautifully shot.

He’s one of these guys that I’m a little embarrassed to have a crush on because he is hot in a somewhat generic way and probably knows it... but yeah. (Ronan Farrow is also in the same category.)

I can tell by the volume of comments you’ve posted that you’re mostly here to argue, but if you want to make a hyperbolic argument about men’s lives being “destroyed,” Aziz Ansari is a particularly poor example. Unlike some of the others accused of sexual misconduct, he hasn’t had his projects cancelled. He’d said all…

With these two and a prescription pad, the outcome would more likely be along the lines of “Harold and Kumar Run the VA.”

Yeah, I do strength stuff about once a week. Maybe it’s not enough, it’s just all I’ve had time for!
