That entire movie was pointless, but his Wonka was the worst of all.

He who wouldn’t guzzle $30k/month of wine among you, cast the first cork.

This is a little puzzling. Ryan Seacrest is a fairly powerful person in Hollywood. Why would he take a CO-HOSTING job...with Kelly?!? If I were Kelly, I’d keep my guard up—I’d feel like they’re putting him in there in order to oust her and get a new woman host on there (of Ryan’s choosing, of course).

Same. My favorite Austen is Persuasion.

My two cents: you’re not dating. You’re spending a lot of times in the house late at night and on weekends and when you’re out, you’re meeting up with friends. At night do you ever go out just the two of you? This is going to sound super old-fashioned, but dating to many people means out somewhere on our own.

Shameless brag thread: I finished 2nd out of 79 women in a triathlon today! 

It’s been rainy and stormy and wet and dark and kinda miserable all day. I was going to do some cleaning and some self care, but all I’ve done is take a nap and a load of laundry. I told myself that this is okay, that the day isn’t over yet, and that I have another day to get things done.

“Dropping $500 on a wristband after 14 days of unresponsiveness and e-mails bouncing back.”

I was molested as a child and my family thought it best to sweep it under the rug, until the offending uncle decided to get married to a woman with two small daughters. I testified and the judge looked me in the eye and said “I’m sorry, but I cannot do anything; the statute of limitations has expired.” I was still a…

Truth. The nonchalant putting $500 on a wrist band, and I’m working 50 hours a week with a master’s degree and sometimes wonder how we’re getting groceries.

Sounds like a real dumpster fyre.

like, this was my rent, which I just spent on this thing that’s not happening.

Swapping this out for “The Beautiful Ones” was an excellent decision, but here’s a potential hot take: this should have replaced “Darling Nikki.” (Can you imagine an “Erotic City”/”Darling Nikki” single? Tipper Gore would have died before she could even start the PMRC.)

Don’t shit where you eat. Please. Your work spouse is about half as attractive as you think they are once the mystery/secrecy/danger is gone. Everyone is their better, more attractive self in a professional environment. The excruciating awkwardness of showing up for work the next morning and feeling like everyone…

Again? 11 million dead Soviet troops would like a word.

Big Foot’s evaluation went fairly smoothly-although she is not thrilled that he is mentioned PTSD, but he was aware of her reservations there and is willing to let her either come to that realization on her own or not- it’s not going to change how her therapy will go. Besides, it is actually the third in the list of…

I gave birth last Saturday, when I was only 25 weeks along, because my high blood pressure turned into preeclampsia and then HELLP syndrome in a matter of days. Original plan was to keep me at the hospital for as many weeks as possible before delivery, but my labs turned bad and then worse and doctors think I would…

Make America Drunk Again! Who’s with me?

True story, hippos are the best animals. The zoo announced they were getting hippos literally a week after I moved from the area. I was devastated.
