I realize this is just confirmation bias. My Mom passed away, unexpectedly what will be a month ago this Thursday. And it seems like everything I read now is about Moms or death. I know, I know. Confirmation bias. But also, my Mom used to sing to me “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” after she brought me home (I was…

I got into a discussion about this case on FB today. Someone wanted to talk about how we raise our boys, and how need to teach them how to deal with their emotions.

Please don’t think that every parent feels nagging longing to see their child when they’re away. I just had a week away from my four year old and while I missed her at times, but for most of the vacation we just relaxed and enjoyed. I wasn’t worried about her because she does fine staying at our parents and there was…

By that logic, we should not legalize heterosexual marriage. Men are more likely to abuse their female marital partners, so if we legalize it, it will expose more women to intimate partner violence.

In this climate, it makes more sense for her to ditch him for her career. I’d like to think she’s been manipulated in some way. But she’s a woman with…

Yeah, I’m done already today.

Idk. Julie is doing a different thing: Stand by her man, all the claims come out and she goes into hiding, and then comes out being more loud about how she’s standing by her man.

Today is now the best day of Samantha Markle's life since she got written about on Jez 

That’s probably the only thing I do in real life that is close to Belichick in his natural habitat, if I’m being honest.

I like the show but I don’t like the marketing of the show. It’s just so annoyingly over the top. These are STILL PHOTOS of characters. Who is gonna cry looking at that?
