When my grandmother had my mom the nurses asked if she wanted to see her, and she was “no.” lol That was just my grandmother, though. She loved all of her kids, but by the time she’d got around to my mom she was just kind of done with the whole theatrics of birth. Plus, she really wanted a boy, which she finally got…

The silly thing about all of this Ellen hoopla is that it’s focused on Ellen. I have no affinity for Ellen, I have never watched her show (shows?), but I have worked below the line on plenty of bullshit and I got to say they treat you like shit in Hollywood, because they can. You know what working for Ellen is…

Here is my nephew who just turned 8 months old this week. I’ve been meaning to post pictures of him but I keep forgetting to.

Sorry, can’t take a comment about doing “more research” seriously when you clearly did not read my entire piece, lol!

Mommy blogging is one massive circle-jerk. 

It just seems like she could probably lighten up on it a bit. Like, I don’t know anyone who thinks she’s actually going to meet up with her Hell’s Angel boyfriend once she finishes her shift bartending at the VFW or whatever.

I don’t know why she insists on bringing up “authenticity” in every one of her rants. Like, sure, you could be your “authentic self”, but you clearly never have been. (Which is fine! Artists can have a persona! Just don’t try to claim that your obvious persona is actually your “authentic self”.)

I get the impression that Lorde might just be the tinyest bit full of herself. “I may dispense my genius upon the little people. I may not. But isn’t the mere anticipation of what I’ll do next enough to enrich your small lives beyond your wildest imaginings? Of course it is.”

I really want to like this show but it’s just so...BAD. I keep watching it thinking it will somehow get better, but no. Every character seems to have the same mission which is to make life impossibly difficult for themselves and everyone around them. Argh

Saw this on our walk last night and it felt like a sign ...

Who else is still cooking? I made chicken tacos last night and holy shit they were amazing.

Can anyone tell me why the comments won’t load on most posts? It is hit or miss, mostly miss. If I disable cross-site tracking, they usually show up, but not always. I allowed dangerous sites in the preferences, but that still isn’t a guarantee that the comments will load. My current browser is Brave but I’ve tried it…

6 people live in my house, and while there are times that would be handy (holidays, etc.), it would mostly just be the cause of even more stress. “No, THAT one is clean and the OTHER one is dirty. How are both dishwashers half-full of dirty dishes? Now I have to move dirty dishes just so we can run one full load.…

I think they were trying to be bad, too!!!! I’m so excited to find someone who agrees with me on this point. 

Big fan of Brandy and this column from the Outline days, looking forward to reading it here.

I feel this in my soul. We refer to our neighbor as leaf blower man. I am convinced that leaf blowers are completely useless, a tool designed to burn fossil fuels and get men out of doing any meaningful second shift work. 

They have ONE kid!! And Justin, for some of us normies parenting 24/7 is our every day. 

I really love the mental image of Ivanka making two maids lift her up while she pretends to do a pull up and then being so proud of herself for what she accomplished.

That’s cute! Your childhood memory reminds me of one of the stories in a Beverly Cleary book, when Ramona squeezes an entire tube of toothpaste into the sink:

CNN ran a story about a man who might die without his scheduled living donor liver transplant because, while his surgery is medically necessary, the surgery to obtain part of his uncle’s liver is not. Our society and health care system is facing many, many difficult choices. IVF is not high priority, IMO. You may not…
