I don't want your ugly kid near me so this sounds like a good deal.

Terribly sad to hear the details. I always hope/assume that people with more resources than the average person can ultimately pull themselves together, but stories like this are a reminder of our common fragility.

When Gabriel showed up I turned to my boyfriend and said uh oh, I think Bob's days are numbered - since they whenever they bring on a new black character, an old one gets killed off.

Whoa. I Thee Dread recently followed me, so I guess I am out of the grays and have the power to bring others out of the grays. When I just starred your post, it turned from gray to black before my eyes. I feel...bizarrely powerful. Like I am magic. A benevolent magician, solidifying people with magnanimity.

Technically this isn't the funeral, just the viewing. I don't know what the situation is for everyone else, but for me going to viewings is like taking the kids to soccer when you have elderly parents. "Oh look, Betty's third cousin by marriage from her third marriage just passed..."

I was just saying in another thread, I'm completely in awe of healthcare workers who volunteer or continue to care for patients with Ebola. I keep reading stories about nurses and doctors who continue to come to work, after seeing countless colleagues die, and it just brings me to tears. (Related: this week's…

Well to be fair, Texas was always a close second.

It's weird. You would think Florida would be responsible for the end of the world.

I once had what I thought was a small argument over an enchilada with my sister that directly resulted in me not obtaining the family car my mom wanted to give me.

I'm just...

How do her boobs not move? If I danced around in that outfit I'd have two black eyes!

Favorite cover of the secret baby variety. So many questions:

Yep. It is like the Louis CK stand up about how men are afraid women will laugh at them, women are afraid men will murder them.

It's a start. Now, where's the one for Creed?

Embarrassing confession time! I like Matt Damon's purty face in "Behind the Candelabra."

Fanny packs can be worn over the shoulder. Much cooler, if you get the right style fanny pack.

Plus the cross bags slowly wear on my shoulders. However, my hips are huge and thusly fanny packs are perfect. Why would women even carry all our stuff on our upper bodies when our lower bodies are much sturdier.

I have two fanny packs and you bet you bottom dollar I wear them out in public.

My brother wears a fanny pack everywhere and he was so grumpy when I told him it was becoming fashionable. Same with the elastic-around-the-ankle sweatpants. The boy is 26 and he wants to look like a middle-aged tourist.

I still find the general populations' learning curve on sex and gender strange. Admittedly, my dad is a psychologist, but a school psychologist in rural Arizona. He explained it to me 27 years ago (I was five). He must have learned it some 12+ years before that in college. It's not like its new information. (Or…
