I used to get pretty excited about the Target designer collections - you could generally find something different (and a little fashion-y) for a reasonable price. It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly, some of those items have held up in my wardrobe for 10+ years.
But no way am I spending an afternoon (or morning)…

I agree with you except that I think there is one way for him to win...tell them that he would exchange their tickets for another date. Voila! No pissed off diners! (Because I bet dollars to doughnuts those parents didn't want to take their baby on their date night either.)

If your kid throws food on the floor in a restaurant, it is your ass that should be down on the floor picking it up at the end of the meal, too. I have been there and I have done that, and it sucks, but it's not in the server's job description.

People don't realize how over-stimulating restaurants can be for babies. My father always insists on going out to dinner with my baby, who was 6 months old over the holiday. Sure enough, Christmas Eve dinner at a nice ($20-30 plates, not as fancy as this joint, but still) restaurant, my son was not into hanging out…

Having kids means making sacrifices.

I agree. And I wish that parents like your friend would not bother bringing their children and ruining it for parents who have well-behaved children. There are certainly inappropriate venues for children of any kind (bars come to mind, or late at night). But there are well behaved kids out there who are polite, kind,…

I always feel awful when my kid makes a mess at a restaurant. He's two and some mess is inevitable. But I do clean up the area as best I can (picking up big stuff off the floor, tidying my table, etc), am unfailingly polite and cordial with my waitperson, and always leave a 25%+ tip when I am dining out with him. Of…

I'll take "People Who are Obvisously Not Woody Allen's Son, How Did We Not Notice This Earlier?" for $300, Alex.

He didn't adopt the child he married. He's - at least on paper - Ronan Farrow's biological father, and he's Dylan Farrow's adoptive father.

Often it is hard to seperate the appreciation of the art from the lifestyle of the artist. In the case of Woody Allen I avoid his films simply because I can't ignore what he has done - at best he seduced a girl who had a parental/uncleish relationship with and at worst a sexual fixsation with a seven year girl he…

Director of American Hustle, David O. Russell groped his transgender niece, but was not charged due to "lack of evidence". Woody Allen is a confirmed pedophile. Not even mentioning fucking Roman Polanski. Here, let's ladle out honors and lifetime achievement awards.

Jeez, we've got a bunch of sad-sacks commenting today. I thought it was funny.

My email to him:

The host responded with an intimate story to illustrate why she finds it so important to dedicate time to the Investigation Discovery show, even with the demands of her day job.

But she doesn't pay $2,ooo a day, which is what I was expecting to see here. I've used that SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum ($153) and it lasts like four months with daily use. I didn't re-buy it though because I saw no difference in my skin from when I was using $18 serums.

Also, while it was petty and childish and maybe not that big of a deal in the entire scheme of things, emergency vehicles could not move. At all. We're talking the risk of buildings completely burning down, heart-attacks being treated in ambulances, people bleeding out b/c of no access to blood banks. It was petty but…

I get what you're saying and I am VERY happy to dance on the grave of the GWB, but the thing that really chaps my chaps is that this is something ELECTED PUBLICLY-FUNDED OFFICIALS spent time planning, doing and lying about. It's a fucking juvenile asshole/dickwad/shithead/fuckface thing to do and if it was a stoned…

I can't stand Ken Cuccinelli but I trust him. I trust him to be the backstabbing, woman-hating, evil, no count asshole that he is. He was a dick but he was open about his dickishness.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why a significant number people find him to be a personable, likable, moderate Republican. Like... generally, even if I 100% disagree with a politician, I can at least muster a vague understanding of why their supporters feel the way they do. But with Christie I just DO NOT GET…

Not everyone has friends that they could call to take on a cat, since lots of people are allergic or live in buildings that don't allow pets. And the person who posted on Craigslist tried calling local animal shelters, but they were full. Maybe if they had posted an ad online someone would've adopted the cat, but…
