“What I think is so powerful—when my father says that he’s going to... there will be a cure for AIDS in the next 10 years, there will be, and God bless,” Tiffany said. “Like, thank you. Like, yes.”

Her comment doesn’t even make sense because it seems to imply that he stopped supporting them AFTER politics (i.e., right now!).

I got spinach lasagna from Lou Malnati's. Which is actually a decent restaurant, no matter what stupid tv writers think.

Just here to say there’s a difference between having a mental illness and being a dangerous person. Also diagnosing someone with schizophrenia is really complicated and this isn't how it's done. 

The man has never let a truth stand in the way of an entertaining lie.  If he says he’s going, I fear the possibility that he’s in remission.

My wife and I bought a house on see Lake Michigan just north of Chicago. Beautiful views of the water, the city, and the home is spectacular for raising kids. It was built in the 80s, so we didn’t think anything weird would come up. For the first 1.5 years in the house, nothing. The occasional creaky floorboard but…

The One Who Got Away

Working Title: Grandma’s final visit

Absolutely no part of this story is exaggerated, and I still don’t know what to make of it. Until I was five, I was raised in a teeny tiny town. My small neighborhood was more like a compound, where all of the people who worked in the clinic next door lived. There was a big garden in the middle of the neighborhood…

Can't leave my shark and lobsta out. 

After a truly shitty week with complications from a routine colonoscopy, I was rewarded when my Halloween costumes for the dogs arrived in the mail. Cutest narwhal ever!

I never particularly wanted to be informed of or comment on anything CC does after that whole Fyre Fest with Flower Crowns fiasco, but here goes: how fucking tacky of her. Reducing somebody to their pronouns just to say, “Look at me followers, I’m dating someone nonbinary!” I hope they’re fucking offended by that,…

This happened in November last year. The only positive I have been able to take away from it is that I finally have something for this story contest, because I definitely cannot afford to move!

So this is going to sound like nothing. At the time it FELT like nothing. It was only the next morning that I realized how fucked up it was. After the story last year about the yoga retreat (submitted by annclayborn) I figured I’d share.

When I was in college in the early 90's, I shared an apartment with a friend of mine in northern Alabama. Small, cotton town, with lots of large plantation homes scattered throughout our county. We lived in the Pryor Manor, right off of the courthouse square. The house was probably close to 150 years old. The Pryors…

This makes me very sad - There’s always been one store in town that sold this for years and I always had my fridge stocked and friends would be amazed.

Does anyone else remember the Tab energy drink in the pink can that made an appearance in the mid 2000s? That stuff got me through the bar exam so I owe Tab a debt of gratitude. It was kind of gross, but way less gross than Red Bull.

This happened to my mom in the 80’s and is one of her many freaky stories.

She’s bringing “diversity of thought” to a court that will be packed with six of nine justices that are affiliated with the Federalist Society? Oh, that’s rich!

When I was a kid, my parents were thinking about moving us from a big city to a nearby more rural state, to save money, be near better schools, and be closer to my mom’s brother. So one day, we made the few hour drive north as a family to look at a house my mom had found in a small town near my uncle. It was a…
