While I was fairly young when this happened, I still remember it and the only thing I could’ve told you for years was what she did. It wasn’t until years later that I discovered her side of the story. I suspect even now lots of people don’t know it because as you point out it became just a late night monologue joke.

A) Lorena was a victim of long-term abuse from her husband. Abuse has been clearly been shown to mentally affect victims. Listening to the description of how she was found, which is not just coming from her but multiple places, it should be pretty damn clear that her mental state was clearly not sound.

If you haven’t watched any of it, then I heartily recommend starting it ASAP.

I spend every episode of this show wishing, much like Schneider, that I could be a part of the Alvarez family. It’s just such a wonderful representation of a family who squabbles and loves in equal measure, which is true of so many families.

His place in history is very much not going to be what he believes it will be.

How she has survived as long as she has is truly a mystery to me.

And both of the probably unhappy that someone could confuse them if they just saw the name of this newsletter in passing.

The number of people who seriously underestimate how difficult satire is to pull off is nearly the entire world’s population.

O death, please give me your sweet release.

Over the past 30 years, we’ve seen the rise of antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer, and poor antibiotic stewardship which not only impacts resistance but can hinder gut bacteria. We’ve also seen kids staying inside more and having less time outside, so the immune system has very little to do. Add into that that over…

I can’t imagine anything less romantic.... The said of course, I just don’t like the bread bowls to begin with.

I’m just so tired of seeing his ‘face’....just so tired.

Wily nily. That’s how I organize my books. It would horrify a librarian to be sure.

To claim that it’s somehow so very brave to proclaim your Christian faith in the United States is just utterly laughable.

I sometimes wonder if all of the shows illustrating the horrors of high school are people somehow eliding middle and high school together. I mean the book that is the germ for Mean Girls is about girls in middle school, not high school.

I was so glad I wasn’t drinking something when I was watching the peiosde or that ending joke would’ve killed either my phone or me.
