I like my steaks well done. Sorry, I know I’m ruining a great piece of meat but that’s how I like them. However, the first time I tried to order a filet mignon well-done at a restaurant (age 17), my mother made me change my order because she was not going to pay that much money for a ruined piece of meat. Since my…

My understanding of the photos is that the girls “looked” young. Now, looks can be deceiving but given that he was facing charges for raping a teenage girl, it certainly says a lot about his attitude that he was drinking in the presence of young girls. And, while there may have been an “understanding” about the…

And regardless of what he said today, he’ll repeat that he won with the biggest electoral college vote since Reagan tomorrow or the next day. And if someone calls him on it, he’ll just say “a lot of people” are saying it, not him, just “a lot of people.” “A lot of people” seems to be Trump’s go to source for…

That’s not exactly true. At this point, we only have Polanski’s people’s word that the judge agreed to the deal. There is nothing on the record that says he did. Secondly, part of the reason the judge decided not to approve the deal was that he read an article on Polanski that included photographs of Polanski at a…

I had a friend who worked on fast food burger commercials and they would actually dunk the burger patty in oil to get that “juicy” effect on the burgers. So, I can’t actually watch burger commercials anymore because all I can think about is that poor actor having to actually bite into a burger that’s been dunked in…

It can take awhile and the changes can be so subtle that you don’t realize they’ve happened until you have some years’ distance and can look back and see the growth but therapy with a good therapist does help you heal. It’s not a cure-all and there will be times where the pain feels as raw as the day it happened even…

I had to take a polygraph test once and I beat it. The trick is to be so freaked out that every answer to a question (even truthful answers like “What is your name?”) register as a lie.

I have to say, I am a white woman and you pretty much articulated my rage at the outcome of this election. In fact, I think this very similar to the rant I gave when asked how I felt about the election results the day after. Thank you.

They’re covered under my insurance. I take Viagra for an off-label purpose and my insurance covers it.

I think your recollection is right to a degree. Harding blew it. Kerrigan opened the door with some mistakes and Baiul’s routine was gorgeous but I think it didn’t have the jumps Kerrigan’s did. Although I’m remembering that Baiul improvised and did throw some jumps in at the end of her routine which is what pushed…

Yes and I would recommend calling Feinstein since she has aligned herself a little too cozily with a Trump on a lot of issues. Remind her that her vote will help determine your vote when she runs for reelection in two years.

While I’m a big fan of Oksana, she didn’t blow Kerrigan away. They tied for first and Baiul won because she got the higher score in the artistic impression, per the rules. And even that was super close with Baiul getting a 5.9 and Kerrigan getting a 5.8 from the tie-breaking judge.

I wasn’t Team Harding but I was also never Team Kerrigan. It was the way she kept wailing “Why me? Why meeeeee?” after getting knee-capped.

The Supreme Court refused to overturn a death penalty case for insufficient counsel even though the defendant’s lawyer would fall asleep during the trial. I’m not worried. Getting a conviction overturned by an appellate court is about very narrow legalities and is not based on the facts of the case. It’s highly…

Ah, I see. I did a little research and I think you’re referring to what’s being discussed in the below link, which says it didn’t restrict people from coming in, just changed the process and that it was attached to a “must pass” spending bill, which meant that the Republicans tacked it on, knowing Obama couldn’t…

What are you talking about? Obama had nothing to do with this. Every President has made use of Executive Orders and Obama signed less than any two term President in both this and the last century.

C’mon, I thought we all agreed about there being no spoilers in the headlines. **throws away DVD copy of documentary entitled “Famous Black People and Whether They’re Dead or Alive.”**

I don’t know. Intellectually, it’s not a difficult job. It requires a lot of attention to detail, the ability to work under pressure and to sometimes work with difficult personalities. You have to have good computer skills and organizational skills. That doesn’t sound that much different than what’s expected from a…

Yeah, I suppose you’re right. I’m looking at it from a legal secretay’s point of view where I do a similar job, have decent hours, get overtime and great benefits and also get paid $20K more a year, all on a high school education. I do always shake my head that I usually make more than a teacher with a master’s…

Yeah, but it’s $70K with no overtime and no benefits and being on call 24/7. I’ve had a few friends who’ve worked as personal assistants to celebrities and it’s a shit job. One of them worked for Sally Field and she was considered to be one of the best because once she sent you home for the day, she never bothered…
