At first, I wanted to respond that I actually won a legit online sweepstakes for a weeklong vacation in Curacao a few years back, and the initial email from the tourism agency holding it essentially was a long set of instructions in varying sizes/colors of font telling me to email them all my personal info.

Recently one of my library patrons called me over to ask how to attach a file to an email. I generally don't comment on people's files unless I see horribly misspelled words, but in this case she had a doc file filled with her personal information (name, social, address, birth date, etc) and was trying to attach it to…

Holy shit, she's 33 years old?! Wow. She doesn't look a day over 2. Good for her.

After a few minutes, I returned to the table. The man ordered a hamburger.

I strongly recommend everyone read " Emporer of Maladies: A History of Cancer" - it's a history book written by a doctor and I learned more about cancer in 20 minutes of that book than I had in my life.

No kidding! I feel like there is a way to make this clinic pay for the egregious error without bringing race into play. I mean, they gave her the wrong sperm, and it is obvious because of the baby's race, but why did we need to start talking about how the baby's race is a huge negative? Why are they so insistent as to…

That's why I try to limit myself to one glass of wine a day. Cheers!

Dude give yourself a break. You just had life come out of you two months ago. It took almost 10 months to cook that baby it's going to take some time to get the weight off. Please be nice to yourself. What you did is an amazing thing and produced an amazing little baby because of your body. You're much more than your…

So, I had to deal with this recently I asked my doctor who happens to be one of the top fibroid surgeons in the world. He said that in all of his many years in doing laparoscopic surgery (two a day usually) he's never once seen it result in spreading cancer, and that the reason why this has become so publicized…

Why can't I help but feel that this is the best thing that's happened to them in YEARS?

Hmm.

You can see it in the woman who told the story. Her protestations and facepalm are quickly brushed over and moved past but you can see she's dying to call these dudes out for their shit but realizes she's stuck.

Forgiveness is not about absolving the victimizer of blame or censure; it's more about consciously letting go of endlessly festering rage and bitterness on the part of the victim, which while entirely understandable and natural, will ultimately do nothing but permanently poison the victim's life, in addition to the…

Having to have your boxed wine delivered to your house is a new kind of shut-in low, man. You can handle 7-8 minutes at Safeway.

I can't believe nobody has made an app called iBleed

There is a high school in my hometown that still uses the Redskins as its mascot. I was back home last weekend and asked my mom if they still use it. She said yes, but that it's really controversial and a lot of people want them to change it. I said, "um YEAH. They definitely should change it." And she said, "Let them…

Not just white, I genuinely think we all hold unexamined racist beliefs by the simple fact that we live in a racist society. It's important to realize it and try to get better instead of flipping the fuck out every time someone calls you a racist.

It was a terrific piece by Jones & TDS! I can't believe that woman called the POLICE because she was scared she might look like an asshat on TV. (By showing the whole thing - including the hand shakes, they made it pretty obvious that was the only thing she had to be scared of...)

Um, there were cookies involved in my "sex ed" class in 2nd or 3rd grade - in that my religion teacher brought in cookies and juice, but some of the cookies had bites taken out of them, and some of the juice cups had lipstick on the rim, and we were told that that's what you're like when you have premarital sex -…
