Please buoy my spirits - is Fox really truly losing viewers? I was under the impression that nothing had changed for them, ratings-wise. Please give me the hope that people really are changing the channel?

Never have I been more grateful that my relatives all voted for Clinton. It made for a sad Thanksgiving in 2016, but at least I don’t have to fight with them about this stuff.

I choose both! I want love AND money! I have an awesome husband who is the love of my life, and I would not trade him, ever. But financial struggles are so difficult, and I have been through some ROUGH financial times before, and they aren’t fun. I remember a time when I had only $11 to my name. It was not my favorite…

Unions overall are a good thing. What they need instead are strict guidelines within union contracts, guidelines outlining disciplinary behavior and strict consequences and investigations and how that will all be handled.

I actually once knew a man (who worked for a private corporation) who would get records to file, and because he didn’t want to do it, he literally threw it away. For YEARS! When I heard this, my jaw dropped.

And Ben Carson.

I 100% believe this to be the case. I’ve sadly known a few people in serious decline in old age, and they’ve said/done things they would have never said or done in their prime. A very close childhood friend of mine was in an accident and had a head injury, and while she was in hospital, the floor she was on was with…

I have to be very careful with details, but I know a powerful person in an industry who had major sex scandal and it did NOTHING to affect his work or reputation. Not. A. Thing. I did not work with him directly, but I did cross paths with him a fair amount. Many of the people in power in that company are assholes and…

Hot damn this was well written. Bravo. Bravo with extra stars!!

What’s the tea on Kelly Ripa? I know nothing!

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere on Jez, but I have an in-law who is a cis gay man married to another man, and he voted for Trump in a swing state. Privileged men are still privileged men, and they clearly thought Trump was good enough because they don’t have to suffer a lot of the consequences of his terrible choices.…

Thanks for literally making me lol. Ha ha, so good. Extra double stars for you!

The thing that gets me about him, that made me question him in the first place, was how much he loved the absolute worst people on the shows. Like, he thinks Kandi (Burress’s) mom is charming and he “loves” it! Like, that woman is absolutely abusive. There was another horrible mom on another franchise (maybe real…

Whatever you do, don’t just send it in an envelope or a ring box. I’ve sent rings in the mail before (they were inexpensive gift rings), and BOTH times they were stolen from the packaging before being delivered. I’m sure whomever opened them was like,, “fuck, it’s just hematite.” But they’re still bastards.

I agree about the heirloom ring. Plus some of the heirs might be non-assholes who would love it now or in the future. Case in point: I have my great-grandmother’s wedding ring from the 1800's. I appreciate it. But I have other asshole cousins who would not (and obviously it was not offered to them due to their long…

I’d say return the heirloom, since his mom didn’t cheat on you (and/or maybe their are other non-assholes in the family who would like it.) But kudos to you on all else. Mazel! Way to empower yourself!

I love this movie too. Such a charming classic! And if you haven’t seen The Enchanted Cottage (1945), I recommend it!

This whole story is adorable and charming. I love these sweet memories. I have similar memories of watching old movies with my parents. Also, I used to cross stitch, and remember spending winters in my (also wood paneled) family room creating a cross stitch pattern from scratch. My user name is actually an old Bob…

Sadly, many of these are new, introduced in 2017. You can look them up number by number to see when they started. But this apocalyptic congress and president has really gone to town to try to screw everyone in this country.

I don’t see a story about this yet, so I’m posting here, the most relevant current post about horrible things happening in politics right now (there’s a bill below to criminalize abortion) - really important stuff today:
