I like open concept as well. I also think of a closed kitchen as a relic from the days when household chores were “women’s work”. (Also, as others have said, the entire reason for closed kitchens and closed concept predates air conditioning and good ventilation systems and good central heating systems. You were…

Ditto, I live in a very blue state, but of course every state has their Trumpsters! And there’s someone in my neighborhood (who drives an over-sized pickup, naturally), with Trump/Pence stickers, and every time I go on a walk and I pass that truck, I start cursing out loud and I cannot stop myself. I passed another…

Yes, loved The Fall. He was the most handsome, fucked up human ever in that show.

I’ve only heard a handful of Sam Smith’s interviews, and he always seemed like a nice man who puts out music I don’t enjoy. But props to him for finding his niche. (I know there are people who love listening to sad music when they’re depressed, to get their cry on, but I am not one of those people.) I routinely skip…

Am I misreading something? Per the NYTimes article, I thought the restoration historians found that underneath the grime (which was originally thought to be exposed stone, hence the reason for it being so dark) was whitewash paint etc., hence the restoration back to the whitewash coating. So even if it was painted…

OMG this is amazing what the hell is this???

Also the barefoot-defenders are ignoring that it’s typically an HR policy to enforce closed-toed shoes because bare feet are easily injured and a liability. I’ve worked in a 5 person office and in a company of 80,000 employees from all over the globe, and in every size of office in between, and most professional…

I’m coming from an orthopedic background here (in that, I’m not a doctor, but have family members who all work in the orthopedic world), but I think the huge reason this happens is because women....insist....on wearing......terrible, ill-fitting.....uncomfortable....unsupportive shoes. I don’t blame women. I blame the…

This enrages me. Instead of stopping the cause, cover your ass after the fact. Ugh.

As soon as I was old enough to understand anything in the adult world, I developed white hot hatred of Strom Thurmond. I was very politically active as a youngin’ (and still am), so I was one of the rare people in my young peer group complaining about politicians from other states. Strom was on my shit list until he…

Damn. What hotel? Bed bugs are the worst - both my husband and my niece (separately) lived in apartments with bed bugs and it....is....a........night mare. With PTSD like psychological torture after the fact.

One of my former co-workers used to work at Disney World as an entertainer there, and her whole extended family worked for Disney corporate, and boy did she have some stories. My feelings about Disney are this: hate the executives, love the rest of the workers. Love the artists and the entertainers and the…

Girl, YES.

LOVE her new album. Been listening to it non-stop to the point where I’ve almost ruined the songs for myself. But not yet.

Yes to all of this. And yes to this: “But men don’t notice how much they help other men — they only hold it against the women.”

Btw, has anyone noticed how conveniently there was a raid on a Benghazi suspect on Sunday? The timing feels mighty suspicious. The Trumpanzee’s favorite past time is bringing up Benghazi in arguments, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this resurfaced in order for Drumpf to have more of a smoke screen to deflect from his…

Picking from the top members of the GOP to lead us is really like we’re playing russian roulette (har har). I’m not usually into puns, but today I cannot be stopped! Anyhow, there are so many bad choices, it’s hard to know which one sucks more. My entire 2017 has felt like a trauma fever dream because of Drumpf, but…

Thanks for this new favorite, I will be using it liberally (har har): “Trumpanzees” 

I loved that movie. It was weird but wonderful.

People definitely were tinier back then (even just statistically speaking). At my thinnest as an adult (which was thin for everybody), even then I couldn’t wear any of my mom’s vintage clothing. All the bodices were like doll bodices! I felt like a giant in comparison. This was how I felt in comparison:
