Step mom

Hey, we must be cousins! My family has always liked to say “Never convicted!”

My mom says that women grieve the relationship before it’s over, so we move on “faster” after the break. Men wait until the actual breakup and then react. My experience has borne this out. I had checked out of my marriage a good year before I asked for a divorce. I did the things you are supposed to do to “fix”…

I was having a no sleep day about a month ago, had a mask in my pocket, got out of the car and stood in line at Trader Joe’s for about 5 minutes before I realized I didn’t have it on. I apologized to everyone, we were all six feet apart and outside, and put it on immediately. Everyone was very nice and said they’d all…

I’m absolutely sure Anna Wintour has work to do when it comes to how Vogue handles Black and brown women in all regards. That said, her very first cover as EIC (using a white model) was incredibly controversial at the time because she mixed jeans with a couture top on a casually styled model. It was controversial…

“I think that the fact that the cover itself is so charming, and so relaxed, and, for me, so surprising, and so real,” she muses, noting that the cover is “a very welcoming image.”

I know DC has a regulation that criminalizes spreading communicable diseases. Maybe the 9 idiots who refused to mask up while in close quarters should be cited under that now that it seems likely that one of them had the gift that keeps on giving.

When I was just a young assistant, my job was predominantly organising networking parties - it wasn’t great work, but I always got to stay overnight, and once the organising was done, I was free to have a drink or two and relax. One summer, I was arranging a rooftop bbq at this swanky boutique hotel, where even the…

Hey, look: another dumbass traitor/gun fetish-izer who should stay off of social media; ->announcing the location of the Speaker during the riot while the Capitol was under assault :

That video was taken before Trump spoke at the rally. I’m sure they were gleefully watching the riots, but that isn’t video of them while the rioting was happening. 

On Twitter, I saw his speech broken down into individual pieces to be looked at. He amassed that army of dimwit zealots, implored them to come to DC, and directed them to go to the Capitol and force the members of Congress to not count the electoral votes because the states”knew” that vote was “fraudulent” and would…

CW: Period talk below...

I am thoroughly heart-warmed by all these tales of workplace romances gone right.

So, a year after I got out of the Navy and a year into college, I got this summer job that I didn’t even really want, but I was living with my folks and my dad made it clear that I was either working that summer or finding somewhere else to live. The first week I was there, my boss was on vacation, so I got situated…

Well, he was cute. Not gonna pretend I didn’t notice, but it never occurred to me that he was interested. We both worked at the Seattle downtown Borders Books back in the day, and everybody spent their workday moving from one area to another, so you didn’t hang with the same people too long.

I worked in a college town as a phone representative for a few years. The sales floor at this company was like Real World or whatever the new version of that show is these days (*shakes fist at cloud*). Everyone was young and fucking each other, and the drama was apparently off the charts. I was 23 and still a virgin…

Years ago, I quit a job that literally made me cry at my desk to work something fun and temporary for the summer. It was a super fun place- a young restaurant crowd working summer jobs at the beach. Everyone was younger; I was like the old lady of the bunch, at 37. There was this guy in another department who was…

🙏Thank you.🙏
I’m not sure if there is truly such a thing as “soul mates” but he was very close to mine. We did this magical thing: we made each other better just by being in one anothers’ lives.
He was the love of my life - - - so far. I haven’t met another, yet. My love for him isn’t past tense; I still love him.…
