salt on watermelon too ..... Trussst!

I had a boss who once told me if you can't explain something (simply), then YOU don't understand it. That stuck with me and had revealed people's lack of understanding more times than I can think of.

I'm not going to say you're insensitive, but I will suggest that it's really tricky business to use "your" rules to judge a relationship that you aren't involved in. It's impossible to know what went on there, so how in the world can you mete out "right" and "wrong" as labels. Not to mention she was possibly REALLY…

what you described with the animals sounds deeply like how my 72 year old mother died. In her last months we had to watch her wither away - skin and bones by the end. Total disinterest in food, showering, anything. Even talking on the phone. She had NO dementia mind you. (Except smoking - that she is likely STILL…

Ha!!! Oh so were we. But the implication (in the 1970s) was tHat mommy will never have the money. Only daddy's have the money. It's hilarious now!!!

oh you should find the parody "antidepressants" set to the carpenters' "On top of the world". I had TEARS running down my face!!

I remember my (Irish) mother singing something about ..."For Daddy's got the money and Mother had NONE!" (Emphasis on none). Not super empowering was it??

I hadn't even considered that a mixed (shit?)bag of laundry (diapers in with whites, for example) was something that would be considered. Eek!!! :)

seriously!! If THIS is where we start "fixing" abuse, them we are more hopeless than I even imagined.

wow. I am floored to learn that. I find it disgraceful and can you fathom if the reverse were true - conservative types being forced to listen to a liberal rant before receiving something that they were entitled to by law? I'm disgusted.

right - I get that it's not solidly formed excretions in said washer, but still I find it a bit off putting. Am I overly squeamish, microbe-wise??

sooo maybe it's because I'm child-free but is anyone else the LEAST bit grossed out by putting cloth diapers into a washing machine in your house? Ya know, feces all over the place like? Even just reading it makes me make a face of perpetual ickiness.

.... And FRIED Cappellini!!! From King Umbertos. The only food I miss from Long Island!!

what the world needs now, is BIDETS!!!

this is exactly what i believe Barbra ALWAYS looks like off camera. That exact expression, accompanied by a lot of shrill and abrasive questions. I detest Barbra.

Same here... if you work at a high end place, that could be a lootttttt of delayed $.

I for one never thought cash tips were preferred for irs reasons but for immediacy reasons.

whoo hoo! a thousand times i would recommend All American in Massapequa!

dyiiinnngggg. It's gorgeous

You're right on. i'm probably exaggerating with "dreadful" and i'm happy to say that it's sincerely VERY rare.
