My favorite line from season 1 came out of Julie, I believe, while they were digging through the phone records or something. “What news do you bring?” Now that I work from home, I use it to describe how I feel when I make human contact during the day.

Somewhat related - if I could get everyone on this earth to stop saying “right” at the end of every sentence, I’d be a very happy human.

Sometimes the hardest part about these incidents is coming to terms with the fact that we may never know why they occur or what motivates people to do them.

I laughed at this. My husband, who is the opposite of controlling, jokingly forbids me to shop at Lulu because they put that Ayn Rand BS on their shopping bags a while back. Just bringing it up makes him flip out. I mean, he’s right, but it’s still amusing.

What if I fire someone, have you absorb 100% of their responsibilities at a 10% increase and call it a raise to which you should be forever content?

Yep. Or my personal favorite, cue the assholes who point out that shootings on the whole are down. I love this. That doesn’t mean anything if they’re still astronomically high! It’s like someone telling you you’re only going to get punched 30 times today instead of 60 like you did every day last year. How could you be…

If you’re thinking about buying one of those items offered on the 75% sales KS offers (like the one going on now), scroll down to the description and see if it says “manufactured for sale at kate spade outlet stores”. If it does, you’re not getting a sale and the product quality is going to be inferior. What it should…

I feel you. The two partners at my small firm expect christmas gifts every year...in fact, I was told by a co-worker that she usually goes all out for them. Spending hundreds of dollars, etc. That first year, all five of us went into the conference room and the partners seriously sat at the head of the table and…

Can anyone offer advice about what to do if your stupid company doesn’t offer a 401k and your joint income with your husband is too high to participate in a roth? Should we just up my husband’s contributions to his 401k through his job?

Thank you for this.

Agreed. Can’t remember if it was here or over on Gawker, but someone used the phrase human quesadilla to describe Trump and I just about lost my mind.

Came here to say the same thing. Combined, my husband and I are in the top 7% for our area and are just now at the point where we don’t do the whole “ok, so we have $23 a day to spend until pay day...” thing anymore. Student loans man. Oh and living in DC for 8 years before finally getting some sense and moving the F…

Right? Can’t have that.

The statesman piece is really important. I’m a leftie, but am genuinely curious as to how Conservatives could be comfortable with any of these clowns representing the U.S. abroad. I’m of the mind that the average person doesn’t run for President. I want the smartest individual in the room to run. Someone who’s…

Yep. I’m a lobbyist and last week I had to take a bunch of “business guys” representing “X” industry to the Hill for meetings and one of them actually said this regarding the minimum wage:

“I mean, she started it.”

“They turned to look at each other and back at the figure only instead of being at the other end of the hall it was standing right in front of them, they could smell something that reminded them of sick, and could see every line on this mans face but there were no eyes.”

OMG Lady in the Water was sooo bad. I walked out of that one too, as well as Father’s Day (apologies Robin Williams), The Day After Tomorrow, In the Bedroom, Getting Even with Dad (Jesus!), the Village, and the Ninth Gate. I would have walked out on Pitch Black too, but I was on a “date” so I stuck it out. That guy is…

Free Carl Lee!

This really has nothing to do with this interesting article, but did anyone else wonder about the friend who pushed Rachelle into the pool? I imagine the guilt would be overwhelming...and unbearable.
