Isn’t it great that everyone is mad at Hillary now instead of Elizabeth Warren or the Bernie Bros? She’s sly like a fox.

I hear ya. “inspirational” quotes like that just make me feel worse, like I’m even more of a failure and time is going by and I’m not MAKING THE MOST OF IT. I’m not LIVING MY BEST LIFE. You know what? It’s OK. Swan, you are here and you are strong. It takes strength to hang in there when you feel like shit and want to…

I clicked the star, but also laughing because I’m all bundled up in Minnesota. Just looking at a house listing here yesterday with all tile floors. No flipping way! SO COLD

I like rooms with walls and doors. I would also rather not see the kitchen if I don’t need to. Those dirty dishes can sit in the sink and I can ignore them in peace in another room.

I know you mean well and are reacting out of horror, but don’t ever say things like that where your daughters can hear you. Believing that their parent might commit murder will keep them from ever telling you if they get hurt. Murdering the perpetrator would only hurt your daughters more, as appealing as it might be.

Yes! Women don’t care about politics. Just cover wommenz stuff (sarcasm) AUGH.

True that and depressing as hell. Definitely “supposedly feminist” The person testifying is a woman who is being attacked with the usual sexist crap. This is the EXACT thing that Jezebel should be talking about. Good grief.

It’s a slur. You could have easily made your point without calling him “butteryplug” It’s a slur and you know it is.

The whole “Beowulf” thing is also interesting. Would like an interview with grandfather.

I’m a Warren supporter and I am unhappy with Joe and Pete’s tactics, but you need to lay off the gay slurs.

“His grandfather wanted him to be named Beowulf. His parents instead chose Gardner Flint Minshew II, even though there is no Gardner Flint Minshew I.” Talk about burying the lede. I want more on this topic.

Readers? What readers?

I love The Root and fear that all the white folks are going to go over there and ruin the comment streams. I read it religiously, but never comment (because white people don’t need to be heard from in every single space) 

Sure they were. GenX, here. Just out of college in 1992. Could totally have been birthin’ a baby then. Would not have been happy about it, but...

You know what can also make it hard to remember things? TRAUMA. 

*snort* I unstarred this so I could star it again

That dog could kill her if he wanted to, yet he chooses not to. What does it say about her that a “stupid” animal has more self-control than she does?

Not that you’re asking for advice, but I struggle with this sometimes. What helps a lot is to get ready for bed some time before you actually are tired. Get the teeth brushed, jammies on, pillows fluffed, bed turned down before you sit down to watch TV or read or websurf or whatever. It’s SO much easier to just roll…

You can boil water without putting the lid on. Lid on is a little faster, but not that much. According to this article, it’s about a minute 15 seconds for four quarts. https://www.cooksillustrated.com/how_tos/6646-covered-vs-uncovered-pots-for-boiling-water

Maybe people shopping elsewhere is what is already happening? Maybe the people shopping elsewhere is why VS is not doing well? Just a thought...
