Well I for one am shocked that Jennifer Weiner would overreact and then play the victim rather than actually defending the substance of something. 

This is what happens when you listen to waze and miss the exit for the high road. 

“How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs turkeys that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?”

Before I ended up with Mr. PW, I used to go with my parents’ to have Christmas lunch/dinner at the Peninsula in Beverly Hills. It wasn’t cheap but it wasn’t super expensive either, and although it was a set menu, the food was yummy. The best part, however, was watching my sheltered South Orange County mother play the…

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer (stage II) around Halloween last year, and since he announced his condition in March, Alex Trebek has been my mental cancer buddy. Thankfully, I’m done with treatment (a few surgeries and chemo) and have a good prognosis, but Trebek’s journey is really getting to me.

“This will either work fantastically or be an epic shit show”

Three years ago, I was flying to DC in October & stopped at the Airport Denny’s in MKE before departing. They had a bunch of flyers up selling me on Thanksgiving dinner of Moons over Miami, & it got me to thinking: would I, unmarried, childless, no partner otherwise, be a Denny’s T’day eater when my mom died, whenever…

Sure! It might feel like a bit too much breadcrumb, but if you like breadcrumb (like I do), you won’t mind at all. 

I don’t know if you are in Chicago or work remotely from The Takeout World HQ, but if you are here or when you visit you should go to Pompeii Bakery and try the Chicken Parm Pizza Strudel. It is a similar concept to what you made here and I think it still costs about $5. It is one of those things with a dumb name that…

However you prepare your fav mashed potatoes, the most difficult thing for me is saving some for the next day. In the morning a take a large portion and make a potato pancake for breakfast. Golden crispy, with a good cheddar melted into it. The house smells like heaven should. 

OK I understand my method has caused a lot of controversy. In my defense, regardless of the order you peel, chop, boil, etc - it still takes too long and leaving them plain sucks AND YOU KNOW IT

A few years back, I lived in a rural country town. If my kiddo was bike riding sans helmet, I heard about it. If hamburger was on sale we called each other. I n the summer, everyone met on the town common weekly for hotdogs, provided by the fire dept. It was bucolic is my point.

There’s a comedian with a bit about how the dream job is to be the drummer for Coldplay. You make as much as Chris Martin, but without people recognizing you on the street, but still enough clout to get a bit role on Game of Thrones (which apparently the drummer from Coldplay did, and no one noticed).

Honest question - have you seen influencers at work creating their “content”? I mean, it’s probably better than many, many jobs, but it’s not just living their lives and snapping a candid every now and then. We were lucky enough to go to Santorini this past spring - a very small island that is highly photographable,…

I’m 34...having worldwide fame and fortune would still be my dream (though I’d never admit it). It’s probably much more common that you’d think; Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was on TV for a while. 

Since the population is aging with percentages starting to reflect that aging, being an over-38 “influencer” could be lucrative indeed.

Fitting, and absolutely true:

I would say it reflected the fact you’re raising a 3 year old and are now very very tired. 

I’m so happy we have SNS this week because I wanted to thank all the SNS contributors who helped encourage me to get married in a hurry. I guess it was four weeks ago that I posted saying that my boyfriend of 10 years and I were thinking of finally getting married while my father, who is declining rapidly from late…

Once I purchased a successful, popular Halloween party, which was famous for the outre costumes the party goers frequently chose. Then I demanded that the party goers stick to only traditional Halloween costumes - vampires, witches, and ghosts ONLY. Then all of the cool, creative party goers left. However, I was also…
