This may sound weird but I think if the dress were brown and the shoes black, I may feel differently. 

The biggest problem I have with them is that they’re brown and she’s wearing a black dress, yeck. But the shoes in and of themselves, I don’t really have a problem with them. 

Ironically, while I like ketchup, salsa and tomato sauce, I cannot stand tomatoes in slices, wedges or whole. For me, it’s a texture thing. Yeah, I know I’m an absolute weirdo. 

I worked in travel for almost twenty years and not once was I ever tempted to do the cruise thing. I’ve heard too many horror stories of people getting sick, ships breaking down, etc. Granted, there are smaller ships that cater to the luxury market but still, I’d rather be able to go and do my own thing. Hard pass.

I just started working in insurance, and while I think State Farm is being kind of evil here, Shannen Doherty is not sadly alone. In the last 10-12 years, insurance companies have lost their collective shirts due to wild fires in CA, and more than a few of those homes had very high replacement costs because there were…

Part of me wonders if this is her way of “getting ahead” of stories that would have eventually come out anyway, a way of owning her shit, as it were, especially in light of her substance abuse issues. It’s also probably cathartic for her to let go of it. But I’m fine with her providing receipts of how much of a…

Speaking of soda, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ordered Coke only to be brought Diet Coke. What was both annoying and amusing was the genuine shock the servers had when I would send it back, asking for regular Coke. In all fairness, this happened with both male and female servers, so it was apparent that they…

Mr. PW and I never wear our wedding rings. In fact, my “wedding” ring is actually my engagement ring, because we didn’t have the money for a traditional wedding band, and more importantly, I didn’t see the need. 

The resort I used to work for did a tapas dinner on the beach that featured crispy potato tacos and holy crap they were so good. 

I’ve had jackfruit a few times and it does work well in spicier dishes. But I agree, it’s not going to be mistaken for any type of meat. It is pretty filling, however. 

This is why, if your kid tells you, “hey, somebody is touching me in a way that doesn’t feel right,” you fucking get them help. You don’t ignore it and pretend she never said it, hoping it will got away. It’s NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. It will fester into low self-esteem and manifest itself in all kinds of self-destructive…

I was thinking that the subway or bus would be the best option but at the same time, the other people on public transit shouldn’t have to be subjected to his literal shit. 

I had to resign from my job last year due to relocation. COBRA for myself and my husband would have been $1400/month. As such, he went without, and I was able to afford COBRA coverage for all of one month as I was looking for a new job. From March until September, I was only working part time at a job that only…

There’s been a lot of discussion about how exactly Kobe Bryant should be remembered. Personally speaking, I’m not entirely comfortable with the glowing eulogies given the rape case. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old, but while I don’t think what he did should be forgotten or glossed over, I think it’s possible to…

The rumor was that his ex supposedly was having an affair with Golden Tate. I believe both came out and denied it but shortly thereafter Tate was gone from the Seahawks. That said, Ciara and Russell Wilson seem very happy together so I’ll join you in the mazel toving.

In a way, I can’t think of a more perversely appropriate person to defend Trumpanzee: a pedophile who got a sweetheart deal for a sexual predator now defending yet another sexual predator. The only consolation is that Dershow-shits and his reputation are pretty much in the toilet at this point. Yeah, he’ll still…

The one question I’ve always had when reading about the relationship with Wexner and Epstein is this: why? Why would someone of Wexner’s wealth choose to turn over almost total control of his financial empire to someone like Jeffrey Epstein? Here’s a guy with no college degree, a checkered at best reputation in…

Thank you. It took me a very long time to realize that what happened to me was part of a larger systemic issue. At the end of the day, it’s about protecting the institution. I hope that someday there’s a reckoning that will ultimately bankrupt the Catholic Church in its entirety. I’m not optimistic it will happen in…

I too am a Catholic school survivor, although at the parochial high school I attended, it was the lay teachers who did the molesting (at least those are the ones we heard about, anyway). That’s not including student-on-student sexual harassment that I among many other had to endure. Once, about two years ago, they…

Beat me too it! I just posted something similar above, but yours is better.
