I think back to when Tim McGraw played a real asshole in that country music movie (maybe Gwyneth was the star?) — he said he was channeling Reba’s husband. And that was BEFORE they broke up. He said it kind of jokingly, but I took it to mean the guy was at the very least thought to be a jerk.

While I agree with your overall point, I’ve never seen anybody put a baby in a seat in 30 seconds.

This reminds me of one of the first days at my jr year abroad school in Madrid. The Director of the school (a Jesuit priest), came right out and told us what to say if we got groped on public transportation. As I recall, it was “don’t touch me you pig,” or something similar. And it shocks me now that I wasn’t…

They all have medical bays with doctors (or a doctor and nurse practitioners, etc) available. People get sunburned in port, twist ankles, etc. constantly. You should see the line for seasickness meds in high seas!

If they name them without evidence (and what would be the evidence) they’ll be sued for defamation. And end up paying their rapist.

This reminds me of the whole Clarence Thomas thing way back when, when my (conservative) mother and I were both trying to educate my father about why Anita Hill didn’t report Clarence Thomas at the time — make him see that women catch sexual crap from men in the workplace all the time and no, they don’t report it…

That was her original answer. That as the grope-ee she knew full well who did it.

I didn’t watch this show as I was already an adult (prekids), but they were talking about it being bad on the radio this morning and I thought “it doesn’t have to be GOOD. My generation doesn’t tune into Brady Bunch reunion shows because we expect them to be GOOD. We just want them to be... Wally.”

Alan Klein worked out great — he was so mad when Harrison and Lennon fired him that he bought the company that owned She So Fine (which was suing Harrison for copping the tune)... so Harrison had to pay Klein the damages.

She just clicked at the right time with the right look and great magnetism. Maybe it’s like old time movie stars — what captures the popular imagination as the epitome of beauty/star quality at one time doesn’t hold up to other times.

Come to think of it, I do remember some kind of quote from Diana where she mentioned that one of the plus sides of marrying Charles was that divorce was off the table and her kids would never have to deal with it the way she had. Sad.

You’d be amazed how many people (women, anyway) don’t, well into adulthood. The bridal/newlywed sites are full of women who don’t have the slightest clue how their bodies work.

That was essentially my response to them:

She had a poster of him on her bedroom wall as a (much younger) teenager, supposedly, so it was rumored she set her sights on him fairly early on, at least in fantasy. How much of that was HIM and how much the idea of being Princess of Wales, who knows. He wasn’t a total stranger as he socialized with one or both of…

Her twitter feed is wonderful — she’s funny about mundane stuff. Last week she told an awesome multitweet story about ordering pie delivered and singing and dancing that it was “piiiiiiiiie night!” and they called her back to say they didn’t have her kind of pie but that was okay because the suggested substitution was…

I actually find her pretty funny in candid interviews. She’s quick.

Why call him out by name? Why give him the satisfaction of thinking he’s in some kind of two-way feud with her? People who knew what he had said will get it, and people who don’t get a little empowerment speech. Why slag the girl for maintaining some dignity over a guy saying (publicly) that she owes him sex because…

The comment about having the paperwork to prove his Native American ancestry was a reference to Elizabeth Warren’s claim of Native American minority status. The crowd would have gotten the reference.

You can use a pad/liner WITH them and know they won’t be ruined by any leakage.

My cousin is a Marriott employee and her kids take that “vacation” all the time. They don’t have a pool at home, so it’s a good thing to just pack them up every once and a while and stay at the local Marriott and let them swim while she unwinds. This year they went on an actual vacation and were puzzled by the whole…
