Started reading the Poldark books (they’re marvelous!) and have to say I was shocked at that scene in the book. Seriously, intensely shocked. And maybe that was the author’s intention. But it wasn’t just disappointing — it came out of nowhere and really didn’t work within the characterization the author had already…

The rumors about Jada and Will and “special clubs” go back 20 years.

I hear you, as somebody born in 1963, who has been categorized as both a Boomer and a Gen Xer (even though my parents were children during WWII, and I was already out of college and working for a living the first time I heard the term “Gen X.”)

So... Will and Kate borrow a friend’s plane, get a hotel stay comped... and that’s presented as evidence of their lavish lifestyle on the public dime. Maybe next year they’ll look into one of those indoor water parks.

I have to say I’m distracted by trying to figure out just what that sepia colored food/beverage is in the foreground. Weird danish? Two glazed doughnuts with dollops of ketchup?

The other day I was transporting a large container of family photos from my house to my mom’s. The next morning my neighbor approached me and said that she had found a photo in the yard that she thought might be me? (The apologetic tone in her query made sense when I saw the 6th grade school photo in question. Quite…

Where are the “Donald and the GOP are coming for your porn!” memes? The red states take their porn verrrrry seriously, by all accounts.

So.. you’re telling me we could have had TASSELS?!

Massachusetts is a pretty liberal state (doh!) and I’ve always been used to pro-choice Republicans running against pro-life Democrats. It’s a real thing in a state where Republicans are socially liberal, and many Democrats are staunch Catholics. I expect Rhode Island is the same. And maybe Maryland? Cities like…

All Sally wanted was her fair share. All she wanted was what she had coming to her!

My favorite gift to new parents is the “I can’t read” onesie.

You know what you never want to do? Scratch around inside your ear after cutting peppers without gloves.

Not only do they not think it’s bad... they think it’s a COMPLIMENT. Rejecting compliments is rude and a sign that the person has a screw loose. Hence, any woman who isn’t flattered by the sexual attention of any guy they consider a peer (or someone they aspire to be) obviously has a hostile agenda and must be…

I’m sure the tanneries and mills that employed my ancestors had a lot to say about regulations being burdensome for small businesses...

Not wanting to be bitten does not equal germophobia. Especially if Mariah doesn’t know her.

“There is the part where you’ve been sitting or lying down for a while, then stand and there is just a flood.”

Catherine needs her own twitter account, so she can go head to head with Richard III and Henry VIII.

Maybe she dropped the little charm with her name on it and they don’t know whom she belongs to?

I’ve heard the name, but never had a face or a voice to put with it. Same with Kat von Dee — just names that show up in columns. She’s very pretty. Looks like original recipe Angelina Jolie in that gif — in fact I assumed it was until the comments referred to her music.

He’s holding out for Taylor.
