He was an ass. You’re not wrong on that. But I grew up in a staunch Republican family filled with people who are pro-life and bigoted against everyone from Muslims to LGBTQ folks. I never wore a Nazi uniform, but I’m sure I said and thought things that I would be horrified to hear someone say now. I’ve changed, and I…

How timely. I just found out that I need to see a hematologist/oncologist. When I called to find out how long it will be before I can get an appointment, they asked for my background. The new-patient coordinator said I can get in within the next two or three weeks because I have a “malignant diagnosis.” It’s possible…

Thank you. :)

As they should. I don’t want to live in a world where doing something incredibly stupid when you’re young brands you as an asshole for life. He realizes it was wrong, and he hasn’t done anything remotely similar since then.

I’m late to the party, but I think my thirties have been way better than my twenties. I’m making more money, I’m starting to care very little about what others think of me, I have a happy marriage, and I’ve gotten much better at setting boundaries.

I’m sorry. That should not have happened to you. We need to do better as a society.

I don’t usually care about being in the grays, but these trolls make me mad. I’ve been commenting here since the site opened. I lost my original name when they switched to Kinja. When I signed up for a new account, I very carefully copied down my key and saved it to a Word doc. At some point, I cleared my cache, so I…

Damn! We should send you over to the People site with that rebuttal. I suck at coming up with comebacks in the moment...I always think of them four hours later.

I hear you. My cul-de-sac has a gang of about 15 stray cats that roam around peeing on everything. Don’t get me wrong; I LOVE cats, and I am a sucker for a hard-luck case. That’s how we ended up with five cats of our own. I try not to get mad at the cats, as I know it’s not their fault they have nowhere to live, but…

Baby Feet is awesome. The key to getting a good peel is to soak your feet every night until the skin starts to come off. I didn’t do that the first time, and I hardly had any peeling. Then I read an Amazon review from a woman who did the treatment with two of her friends. The friend who takes showers (and therefore…

In that pic, she reminds me of Robin Tunney from her role in “The Two Mr. Kissels,” which is actually one of the best Lifetime movies I’ve ever seen.

Bummer. Her first couple of specials were hilarious.

I was raised as a Christian. Went to church camp, the Christian after-school program, Vacation Bible School, the works. People like this are the reason I have completely abandoned anything “religious.” I just can’t stand the judgmental attitude and the hypocrisy. I don’t have to attend church with a bunch of…

It’s his birthday. We can’t expect him to spend the WHOLE day paying attention to the plight of other people.

There’s no way. All the talk will be about “good guys with guns,” and how it could have been stopped sooner if everyone on the field was packing heat.

One of the families I work with at my volunteer job has a son going through chemo for two types of cancer, one that is incredibly rare. He went into a coma last Tuesday and didn’t emerge from it until Saturday. After only five days, he was unable to even stand up and walk. He has to kind of learn to walk all over…

I’m sorry for your acquaintance. It’s just not fair. I volunteer for an in-hospital program that provides assistance to the families of children who are in treatment for anything from cancer to kidney failure. The other day, one of the moms told me her son has pretty much no options left. Unless they can find…

Somebody needs to post the Whitney Houston receipts GIF.

When I saw the headline, my brain immediately heard Gilbert Gottfried (as Iago in “Aladdin) say, “I think I’m gonna have a heart attack and die from *not* surprise!”

When I was 19, I was a friggin’ idiot when it comes to money. I was short on my rent, so I wrote a check and assumed my bank would pay it and then just charge me $35. Unfortunately, the check bounced, and my landlord had the county prosecutor file criminal charges against me for writing a bad check. My complete…
