A friend of mine bought a whole pile yesterday and then donated them to a shelter. At least that way, they do a bit of good instead of ending up in a trash bin.

I met him when I was 16 and he was 20. We both worked at the same grocery store. Due to our age difference, we never spent time together outside of work or anything. We just spent our shifts shooting the breeze. When I was in college, we started hanging out on weekends. Toward the end, we dated for a little while.…

So, about 10 days ago, I found out a guy I had been friends with for 12 years, and briefly dated, is a pedophile. He was first arrested over the summer (which I did not know because I moved 2,000 miles from home) when he arranged to meet a 13-year-old boy. Fortunately, the…

I love to bake, but I haven’t done it in a while. I really want to make some basic stuff to sell at farm markets and the like, but the requirements are a bit too onerous to make it worthwhile (you need to take a food-safety class, pay a $100 fee every year, and either get a permit for home preparation or rent a…

When my uncle died, my cousin wrote a LONG-ass obituary trying to compensate for the fact that he was kind of a dick. Every so often, my mother will ask me if I finished reading Uncle X’s obituary yet. She has also referred to the obituary as a “New York Times bestselling fiction novel.”

Bingo. My hometown has an AMAZING charter school. After the only elementary school in town was closed by the school district, some local parents got together and formed a nonprofit. They hired great teachers, have an amazing curriculum that emphasizes environmental protection and second-language learning, and are…

That is one of THE funniest things I’ve ever read.

Every day, I get more angry. Not at these clowns; we knew they were going to be law-breaking idiots. But at the Trump supporters who refuse to acknowledge that they have been duped. They didn’t want Hillary because she used a private server. They said it was a matter of national security. Now we have an administration…

Fortunately, we have season tickets, which are half price. I only paid $10 for my ticket (I actually *prefer* to sit in the balcony so I can see everything on the stage), so I wouldn’t feel right asking for a refund. I get worse and worse every year as far as allergies and sensitivities. When I was a teen, I was all…

Didn’t she and Dina Manzo get in a fight in S1 or S2 because they were having a Botox party and one of them wouldn’t partake?

Why in the name of all that is holy do people feel the need to douse themselves in perfume, cologne, body spray, etc.? It’s gotten to the point that I can’t even go anywhere and enjoy myself because people insist on bathing in stink. We had to leave the ballet at intermission the other night because someone in my…

I sure hope you don’t teach English. Your post has at least six errors and way too many exclamation points.

I got through to a Toomey staffer a few days after the election. Since then, I’ve gotten nothing but busy signals and full voicemail boxes.

I’m not one for Internet diagnosing, but in many of the photos I’ve seen of him lately, he has the same drop-shouldered posture my grandfather had after he was diagnosed. Once that happened, it wasn’t long after that he started telling my aunt to buy extra bread so he could feed the birds living behind his television…

I watched some of the hearing live, and I’m sorry I did. I am extra pissed at Lindsey Graham because I thought MAYBE he would do the right thing after speaking out against Trump a while back. Nope. He “enthusiastically” supports Sessions’ nomination.

I actually think Ryan is the worst of the bunch. Trump is just a doddering old pumpkin pulled up by marionette strings. Pence is awful, but I somehow think that Ryan is worse.

I am late to the party here, and someone else may have mentioned this, but check with the prison before you send books. A friend of mine is in prison, and his facility does not allow any true-crime books (as they are filled with stories about murder and other crimes), books about guns, military books (again, they…

I just had a FB argument with someone who thinks that Trump is for the people and that he needs to do something about Muslims (because they want to rule our country with Sharia law). Whaaaaaaat?

I just had a Facebook “conversation” (read: exercise in futility) with a woman who just could not answer any of my questions about why she feels the way she does. I mean, it’s one thing to disagree on a topic and still be able to discuss it and provide some support for your opinion, but it’s quite another to be so…

I’m still wondering when they are going to realize what a big mistake they made. My cousin responds to all of my political posts with, “Well, what about Obama giving money to Palestine?” and “Crooked Hillary was corrupt.” Who cares?! Just because someone else does something questionable does not mean it’s okay for…
