I have more toilet paper and maxi pads than I’m proud of, but I’m peri-menopausal and my periods are the stuff of nightmares. Foodwise, my husband and I clearly have the palates of teenagers left home alone. Frozen pizzas, chips of all kinds, salsas and dips of all kinds, lots of peanut butter, two new jars of jam,…

I notice you have a corgi in your pic. Those are really great dogs, too! 

I came to the replies to make just this comment. Addicts and alcoholics are master manipulators even when they aren’t actors on top of that. My first instinct when I heard what Ben was saying in interviews was that he’s trying to hamstring Jen’s efforts to move on with her life. I’ve no doubt that he sees her as…

I’m not sure getting a face tattoo is the best way for a 33-year-old woman to show her conservator that she’s capable of making big life decisions. 

I very rarely ever drink and even if I do it is one drink that takes me an hour or more to finish. Several years ago anything other than a scant amount of alcohol started making me instantly feel hungover - splitting headache, mild queasiness, bloating, etc. Stopping drinking was no big deal. People still act like I’m…

You are absolutely correct, and I have seen the same situation you describe play out in my extended family and the families of friends. However, in the case of this Gerber kid, he seems the epitome of a child who has gotten very little attention from his parents.

Randy Gerber and Cindy Crawford must be thrilled. I’m also going to go out on a limb and say they probably aren’t great parents.

Probably. I think Maine has a lot of people who think of themselves as independents/libertarians. Hopefully this year enough of them will see the importance of backing the Democratic candidate.

Collins always seems surprised to find that she's a US senator and then further surprised that people want her to answer questions about her job as a senator. 

I would not have expected that level of aggression from a dolphin.

This is the guy I get stuck next to at parties and while using public transportation.

I'm just a sweet summer child, I guess. 

There is apparently no bottom to this reality. 2020 seems intent on crushing any hope we might have still clung to as we limped away from 2019.

I bought my first tarot deck nearly 30 years ago and have been collecting tarot, Oracle, Lenormand, Kipper, and even interesting playing card decks ever since. Nearly all oracle decks are as you describe here, mostly for giving you pep talks and good feels. There are however “darker” Oracle decks out there. You need…

This makes me want to watch the sequel again. I remember seeing it back in the 89 and not liking it much at all. I was 18 at the time so maybe that was a weird age to have seen it. Too old for the kid stuff and too young to appreciate the adult subtleties you mention here. Maybe I need to give it another chance. And…

I also loved The Real Ghostbusters series and I was in my late teens when it came out. I used my much younger brother as the excuse as to why I was watching a “kid’s show.” The movie should have had more continuity with the series. Ackroyd, Ramis, and Reitman really underestimated the animated series’ popularity. 

Didn’t know that about Hamlet. That certainly makes sense. And he certainly did a ton of press for Infinity War. 

I also find it intriguing when a cast member of a good movie which is very, very likely to be successful is conspicuously absent or obviously unenthusiastic during the press campaign. I still don’t really understand why Tom Hiddleston was non-existent during Thor: Ragnarok’s press tour. I know his embarrassing…

You know, I think a lot about how much better off the world would have been if some terrible people had realized their true dreams. Hitler wanted to be an artist. G.W. Bush wanted to own a major league baseball team. Nazi Barbie here wanted to be a model. President BoneSpur wanted to be an NFL owner (and before that I…

Probably her dad’s favorite picture of her.
