The director’s name is Icke. Sounds apt.

When little Noodles was about 18, she suddenly started yowling at night. The vet could find nothing wrong. Finally, I called The Pet Doctor on the radio. He said that becoming noisy at that age meant she was either deaf or demented. First I noticed that she was no longer afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Then I saw her…

Not true. My cat and I shared a 180 square foot studio apartment for many years. (By Columbus Circle, two blocks from Central Park, super cheap rent, eat your hearts out Millennials!) She lived a long and healthy life because the first thing I did was carpet one of the support beams on my loft bed. She climbed, jumped…

It was a huge epiphany when I realized that it was OK to prefer staying home and reading to going out and socializing. I was a teenager at the time. I feel sorry for “people who need people” around all the time. It’s nice to be comfortable in your own skin.

Never been to one either, as I am claustrophobic in department stores. (I heard that Ikea forces you to go through the whole store to get to the exit, and that was enough for me.) However, although I wouldn’t have attended, I love the idea of hosting a party there.

I read an interview with Marla where she said that she “had the privilege of raising her daughter as a single parent.”

Thanks. I like that Anna Sui polish.  I think I’ll see who sells her here in NYC.

You sound incredibly strong. But all of us need help sometimes. Call your city or county health department and find out about grief support groups. It can be cheap or free. You’ll meet others who are dealing with their loss. You’ll be a good addition to the group. It will make you more able to deal with this, and in…

He made a “drunken mistake.” She “convinced” him to take an oxy. He “comes home intoxicated.” His ex “rapes” him and packs his bags for him. The guy has never heard of a getting a locksmith and changing the lock. He may be be wonderful and beautiful and nice to your daughter. But he’s got a substance problem and…

Congratulations! I wish you continued strength and give you a couple of things that will help. First of all, you are right that your stuff smells. Most people are too polite to say anything, but they’re thinking it, because smokers do stink. Strangers know you are a smoker when you get on an elevator. The smell…

I think my post is way far down and I really need advice so I’m asking on this beauty thread. I am getting married this Wednesday in a silk dress that’s solid bright Chinese red. The shoes are gold with crystals. But what nail polish? Do I try and match the exact red? Or is that too much? I was thinking maybe nails…

Looking for nail polish / lipstick opinions. The dress is solid Chinese red silk. The shoes are gold with crystals. My first thought was that my nails and lips should be the same red as the dress. But now I’m thinking that’s too matchy matchy. Perhaps a deep red, a shade darker might look good. Any thoughts?

Bad fitting dress. WTF, she is in the clothing business and doesn’t know a tailor? And since we’re Ivanka-bashing, which I do so enjoy, let’s talk about her hair. Always with the dark roots. Girl’s been getting her hair bleached blond since she was a little child. Doesn’t she know when she needs a touch up?  Is it…

I don’t know that I would use words like “didn’t approve of.” But I think any 15 year old settling into a permanent relationship, whether it’s with a 30 year old or another 15 year old, is a bad idea. There is a lot of world to experience. I think it’s fear and desperation for security that makes someone settle down…

This was in a hospital in Florida. Jesus bringing germs into the operating room.

Seriously? Why wish it on anyone to wear elastic and wire wrapped tightly around their chest? Being flat is a gift from nature and it means that you never have to wear a bra. It rocks!

Maybe Barron wanted this for his birthday party. If not now, a future birthday when he is in analysis trying to overcome the lasting effects of his father.

And Dani Mathers as the Beaver. (Except Jerry Mathers was much nicer. And he didn’t make his living flashing his genitalia.)

Maybe he was asleep and Ambien driving.

In Florida? Where it’s hellishly hot and lots of places don’t even have sidewalks?
