For fucks sake. I hate the palin’s as much as the next democrat, but cold we spare a moment of compassion and consideration for the fact that Palin might actually have PTSD? Especially when you consider a conflict like Iraq where there is no front line, just zones of greater or lesser danger?

I think they were referring to the photographer, but yeah, no, she is not a good person who made a mistake. The photo was taken from inside the sauna, so the woman stepping into the shower likely didn’t realize she had an audience. She also had a reasonable expectation that no one would be taking her picture (beyond…

I wonder if it was all the congressional interns, or a session for those who work for republican staffers?

Melissa McCarthy is killing it in that yellow dress. So gorgeous and damn cool. God I love her so much. I love her in the same way I love Dolly Parton, a lady who is crazy talented, and has created a way to be successful that is true to herself.

I had the same thought but I would (and have) bought used pants. I guess shorts just remind me too much of underwear?

The ham metaphor reminds me of the horrifying abstinence videos for teenagers where they compare having lots of sex to being a dirty sock or a chewed piece of gum.

National parks are so well run it can make us feel very safe in them and with the crowds people are often stressed and moving fast. However, geologic beauty is usually dangerous. I can think of 3 people I know or have common friends with who have died hiking on and off trails. It is terrible, but even a small fall in…

Eating vegetarian a few days can also free up grocery budget to buy more expensive responsibly rises meats. You never get around the fact we kill animals to eat them, but it def. helps alleviate the guilt. For me, I am just not crazy about meat, (I am way healthier when I eat it, just how my gut/metabolism functions).…

I worked at a zoo in high school, llamas are pretty much dicks too. And it is amazing how unpleasant their spit is. Just straight up chemical warfare. It's like they knew they were the only domesticatable animal in the new world, so the behave juuuust good enough for humans to put up with them.

The shadiest fee I’ve ever encountered was at suntrust, who issued my old jobs pay checks. They were charging a percentage fee for people to cash pay checks written at suntrust unless you had an account there. My assumption is that the fee for cashing is both the paperwork hassle of processing it and assuming risk…

I think he is still too old for her, but she does not come across as 16. Swift is in complete control of her career and music and is really, really good at it. No one maintains that level of success as long as she has without be a serious pro. Huddleston I just don't get, but that is probably because of the stupid…

Hmm, I travel for work a ton and have mixed feelings about traveling to find oneself. On the one hand it seems like people are ascribing magical status to other places, like those other places are free of economic pressures or have some special insight in life. On the other, going to a place where you do not speak the…

Good for you! Being kind to yourself when you fuck up is so important. As is petting kitties. Off to pet my cat!

This is huge. I got my dog as a never been house trained adult (so she had total control but made disappointing choices as to locatioon). Once we got it working, the world beckoned.

I get more upset about the Zelwegger criticisms than I should because I have similarly hooded eyes to her, the kind that look like you ae squinting when you smile. It is extremely likely I will have plastic surgery to keep them out of my sight line sometime in my forties. I don't hate my face, but I do want to see. Ps…

I don’t want to pile on this little boy, the anti-vaxxers are truly unhinged in their response to him, but I kind of hate the funny science takedown of _____ genre of videos. They depress me, the anti vax crowd and the climate deniers both represent a total failure of scientists to communicate and persuade people to…

I love CBT. My most useful exercise is basically what Lindy describes in the essay, after spe,thing bad/humiliating happens rate how bad it was really and how bad it felt in the moment. Observe the mismatch and use that know.edge to help temper responses in thfuture.

The piano. So much Harvey. So much sexual desire expressed via piano playing. Piano practice the next day was awkward as I was preparing to play the theme for the piano in a recital.

Derrick was pretty awful through most of the run, I never quite got the appeal of him. He was so harsh with others, so unforgiving and fickle but demanded constancy and understanding from other people. It also might be that Dempsey seems like a douche, but def. not my favorite doctor. I love how interesting Avery got,…

I just looked up first class seats from Houston-Mumbai , the flights range from 11-16k (this is for next week, since I assume booking in advance is for we peasants). So for two, $38,000 isn’t really that huge of a step up. The shower and privacy are nice, but this doesn’t look that much better than a lay flat seat to…
