We adopted our son as a toddler and while our agency didn’t offer pre-adoption counseling (I think that’s changed a lot in the 17 years since), we read a LOT about toddler adoption, reactive attachment disorder (RAD), the culture shock with int’l adoption and so much more. As it turned out our son does have severe…

My (70-something super-Republican) former boss told me our city shouldn’t fund libraries any more at all because “people can just buy books, and not that many people read hard copy books any more anyway.” Usually I kept my mouth shut when he said this sort of thing, because I needed the job. This time, having once…

Right? Um, Lindsey, if a particular segment of a party gets the most primary votes fair and square, that’s ... not a hostage situation. At all. That’s just the party going in a different direction. It’s literally what democracy is all about! For heaven’s sake.

Loved that whole scene. Usually sex scenes in this type of show are presented in a serious, paint-by-numbers way. This scene showed us how these two people in particular have sex: it’s not loving or even particularly passionate, they’re both just getting off, and it’s friendly and funny and awkward. And all the sexier…

This is also the guy who, when an aide tested positive, said something like “She was getting tested every day, always came up negative, and then for some reason one day she just tests positive.” As if the test was faulty because one day it gave a different result, instead of... ya know... the possibility that she…

I’m the mother of an internationally adopted kid (he’s Korean American) and I have known quite a few fellow adoptive parents who adopted nonwhite children specifically because they wanted to “save” them (either socially or religiously). So either the kids aren’t allowed to identify with their ethnic background at all…

“Nobody thanks me! And people are always paying for my food!!”

I had to answer some registration questions at a doctor’s office recently, and when the (very young) receptionist asked for my birthday, I gave it to her in the format “1-1-70.” She looked up at me and earnestly asked, “Would that be 1970?” Um...yes. Yes, it would.

I knew a kid who decided everybody lived to be 100 and then died on their 100th birthday because “that’s long enough.”

That’s...quite a thing to say about a child. Wow.

An excellent list, but I feel “Werewolf” has to be on there somewhere. Or do I mean... “Wurwolf”??

I’m glad they will re-add it with commentary, because there are a lot of things to like about GWTW and a lot of things to learn from it. One good takeaway-and I hope the commentary will address this-is that Mitchell tried to thread the needle by portraying the O’Haras, the Wilkeses, etc., as “good owners,” as if the…

“I’ll pay the legal bills. Believe me.”

And I get so frustrated with all the people who say, “I don’t like him or agree with a lot of the hateful things he says, but I had to vote for him - Hillary Clinton is so terrible!” I can see why people who watch Fox News, etc., would believe all that stuff about Vince Foster and Benghazi and who knows what being her…

I’m an adoptive parent and we’ve always referred to it that day, as do many adoptive families I know. It’s just a fun way to describe the way we finally met our son and he became ours in our hearts (even though legally that didn’t happen for another year).

When asked, Musk and Grimes gave significantly different answers about the pronunciation. Which...doesn’t bode well for others trying to pronounce it.

At least in churches, there’s often hymn singing, and that can cause a lot more virus to be released into the air because of the different physical mechanisms of singing and talking.

I agree. He never actually wanted to be president. He obviously finds it boring and is annoyed by the demands and the scrutiny. I think he just wanted to be on stage and bloviate, and then his popularity started to run away with him, and he kept getting attention, so he didn’t want to bow out. He never thought he’d…

But he could put a lot of pressure on the people who do have that power.

Right? Next time my husband kisses me I’m going to say “That felt very good, and I was very happy.” It’s gonna be HOT.
