Shitting on the high school is the worst. I don’t doubt that this school may have an underfunded student services department. Elite public performing arts schools are still public schools, and it is not unusual for such institutions to struggle financially, even though they may look like they have lots of dough.

I gave a guy a blowjob in the parking lot next to the bar where he worked.

THIS 100%.

If you have not seen “Every Little Step,” the documentary about the revival of A Chorus Line, you must drop everything you’re doing and watch it immediately. It is absolutely fantastic, and features actual audiotape of the original cast telling stories to Michael Bennett about their lives - stories that ended up -…

Agreed!!! I would never have known the first photo was of Jennifer Aniston if not for the headline.

Oh, and every third New Orleans boy born the year after the Superbowl win was named Drew. Local fourth grades are simply thrumming with Drews, along with the occasional Porter.

This year, a failing school in surbuban Jefferson Parish was officially renamed Tom Benson School. The Benson family didn’t give any donations for this honor - the school board simply decided (unanimously!) that a billionaire car salesman who cut his kids out of his will to favor his gold digging third wife was a…

Excellent point. However, this is not the first time I’ve found myself waiting a huge length of time to get my Popeye’s order, and God knows it won’t be the last. My experience has been that Popeye’s has never, ever demonstrated one ounce of interest in customer service. They know we’ll tolerate anything for that…

Waited in line in the drive through last week for almost an hour. The sweet teenager who handed me my food looked absolutely exhausted. She said that every single person in the line was getting sandwiches. She also said she thinks Popeye’s will put them on their permanent menu, but she sure didn’t look happy about it.

I love this comment - not least because I had completely forgotten about The Magic Pan!

This is the beauty of most slow cooker meals - if you can put stuff in a pot and turn it on, you’ll get a reward in 8 hours! My crock pot go-to meals are pork loin and halved red potatoes cooked in saurkraut, vegan black beans and, of course, the legendary Mississippi Roast. 

I’d teach a person how to properly roast a whole chicken. Then I’d teach them what to do with leftovers. Chicken noodle soup and chicken and sausage jambalaya are both satisfying and seem hard, but are actually really easy to make.

I feel the exact same way about any man who graduated from Dartmouth. I have yet to meet a Dartmouth guy who isn't a complete jerk. I've met many lovely female Dartmouth grads, but the fellas - sheesh. 

Aaaaaaaagh! Perfection!

I felt super bad about it, because you are right - all the other stuff was very nice. But we really had no sexual chemistry - I don't think that was only related to his wardrobe, though. We just didn't click that way. Truth be told, I've been married for 14 years to a wonderful guy, but I still kind of feel badly that…

Not petty at all! Smoking, vaping and chewing tobacco are heavy on the nopes for me. 

I dumped a perfectly nice guy who was really into me because I couldn’t stand the way he dressed. He was always impeccably styled and clearly took great care in his appearance - unfortunately, he curated his look straight out of International Male catalog.

100% Team Epidural!

This is a wonderful story!

I decided to throw myself a big party. I told my husband of my plans, and he gave me a weird look, but agreed. I ordered expensive catering, sent out invitations, the works. I wasn’t thrilled that I was doing all this arranging myself, but I’m a “light a candle instead of cursing the darkness” kind of gal. I wanted a…
