Doing the right thing is expected, not extraordinary. No one gets gold stars for decent behavior.

You make a good point but I think it’s less about organized conspiracies and just the way a lot of white men in power think when making any decision. They always look out for themselves first and foremost, other powerful white men second but only because of what they can do for them personally. Women are perceived as…

Your casserole version is my mother-in-law’s version. She substitutes sour cream for the 1/2 and 1/2, though. I had never tasted better mashed potatoes and for a while she wouldn’t tell me what was in them for fear I wouldn’t eat them knowing how fattening they were. (She knows me better now.)

Not to single you out and not to be the voice of doom but when was this era when women were treated well? I must have missed it. They’ve long been their father’s property to be married off to a man who then took ownership (most of the world still operates this way). In the mid-20th century they were relegated to…

But he was reinvestigated by the state before he and Soon-Yi were allowed to adopt two daughters years later. No charges then either.

You should check out doesthedogdie.com - doesn’t list every movie but can help if you’re not sure you want to see something for that reason. (the dog does not die in this movie either.)

Cook’s Kitchen’s recipe has you brown them then boil them. I save the neck for turkey stock later (with the rest of the bones) and then use my immersion blender on the giblets to add to the gravy. It makes a huge difference in the richness of the gravy!

This went viral awhile ago and it’s hard to know who is cuter, the dude or the wombat until about 1:12 in and then the wombat wins.

I have a copy on vinyl- it’s framed and on our mantel. You can find it on the youtubes too. It’s wonderfully shmaltzy and he seems to be the only person who doesn’t lose his accent when he sings but I love it.

Green Giant has tots made with broccoli and cauliflower now - I will be trying the traditional version with those. Thanks for the link!

Joke’s on him - huskies are crazy goofballs with more energy than most dogs. They also have serious sassmouth and are stubborn with their own agendas. I love my half-husky mix but they are for experienced dog owners only - he doesn’t know what he’s in for.

You can still order this CD but it also lives on via YouTube - Los Lobos does an awesome “I Wanna Be Like You.” Plus you get The Replacements doing “Cruella DeVille,” Bonnie Raitt making you cry with “Baby Mine,” Tom Waits “singing” “Heigh Ho,” and my favorite, Syd Straw doing a gorgeous version of “Blue Shadows on…

Yeah - as political (internally and externally) as unions can get, they’re still better than nothing, which is what most people have. It’s sad to see them disintegrating.

This is good advice but before you go to HR, try to be sure you are dealing with an HR department that is interested in helping employees and not just in supporting the company leaders’ interests. From the New Yorker article, it’s pretty clear the HR dept. at Weinstein carried out HW’s wishes and weren’t resources for…

Well, George, you have a several hundred million dollars of that sweet sweet tequila money now - put your money where your mouth is and set up a defense fund for people in Hollywood to draw on for lawyers and investigations when they are victims of abuse by people in power in the movie industry. All the A-listers who…

He was re-investigated when he adopted his daughters with Soon-Yi and nothing was found then either. But the pitchforks are always out for him on this site because clearly child protection workers are on the sides of celebrities or something similarly implausible.

Take an architectural tour (or two) - there are many, not just on the river, and the volunteers are super smart about the gorgeous buildings in the loop. They run about $20 and take a couple of hours, on average. It’s time well spent and makes you wonder why most places just slap up ugly monstrosities instead of…

Baldwin’s parody falls short for me because it’s too similar to Will Ferrell’s W impression - he makes 45 just look stupid and clueless, not the awful, nasty, mean bigot he is. They didn’t help things when they portrayed Bannon as some sort of Reaper controlling him, which made it look like Bannon was the real…

“Oh but Celebrity X said something that offends my fine sensibilities and I have decided to boycott them foreeeeeevvvvveeeeerrrrrrrr.....”

If only democrats were as loyal as republicans are! I see the opposite - repubs hate on democratic presidents, dems call democratic presidents out (as they should) when they make shitty decisions, so the voter hardly paying attention only sees that a lot of people in both parties are complaining about the president…
