You’re so lucky! I realized after the end of my only major relationship (on and off through all of my 20s) that I worked so hard to hold it together, despite being treated pretty badly, partly because I have literally no model for what you’re supposed to do if you don’t meet the love of your life in your early 20s and…

This is where I’ve landed. I got divorced (or should I say, was given a surprise divorce) four years ago. In the worst moments of my life, when I was so fragile and afraid of being lonely, I can look back with thankfulness at how supported and not alone I was. I come from a large family, and my older brother gave me 5…

I got married 2 years ago when I was 46. I had spent years wondering why Mr. Right had not come along. I had been proposed to twice and said no both times. Before I met the other half I had decided to embrace being single. These days I rail about how I don’t have children and question my purpose. This reminds me that…

We have this two - an aunt who travels all over the world, and one with horses, and both give zero shits to give about social conventions. They have fulfilling careers, go on amazing holidays, get gifts for their young relatives that are amazing, and have wonderful friends. And their families (siblings and parents)…

Your examples of what makes a great auntie or uncle were on fire, and inspire me to be an even better offbeat aunt.

My last grandparent died when I was 21 years old, the first before I was born. I am also shocked when people have grandparents when I am nearing 40 years old.

I have the same reaction to “adults” with grandparents. Mine were all gone by the time I was 19.

Your family sounds amazing.

I say to hell with it! Get a weird massage if you want to!

SMALL CLAMS COURT

Trash me if you want but I think that’s super cool of Clooney to have done that and I applaud him for doing it.

A Fox News poll recently gave Democrat Doug Jones a stunning 10-point lead over Moore, while most others show Moore polling a few points ahead of Jones. Either way, that’s a whole lot of Alabamans who are fine with this.

Franken is a Senator, a long time public figure, and an adult. The allegations against him are credible and point towards a pattern of behavior. We hold adults, public figures, and politicians to a higher standard and we recognize that repeated behavior is more serious than one-offs.

Tch. Resign? Yeah, this is why, to quote that first episode of The Newsroom (simpler times), the left always fucking loses. So willing to shoot itself in the foot at the first bump in the road, even though they kind of need their feet to get away from the car trying to fucking run them down.

As someone who was sexually abused over many years, I can say with some authority that when you call MIMING TOUCHING someone’s breasts sexual assault you diminish the experiences of all of us who have actually been assaulted. I too am wildly disappointed with Al Franken and agree that picture was FUCKED UP- but IT’S…

I think the pic isn’t sexual assault. It is def sexual harassment. I suppose you could make the argument that it is objectively “less bad” than assault. But I think that’s a tricky argument to get into because both sexual harassment and sexual assault are coming from the same societal problems re: treatment of women.…

“Watching Justice League made us vomit repeatedly!”

No worries. It was un-Canadian of me to correct you in public. I’m sorry.

Yeah, but six years later you have pretty much the same thing...
