Using New York as an example of attorney costs is the worst. Divorce attorneys fought for years against no fault divorce because they knew it would cut into their massive paydays. Mediation could be a better starting point for a couple that has mostly agreed on what they expect and want.

I’m past having kids, but I learned the hard way that an OBGYN who can’t handle emotionally supporting a patient going through a miscarriage/possible miscarriage should be dumped and a new, sympathetic doctor found. If they can’t be supportive then, they’re almost certainly going to be crap with everything else.

I’m at an advanced age and the work I do requires being onsite a lot of the time. I would love to be able to work offsite, but I’m not looking to go back to school when I’m at the age to be working out my retirement schedule and location. I do plan to retire out of the area, out of the U.S., if possible, to take…

I’ve suffered with depression since I was a kid. The anxiety never got diagnosed until a few years ago, when the insomnia would get so bad I turned into a zombie—two hours a night of sleep does not work. I’m also suffering some PTSD, but I thankfully got some medication that helped and things are better.

A lot of Russians missed Stalin, then Putin arrived to replace him, and, despite everything, they love him.

I’m considering setting up a pool as to how long before the pres dies accidentally (slip and fall in shower with massive head wound/ alligator attack at Mar a Lago resulting in massive head wound/ phone blows off the side of his head resulting in massive head wound). You know there are agencies making plans.

I wanted to punch something when I read that story, especially how much she’s getting paid working at her mom’s nonprofit. *cough* someone’s profiting *cough*

A dog, purebred or otherwise, is not just a dog. They aren’t cogs that will fit into any family or lifestyle. That’s why some people buy purebreds. Yeah, the average breeder sucks, but you can find good breeders. Rescue dogs often need extra attention, even therapy. They could have been abused, neglected, abandoned.…

Maybe his complaint is that the dogs were rescues that were never rehabilitated or received training or therapy.

I want to know why they couldn’t get someone to coach Dinklage on the accent. His accent in GoT is nails on a chalkboard for me, and I’m American.

The faux stuff is usually washable (NOT DRYABLE). That reminds me, I want to pick up some minky while I have a coupon.

And the throws are washable!

I’ve gotten into the habit of tossing my sponges into the dishwasher whenever I run it. There’s always a little space on the top shelf somewhere. The sponges get cleaned every two to three days. Nothing stinks. I don’t have to worry about bacteria, which, since I’m on medication for an autoimmune disorder that…

I toss my sponges (I usually have two in use at any given time) in the dishwasher every time I run it. I don’t see how I’m wasting valuable time, water or cleaning supplies to do that.

I believe it goes back to why we crawled out of the sea in the first place.

I have a mop similar to the one on sale, and it’s great for wood floors. I wet the pad and fill the reservoir with Bona and it’s incredibly easy and fast. I toss the pads in the wash afterward.

I literally dump two cups water, one cup short grain white rice into a one-quart Creuset pot, stir, heat to boil, turn down the heat, put the lid on, and ignore it for 20-25 minutes. No butter, salt, or oil. Perfect rice every time. That’s how my mom learned to cook it from her friend who was Japanese. 

Yes and no. A crowned ruler who is a woman would not necessarily lose control over her lands. This is often spelled out in the marriage contract. It was also common in marriage contracts among the nobility that a woman’s inheritance could remain in her control. This was a big part of the hostilities between Eleanor of…

There’s a difference between being granted a title and receiving a coronation.

A queen has historically been considered a consort (thanks, Patriarchy), so when she receives the title as the wife of the king, she’s basically given certain authority, but the king is still the ruler and running the show.
