My kids face forward, but I make up for it my driving backwards everywhere I go.

Okay, I'm gonna be that guy, but this is an important subject to me given my family history of breast cancer at an early age.

Everyone has the BRCA 1 & 2 genes. It's only when they carry certain mutation that you become more prone to developing certain cancers. You have to compare your genes to someone who has those specific cancers to know if you're at risk and how high that risk is. If there is no one in your family with ang of those…

Only a third? Cheapo! I like to establish a 529 savings account for my waitstaffs' children.

Real talk: I had a step-relative in small-town Arkansas who showed me pictures she took in class. They had put on some kind of skit where they were all characters from The Voice. And this relative was...Cee Lo Green. I looked at the pictures, and my mouth fell open. She was in full blackface. I asked if her teacher…

In order for the laser to work, you have to have a very specific contrast of the pigment of the hair to the pigment of the skin. I was getting a laser treatment at a salon and I asked the technician if she had gotten anything laser and she said she couldn't because her hair and skin were too light. Without the…

What I mean to say here is...at 63, I am enjoying myself, still have a unique identity and have always leaned in an artsy direction which continues to grow. And I take good care of myself which I have done for a long time and it is paying off. So, when you are 63, I can only wish you find as much fun and happiness…

Except that you don't look back and smile, because behaving hatefully doesn't get you anything back. And I say this as someone who didn't invite a parent to a wedding.

It's some of the least helpful advice around, the advice to engage in any way with people, including parents, who've abused you. If that's really…

I think the point that countesslemongrab was trying to make was that these parents were loving their child, in their way. They have a narrow worldview, informed by a narrow faith but that doesn't alter that they loved their child.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion on here but: to everyone who's saying stuff like "they didn't love their child so they have no right to grief" can really just stfu.

i work for a postal company in the usa's self righteous liberal cousin and people calling in to track shit are so fucking annoying. they don't get the concept scans only tell you where an item has been not where it is now. or explaining how we didn't get an item because the courier for who they ordered from is fucking…

For fucks sake. UPS, FedEx, and USPS wills move over a billion packages this month. With only a tiny fraction of those packages being lost or stolen. (And btw, most are stolen, not lost.)

2 words: buckwheat pillow. Now more words- super firm, never goes flat, never gets hot.

I don't dismiss her books as airport fiction or chick lit, I dismiss them as badly written dreck. Seriously, I have more respect for Stephanie Meyer because at least her books are entertaining. My Sister's Keeper is one of the most offfensive things I have ever touched.

Obviously you're not a golfer.

But the fact is that people generally like to socialize with people mostly like themselves. People feel more comfortable around people who have things in common with them. And so you end up with a company where people share a lot of the same extracurricular interests, which sounds great until you realize how many of…

I disagree. This is how companies develop a very monolithic culture with no diversity.

Years. Years. Here is an excerpt from one of my most treasured exchanges:
