Yes! I stole this photo from the google.

My husband is high up in a STEM field and does something similar. He’ll try to finish my sentences and when I call him on it, he says he thought he knew what I was going to say. Fortunately, it’s not constantly, and I give him such serious side eye when it happens that he’s made an effort to curb the habit.

Kyra Sedgwick’s character did this “Thank you” to perfection in “The Closer.”

I wonder if she was, like, almost finished and the concert was that day and she just had to get it done for her one shot at delivering it to the mom (T Swift tix are expensive, no?). I know nothing about knitting.

I lived in SD for sooooo long and did not know about this event. I feel like I really missed out here! (BTW Awesome username!)

There’s an annual corgis-in-costumes walk that goes around a lake near my house and it’s ridiculously popular. People love the corgis.

Agreed, but he could’ve said that and probably saved himself the trouble.

Maybe the couple was getting matching buzz cuts? But seriously, I have friends who are stylists who straight-up tell people if they’re not very experienced with a certain type or texture of hair. After that it’s proceed at your own risk, but don’t come back complaining when it’s not your best ‘do.

Wow, that’s amazing that you met them all and that she was there for the adopted daughter who reached out. My other grandma had a severe stroke and died when I was very little, but I remember very clearly sitting on her lap in a rocking chair and how keenly she tried to communicate with my family. As for my grandma

It was really nothing special in the scheme of things, but she documented everything meticulously. She grew up in Beverly Hills, married a boy from the Bronx that she met (and fought another girl over) at a USO dance during WWII (he’d exaggerated his age to enlist). Then they raised three kids and had adventures on a

My grandmother died a month ago and one of my biggest regrets was not recording her history. I’d planned to do so during her next visit — I was supposed to pick her up from the airport this morning, actually — but she got very sick out of the blue. Of course, her story was nowhere near as riveting as this woman’s, but

To be fair, I asked him because I suspected as much and he said yes. I would love to be the wrong one in this scenario, of course, and find out heaven is real. But if so I hope it would be a tad more welcoming than the evangelical pearly gates. Sounds like a boring place to spend eternity.

My brother, a pastor, told me that our deeply religious parents are heartbroken because they know my atheist ass won’t be joining them in heaven someday.

Right? My grandpa enlisted when he was barely 17 (he lied about his age) and fought at Iwo Jima, among other nasty battles. He watched his friends die in a blood bath. After the war he came home, took a job as a bus driver and raised three kids. He never spoke about it, though he struggled with PTSD, and he remained

This will get lost in the grays but my husband is a professor who was hired during a major downturn. Before he got tenure recently, he was making about the same as a new hire who was way less of a hotshot than he is (no bias; he’s a serious up-and-comer in his field). I couldn’t begrudge the new hire, a really cool

Sometimes it’s worth the risk. After proving my worth and then some in a newsroom, they still had me working a painfully boring early-morning shift because I was really good at it. I’d been pushing my immediate managers nicely for quite some time to move me (not even asking for a pay raise). I finally went to the top

Maybe you are and you just didn’t know it! It’s totally not an insult.
