Word. I saw Elvin Jones play a couple of years before he died - he was in his 70's but he was still sharp and tight as all get out. Turns out that before they were old, elderly folk were young people with lives and skills, and SOMETIMES they continue being actual humans after they pass 60...

Ughhh.. this is the worst:

Eeeeeevry once in a while, my mother-in-law (my tiny, wonderful, pious Hindu mother-in-law) puts my laundry away. I feel like it's bad enough she knows I wear thongs. Discreet is all good with me.

I've had three unmedicated vaginal births. They were all poop free (I mean, I went to the bathroom a lot during early labor, but there wasn't any public pooing), I never tore, and vagina-gazing by the midwife was pretty damned minimal. It wasn't a trip to the spa or anything, but it did seem to be the most efficient…

I recently went from super-long hair to a cute little bob. I dig it, I really do. But then my husband pointed out that I sort of have the same hair as DOE director Ernest Moniz. And now I can't unsee it. To be fair, that's a lot of body and shine for old man hair.

Since we live in a world where plenty of people (including my parents and siblings, with whom we usually celebrate Thanksgiving) eat meat and I think it's SUPER rude to talk smack about other people's food at the table, I try to take a fairly neutral stance - "Many people eat meat, but we don't. If you decide you…

I make a kind of version of this that's basically almond butter, dates, and raw cocoa powder..* Just throw it in the blender and eat it with a spoon, or roll it into balls and throw on some shredded coconut.

Double edged sword though, I don't want their first sentence to be "calm the fuck down" (hilarious as that would be to my husband and me).

OMG this is so frickin timely! I just bought my first pack of "women's" razor cartridges in forever (my husband and I used to share the regular kind, but he switched to an electric razor and these happened to be cheaper today).

All I can think of is how long he's standing in front of that open door with the snow outside... YOU'RE LETTING ALL THE HEAT OUT, DUDE!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE HEATING OIL IS?

Word, but they'll actually have to DO stuff to be recognized as awesome. It's a good thing, don't get me wrong, but is probably a tough transition after being showered with love and praise for no obvious reason. I was a pretty ugly baby - totally bald til I was two and with a sort of bull-dog face, so I have no idea,…

I had two stupendously gorgeous, traffic-stopping babies, and one standard cute baby with traffic-stopping personality coming out of his protuberant little ears. I can't freaking get anywhere, it's like walking around with tiny celebrities. Strangers point, wave, take pictures, play peek-a-boo on public…

My family had a computer in the early nineties, but no internet connection until the late nineties (by which time I was in college) - it was basically a glorified word processor and a place to play Solitaire and Minesweeper. I had a school assigned internet pen-pal in my computer class in high school, but I also took…

Huh. My (young-ish? My dad was 25, my mom 30) parents had me in 1980 and my siblings and I were latch-key kids, but they also took an active interest (my mom was a band parent, participated in school board politics, etc.) - they just both worked full time and we were expected to get ourselves where we needed to go. …

Duh, what man would want to kiss a woman who did THAT with her mouth?! OBV the kissers and the bj recipients are different! Cause ieeww..kissing a mouth that recently embraced a penis totally makes you gay.

Ugh. I will see this move, but this news is still so fresh to me, and so completely heartbreaking and infuriating... it's still like a punch to the gut. Glad to see it's getting some quality treatment though.

Huh. I have three kids and live in a wealthy, progressive area where most people seem to have 0-2. People tend to think I'm some sort of backwoods fundamentalist and they definitely don't presume wealth and status when they see our brood. It doesn't help that I started having kids about a decade younger than most of…

Sell your stock in affordably-priced baby food, America, because the only people popping out wee ones are the Wealthies who can afford to hire organic storks to personally feed their offspring like baby birds OR people who give their babies mashed up Flamin' Hot Cheetos mixed with Mountain Dew Code Red and forget they…

Dude, I totally eat dahl and guac together, but it is because I am addicted to avocados. In any event dahl can mean a lot of different things, some of which are more versatile and fusion-friendly than others.

Why was it so expensive? I make my own almond milk, and it's just water and almonds. I buy organic almonds in bulk for 6.99/lb. 1/4 C almonds = about 1 C almond milk, so that would take 4 C almonds for a gallon. Obviously liquid ounces don't translate directly to lbs, but it should be about 3.50 worth of almonds…
