I am the opposite. This is one of my least favorite commercials. I think it’s disgusting.

I know you’re excited about your project, but I feel like creative people should be compensated for their work with something more than a copy of the book. Just my opinion. See also: Should I Work for Free?

I’ll wait 7 or 8 years before his book “Doing Nothing: How I Learned the Priceless Art of Relaxation After I Had to Spend 2 Years in Bed Due to a Mysterious Chronic Illness.”

You know, I met this amazing fitness instructor/spa owner, S. She told me a story about always having au pairs for her kids when they were young, because she was busy running the business. One of the au pair girls had a situation at home where her parents didn’t want to give her an education, but S knew the au pair…

Do you know that if someone comments to you, you can dismiss their comment? Just for future reference.

What about the sand?

Ok. Just swallowed half a pound of charcoal and sand. I’ll let you know how it goes.

It’s what God would want, because divorce is bad, you see.

I’m just glad to find someone who understands.

One of my mom’s chief goals in life is to not get tired. She says it all the time “Don’t wear yourself out.” “Your sister looks so TIRED.” So I never get any validation for doing things. I usually get a head shake and “You’re always so (sigh) busy. I don’t understand what you’re doing with all these things you do.”

I don’t think anyone from California actually calls it “Cali”. Not that I have ever heard, anyway.

In my mom’s old age, she has become more and more self-centered, though she was a really good mom to me as a kid. I can be with her for an hour and she will never ask anything about me, but will prattle on and on about the lettuce in her sandwich. It makes me feel oddly invisible.

Totally. LOTS o kittens!

I used to volunteer at an animal shelter where we had lots of community service people. They always got to clean the sick kitten poo cat litter trays. She should be happy about the tutoring.

I’m with Emma! Pour me a nice tall glass - not a teeny cup - of haterade.
