You are so right. We live in a time of very poor medical care. If you have a good doctor or medical center, hang on for dear life. The quality of so many doctors in a step below mediocre. Not god-awful but not good either. When I hear our elected officials pontificate about the quality of our medical care, I see…

Beyond cute. Almost, almost, makes me forget the Nazi picture. But then, nah, too many friends don't have grandparents or have grandparents raised without parents to find a Nazi costume worn at a party to be forgettable.

Referring to another post about Jennifer Aniston mothering her dogs, friends, friends' children, rather than having some of her own. This! This is why is so much tougher mothering people that belong to you no matter what, unlike friends' children who go home. I also have two boys who argue about everything. I'm…

It is tedious. She could easily not talk about it, or just say she's 40 something and that ship has sailed. As for mothering dogs, I'm for it. Because mothering children is painful. Just had my lovely 13 year old tell me he hates me because I didn't have the right jeans washed for him this morning. And only last…

Hmmmm, do you think, perhaps, we're being manipulated?

And a very Faux Joyeux Noel to you too.

Thank you! It's great to see logical, sensible words about food on the interweb once in a while. I live in California. I think I will go over the edge if I hear more about these terrible toxins and the only thing that will save me from early death, and even worse—wrinkles, is to eat _______ (insert cult food of the…

I wonder if this applies to other older European countries like Germany or France? It doesn't here. We have our own different, unfair infrastructure, but I wonder what other countries have this?

I remember seeing the episode, but I interpreted it a little differently. There have always been rumors about Cosby and women other than his wife. Some tsk tsking about Camille turning a blind eye to it. I thought the Aunt Paulette joke was pointing to that. I was a little kid during the Nixon era, we're used to…

I think it may be the only way to get through it. Initially, I didn't set a timer for it, then, I thought, who are you kidding? How could I not watch it? It's ridiculous the crisis this creates for me. Drinking is the only way.

My 40-something year old aunt got sick of all the crazy around her, and she changed. She started to let things go, let her kids be themselves and not get crazy when they weren't the way she thought they should be. She quit smoking, then took up having a drink or two on the weekend (she didn't drink at all before).…

It is a little bit. But why at 30-something doesn't the woman run her own life 100%? Why allow your mom or husband have any say on how you run your life or career, other than an optional opinion once in a while? And why would arguing be the end of a marriage? I've been married forever and there's pictures of us…

I agree. The hubster and I have had bigger arguments in the supermarket over sourdough or regular french bread.

Yes! John Cho!

We were told to walk with confidence. Rapists don't like women with confidence. Really?

And I bet if you asked the copywriter to fix it, he'd ask, "What part needs fixing?"

I call myself a fat girl, but you can't call me a fat girl. I say it so you know, I know I'm a little chunky. But if you say it, I don't know what you're saying to me. Are you trying to be cruel? Are you calling me ugly? Or are you saying I'm a little chunky? The word is too loaded to considered just another…

Gretchen's win made me so angry I stopped watching the show for two years.

Great and awful. Either way, or both, Martha always gives me a headache. But not before sucking me in and me wasting 20 minutes before I realize I will never make any of the beautiful looking food or crafts.

In Silicon Valley of the 80s and 90s, it was a definite boys club. I know because I was one of the few technical women who was allowed to 'play' with the boys. I came into programming 'sideways', like many of the men who originated and used the programming languages of the time. In the early 80s, there weren't…
