So you really ARE an asshole. OK, thanks for the confirmation!

You chastise your wife? Do you know what that word means? Cause if you severely reprimand her for her choice in TV entertainment, that’s a problem.

For risotto you have ten ounces of chicken, 1.5 cups of rice, and half a cup of wine? No stock? How on earth does this work?

And lest we forget, Richard Gere cheated on Cindy Crawford, who at the time was widely acknowledged as the most gorgeous woman in the universe. Men like strange...always have, always will. It has nothing to do with the attractiveness or any other quality of their partner - they’re still gonna want it elsewhere.…

“I don’t want to *ball* through an entire episode of a show starring Mandy Moore.”

“Ball” is a word us olds used for what I believe you kids now refer to as the “chill” portion of “Netflix and Chill.” To “bawl” is to cry uncontrollably. Therefore, perhaps you DO want to ball through an entire episode of a show starring…

If you are not happy with something, anything, for which you have paid, speak up kindly and politely - always. My family thinks it’s hilarious, but my (always nice) requests to make things right to various folks in customer service have brought us many bonuses and freebies - the most memorable one was two years ago…

By this season (the season that just concluded) she’s basically insufferable, and believe it or not, Bill is the more sympathetic character. But SO many hearts for Libby! It’s a fun show, enjoy it!

I don’t get the Michael Pitt allure, but maybe it’s because I hate the character he plays on “Masters of Sex”? On second thought, I think Lizzy Caplan is gorgeous and I hate her character also. I got nothin’.

This is actually an excellent question. Is my skin what most people consider to be “white”? Yes. Have I been told that I am not white by people who consider Jews to not be white - many times, including the grandfather of my first husband, who refused to speak to me and would actively pretend I was not in the room when…

I was saying to my (white, Christian) husband last night that being an “other” (in my case, a Jew) means feeling somehow responsible for every shitty thing someone in your “other” group does. If you aren’t an other you have no concept of the full-on emotional cringe of knowing how many people will take it as proof of…

This morning I accompanied my just-turned 18-year-old daughter to the polls and we voted for our country’s first woman president. And I announced to everyone at the polls that she was a first-time voter and all the little old lady poll workers applauded and cheered and I cried (because of course I did). This is an…

I was hoping you guys would mention this because it blew me away in its simplicity and lack of decision-drama. When Xo said that the only thing she felt guilty about was that she didn’t feel guilty, it was perfection.

If you haven’t read Andy Cohen’s first two books (especially his first diary) you are really missing out on some hilariousness. Also bonus points for him being honest enough to say that he was looking forward to his shiva visit when Jerry Seinfeld’s mother died because he knew the food would be glorious (filed under…

I am the same way and I am an introvert - being an introvert doesn’t mean you CAN’T do it, it just means that it tires you and you’d prefer to NOT do it (even if you do have fun, which I frequently do).

Some people use the Instant Pot Smart to sous vide.

Small frame large dad no woman in my matriline ever succeded with vaginal birth, spent my entire pregnancy convinced I would have to have a C-section etc, here -not only did I have a successful vaginal birth, I pushed that baby out in 45 minutes. If I can offer any advice at all (besides stop reading birth horror…

Julianne, I’m not sure you’re aware that the term “moon face” is far from a compliment and is mostly used to describe the oddly rounded face one gets with an endocrine disease or steroid use?

My daughter was bald until she was a year old and not much better til close to 2 - now she has wavy, gorgeous hair down past her waist that strangers comment on all the time (and neither her dad or I have great hair). So maybe good things come to those who wait?

As in award-winning and highly sought-after?
