thank you for posting this. Your dad sounds like a great person.

I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to my father, Marine Corp Colonel Samuel Tillett for his courageous and near fatal actions, attempting to save as many lives as possible 15 years ago today in his position as head of security at The Pentagon. When the plane hit my father was not but a hundred feet from the…

OMG someone actually built that? To resemble a basket? At least the toilet bowl building in Tysons Corner, VA doesn’t literally resemble a toilet bowl.

And now we know what Jesus would do.

Condo boards and parent-teacher associations are where NIMBY helicopter parents and other sanctimonious meddlers go to indulge their autocratic fantasies.

I just want to thank you for this. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while.

jfc. It’s looks like if you tried to pee in the ocean in that thing the piss would shoot up the front, squirt out your cleavage, and hit you in the face.

Yes! My husband has liver cancer and it’s no fucking “journey” and at the end of the day HE has cancer, not me. I do my best to support and take care of him, but he is the one who is experiencing all the shit! I hated that book and I really didn’t understand what the issue was with the first husband.

She certainly gets bored easily. Having a dying lover must feel so noble and romantic. I hope her friend has a strong, stable support network.

A more plausible explanation is that she’s the sort of asshole writer that gets involved with people who she thinks would make a good story she can sell.

Marie Claire was my favorite when she was the editor, lots of great articles about national and global women’s issues. After she left there were lots of articles about the newest cosmetic surgery procedures. It seemed like she got a little more serious content into Cosmo but it all got drowned out by the typical silly…

She was Ann Coulter when Ann Coulter was just a little boy.

This is a magnificent obituary and is exactly how she deserves to be memorialized.

A classic-

It’s looking away out of embarrassment.

I have a 16 and 10 year old. Those damn straw wrappers are every where! ;)

MediocreMike: You absolutely should. The special needs world needs more people like you, seriously. I worked with people with autism for 4 years and it was the most important and transformative period in my adult life. It’s really hard work, but you get to change people in a good way and they also change you in a good…

What a great story....thanks for sharing that. I have a four year old son and I find myself struggling with the joy that he brings me (he could not be a better kid) with the fear of the world he will one day have to face on his own.

I’m on the verge myself. I have a friend who has autistic triplets. Let that sink in for a minute. Her only son, whose also a redhead and looks a lot like that kid pictured is awesome.
