Yes my very smart MIL voted for him, as did my immigrant, overly religious SIL and my BIL on disability (dubiously), as did my OTHER SIL and BIL. I think so far less of all of them than I did before. I’m not sure I can ever trust their judgement again in any capacity. Does that make sense? I guess I just want to be…

I think we all just want to see the pee pee video. Can we all agree to pitch in, say, $20 each to watch the pee pee video? The person who released it would make a huuuuuuge profit.

As a woman and a mother, that’s the one that got me. I can’t believe anyone voted for him after that. I guess I overestimated people. Never again...

Yes, in a lot of areas I would prefer if the fish were frozen beforehand! It won’t taste nearly as good as fresh-caught, but it will taste miles better than three-day-old (or more) fish sold as “fresh, never frozen.”

My young adult son’s hippie/vintage suitcase got “lost” on his last flight from the US (home) to AUS (where he currently lives). I had sent him back with a stack of unmarked bars of homemade soap and a lb of P.A.N. (a blanched cornmeal we use for breading fresh fish...but most people use for arepas), oh and some…

I always worry about my Dohm white noise machine. It would look sketchy as fuck on an ex-ray. But I’ve never had my luggage searched — that I know of!

I was ADOPTED and got two amazing parents. Then got knocked up at 18 and I married into a family of divorced in-law parents (both remarried) that all got along and weren’t totally crazy, just a little bit every now and then but who isn’t. How often does that happen. Our 31st anniversary is Wednesday. I only hate him…

Trudeau looks like he’s meeting his much less attractive American cousin, the cousin that’s heard all about him through their mothers. Only Ryan remembers everything he’s been told about Trudeau, and Trudeau remembers nothing about Ryan. So Ryan’s playing the Patty Duke theme show in his mind and Trudeau’s wondering…

You aren’t great yet? You’re simply not using the word often enough.

I love Sara Jarosz!

Thanks for your review. We have a 23-year-old Kenmore top freezer that is still going strong, and I dread the day when we have to replace it because I know newer kitchen appliances aren’t built to go 23+ years. I’ve been looking at all options and looking for practical opinions from people who’ve lived with various…

Yeah, I just made a seaweed salad. I feel worse about that than the loss of this guy.

Can you think of a WORSE candidate?

Good Shit.

I knew a Richard Seaman. Wisely, he did not call himself “Dick.”

Which Obama? I’d vote for either.

I’m down to one book per week, after three per week in previous years. Only because I’ve added a new rescue dog and more shifts at work to cover for a staff member whose husband is terminal and started volunteering for a legal aid in a capacity that benefits foster children.

When a man dresses like that (like they’re thrown away, as my mom used to say), it means the women in his life just don’t give a shit. It’s a sign and we should all pay attention.

Aleppo makes “Aleppo Pepper.” True! (I mean, it is probably true. And it is really really really good pepper.)
