I married a research engineer. He knows everything about nothing practical, so he understands that I’m in control of just about anything outside his work environment. He’s lucky I’m a benign overlord.

I love the name Ella, it’s just that right now it’s so IN that those of us working with children have to give the them names like Ella N. and Ella B. and Ella R. For the Clooneys it’s not a huge problem, but for the rest of the world, JUST CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE! I speak as a 70's version of this problem where I was…

I’m pescatarian, mostly vegetarian, and I’m not wasting my fish points on a shitty fish like Tilapia, which is only an edible fish because it’s fish-textured.

Hire a new PR person STAT. I’m available. “Pending litigation prevents us from giving a full account of our position at this time. We are confident that the court will support our investigative facts, and we look forward to the day when we can put this to rest and and media attention can once again focus on what…

Well, I wouldn’t want her around innocent puppies either.

Ex-convict RAPIST, sex offender to boot.

Rookie. You do a full on squat with shoes on the toilet seat so that your shoes aren’t even visible below the stall. This pose also allows you to fully evacuate your bowels in one go. You’re welcome! 

We have always bought used — ALWAYS! — but this year as we went to upgrade our 2002 Toyota we couldn’t find any newish Honda or Toyota. In the end we had to buy a new Honda HRV. It broke my stingy heart to buy a new car.

Love this story!

Who?

My daughter says her brother eats hot dogs like a duck — just opens his neck and down it goes!

We are vegetarians/pescatarians. I still make frank and beans with Field Roast frankfurters. Haven’t tried them with mac and cheese, but there’s an idea!

Well, I live along the Gulf Coast, so I guess we’re spoiled. Most shrimp are frozen on the boat — and you want it that way! — but good quality (not farm raised) shrimp don’t need much batter to make them tasty. I know other areas of the country aren’t so lucky, and still I think for seafood you can do better than RL…

Boden is my conservative go-to, because their clothing is generally well-made, and with a bit of British quirk. I love their outerwear and tops.

Have you asked anyone to hang out? I only mention it because I met a women at yoga class last week who was new to the area, and after I left I wondered if I should have invited her to have lunch with me since I was headed to eat lunch by myself anyway. I wish I had. And after reading your post, next time I will!

I’ve been drinking more than usual. Working out more and doing yoga to compensate physically. Volunteering with a program that raises money to offer and promote spay/neuter services in our community (because pet overpopulation is a social problem we can largely solve!), and also volunteering with Guardian ad Litem.…

Yes, we watched “All in the Family,” “Sanford and Son,” “The Jeffersons” and “Good Times.” I kinda miss the days when you damn well watched whatever was on TV or you watched nothing at all, because now television is segregated to an extent it wasn’t in the 70's. I think Empire (first season) is perhaps the only modern…

Macron looks pretty and so does Melania — but you are right, both aren’t appropriate for the occasion.

She does look very pretty. The issue is that her dress isn’t appropriate for the event, a daytime photo op featuring the spouses of world leaders. I’ve seen her wear other outfits on the trip that would have been perfect. Maybe you’re right and she just doesn’t give a shit and said, “Fuck it! I’ll wear whatever I…

I was thinking the same thing. I mean, she looks very pretty, but the dress, shoes and hair are not suitable for a daytime, political photo op featuring the spouses of world leaders.
