Fun fact, my mom started watching “A Christmas Prince” thinking it was “The Crown.” Confusion ensued. 

Can we not keep on recycling the myths over that McDonalds case for cheap yucks. That is what you are alluding to, even if you try to skirt naming it directly. The whole thing was all kinds of horrific, and is as much a condemnation of American healthcare provision as it is McDonald’s corporate negligence; and there…

Agreed - I just can’t see myself cancelling the Jackson 5. I’ve certainly removed any solo-career-MJ from my playlists, but Kanye is more capable of FUTURE harm.

I love food way too much to give any serious ground to non-alcoholic drinks in my day’s calories.

Giving the bill to the guy was answered

I don’t think reducing the tip is the right answer or anything, but I can certainly understand how it can be annoying, over and over, to have servers conspicuously assume, in 2019, that a man is paying for a shared meal.  That it bothers her is not something that requires therapy, there is no reason it shouldn’t…

Lol, there is nothing “silly” about recognizing the (not all that) modern phenomenon where women make their own money and support themselves and are capable of paying their own way. (Also, for a variety of reasons, not sure you can really ascribe men tending to pick up the tab to “hundreds of thousands of years of…

You have no idea what it’s like to spend all of your waking life dealing with what really is petty bullshit. It really is just petty bullshit, but it’s constant petty bullshit. Sometimes it gets to be too much.

“What irks me is the absolute and total disrespect for a police officer who, instead of being home with family and enjoying a meal and a football game, is patrolling his little town...”

It’s another tiny symptom and a nearly indiscernible shout from a contemptuous, roaring and riotous segment of a misanthropic society that vilifies those who stand for what’s right and glorifies the very people who would usher in the destruction of the social fabric.”

Cops. Comedians. Football coaches. Between the three, I can’t decide which of these professions has the biggest discrepancy between the self-image they all seem to have of being super hard tough guys, and the reality that they tend to be thin-skinned ninnies with all the maturity and pettiness of an 11 year old.

It’s another tiny symptom and a nearly indiscernible shout from a contemptuous, roaring and riotous segment of a misanthropic society that vilifies those who stand for what’s right and glorifies the very people who would usher in the destruction of the social fabric.”

Oh yeah, when I get mad about being called a slur, it’s because I’m a fragile, liberal, snowflake who needs to learn to grow thicker skin. When The Man gets called a slur*, it’s because society is full of morally loose degenerates.

The barista should have been put on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.

Oh no! My favorite writer on this site is leaving. Kate’s articles invariably left me with a goofy grin on my face. I feel like I learned a little bit and laughed a lot.

(a) just as he’s allowed to have and publicize his opinion, others are allowed to have and publicize their opinions of his opinion.

Giving your opinion when asked for your opinion doesn’t insulate you from criticism for the opinion, even if the solicitation explicitly asked for an unpopular opinion.  

I totally get when someone does not like Indian food. What I object to is his corollary that since he doesn’t like it; anyone else who says they like it must be lying! WTF? 

Black leggings, all day. You can even sleep in them. Lower-heeled ankle boots (grey or black), preferably waterproof. Blondi makes cute ones that aren’t too pricey and are also pretty comfortable without looking geriatric. A couple of knit tunics in neutral colors. Pair of jeans or cords. Turtleneck sweater. A long…
