I love my husband. My MIL is passive-aggressive and sets my teeth on edge. I spend large portions of family dinners in the bathroom. She probably thinks I have bulimia, but in ten years I have never killed her, so it is working for me. True story—I once tried for ten minutes to tell her no, I would not do something… Read more
It is probably equal parts not liking your mom and not liking your lack of space/privacy. Would you like a random roommate like her? And parent/child relationships can wax and wane with time and circumstance, and still work. My mom is a Sarah Palin-loving Republican. I would rather say that I was raised by wolves. We… Read more
I have a fancy stand mixer with a breadhook, and I rarely use it bc I am so used to handmixing and I need to feel things coming together. At least it was a gift, and it came with two great bowls that I love. Read more

And his hair is clean! Maybe Scientology is working for him. Read more
It is neccesary for people, for the complex sounds we make to articulate. Maybe not much for a dog. My son has a cleft lip/palate, and I am shocked at what our insurance doesn't want to cover. The next hurdle is orthodontia, which is not cosmetic if he can't chew properly. I have tormented my insurance so often I… Read more
Number 3 needs to bide her time, stay friends, and then when her friend is on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills she can blackmail her for tickets to events and Andy Cohen's private number. You have to create drama to be a star in reality TV, and isn't that the real point of life? Read more
That is great news. Cats have an uncanny ability to pick their people. And to find the angels to help them along the way. Louie Mewie was lucky that he met someone who cared so much about a little creature in need. Read more
Red-Head is a bit upset at the manipulations, but her backstory and indebtedness to Olivia explain part of her initially passive response. Would you watch it again for naked Scott Foley? He is there, waiting for you to watch him, while he is watching Olivia. Read more
Holy crap, that kitten is cute. Years ago, I found a kitten on Halloween that my alpha cat tried to eat. I took him to work and let him work his magic. He picked the most unlikely crabby bachelor, and attached his tiny self to his shirt. Ten years later, still best friends. My point is, just take the kitty everywhere… Read more
Is he a Hemingway with the extra toe? Read more
One year anniversary tonight, ten years total together. He got me a tin statue of our family, I got him 10 year-old blended Scotch for our blended family. We are one grandson richer, with a son who can now legally marry, and another year older and wiser together. Read more
That is exactly what happened to my cousin, not Vinny, my first legal case. He and some buddies spread a toxic chemical on playground equipment, and the EPA had to be called for clean-up. He pleaded guilty and got a summer of community service at the school, painting classrooms and refinishing floors in the heat. I… Read more
So they are like what we call hash browns. Next time my middle-aged ass is drunk at 3:00 AM, I will feel very posh calling them potato waffles. Read more
I am now thinking real bacon sprinkles. I may have to break out the waffle iron this weekend. Read more
Do potato waffles have an American translation? Are they what we call waffle fries, or are they bigger and better? Read more
Cheese. Cheese in the little crevices is the only reason for this. Read more
The defense would have questioned her on it, and then gone to town insinuating that everything about her testimony was coached. She can't win this-she just has to testify as herself and hope her truth and humanity comes across the jury. Read more
Well, if it is open season to comment on her looks, she has lovely eyes and is giving someone some amazing side-eye in that photo. I hope her friends/family keep her safe and calm tonight—I cannot imagine her pain. Read more
