Prince Albert is just annoyed that Meghan lent credence to Princess Charlene’s claims that her passport was confiscated by Monaco officials when she tried to leave the country before her wedding. Three times. Oh, those crazy royals and their silly traditions. Read more

That’s where I am from. My county is leading the State in vaccines despite all the Covid deniers, and you just explained why. Although I have heard of people quietly getting their shots and the county health nurse knows that they do not want the “I’ve been vaccinated” sticker because it clashes with the “Trump 2024"… Read more

I’d settle for a personal plague of locusts in his pants.  Read more

Yep, rural MO escapee here. My mom and her friend signed up for a class on Christian Womanhood at the local church. Her friend had been widowed a few years earlier, and was asked to leave the class because she did not have a man that she needed to serve. My mom, who was leaving with her friend because she rightfully… Read more

Don’t worry about their nutrition every day, but think more about balancing it out over the weeks. Some days they won’t eat vegetables, one day my son ate nothing but shrimp and pineapple, and now that they are tweens I think they are pure ramen. Keep a healthy balance available and don’t make every meal a struggle. Read more

When “Jesus, take the wheel” fails, pivot to “Satan, take the blame.” Read more

I spend a lot of time in my kitchen, and my family makes literally hundreds of pounds of candy at the holidays. We love the island because you aren’t facing a wall while you are working, and we can pass things back and forth easily. Our counter isn’t exactly a showpiece, and it has more than a few nicks and dings, but… Read more

Falafel at 2:00 AM from a truck outside of Harvard Yard. It was hot, just messy enough to keep me alert so I didn’t ruin my clothes, and wonderfully absorbent so that I didn’t have a hangover the next day. Perfect food at the perfect time.  Read more

The bathroom at the Kathmandu airport. It was basically a large room with wooden walls that did not go all the way to the ceiling surrounding a wooden platform with holes cut in it—like an inside outhouse. My daughter and I were very sick with intestinal parasites and I had to hold her in a death grip so her tiny body… Read more

Good for you. He had it back in the late ‘70's, when they would not give odds for recovery and the best course of treatment was to remove lymph nodes from his entire chest/abdomen and map them for possible spreading. He is filled with tiny titanium tags that light up like a Christmas tree on scans. Read more

Jefe, my dad has a slightly longer scar from the same surgery over 40 years ago, although his involved them cracking his sternum/ribs and checking out his lungs while they were in there. I hope you have as long and healthy of a life as he is living, with lots of time to contemplate your choice of tattoos. Read more

I have been WFH since mid-March with two kids, two large dogs, two cats, and one house-husband. The cats are the stars of the show. Read more

There is an entire industry that supports these “save the babies” adoptions, and they are some nasty, judgmental people. I adopted as a single woman and had to switch agencies mid-stream due to my referring country’s change in rules, and finding an agency that would accept me as a single, not particularly religious… Read more

I loved that movie. Steve Earle was just so impossibly young. Read more

I really am enjoying Alone on the History Channel. Ten people are dropped off near each other in a remote area, but they will not see or communicate with anyone for the unknown duration of the season. They must find food and water, build a fire, and create a safe shelter, all while filming themselves. They have a… Read more

I was all excited about the cardinal family that is back for a second summer in my yard until I realized they think it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. They got all of my first crop of blueberries, are snacking on my raspberries, and now they are sampling my tomatoes with their beaks. I was willing to share, but rampant… Read more

We watch it with our teens and my son narrates just how hard people fall on their balls. It’s stupider than Holy Moley, but overall the perfect family fun show. Read more

That is an excellent title for a country song. It’s got family, the threat of violence, and a shout-out to the best music of all. I picture a packed crowd yelling “Hell, Yeah!” every time this question is sung.  Read more

She was also raped or at least nearly raped by British soldiers in the first season.  Read more

I was very offended by this headline. You forgot the words “slowly and painfully.”  Read more
