hasn’t changed...many years ago, I discovered they had been charging my dad a monthly rental fee - for almost 20 years-for a *rotary* phone he returned decades previously. Wouldn’t refund and demanded I MAIL THE NON-EXISTENT PHONE TO THEM. They suuuuuck. Good luck!
After extensive web research whilst doing laundry, I am now convinced Kate Middleton is either negotiating the largest divorce settlement the BRF has ever paid out, is recovering from a mental health crisis, or is dead.
Yes, it is time for

to leave the ACC, but I won’t be satisfied until every person currently on the CFP Committee gets booted and there is an independent investigation into ESPN’s involvement with the Committee’s decision to put Alabama before FSU.

I adopted a *very* curious kitten when my sons were all home from college for the summer. Despite my best efforts but for obvious reasons, my kiddos called him The Terrorist and it stuck. Try calling the vet and giving that name for an appointment. 🤦🏼♀️

As a Christian, I have a difficult time with using the Bible as a weapon, not a guide. It is impossible for me to reconcile the “Christian Right” narrative with biblical teachings. It’s entirely- as you note- a bridge that simply can’t be crossed.

What your niece will remember most about this is the people who stood with her. She’ll know not all men are creeps because her beloved uncle believed her. Give her a hug and stand by her. And thank you, from the women who were once her age.

She’s very young, and should be given the opportunity to change. This doesn’t have to be who she is for the rest of her life.

Many ordinary people, like myself, give themselves shots every day. No reason we couldn’t be given a little more training and pitch in to help. 🤷🏼♀️
no matter how bad the media is portraying 2021, there is no way in hell i would ever go back to having a republican president. life in 2021, however flawed, is infinitely better than 2020.
Remember when Steve Bannon said he was all about "deconstruction of the administrative state?" NOW YOU SEE WHAT THAT MEANS. Death. It means death for Americans who didn't have to die. Shame on everyone who gave that clown a platform without challenging him.

My grandmother, who married in the 1930’s after receiving her MA, told me that the secret to a successful marriage was a husband who knew you *could* leave if you wanted. Married 50 happy years. Wise woman.

I’m grateful you are safe, heartbroken some of your schoolmates are not, and proud you have the strength to stand up to people like this on a day like this.

Here’s my adorable Indie, who has been miserably sick all week and is finally recovering at home this morning. Hope today is better for you as well.
Vice President Kamala Harris swears in Secretary Pete Buttigieg in front of his husband Chasten Buttigieg and her husband Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

I had three teenaged boys, two of whom were hockey goalies who *easily* ate 6000 calories a day. We went through a gallon of milk a day. I can’t imagine who needs 12 gallons of milk/week. 🙄

Wandered her way into a friend’s yard during a cold snap. Had lost most of her tail to an animal; the stub remaining had obviously been broken. Took a while to catch her. 9 years later, she is the queen of my mother’s home.
@JoyAnnReid
Thanks for sharing this. (My sweetest moment as a parent was when my son’s AP History teacher told me kiddo went on a rant about Jackson in her class, railing about Jackson owning slaves and the Trail of Tears. Never been prouder.)
I usually prefer my science in small words and short sentences, with as few equations as possible, but even I could follow along. Quite good and worth a read.
I do not and will never understand why people hate the Duchess so much. Does

My cousin in Iowa says their precinct in Burlington had 67 voters. Three viable candidates got a delegate: Sanders, Buttigieg, and Yang. Innnnteresting.
#IowaCaucus
I’ve taken care of people with “indigestion” who had heart attacks
People with “pink eye” who had vision-threatening infections
Ppl with a “tension headache” who had brain bleed
This policy is horrible. Patients shouldn’t be forced to decide if they’re having an “emergency”😬
I really try not to judge other mothers, but this is an absolute parenting fail.
Unsecured guns AND unsecured ammunition. I wouldn’t let my children -or, now, grandchildren- anywhere near your home.
Waaay too many of my comfortably upper-middle class suburban friends (not all) are whining about the economy and how well they’ve done under this administration and how they’ll lose money under Biden.
Money means more to them than decency. I know these people. I mean. Wow.
@chrislongview
It is hard to watch. A friend’s son died in a public bathroom from an overdose when he was 24. Hunter Biden is a recovering addict, not dead and buried, and that’s a damn miracle. His recovery is pro-life…but logic and compassion are absent in most Republicans these days.

People are immunocompromised for different reasons: cancer, rhematoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, diabetes, etc. Should ALL in this category be worried, or just some. And if just some, which?
What I enjoy most about Rex Huppke's columns is he is really digs in there, gets you the story behind the story. For example he finds the common ground between anti-masking on airlines and bronzing your boys. Read the whole column, you'll thank yourself
I try to limit personal attacks and profanity on Twitter, but needs must.

Fuck you, fuck you, and, in case you are still unsure of where I stand in this issue, FUCK YOU.
NEWS: Sen. Susan Collins, who supports abortion rights, says she would oppose Senate Dems' bill to legalize abortion nationwide through viability because other provisions go too far.
I believe James Comey; I always have. After watching him speak tonight, I also believe he’s a self-righteous asshole. One does not negate the other. Also, this interview is boring as hell.

I’ve learned more than enough about climate change from Hayes’ show (and podcast) to terrify me - as we all should be. His consistent balance of both big picture *and* nuance highlights what good reporting can be.
The last goodbye is hard. Jimmy Carter has lived his life by faith and with dignity. He was devoted to his family and loved by many. That’s a good life, right there.
@chrislongview
Your (teenage!) niece obviously loves and appreciates you. I’d start saving for a tiara for *her*, right now.
Off to teach my grandsons to call me Queen instead of granny…
@JulieDiCaro
A family member had an ectopic pregnancy rupture. She came thisclose to bleeding to death; she was lucky. This bill is premeditated murder. My God.
I’m horrified and sad and feel helpless, but I’m not terrified my sons will get shot for being white. Buildings can be rebuilt and restocked but dead is dead.
Perspective.
MIMOSAS TO GO? Oh my my, oh hell yes!
I stocked up on champagne before my self quarantine, but not everyone has my priorities. Go get you some.
#daydrinking
Most of us cannot Sunday without mimosas. We are going to do $10 bottle of champagne that comes with your choice of:
5 oranges to squeeze for fresh OJ
16 ounces of blood orange juice
16 ounces of cranberry juice
Call 850-894-6276 and also getting on Uber Eats ASAP

10 days after being exposed to Covid, my very high risk kiddo has tested negative again. I might be able to sleep tonight.
Please be safe this holiday season. Don’t risk someone else’s life- or your own.
Snotty is such a good word, don’t you think? I suspect almost everyone has had interactions with *that* type of person, a time or two. Warren perfectly captured the moment. In a word.
And Porter is magnificent.
"Florida is undercounting the number of people who died from COVID-19 by thousands of cases, casting new doubt on claims that Gov. Ron DeSantis navigated the coronavirus pandemic successfully."
And this is why some companies are simply better at customer service. For those that excel at it, it is an expression of their humanity. All the feels, indeed.
On 11/14/20... I shared my story about my dad’s last bottle of bourbon that he opened before cancer took him in ‘92 when I was 10 yr old. The bottle was Maker’s Mark. I am extremely humbled to receive this letter in the mail today from Rob Samuels. Extremely humbled.
Is it possible that POTUS hasn’t been getting tested and instead has been relying on everyone else getting tested?
What if HE is patient zero at the WH? That would explain why he got sick so quickly— because he’s actually been ill for days.
My 85 yo mother- who has old school manners- just bought this shirt and plans on wearing it proudly. If you knew her, you’d know that’s a VERY BIG deal. What are YOU doing to ensure women have agency over their own bodies?
