Made the mistake of doing a dramatic reading of the Boscov's holiday gift catalog during lunch and now my 5yo won't stop sniffing the perfume sample sheet and shouting "VIVA LA JUICY"

Ok so you know what really sucks about grief is that the memorial can be over and time can pass and you're starting to feel like you're adjusting and getting used to it but then BAM all of a sudden you're staring down the first big holiday without them and everything opens up again

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked a group chat with many beautiful women, and they gave me valid input, and also, I now know someone’s dog just puked and that Mrs. Meyer’s released a new scent

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

People are always saying stuff like, "I don't know how this thing on social media blew up into such a big drama," and I'll tell you: I dont know. But it’s a tradition for social media to make everything into a giant drama and here's how it goes.

Other than watching kids, I think the category of “food” (purchasing, planning meals, cooking) might be as much work as every other household task combined.

I can't understand why any parent in their right mind would want to hire a newborn photographer. What a waste of time and money. I've literally never met a newborn who could hold a camera, much less take decent photos with it.

I always said I'd never lie to my kids, but no one prepared me for how much of driving my children in the car would include pretending to have seen ineffably extraordinary things they pointed out, to avoid meltdown. "MAHHHMEEE, BWUE TWASH TAN!!!" Yeah bud, blue trash can, definitely saw it for sure!

A not insignificant portion of the emotional labor of being a woman (in relationships or the workplace) involves figuring out a way to give instructions that are a) clear enough to prevent confusion or mistakes but b) not so minute and specific that the recipient feels micromanaged or infantilized.

People keep talking about a Keith Urban and quite frankly I am tired of this administration's obsession with cancelation and gutting and defunding everything. Why must we ban the urs too

She was a girl with the patronage of Rosings Park and a keen interest in the environmental welfare of the shades of Pemberley and a chimney-piece that cost eight hundred pounds

"It's a very nice scab," said Mrs. Wisser, but she did not look as if she really thought it was nice.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

I rebuke everything about this
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.
