Your partner will make you want to throw up at some point. Pure, unadulterated disgust.

Look, Connect Four is not a good game. But it can be over quickly, which is pretty great.

It is hard to find any real numbers about how many people do "direct sales" or how much money they make. The web is full of either big promises or pissed-off former sellers. What I do know, from bazillions of friends and family, is that making much more than pocket money means selling like a real job. Yes, it might be more flexible, but there’s no magic formula.

If you kill a tortoise, even on accident, you probably shouldn’t have children.

I cried every single day of my life until I was 18 years old. I did not know this was abnormal.

After years in apartments that should have been condemned, even these sad restroom facilities were vast improvements. And so we stayed, the husband and I, vaguely embarrassed when guests stayed over and commented on the bordello vibe of the bathroom.

Then we had a kid. No working bathtub suddenly seemed like a big deal. And the functional bathroom spaces weren’t places you’d want to hang out. There’s a lot of bathroom time once you’ve got tiny humans. (You’ve been warned.)

Ray Nagin. Yes, the former New Orleans mayor who now has a criminal record. Let me explain.
