Don’t feel too badly. I once got one offering to teach me exercises to relieve my menstrual cramps.

Feel free to believe religious nonsense. But do the rest of the world a favor and keep it to yourself.

When I die, I want a bunch of Italian guys in dark suits and sunglass to walk up to my casket and say things like, 'Gonna miss ya, boss', so my family will think I had something big going on.

At work, a resident's telly was on Fox News, and one of the anchors was an obviously gay black man.
And I'm thinking, how fucking ignorant do you have to be to be a gay black man who is willfully working on Fox News?

My son is Alex but not short for Alexander...had he been a daughter, he'd have been Alex too.
My oldest ribs me because her name was the number one name in the year she was born. I try to remind her that we didn't have the Internet to track naming trends. When I had her in 1977, I didn't know of another Jennifer...then suddenly they were everywhere.
Kind of like the first name on the boy list - ‘Liam’ used to be a nickname for ‘William’.

I got a text this morning from a childhood friend of my son. I spent a lot of time providing him with a calm place to be when his parents were not being parents.
He wished me a happy Mother's Day and thanked me for being there for him when he was a kid....awwww. He's a fine young man now with a growing family of his own. It was unexpected and very appreciated to receive that message.
