  1. My hubby! (I remarried after Jon-Erik passed.) He's adorable & single. Chews gum like a cow's cud during games, though.
  2. Former New York Post gossip columnist Liz Smith, who won her own A-list status with her witty chronicling of the glitterati, died of natural causes on Sunday, her literary agent, Joni Evans, said. She was 94. An affable blonde known for pealing laughter, Smith wrote a column that celebrated her famous friends, from Tom Hanks to Liza Minnelli to Madonna, and was read around the world for more than a quarter-century. Despite her towering reputation, Smith held a lighthearted opinion of herself. “We mustn’t take ourselves too seriously in this world of gossip,” she said in 1987. “When you look at it realistically, what I do is pretty insignificant. Still, I’m having a lot of fun.” Born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1923, Smith graduated from the University of Texas in 1949 with a degree in journalism and, a year later, moved to the Big Apple. For nearly 30 years, Smith bounced from job to job — publicist for singer Kaye Ballard; assistant to Mike Wallace and “Candid Camera” creator Allen Funt; ghostwriter for Igor Cassini’s Cholly Knickerbocker gossip column. Smith ultimately wrote for nine New York newspapers and dozens of magazines, but it was a stint writing for Cosmopolitan that led to her big break. While establishing herself as an authority on Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Smith attracted the attention of the New York Daily News. She started her own column at the tabloid in 1976 — and a gossip star was born. By the 1990s, she began a syndicated daily column that ran in Newsday and the New York Post. The column, which was reprinted across the country and abroad, reportedly earned her more than $1 million a year. Her scoops included Donald Trump’s 1990 split from first wife, Ivana. Later, in The Post, she supported her celebrity friends, including backing Billy Bob Thornton after word got out that he and Angelina Jolie had gotten married and exchanged necklaces adorned with vials of each other’s blood. Smith’s 2000 memoir, “Natural Blonde,” in which she admitted she was bisexual despite having married two men, was a best seller. In an interview with The New York Times this past July, Smith revealed that she was having trouble moving after suffering a minor stroke. “I can’t walk. I can’t talk as well as I used to, but I’m relatively healthy otherwise,” she explained. She also responded to criticism that she was a little too friendly with the celebrities she covered. “I needed access to people,” she said. “And you’re not supposed to seek access. You’re just supposed to be pure and you go to the person you’re writing about and you write the truth. Nobody can do it totally.” “But everybody gives up something to be able to do a job, a demanding job,” she added. “And being a reporter is a demanding, dangerous job. It may be glamorous or put you in harm’s way. I gave up being considered ethical and acceptable, for a while.”
  3. Oh, who the hell cares already? If you don’t want to be sexually harassed or assaulted, don’t go into show business or politics, or associate with anyone in those fields. It’s the victims’ faults— if they’d gone into proper vocations, or associated with decent folk, none of these pesky little dramas would be coming at us like locusts to the pharaoh.

  5. Dear Amy: I am a 31-year-old mom. My two daughters are seven and five. When we go to the beach, I always wear a thong or G-string bottom. My daughters have started to scrunch their bathing suit bottoms so their suits look like mine. When we were shopping for new suits, my 7-year-old asked for a thong or G-string suit, just like the ones I wear. She could not find one in the girls’ department, and was very disappointed. My mother suggested that I buy a regular suit and take it to a seamstress and have it altered. I don’t know if it’s appropriate for a 7-year-old to wear a thong or G-string bathing suit bottom. What do you think? — Wondering Mom Dear Mom: A good and basic rule to remember (in this and all things) is: If you’re wondering if something is appropriate, then it probably isn’t. This applies to behavior and bathing suits. The reason your daughters couldn’t find a thong or G-string bathing suit bottom in the girls’ department is because in this culture thongs and G-strings are considered “sexy,” and thus not suitable for children. Children should be dressed in ways that make it comfortable for them to swim and play. They are not mini-adults, and are not old enough to understand the sort of objectification that often accompanies the suit that you choose to wear. And while I agree that this objectification is wrong, you should protect your daughters from it while they are young. Dear White Trash: It's not enough that you're a tramp, you have to turn your daughters into tramps, too?

Dear White Trash: It's not enough that you're a tramp, you have to turn your daughters into tramps, too? Dear Amy: My husband, his parents and his sister rotate hosting duties for Thanksgiving every year. It’s our turn. My husband and I decided to do something different this year. We did not want to worry about cooking or cleaning up, so we reserved (and paid for) a private Thanksgiving Day dinner at a popular steakhouse. We had no expectation of anyone paying for their meal; we only hoped it would be a good time. My husband mentioned the restaurant plan to his mother, and she immediately said that they would not be participating. She wants a “traditional” Thanksgiving, and said we were “lazy” for hosting at a restaurant. She also told my sister-in-law that we must have money to waste, and is trying to convince her to host Thanksgiving herself, instead of coming to the restaurant with us. My sister-in-law is trying to make everyone happy, and hasn’t committed to anything yet. My mother-in-law has dug in and refuses to even discuss the topic with us anymore. I am hurt by this reaction. However, I do not feel we should change our plans because of her, or just give in, when our intention was to do something nice. What should we do? — Wondering Dear Wondering: You need to realize that it’s possible that if you announced to your mother-in-law that you were hosting at your home but would be serving lobster instead of traditional turkey, she might have a problem. Many people have a specific vision of what this holiday is supposed to be about, and her vision seems to be one of you, laboring over a roasting pan, basting a turkey. But if it’s your turn and whether you want to host this at a steakhouse, a Chinese restaurant or at the Tim Hortons on the highway, then your family should give it a try. I’m not sure why Americans are so dug in about this particular meal; families can gather and bicker in many different dining environments. (You could also probably achieve your basic goals by having this meal catered at your home.) If your sister-in-law wants to give in to her mother’s manipulations and host a Thanksgiving dinner instead of you, then that’s on her. You’ll have to then decide whether to attend, or eat your lonely steakhouse meal. If you decide to attend her meal, then be gracious and grateful. No sulking allowed. Dear Wondering: Who the @#!& has Thanksgiving at a steakhouse? You couldn't find a Dennys in the area? Your MIL's right about one thing-- you must have money to waste-- send some to samhexum; he could use it, and would be very thankful.
  8. Bonnie's boyfriend had tickets to a Warriors game and tells her, "Steph Curry is a famous basketball player." She answers, "Yeah, I know who she is."

  10. I'm surprised nobody answered "Only beer."
  11. Are you talking about IKEA or your local bathhouse?
  12. What exactly is he coaching you to do that he is so overtired? Maybe you should give him a break. Or is it a woman? And why the hell haven't you mastered the process in 15 years? We've heard. http://indiemusic.co/files/2013/02/00-Cheap-Women-CVR-FINAL.jpg
  13. DEAR ABBY: I need your help. Over the past few weeks, I have been vacationing at my mother-in-law's home. The other day I was browsing on her computer and accidentally opened her browsing history. It turns out that she regularly looks at and responds to Craigslist personals. I was shocked when I read some of the perverted requests she has responded to. The language she used would make a sailor blush. Keep in mind, my mother-in-law is a married woman. I don't know how to react. Should I tell my wife? Keep it to myself? Make a fake Craigslist post and catch her in the act? -- KINKS IN THE FAMILY DEAR KINKS: If you disclose this to your wife, it could damage her relationship with her mother. If she tells her mother what you found, it will create a breach in the family. If you trap the woman by creating a fake Craigslist post and she realizes she has been made a fool of, it will not -- to put it mildly -- endear you to her. Let it lie. DEAR KINKS: Tell your MIL to participate in the M4M forums. She'll meet all the kinky pervs she wants, all in a safe environment.
  14. When I ordered from Peapod, I was completely incapacitated by back spasms. I rolled my shopping cart over to the door & out into the hallway, & asked the guy to put everything into the cart so I could use it as a walker and get it over to my kitchen. I don't know what the company policy is about drivers bringing things inside for you. It probably depends on the individual.

  16. WTF is a '4 pc heat gun kit'?
  17. I assume you mean the supermarkets' carts, not shoppers' personal carts.
  18. Depends on what he's asking for...
  19. You can buy them anywhere... costco, BJs Wholesale Club, Lowe's, Target, online, etc. $25-$35 ish, unless you get something fancy.
  20. Why don't you buy a shopping cart?
  21. Utah football posts phallic photo on Instagram while trying to honor veterans http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3626632.1510446773!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/lq6rwxcovjcynrtnji9a.jpg This is too close of a look under the armour. Utah football tried to post a simple photo to their Instagram story honoring those who have served our country this Veterans Day while at the same time promoting Under Armour gear. But that’s just the tip of the story. The black and white photo, which features a grey camo filter, showed the silhouette of a football player putting his gloves on, but at first glance it looks like he is exposing himself. Utah football hasn’t said anything about the advertising boner, but the photo is no longer in their Instagram story.
  22. Billy Capshaw was 17 years old when he met Dahmer and was first abused by him. "Jeff Dahmer was a sociopath, a psychopath, a narcissist — he was insane," Capshaw told TheWrap. "I loved him so much." He said he waited until his father's death to share his story because it was "too embarrassing, and I didn't want my dad to know I was into that stuff." Capshaw and Dahmer were "roommates" in the military, TheWrap reported. Capshaw said that Dahmer tortured, beat, and tied him to the bed many times of the two years they spent living together. He controlled the only key to their room, would lock Capshaw inside, and intercepted mail from his family. Capshaw said he tried repeatedly to escape the room through the window or fire escape, but was always returned to Dahmer. He alleges that others were aware of the abuse he suffered. Capshaw described reaching the depths of despair. "I thought about killing him, and I thought about killing myself." Capshaw told TheWrap. Dahmer was eventually discharged from the military for his alcohol abuse. He returned to Ohio and in 1987, began his killing spree, targeting victims at gay bars. An escaped victim led cops to Dahmer's apartment where they found skulls, human hearts and other body parts, which led to Dahmer's arrest. By that point he had claimed 17 lives. Dahmer pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 16 terms of life imprisonment in 1992, because at that point, the death penalty was not an option in the state of Wisconsin. He was bludgeoned to death by a fellow inmate in November 1994. Davis said he didn't immediately know of his abuser's death. "I didn't find out about his death until years later," he said. "I was living under a rock at the time. The only thing I can say is karma, like myself, is a bitch ... I don't consider myself a victim. I'm a survivor of a broken heart," he told TheWrap.
