What Else What Else? This is a message for my husband: we need a cat. There’s a fat ass raccoon who camps out on our deck in the winter and we have two dogs. One of them is all big and bad when he’s downstairs, away from the raccoon. The minute he By Lainey • Nov 20, 2018 05:20 pm

I feel for parents at the grocery store when this happens – when their child throws themselves on the floor during a tantrum and the mom or dad is trying to deal with the shopping and the embarrassment and the kid screaming its head off.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Saoirse’s Governors white I love a slinky turtleneck dress. But it’s tricky. A turtleneck can pull. And depending on the material, all that pulling can look weird in the light. Saoirse Ronan’s is white. And despite some fit issues, which you can clearly see, it’s a strong look.
