Comment on: 'Legal Sea Foods’
Why anyone would want to eat that dead thing he's holding in the photo is beyond me... more »

Comment on: Plum Island house demolished after being undermined by ocean
Jeepers, peopleâ¦this home was probably built 70 years ago (according to Zillow.com). Things were fine then. The governing bodies granted permission, the streets were already planned out and zoned. W more »

Comment on: 'John Edwards not named in wife Elizabeth's will'
He didn't value her, and her will reflected her recognition of that. I don't think she died a bitter woman, as some suggest. I think she died knowing what was what. She understood. He was the cause of more »

Comment on: Macy's to close Chestnut Hill store; begins clearance sale
I always disliked that store. It carried clothes that were ugly, and high-priced, and was both too small and too big. It just felt thrown together, and was poorly laid out, like the entire store was a more »

Comment on: 'The outlaw-in-law'
People get away with what they can get away with. This is true for both letter writers. I have found that in cases similar to the brother-in-law, they sometimes really don't know what to do or how to more »

Comment on: Romantic Ireland - The Boston Globe
"so readily cast aside its culture, shaped by poverty and oppressionâ¦" Gawd almight, who WOULDN'T want to leave that behind? Let's all get nostalgic for OTHER people, so they can go back to their ba more »

Comment on: Monday%20question%3A%20The%20meaning%20of%20a%20gift
What's breathtaking to me is how incredibly rude so many of the comments are toward the LW. Downright nasty. Possibly ageist. Suchâ¦cacklingâ¦from so many. I wonder, if this woman had said this dire more »

Comment on: 'Moving pains'
Apparently the commenter never heard of the phrase "If you can't say something nice, shh, say nothing." more »

Comment on: 'Yankee Swap sins?'
Alpine Yuzu - the Yankee Swap that I watched (but did not participate in) had a similar and unfortunately gender split. The guys all--and I mean all five of them--gave gift cards to the standard store more »

Comment on: 'Yankee Swap sins?'
I think the thing about the "less than $5" Swap items has more to do with the spirit and not the cheapness. Obviously cheap/crappy Swap items is kind of the non-verbal way of saying "F-you and your st more »

Comment on: Give me an... "ugh" - The Boston Globe
One wonders about the socialized sexuality at work here: women in very short skirts who don't make a lot of money prancing about in the cold having to be pretty and look happy and don't effect the out more »

Comment on: 'Michigan grandmother bags 5-point buck at age 76'
This is sad. An old woman who got to live her life, destroys a magnificent animal for what, so she could be the "cool" grandmother? more »

Comment on: Three Harvard students, one MIT student are Rhodes scholarship recipients
@traeyeball - the original title of this was something like "Four Massachusetts Students Win Rhodes Scholarships." In my mind that is clearly a reference to students FROM Massachusetts. You will note more »

Comment on: 'Fran Lebowitz talks —
To think that someone who doesn't care about or for the subject matter of the article expended energy to post a comment.
Have a nice day, @trendy.
If you can. more » -
Comment on: Three Harvard students, one MIT student are Rhodes scholarship recipients
Weird: none of the Harvard students, nor the MIT student, are FROM Massachusetts. Interesting how the emphasis is on schools in Massachusetts and not the two students from Massachusetts, as noted by t more »

Comment on: MFA practices the art of selling out - The Boston Globe
The MFA is a non-profit organization. It's money has to come from somewhere. And clearly "we" weren't supporting "our heritage" enough to meet its financial obligations. I don't care if the MFA's got more »

Comment on: 'A true story about a little boy'
Gays are horrible peopleâ¦until my son comes out of the closet. All Muslims are terroristsâ¦until one of them shovels me out because I've got a broken leg and can't do it myself. Stem cell use is ba more »

Comment on: 'Off with your shoes'
If someone came to me seeking advice on how to handle lunch with the boss, and came to me because this person thought I was older/wiser/someone to whom she could express her anxiety, I would not begin more »

Comment on: 'O'Donnell loses in Delaware, Rubio wins in Florida'
Nice to finally see the process work and weed out this nut job. The scary part is that she actually got this far. more »

Comment on: 'An ex gets engaged'
Respond to the ex in kind (a short text), and let it go.
I have male friends in my life, but no exes. That "old" relationship sometimes cannot withstand the onslaught of life, i.e., new relationships. more » -

Yay for intelligence and scholarship! more »

Comment on: 'Levine returns to action, conducting the Met’
People, if you don't like opera, if you don't "get" the musical virtuosity of Levine, why are you bothering to comment? more »
I have a similar gift problem, only the person is in the family of the person I'm with. The gifts are awful, and clearly cheap. It's like a passive-aggressive thing: she thinks she has to give me gift more »
