Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of February 12, 2023

By David Himmel

• To all the girls who told me I was too skinny to date seriously, I present you this question: How comfortable are you on airplanes next to your beefy husbands? Because my skinny ass has plenty of room and the beefy boys next to me appreciate it, too.

• Traveling for work is a great way to make your family appreciate you. Even if it is just because your adult partner missed the extra hands to help with the kids and the dog.

• The sign of a good Chicago neighborhood is not the property value or the level of crime, but whether neighbors shovel more than just the sidewalk in front of their house.

• I’ve written about breakups before. But if you really want to understand the depths of heartbreak, read Don Hall’s tale of tragedy. Puts things in perspective.

• The latest news about Fox News hosts knowingly peddling the bullshit about voter fraud may feel like vindication for HuffPost readers, it’s not going to change the minds of Fox News fans.

• Minnie Mouse is really just Mickey in drag.
