Yes for ‘end of life’ plans that involve women friends living adjacent (I really need my own space!!!) and our pups!

How terrible that some lucky people go through life without complex health issues, and others have to carry these burdens for decades and decades. I admire your strength for having survived this long and can only wish things had been different for you. And that your future offers you and others who suffer some much…

<3 Yes! 

Thanks for asking. Tonight I am making one of my fav “cold” (it’s 80 degrees here) weather recipes, chicken chili. It’s seasoned with chili powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon. Also, the sauce is composed of very cooked down onions and garlic with jalapeno pepper in tomatoes. This is one of the most…

Had to look this up-there really IS a ‘Channel Islands UC’. Why have I never before heard of this campus?  Must visit soon!

Best comment on the internet today! Peterman Catalogue—we had it good back then. Oh for those happy untroubled years when DtRump was a NY joke and forgettable social climber.

Incredibly disturbing, I couldn’t finish the article. Another concrete and recent example of what can happen in closed societies. 

Well I feel much better now, knowing the dilator comes in pink-or is that lavender?

Shit, how horrible! I went to high school with a man who later developed and died before age 50 from melanoma. Tragically, he left behind a wife and two young children. But sometimes I still think about that huge scar on his back from when the surgeons tried to remove all the malignant cells. That gaping scar was at…

Great advice!!

As others mentioned above, I remember the way back in the past era when we actively worked on skin tanning and tan cultivation. Now I am enjoying life in a more enlighten era, so I embrace hats (I frequently work outside) and sunscreen. However, even for an “old”, the skin on my hands, neck, and legs is hyper-aged,…

How nice for you that all the above info provides evidence for your very justified feelings of validation. How much harder is it for the mature student, the student who goes to grad school while also responsible for being a spouse and a mother? And yet, you persevered and kept on ‘keeping on’ despite delays and…

Once, in one of my 3rd year Russian classes, I was daydreaming as usual but was roused at the sound of my classmates erupting in laughter. It turns out my professor, the beloved Margaret Gibson had stuck her tongue out at one of my more insufferable classmates. It happens; people in high positions react when their…

Oops. Try ‘Bodyguard’ by the same writer (Jed Mercurio) on Netflix. Line of Duty is streamed on AcornTV and also on Amazon. Cheers! https://deadline.com/2019/06/jed-mercurio-bodyguard-banff-1202630532/

Tried to go back and edit previous remark but was too late. So I wanted to add, not trying to tell you what to do, only joining in with commiseration. My frustration with job and colleagues of lengthy duration really peaked last week so possibly I’m feeling a bit of what you feel, and that was the whole point and…

I am also pissed off, most recently at the highest level so that one of my colleagues (condescendingly) suggested I go to the gym last week. He was way out of line, but I’m thinking he makes a good point. Honestly, nobody gives a fuck what I think or is really very interested in my opinion, so why flog a dead horse?…

Yes, I love the way they look but prefer to spend the money on annuals and seeds. WAY too expensive!

Hello from another hanger-on type from the long ago. I think I started reading Gawker in year 2007 and later moved on exclusively to Jezebel. I remember how crowded those Saturday Night threads were, with the pages filling, refreshing, filling to near bursting. I was FurrierAndIves back in those days-would still be if…

I mostly stream shows from the UK or watch PBS, but I enjoyed that show on Netflix. It’s a highly expensive service, but they offer great programming once or twice a year: the most recent season of Line of Duty, for example. Also, Mindhunter.

Purely based on the expression on that face, I assumed it was a mock-up?
