Woo hoo! Congrats! I fucking love my truck., no apologies. I’ve had her for 2 years and I still love just seeing her when I walk outside. My next purchase will be a truck camper. I cannot wait.

Emily, thank you for your take on this, it is refreshing. I have worked in abortion care for almost 20 years and the NYT piece reads like underground anti-abortion trolling. The authors are overly-engaged in the comments section, agreeing with everyone who is criticizing the pro-choice/left movement. I also know…

Who is the “we”? Is it the lady who put her coat hanger button away for 45 years and just finally got it back out, frustrated she has to keep trying? Where was she in the 90s when clinics were being bombed, in 2009 when Dr. Tiller was assassinated by an anti-choice crazy IN CHURCH, or even in 2015 when another crazy…

It’s one of the side effects of Clintonism on the Democratic Party.

We’re turning into the Middle Ages because we were too stupid to realize established law isn’t enough to shut up all the misogynists who prevent us from taking care of our OWN bodies.

I agree 100% that those who fight for abortion rights became complacent. It’s why the gay marriage movement took its fight a different direction (that 14th amendment applies). We just stopped fighting and would point to Roe or Casey v Planned Parenthood instead. It’s a shame. We’re turning into the Middle Ages because…

Remember the cute video of Bo the dog inspecting the WH christmas decorations? That’s how you do a video christmas card. I assume it was by Pete Souza, that man is a genius photographer, and I’m glad he doesn’t work for Trump

Thank you! They are really good boys and get on like a house on fire. Mr.TARDIS’ best friend lives in a Denver suburb, so we will probably get in some skiing with his family and it will be nice to see the changes there as we haven’t visited in a handful of years. Celine is gone, which is a shame as I would’ve loved to…

Thank you! Milo is 5.5 months and let me tell you - Archie sleeps HEAVY when we come home from Grandma’s! There’s a lot of latent energy on that sofa.

Well done! Two birds, one stone + $5,000 raise - the rare employment trifecta!

I want to report that I have finally ended my friendship with the Trump-loving lady that I have been corresponding with for two years.

I love Wolf Blitzer and I love the turtle, but that is not a breaststroke.

That is so much of a good thing, Squirrelfran.

The comment policy encourages me to not just star other posts but to also post myself, so post I shall! I hope that everyone had a joyous and drama-free turkey day! I did my own makeup without any assistance for the first time this week and I think I did a damn good job; everyone at work said that it looked very…

I’m answering from beyond the grave because I JUST DIED.

I got my first car today... on the one hand it’s a little exciting, but on the other hand I finally caved and got one because I tore my meniscus and taking transit to work (and for everything else) suddenly became super difficult. The other shitty thing is, I got this particular car because it belonged to a family…

I had someone track down my work email after we met at a party. Monday morning I had an “it was great talking to you, wanna go do something sometime” email in my inbox. My cubical mate helped me craft an appropriately dismissive response. I didn’t want to be rude because we shared mutual friends. Anyway, the numbskull…

Were you accosted by dogs in sweaters? Or just horrified on principle?

Hm. I think those circumstances change my answer *a little* bit. The “I have feelings, she doesn’t” thing definitely muddies the waters — and under those circumstances, it’s best to avoid anything that can be construed as a “date.” ESPECIALLY if she’s seeing someone. I mean, office holiday parties are pretty much…

My vote is “that’s bullshit.” If her boyfriend actually was pissed, he needs to grow the fuck up. (Assuming you’re really really 100% just friends with this person, with no romantic interest on either side.) If she thinks this is a perfectly reasonable response from her bf and sufficient reason not to go ... well,…
