She looks like Wonder Woman from the neck up. Which is awesome.

I was just going to suggest ADD! Did Jez run this article on this topic this week?

I hope you get your quiet time! With the beverage of your choice.

I feel for you spaghetti. I'm quite a few years older than you but depression has been my lifelong companion, too. I like to think it makes us thoughtful and interesting with a quick, private wit. How about you?

Ask her to tell you stories- the ones she hasn't told you. My grandmother got up to some antics with the soldiers during WWII. She never told us this stuff before.

Depression, if that what you are suffering from, is shit. But it can pass with a little help. The help is out there but you have to be alive to get it. I've been actively suicidal several times in my life, the thing that always got me through was the thought of what I might miss- Harry Potter books, the next Ilona…

Cats are tricksy. With all that ammo, McGruff the Crime Cat could have taken over Texas and successfully seceded.

It sounds like you did everything right. Keep doing that (if you have the opportunities). Don't be discouraged. You can't help it if racists are good at hiding it until they feel comfortable or are surrounded by like-minded others.

My 93 y.o. Grandma broke a hip this summer and since it happened, her dementia has been through the roof. It is so hard to babysit her. She resents absolutely everything I say- cuz' I'm about 12 in her head. But, she wants to take the stairs to the basement at 2 a.m. and you have to forcibly restrain her. She wants to…

Like others, I lost my old account during one of the upheavals. I liked that one because it really dated me. I was lolacat from before the fame of lolcats. And my avatar was Ciarin Hinds as Julius Caesar. Then I had a couple of burners- went quiet for over a year- and got stuck with this account I made to discuss a…

True Dat. Didn't even occur to me that the pot farm guy was actually selling it. Woodsy Owl is very disapproving.

A little O/T- but, after reading the Oakland Raiderette's article and finding out that team mascot/characters make between 30K-50K, I'm wondering how much McGruff makes to afford an Infiniti and 9K of ammunition (That stuff is expensive).

Ugh. Not that I had any lingering questions, but this answered what I had. Ugh.

This is the third article I've read about this reality show contestant and all I have to say is... how much money did she win? Is she planning on staying this weight or will she ease up now that she's won? Do we freak out over Matthew McConahey (sp?) or Christian Bale dropping a ton of weight for a role in a movie.…

Gwyneth Paltrow reminds me of my older sister who squints for all photos so her frown lines don't show.

I can only assume photo shoot. Bey would have her carpet tucked under the baseboards.

Wait.What? Colin Firth. Don't do that to me.

These are beautiful. Scarlett looks about 21 and Kate Winslet looks like a badass.

I've always found him to be a man who loves the women in his life which means he may be a clumsy feminist but a genuine one.

I've found his later works generally more thoughtful and less reliant upon caricature (i.e, Carrie's mom). I'm thinking about Full Dark, No Stars where two of the stories (that I am recalling) are female driven and driven pretty damn well.
