Typo! “Kick up your heels.”

Edited because I’m just over being in the grey. I should look up my original Jezebel “commenter audition” post. That’s how long I’ve been a Jezebel reader. Pretty much over it at this point.

Also, why, since I’ve been on Jezebel for FOREVER am I perpetually in the grey. Is it because I’m old? Is it because I never got starred in the original commenting system? I mean, I fucking AUDITIONED to be allowed to comment, remember those days? Yup. Bitter here.

Lovers on the Bridge was so wonderful, I’m eager to see this, though I too am sick and tired of the plight of the stand up comedian.

I watched the first season, but I haven’t started the new season. It started to drive me crazy toward the end, although it did end on an interesting plot point. I’m watching so many shows right now!

“You’re in a cult, call your dad” made me very happy. I’m glad I’m not the only fan of Karen and Georgia around here.

My ex-father-in-law could not microwave a bowl of pre made chili that his wife put in the fridge all ready to put in the microwave. He could not boil water. He could not make a sandwich. Or, I mean, he was such an asshole that he expected to be waited on hand and foot.

Drumpf was the original name of that family when they came from Germany, so it’s why everyone uses that one. I guess they thought they were anglicizing it when they changed it to its current iteration. Gawd I can’t even write the T name.

That’s what I see too, the victim of abuse. She says and does what she needs to do to survive in that horrible relationship. Yes, she’s said and done some awful things, but the more I learn about Drumpf and his ties to the Russian mob, and how Ivana (his first wife) lived in fear for her life from the Russian mob, the

Not to mention that snoozefest Mozart In the Jungle, which they keep advertising on Twitter for season THREE. I had fun with the first season, but I have yet to get through season two and now we’re supposed to get excited about season three. Good Girls Revolt is not perfect, but it really deserves more than one season.

Glitter was actually fun, until my friends and I got kicked out for talking back to the screen too much. The people around us weren’t as amused as we were and wanted to watch it seriously. We couldn’t help ourselves, it was just too bad. The theater actually called the cops on us because we were so rowdy. I still

Yep. My 4 year old asked us to call her Jessica, then Molly, then Bionic Bunny. She uses her given name now. She also decided at 4 that she hated being girly. Now she’s girly again. Kids are exploring the world, and it’s fun to watch them do so.

My kid had lice a few years ago, pretty sure it was from the after school program where the kids sat on a couch together reading from the same book. The nurses at the pediatrician’s office told us about a treatment using Cetaphil cleanser. We figured it was worth a shot, and it worked. You basically slather the kids

I didn’t actually see them doing anything outrageous, did I blink? I saw some dudes go into what looked like a bathroom, then get in a taxi, then some far off footage of them getting on the ground while someone loomed over them with a gun. Where was the fight?

Exactly! My husband and I came from families that tried to instill in us a disdain for popular culture, and of course it had the opposite effect. We made a conscious decision not to do that to our kid, not to poo-poo the stuff she and her friends enjoy. We also made a conscious decision to TALK about what we see in

I am tripping on how hard she’s gripping his arm, as if to say “You’re not getting away from me, EVER!”

Ha, this is fun. Nope.

Nope, but close.

I have a fairly common first and middle name combo, especially if you’re Irish or Catholic. I go by a nickname, so when I met my husband he had no idea. On about our third sleepover at my place I showed him some pictures of me from high school in a scrapbook, and my graduation invitation showed my full name. He

Too ripe for me, I would put it in the freezer (after peeling) for later use in yummy banana bread. Banana bread exists to use all the over ripe bananas. I like a tiny tinge of green in my banana.
