Oh. You were being ironic. I am so literal.

Not if you need full camera access and unimpeded viewing for the studio audience that must witness every moment of you life!

Back when I was going out a lot more, I had a friend who was drop-dead beautiful. She was younger, taller, thinner than me and looked like a model. I was fine with the situation, and even found the whole men hitting on her and ignoring me funny. One night, it happened twice in a row, and both times, the guy would…

1. Go to a favorite recipe book or food blog and prepare an amazing meal for yourself. 2. I am not one for letting others "groom" me so: soak your feet and give yourself a pedicure.

I think there is a really big difference between alcoholism and alcohol abuse. When these 2 conditions are treated as 1, a lot of misunderstanding can result. My reading of the AA literature is that they are speaking to people who are alcoholic: literally people who have a genetic condition that leads to a physical…

Does it have to be a cocktail dress? In 1988, I was hitting the local club in my little midwestern college town in my roomate's middle eastern tunic and harem pants. My best clubbing friend and I bust it out to Terrence Trent D'Arby "Wishing Well" like we were channeling the life force. Five years later he came out to…

That is just awesome!! I am so happy she found her way to you. And I hope she gets to adopt you on a permanent basis.

I tend to have very intense vivid dreams——good and bad——when I am working through something important. The approach that I've found most helpful is to treat each person in the dream as a facet of yourself. Is there a relationship or issue happening in your life now, or that has recently happened, that is bringing up a…

I don't quite know how to put this, but the biggest boner killer for me is discovering I'm with a partner who feels entitled to sex. That sense of entitlement...it's poison to my lady boner. To be clear, I don't mean it's bad to express desire or want sex or feel sexual. I'm talking about the mentality of "I don't…

HA! Great post. It looks like Dorothy and Blanche are dancing to Dido. Thanks for that!

Love you for this.

I only have rock bottom expectations. It helps make life easier. Have a good week!

I ended up loving them all. Janice stole my heart. I just adore her. Claire reminded me of my younger, naiver, socially awkward self (although I never needed clarification on lip placement for the purposes of fellatio). I fell in love with Kenny, of course, and the scene where Carol Ann set him straight reciting…

Ooo! Thank you for the tip on the movie and the other series. I will check them out.

It sucks that you are going through this. I don't know what to say about what might help. Your experience is due to medical/surgical intervention. It is stressful and that likely contributes to the severity of your hot flashes. I am menopausal and hot flashes seem to be worse when my diet is too dependent on calories…

I'm not that familiar with it. I do know that any time I've thought I could go things alone, by my own wits and resources, I've ended up really missing out on a lot that eventually bit me in the ass later. I think the only people who might benefit from the "no college" movement would be those people who already have…

Hey posted in the wrong spot. I LOVED The Book Group on Netflix. Only 12 episodes. Originally aired on the BBC. It is sweet, unconventional. I loved how all the characters end up looking after each other, even through all their foibles. It gets uncomfortable at moments. The emotion is very raw. I love it.

Crap. Meant to reply below to a discussion about t.v. shows. Didn't find the right button. I am an old.

The Book Group on Netflix. It's a short series on Netflix, originally aired on BBC. Lovely, sweet, complex. I can't say enough good things. Doesn't follow the usual formula. I encourage sticking with it until the end, even through the uncomfortable parts. I love how the characters end up looking after each other, even…

Dear sweet logicfail,
