I maintain that Lady Gaga should always take a step back when it comes to Grace Jones. Lady Gaga is derivative and not particularly bold (I will give her props on the meat dress). Grace Jones has delivered avant garde performance for years. Lady Gaga falls on a timeline of performers Jones, Bjork, etc. but she really…

We’re not worthy.

Nope they don’t need baths as long at they are cleaning themselves. Our 8 year old cat has had 2. Once he had something sticky on his back in a place he could not reach. The first was when we adopted him and he had motor oil on him and we didn’t want him licking that off.

They are almost certainly fine. But if they ever kill a bird in a spectacular fashion, or fall into the toilet after you’ve let the yellow mellow, or come down with a case of fleas that won’t respond to the usual treatments, or refuse to back down from a skunk encounter, or get old and are too fat/arthritic to clean…

Yes, I spent a decade teaching special needs kids. I no longer feel I have the energy for it. Plus we already have two “regular” kids that have medical issues enough - to add another to my family when we all have health problems would be irresponsible. I’ve got a congenital heart defect and may not even have another…

Excellent. I am sure this thoughtful law will be followed by a large budget shift so that any infants with severe disabilities will be given full, free lifetime housing, round the clock nursing care and behavioral therapy of the highest quality.

As I pass him by, he always makes some comment to me about my apperance. It makes me uncomfortable enough to go a couple…

Hooooooooooooooolyyyyyyyyyyyyy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...

I loved his reaction e-mail and tweets. “I wanted to HELP YOU and your failing career. I can offer you twice as much as Buzzfeed.” “Wasn’t hitting on you anyway.” And then started demeaning her and her job. The communication kept getting angrier and angrier. She was outraged, but it was righteous outrage. His wasn’t.…

THIS IS WHY WOMEN ARE AFRAID OF MEN. We get messages from men who think they deserve our time and a response just because they have a boner. When we politely decline, they lose their shit. When we ignore them, they lose their shit. When we tell them we have a boyfriend, they lose their shit. And then all of a sudden,…

Echoes needs to stop taking relationship advice from Severus Snape.

YOU HAVE RESPONDED IN QUITE A GHOSTLY MANNER, MA’AM

More Sherman Alexie tweets, s’il vous plait.

I live for being leisurely. As should we all.
