The Lottery gave me nightmares for years.

"They also called my anger "Upper West Side Manhattan anger" [Code for "she's a Jew!" -Ed.] that is not reflective of the rest of the country." — have they talked to the rest of the country? Cuz, I can tell you, a lot of us are pretty angry about Palin.
Remembering high school, I don't think I would have wanted to train or compete with guys. As just girls, we bonded so easily, so quickly, and we competed better because we competed as a team. The boys would totally have ruined that.
@KaliMama (Ganesha is my Om boy): True, that... perhaps, then, just focus on what tampons do - absorb blood.
I don't know *what* I would like to see - maybe some acknowledgment that periods do not rock or roll - they moan, whimper, and slink off to find chocolate, and perhaps something fried. At least mine do. Commercials, I feel, trivialize menstruating...
I recently referred to zygotes as parasites, and I got a lot of angry looks (from women) and a lot of loud guffaws and wide grins (from men). I'm so glad to hear that other women aren't obsessed with baby-love, because I for one cannot STAND children, and I don't understand why I'm expected to adore and desire them.
@Southpaw: hahaha! LOVE Go Fug Yourself!
any recommendations for Chicago?
Long hair, short hair - I'm black, and that's $80 every 6 weeks. If it's natural, then I'm paying $35 for a buzz cut every month. It's ridiculous.
@LucyRed: Good point... I don't really remember there ever being an open-toed boot in the first place.
Wait... the open-toed boot? W.T.F.
My Dad cried after us kids threw him a fantastic Father's Day last year. I spent the next few weeks thinking that I was an awful child because doing something *nice* had made him cry...
@Eeva: Pardon me, but... wtf is a cankle?
I try not to judge. Unless it's Christian rock. HATE Christian rock.
If the guy doesn't leave me alone after the initial "go away," I bring out the death stare. It's been in my family for generations, passed down on my mother's side. It's quite effective.
CW seems to have way too many shows about high school, college, 20-some young things. And while I may be a 20-some young thing myself, I prefer to watch shows featuring a more mature cast.
@Hamsterpants: Exterminate! Exterminate!
Did anyone else notice this: in the NYT article, Obama is referred to as "Mr. Obama" while Senator McCain gets the proper title. Race relations indeed.
