Somebody needs to tell him that bigger numbers don’t equal flattening. And also, he should quit lying. 

The name made me spit wine all over my keyboard. True confession: so of course I googled it and that really is the name of a cognitive test !!!!!!

Oh, that’s a LOT different from what I meant. Sorry! and keep up the hard work of recovery. All I ever had to quit was smoking cigarettes and that was bad enough.

I once had a client who was a family court judge, and a friend who was an advocate for victims of domestic violence. They both told me that roughly 75 to 80 percent of cases they saw involved substance(s) abuse. So go ahead and demonize substance abuse, which is different from use. My friend told me she wanted to say…

Birds of a feather, you know. 

But Tom Cruise has always just sucked.

I hope this good behavior crap means the end “reality” TV. I can’t stand that shit. Except for the Osbournes. In my view reality TV began and ended with the Osbournes.  

I hated the first one, which also needed an editor who was actually awake and doing their job. 

Huge slog, hated it, didn’t finish. I was even looking at the goldfinch not long ago, thinking it had to be better than the first one, but it doesn’t sound like it.

I hated this book. I didn’t finish it, stopped reading after she spelt out the gay relationship between the professor and one of the clique members. This detail was something even the least attentive reader would have figured out just fine on their own and about 100 pages before the ’splainer.

Well, this kind of made my day. I sort of hate being glad somebody is sick, but I am. Couldn’t have happened to a better homewrecker. That’s all.

Me too. What does she have to lose?

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but I bet she burned it the day Epstein went to jail, if not way way before.

Oh FFS I was so looking forward to reading this! Damn. Who is the judge, how much were they paid, and by whom, to do such a despicable thing?

I love this. Good luck to you, sir.

I emerged from the greys only very recently after years of approved comments. If ever got any responses to approved comments I would (almost) always go in and start them, especially since they were often among the more thoughtful comments. Anyway, I still have just the slightest idea of how one gets out of the greys.

Yes!!! But we will have to wait until she’s old enough. I want Joe Kennedy III to be her VP. 

Yes, I am old enough to remember when there was such a thing as a good republican. People with whom one could disagree with but still have a coherent and respectful discussion, totally free of personal attacks. Really, when I think about 20-somethings and that they have only known the freaks that currently rule that…

Me too-it makes me kind of sorry that I never had kids. But I doubt I could raise anybody this cool, so there’s that.

No, most of them did not seem to know that it’s a reenactment of the scene from the Breakfast Club or recognize the music, pop culture ignoramuses that typical republicans are. I think they were just freaked out because she is so smart, charismatic, young, cool, not to mention good looking and in-shape (not to be…
