Yeah. I hear you, and I tend to agree, which is why she confuses me so damned much. I am not sure exactly why she is a Republican, because when she voices her opinions, she sounds more like a centrist Democrat. Her district is pretty deep blue and they elected her, twice, so there’s that. Maybe there are family…

Yep. I can say a bunch of words even words that rhyme with “grumpy” but the minute I say “grumpy” her ears perk up and she gives me side-eye. Sometimes, if she is really in a mood, she will snort and turn her head away. I have no idea why this is.

She looks very Ziggy Stardust/Grace Jones in the graphic.

Thanks. That is my favorite line in my favorite movie of all time!

At this point I don’t want to hear any of it, pro or anti Hillary OR Trump, while I am at work. I was trying to prepare a motion and was on a deadline, and OWD didn’t even have the decency to close the office door, which made it VERY difficult to concentrate. But the pro-Trump crap was that much worse because it made…

Oh and I was studying for the Feb. bar exam. So cold back home/warm in my tropical paradise!

I can relate. I am 48, live in NYC, and all of my friends are in NJ and CT. So hard to meet people that you connect with when you are pushing 50 and everyone your age already has enough friends.

It was perfect. Spent the days by the pool with my laptop doing the lectures/filling in the handouts. Husband was in the chair next to me chilling and swimming, so he didn’t feel left out. Study breaks were the occasional dip, then back at it. Nights were spent out with the Mr.

Hey Jezzies. Just need to vent for a quick second. I am an “independent contractor” attorney doing work for two solos. One is a retired judge who was with a firm for a while before recently deciding to go out on his own. The other is a woman about my age, who has been practicing for years. She is also a local…

I second Hawaii. Studied for my bar exam the last time I was there. It was the perfect combination of festive and peaceful.

What is your secret? I have been posting for years here. Was grey, then ungrey, then when Kinja took over, I was back to grey again.

Getting started on OITNB, hopefully this evening.

My pit isn’t too fearful of things, so much as situations, such as the vet. I am convinced that she fears that we will abandon her, as she checks on us every night before we go to bed, and again in the morning to make sure no one has snuck past her and left during the night. She sleeps near the door to our apartment.

Those eyes!!!! What a face. My last dog would, on occasion, fart (startling herself) and then turn around and bark at her own ass.

Wait, is McCain trying to compare emails (which had already been investigated) to allegations of collusion between a presidential candidate and a hostile government during a campaign?

He must not be very good at it, since he doesn’t look very happy. I feel sorry for his wife.

I have heard that Jason Alexander is a really nice guy.

Same, but more because his personality is one that radiates world-class dick, than because he didn’t want to hug some stranger.

I feel for you. Frozen shoulder with a partial rotator cuff tear. Sudden movements in the wrong direction feel like a bajillion razor blades to my shoulder. Tuesday I find out if I need surgery. But surgery or PT, I am looking at a few months of recovery.

Lots of people who were supposedly “Trump’s friends” probably wouldn’t want shit to do with him now.
