@starfucker: I can't even watch that show because it's waaaayyy too close to home for me. That shit's not amusing when it's happening in your kitchen.

@Arachnophile: Yeah, I know it's a little too soon for tearful speeches and gushing appreciation for all of my sacrifices. Uphill. Both ways!

@Residentdrunkgirl: Nope. You have to study now. You are not even allowed to go get wine until 10:37. The longer you wait, the farther away wine gets.

@Residentdrunkgirl: You can have wine in two hours. It will be your reward.

@Imparfait: Designate an empty drawer as a hiding place?

@Residentdrunkgirl: You here for a kick in the ass? You have less than two weeks. You can't afford to take tonight off because you can't bear the regret of not passing and remembering this night. Suck it up. Just put in two solid hours and come back.

@ShaynaLK: I mean, one thing nice about it is that you usually don't know that someone is rejecting you at all. Much less why.

@KayKins: Yeah, you're right, I should take all neutral and honest communication from her as a blessing at this point.

@Arachnophile: It was you or him. You did what had to be done and I admire you for it.

@ShaynaLK: I wouldn't mind paying if anything good ever came out of any of them. So far, nothing amazing - free or paid. OKC is actually - to me - the best of all those I've tried.

@MiloMinderbender (will sell you shares of the syndicate.): Ok - partial victory. I just texted her to say thank you for making this easier for me this week and I appreciate it. Her response? "Ok."

@MakeFetch: If you have to ask, you already know the answer. (It's no, in case you weren't totally sure.)

Victory over the sister-in-law! I've already regaled you all with too many stories about my ungrateful, lazy, disrespectful SIL. She's only 19 with a 3 1/2 year old (my brother is the father) so the situation has some serious complicating factors. We had major throwdown last week and I told her that if she can't…

@rosie.the.riveter: I think the best reply there is, "nope."

@exchequer: "There are years that ask the questions and years that answer."

@la.donna.pietra: la roche posay [www.laroche-posay.us] It's expensive but I like the liquid.

@Tom.Cruise.Is.Weird: I saw that again last summer - I was 29! - and that shit is fucking terrifying. Not a children's movie. NOT.

@FlowbeeBryant: It's too long if you ignore the green lights. Once the light turns green, GO!

@feelingHELLAstabby: And those shitty, shitty IOUs aren't even transferable - you can only use them towards future taxes, right? Totally bogus.

@la.donna.pietra: I bought 4 tubes of lip gloss when I found out it was discontinued. But be careful because sunscreen does go bad and expire.
