I remember watching one of her first shows ... it may have actually been “The Spook Show,” her first, back in 1984 or so, on an old VHS my mother had of it.

She wasn’t funny. She was ... more than funny. She was ... interesting, weird, tragic, cool, insane ... only sometimes funny, but that was what made her…

Candida-filled cooze. That is DISGUSTING. I gave a little dry heave.

... I LOVE YOU and I’m going to find someone to say that about right NOW.

Thanks, because I´m watching Episode 2 now and I´m bored. It´s cute, but not awesome...

...I suppose largely because I never had the occasion to ask a man anything.

Ok, I can’t deny it any longer. I MUST watch this show!

Aw. I was kind of hoping it was a happy one. :) Like this one, which is possibly the most joyful I´ve ever seen:

Totally. My husband was the first man I´d met who just did not give a frick about bodily fluids, and it was so refreshing and so what I needed. (Don´t get me wrong, he´s not one of those dudes who is very INTO fluids, if you know what I mean.) But I had men reject me, hot and ready for a throw-down, because I was just…

Omigod, I am so incredibly sorry you had to hear that at such a time in your life! What an asshole thing to say! I was just jogging along the comments when your post made my mouth drop open and I had to say that.

I am not planning on having children, but my sister-in-law and brother desperately wanted a family. They…

I´m guessing the NAACP doesn´t have a more thorough vetting process because, given the current climate toward race in the US, why on Earth would a privileged white woman there pretend to be black and thus bring down upon herself the daily scrutiny and judgement of others? Is there a precedent for this?

She holds an…

Oh, totally. But they´ve had the park running safely for something like 10 years, and people have grown complacent and underestimate the predatory capabilities and intelligence of the animals (which is a big part of the plot, just like in the original).

As a person who wouldn´t get near stilettos for any reason, I am…

Just saw the movie, guys. She is not a lab worker or researcher, she is a high-level park administrator and marketing executive. She spends time monitoring guest activity in a shiny control room and chatting up potential investors and planning future park expansion.

Yeah, I agree. My first long-term boyfriend is the one who got all the awkward strange, and now when I think back on our time together, it´s all cringe-worthy stuff.

This worked out far better? Parents feel betrayed because a teacher took their children somewhere without asking their opinion, which as parents they have a right to give. Some of them found it so upsetting they pulled their children out of the school.

All that would have been required to avoid the school´s loss of…

Wow, your sex ed sounds great. I came into school one day and one of my students started telling me all about what they had learned at the masturbation class the day before (TMI, little dude. I ain´t even had my coffee yet.)

But you have to be aware when you are a teacher that certain things have to be handled…

You have a very good point, but we can´t arbitrarily decide that for them. We may not like certain parents for the ways they raise their children or the values they are teaching, but they are the parents. As such, they had a right to know.

Who knows? Some of them might have been ok with it and the field trip may have…

Readingcomprehensionfail clarified that statement above, which I think does a really good job of explaining that he/she absolutely did not mean that sex education should be limited:

I can´t imagine what they were thinking. Even IF they had an appropriate age group to go to the sex shop and IF they had gotten parent permission to do so (both of which they should have done before trying this), the idea that it was a group of such mixed ages makes me cringe as well.

An 11-year-old and a 16-year-old…

Seconded. I am a teacher and I do not want to experience anything like this with my 12-year-olds. My god. I am very sex positive as an individual, but as a teacher, I do not want to have anything to do with this part of their lives beyond providing factual information about medical things (or possibly emotional…

Oh, my god. I´m so sorry you´re going through this. I can´t imagine the shock.

I hope that you feel better soon and get some resolution, and whatever happens, this leads you to a happier place.

(I´m really worried about all the “not sure” “maybe” language I see. Are you sure you want to stay with someone who would…

Yeah, that was definitely a flaw in the show´s writing, which the actor playing Steve really disliked. David Eigenberg pointed out that in the scene where he first meets Miranda in the bar, he´s reading Great Expectations. His character was meant to be a very sharp, self-taught guy who was intelligent but lacked the…
