Every time someone mentions "toxins", I ask which ones. Haven't gotten an answer yet. Oil pulling, vaccines, juice cleanses...Ignored every time.

I just realized why these episodes make me so anxious—I did some contract work with a woman who was only slightly less crazy that Amy, but has the same cadence and attitude. Eesh.

Man, some lady introduced me to her friend as a "magical creature", and I had to be all "And I'm smart, too!" because fuck that noise. Like, c'mon lady, that which you think I am magical for is actually many years of hard work. Don't dismiss that.

When did you graduate?

LOVE seeing the hometown rivalries.. I'm from T-town, too, but I went to a private school for HS and I don't want to doxx myself. I swam for Stadium, though. :p

Man, I love smoked salmon, but only hot smoked. I think it's a regional thing - my friends on the east coast love lox, but my friends in the PNW (where I grew up) are all about the hot smoked. Probably it's related to the fact the Native Americans in the PNW were all about hot smoking... History!

Oh my god, I did not realize that was the whole thing! #fridaynight

WE DID IT

The problem with the good looking tortured jerks is that they're never that interesting. They invest all their time and energy into being hot and unhappy and it just bores me to tears. I switched over to conventionally unattractive funny men, and now I'm with a "grew into his looks" soft spoken nerd who takes his damn…

Alas, he was her first bf. (She is extremely cautious of her heart, so naturally, the first guy is also The Guy and also a Troy.) I have lots of Opinions on him and on what she should do next, but I suspect she's getting enough of that from everyone else, so I'm keeping my mouth shut and providing support.

My friend just got dumped (for the second time in six months! by the same person!) by a Troy. It doesn't matter if you have enough money to buy a house; if you all do is shit on your partner's parade, you're a Troy and utterly worthless to me.

Wool is magical. Along with wearing well, resisting smell, and being biodegradable, did you know that it is naturally antibacterial, flame-resistant, and can carry up to 1/3 of its weight in water and still insulate?

If your goatee is as fucking gorgeous as her beard, then damn. Rock the fuck outta that.

There is a pretty great Kander and Ebb musical about the Scottsboro Boys that did off-Broadway and LA. I worked at one of the theatres that put it up and it was shocking to me how many people of all ages had no idea who they were. It's got some problematic parts, but the music is great and the presentation is…

I am so glad my family had just enough money that we were fed, clothed, and housed, and were just poor enough that frugality and importance of a budget were impressed upon me from toddlerhood.

If you can handle it in your budget, you might try farmer's market veggies. They tend to taste a hell of a lot better than grocery store vegetables, and I like trying things I haven't seen before, especially if they're unexpected colors. See: heirloom tomatoes, purple carrots. I also found this head of kale (I know,…
