I think I won more money at Churchill Downs a month ago...actually lost most of it at the Belmont today. My online account went from $210 to $73 so I am not happy but not exactly suicidal either. Never bet more than you can stand to lose is my motto.

I subscribe to VF but haven't received mine yet, which is par for the course. But I'm from Texas, where nobody cares what Europeans think anyway! I do think they are kind of cute in a forlorn way when I see the black-clad hordes of zem zat show up for SXSW...I want to tell them, yes, it is only March but you should…

No, you aren't. As your lawyer, I recommend you keep records of his attempts to contact you for future use in a restraining order. DO NOT be nice or placating in any way. Hit the IGNORE button.

My favorite Victorian lesbian thing I ever heard was from my mother (who knows if this is true) who told me that when Queen Victoria was told of some anti-sodomy law being considered in parliament and asked whether she thought it should apply to women as well as men, she said that was not necessary because *women…

I turned 55 yesterday and can actually remember seeing Nancy in her miniskirt and boots on every variety show in the 60's. Also, I lost $140 betting on horses online today (the races were at the Belmont racetrack in NY) and now I'm consoling myself with a really nice crisp sauvignon blanc. Also, my sister texted me…

I thought you looked and sounded great on the Bell show but honestly, how dare you go on TV and have an .... Opinion...! Some of the menz are bound to get nervous when a vagina owner dares to express a dreaded ... Opinion. Esp. concerning humor, which those certain menz wish to own as their (perhaps I should say…

My cat was getting fat and depressed being alone all day. I got her a kitten a couple of years ago and she immediately lot weight and became so much happier. Cats are very social animals, although you couldn't tell it because ... aloofness. Mine are also forbidden to go on kitchen counters and tables, but I often…

I totally agreed with you until a couple of years ago...I had a cat who loved going outside more than anything. He would get fat and bored and miserable in the house...he was neutered and I honestly think he was incapable of killing birds. He would just sit and look at them - a real birdwatcher. I also thought he…

My sister took it in the 80's for adult-onset acne and I don't think she had any ill effects. She subsequently had 2 kids who are now grown and fantastic young men.

Where are you and how do we get some of this?

Mine died 20 years ago in October; it was a long time before I quit fuming at all the Mother's Day displays in stores. Since I don't have kids it's a non-event for me.

Maya Rudolph is totally gorgeous and funny.

Just had fun reading this whole thread. As a Texan who grew up elsewhere in the South and moved here as a teenager (I'm a liberal Austinite), it really is amazing how Texas considers itself above it all. Never mind that it's subject to Voting Rights Act scrutiny (a former Confederate state that had just as much Jim…

Hahahahaha....well said.

Go to your primary care physician and ask for a prescription for Ambien — actually, just get the generic equivalent, zolpidem, as a 30-day supply is only about $14.oo nowadays. Then take one at about 11 PM, along with a nice vodka and zero calorie Sobe water cocktail. You will be asleep at 11:30. Works every time.

I think her daughter is.

Gosh, I remember the feminist battles of the 70's, when we only dared to hope for something in the general vicinity of equality....hooray for the gays (and allies, including me) for getting this particular train barreling down the tracks! It means more liberation for us all.

Amen, Bob. Amen.

That is the best picture ever. I want to print out a big one and frame it for Easter. And lo! he suffered the little dinosaurs to come unto him...

Ever heard of a continent called Africa? http://www.who.int/hiv/topics/malecircumcision/en/
