If the bread is toasted, that it not the worst thing ever.

I’ve been on the letter writer’s end of this. My boyfriend is unemployed and he’s trying to make things happen but he really just doesn’t know what he wants out of life. I’m the sole breadwinner, but we live modestly and we get by. And he takes care of housework and stays home and keeps our pets company and cooks me…

Draw me like one of your French girls.

A young restaurateur died of “heart failure” in my city. As someone who has lived my whole life with addiction as that family secret we never talk about, I really question the anonymous part of AA. It makes it feel shameful and it isn’t. When someone says they don’t drink it gets really awkward and it would be so nice…

That definitely seems to be the case. Someone mentioned air conditioning and I’m guessing that’s a big factor. Northern schools can get away without air conditioning if they don’t start until September but southern schools can’t so they might as well start earlier.

I mean, live your life. If he’s hot and you both wanna, go hog wild.

1. Excellent story.

I left a comment on Shade Court that needs an answer. I need to know if my 3 year old daughter shaded another little girl.

I talked a couple weeks ago about my weight loss (92 pounds now... huzzah!) but I also lost something else just last week: my virginity. I’m 31 and had been practicing abstinence. I wasn’t saving myself and didn’t have any hang ups about sex apart from some body image issues, I just wasn’t interested in casual sex and…

Army brat here. I went to schools all over the US and I discovered that southern schools tend to start much earlier (like mid-August) than northern schools so they can start summer break earlier. June and July are no joke in those states. (I learned this particularly when we moved from Michigan with a full month left…

I didn’t mind Dawn. Also, I rewatched Buffy and Veronica Mars with my niece this summer. They both hold up really well.

I’m actually fine with all these suggestions. I also think they should be accompanied by more rigorous training, testing, and review. Cops put themselves in harm’s way, and they can harm others when things go wrong. If they’re held properly responsible to a high standard for the power that they wield, by both…

“On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. ‘Tis a silly place.”

The Taming of the Shrew has always been a favorite of mine. I find something new every time I read it. King Lear, also. Especially if you have a very outwardly bold, yet insecure father.

Haha, sorry! I will watch British “Monk.”

Much Ado About Nothing is a goddamn delight. I also love The Tempest and Julius Caesar. Yay for introvert weekends!!!

I’ve always been a Much Ado about Nothing fan. So cheeky!

Always a big event in one’s life! Congrats.

I think I’m gonna go (SIGH). He texting and guilting the shit out of me.

This is good advice. I would add that zinnias are great, and I love love hydrangeas. Send flowers! Give flowers for no reason! This is a good thing to do.
