Aw Heather. I hope you can find your inner Amanda Woodward and pull through what you're going through.

Aw Heather. I hope you can find your inner Amanda Woodward and pull though this.

No, there's nothing preventing passengers from bringing peanut products on planes. As far as I know, certain airlines may have policies, but there are no laws are rules against it.

No, I'm with you. I think the dress is cute and structural and unusual. Plus, I like the color. But then again I probably have no taste, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

I think I love you for that 9 to 5 reference, although I feel ancient for knowing it.

Hearted right back! And I am SO WITH you on that Assclown Russell Pearce. Now if we could just get rid of Sheriff Joe and our fair Governor, we'd be in decent shape. I have a friend in Chicago that swears he thinks the state will go blue in the presidential election, but I don't think he knows how conservative it can…

Damn girl, that's veering into dealbreaker territory. You are a stronger woman than I.

Oh! I stupidly assumed you meant the Republic. Now I'm sad that MSNBC is full of them too. Sigh.

I think you need to be careful about stating planes are peanut free. True, they don't pass out peanuts anymore (more to costs than to allergies), but there is no way you can stop people connecting from all over from being peanut and nut free when they get on the aircraft. There are just too many variables.

A fellow lactose intolerant person raises a glass of soy milk in solidarity. Hear hear!

But... Ohio isn't in the south. /facepalm.

Brilliant with the boycotting of cookie sales. If I recall, most of your cookie sale money went right to the council, rather than the troops themselves. We would sell calendars and other things to raise money for our activities, because you got almost nothing from the cookies.

Exactly. I was a Northeast Ohio Girl Scout, and I remember several different types of camping in the same location. We would discuss and vote on which one we would use for our trips. Sometimes we would use the houses and sometimes the tents. It's a shame the council is limiting those options.

I should note that the comments pages of the Arizona Republic should not be read by people possessing logic. It will only make your head explode with frustration.

I have lived in Phoenix for 13 years now and the blatant racism still shocks me. There are definite liberal pockets, but they're small. The vast majority is very very very Republican.

Well said, and thank you for your work in AZ. Are you going to continue working in government or are you working at something equally awesome. People like you give me hope that our state will work itself out in its penchant to be assinine.

I did just that Effie. Thank you for the tip. It's a relief to do so, actually. It's our other friends who keep posting on it. I noticed yesterday when I was unsubscribing that his widow isn't a friend on the page anymore. Probably too painful, and I can't blame her. As for my other friend who passed away within the…

One of my favorites. Tastes like humans!

I do the same thing. I feel for you. It's so frustrating. Then yes, you get dismissed as being irrational.

Hmm. Like the asshole I dated in my senior year of college who used to say how irrational I was reacting to his suspect behavior. Never mind that he was cheating on me with everyone with an X chromosome. Not at all. It was ME.
