I tried to comment on this the day you posted it, but got Kinja'd and could not make any comments on Sploid at all. I just wanted to thank you for your words. New Year's Day was also the 3 month anniversary of my brother's death, and your comment has been, by far, one of the most comforting things I've read since his…

Albacom.net, right? And they all start with 78? I just blocked everything from 78.4.1.1 to 78.7.255.255. That batch had me honestly wondering if it would do any good to use the abuse contact.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I lost my little brother to suicide in October, and it's one of those things— there's just nothing for it. I've gone through a couple bottles of wine myself.

Seriously- when I was in HS I remember they would tell you how many days each quarter you could not dress and still get an A, so I would just take that many days off from PE every quarter no matter what.

The Nerdy Mr and I call it "clutching my pearls," mostly for the giggles it invokes when other people use our euphemism in its more traditional sense.

To paraphrase Spider Robinson: Nikola Tesla was a lifelong virgin and the most meaningful relationship in his life was with a pigeon.

Right? I don't think he was even making minimum wage off of us terrible feminazis.

Amen. I was on GT for over a year before I got posting privs. If this is even halfway true, this dude is just bragging that he has no life and he tried to take advantage of a group of folks who try to be kind to each other.

No offense taken. And I should reread Marx. It's been like 10 years.

You take jobs for exposure to get noticed by a team like Oprah's. She's got that level of exposure and doesn't need them as much as they need her. This is sad, sad, sad.

D'aww, thanks. I've been going by it for a long time, more elsewhere than here. My significant other and I do video production as The Nerdy Duo, so I adopted this name for separate things, but to still be connected to that body of work.

Some days that totally happens. But I do love my scrub tops.

What a good dog he is! And I love his name! (though I admit to bias here, having a rescue pup named Cheddar who I sometimes ask "Who's so queso?") He's very lucky to have such loving humans to embrace him, foibles and all.

The no pocket thing drives The Nerdy Mr nuts, because I'm not big on carrying a bag. So if he hands me his wallet or phone or something, I'm still carrying it in my hand 20-30 minutes later. I started wearing tailored scrub tops just to have some damn pockets.

Considering there are a few statisticians who lump everyone after the Boomers together as Millennials, maybe they are.

Thank you for pointing out that the students requested it. That's the kind of detail that gets easily overlooked.

Let's all take a moment to remember how Comcast practices no throttling. It's about as well as they practice kind and compassionate customer service.

And that's why eBay is successful. (I did check: Stinkor's $5 if you don't care about the box. $80 or so if you do.)

I learned it from BoingBoing's great article last summer about Stinkor. Apparently, the Stinkors out in the wild still stink to this day.

Or you just like patchouli.
