I want that dress so bad it hurts.

SNORT.

The response I got once to “I’m married” was “have you been married long?” I still don’t know what reply would have made him think he had an opening.

Have you noticed a difference when the kids are in tow, vs when they aren’t? I’m turning 40 this year, and I’m invisible when I’m out without my kids, but definitely get the unwanted attention when the kids aren’t around. Actually, I even used to get the unwanted attention when I was with a baby/toddler. Now,…

There were two guys at my old work who got waaaaay more interested in talking to me and hanging out around me and saying creepy ass things to me once I was showing in my first pregnancy. Things like “when MY wife was pregnant, we had some of the best sex ever.” Brrrrrr.

In part, quite probably. However, the responses I get to “I’m married” are usually “How married?” or “I don’t mind”, or “me too....” rather than a “sorry, didn’t notice the ring.”

I was also born in ‘75 (November) and the True Blue album blew my 10-year-old mind. My friend and I spent countless hours trying to make our necks do the thing hers does on the album cover. Papa Don’t Preach? La Isla Bonita? Open Your Heart?

Adding my voice to the throngs asking that the title be changed to something more like “her daughter’s bisexuality” or “that her daughter is dating a woman”, until there’s any solid evidence that KS identifies as gay.

Is it wrong that my kneejerk first thought was “I’d like to do one thing with Jodie Foster, nudge nudge, wink wink...”?

The Brothers In Arms cassette. Graceland. The Easy Rider soundtrack. And then my dad also got really into Tracy Chapman...

Glad to see someone else shared my rabid love for Mandy.

Maybe she’s not the best choice, but she’s not a bad choice, really. The Jayden Smith comparison is off the mark, in that he’s not an established actor and hasn’t played any serious roles to suggest he would have the chops to pull it off. Portman may not be everyone’s favourite, but she’s tackled some serious material…

Cosigned. The book lost most of its interest to me after the return to the castle following the wedding, and it was a struggle to make it to the end. I never bothered with any of the other books. But so far I’m still into the show, so I’m definitely into the series as an improvement over the book.

Wow, that’s a lot of immediate and dedicated transphobic trolling.

Step 1: Completely reinvent myself as a woman.

Oof. I’ve been at those weddings. Cringeworthy.

Heh! I told my parents about it when I got home and my dad was all “I don’t care who it is, anybody who comes into my bedroom while I’m having sex and pulls something like that is getting punched.”

I admit I laughed out loud when the minister made the “it doesn’t take three people to make a baby” comment.

When Dornan is asked to describe Johnson in three words and he says “funny ..... talented .... caring.” Like he is consciously thinking about words to describe his colleague that don’t involve her physical appearance or objectify her, that he considers true (and she is really funny).

I think possibly the moment when both of them act like they have no idea the books or the movie have sex in them (which now I can’t find). And when Johnson deadpans that Dornan needs a fluffer and the interviewer has no idea what that is.
