Can I join the club too? Pretty voices but SO PRETENTIOUS.

He makes me so tired. In part because for 20 years at least, my mother was in a narcissistic rage, mostly targeted at me, making accusations as baseless as Trumps wiretap claims. It’s like watching the whole nation go through my 1st 15 years of therapy ...

Oh I thought it was funny! Somehow Charlotte/Caroline are interchangeable for folks....

As a Charlotte who has been mistakenly called Caroline more times than I can count, I find this totally amusing!

But Pence keeps telling them there’s no link between smoking and cancer! Smoke on poor people whose health care we want to take away.

Because that is the CORRECT way to cut a pizza!

The Red Iguana in Salt Lake City has good queso — but not hot enough. Girlfriend came out from NYC (in the 90s) and thought it was SO HOT. I couldn’t taste any chile. Love my Irish childhood friend but um ....

Yes, you’re right. Mushrooming is VERY DANGEROUS and you should leave it to .... to ... to those of us who are *trained*

The pizza shops in Highwood (very Italian) also did the cracker crust. With delicious lumps of delicious sausage. Cut in squares. I hate deep dish, but do miss cracker crust pizza.

It was pretty clear that he was not all right in the head, but I’ve never forgotten it. I was a pretty sheltered kid in a lot of ways, and I’d never seen an adult just deliberately hurt someone like that.

My mom’s first job post-divorce in 1975? 76? was working for the Madison Blues minor league team — they were really young team, mostly guys who either hadn’t made the UW team or had graduated and not gotten picked up by someone bigger. Lots of fights. One night, one of our guys is knocked out on the ice and his glove…

I wound up not having kids — didn’t meet my Himself until I was 45 — and while it did make me sad for a while, it didn’t make me sad enough to run out an just have a kid with someone. I like kids, but I helped raise a lot of cousins and was a nanny — I was never under any illusions about how much time/energy/money…

It’s tough — I lost a sibling in a car wreck 13 years ago now (feels like yesterday), and I can actually understand why he wanted to play. The whole grief thing is performative anyhow — everyone watches you ALL THE FUCKING TIME, out of love, yes, but some of it is gawking too ... so if you can lose yourself for a…

Yeah, am I old? I was going to say ... um? it was complicated? she had a husband and 2 kids?

So much for that 50-state strategy. We’re working our asses off here in Montana for Rob Quist. He’s a terrific progressive candidate. If you’re out of state and want to help, we’re up against Big Money — but we’ve got momentum, and we have funner events than the GOP — April 18th the music folks across the state have…

Yes! It is true! I live with a RedSox fan, and we were both entirely amused.

Orioles framed the destroyed phone and gave it to him as a retirement present. Then he left it in Baltimore. Then they mailed it to him.

I was sick as a DOG with salmonella. Watched it from my bed, in my tenement apartment in NYC, while talking to my mom on the phone and trying to decide if it was worth spending the $$ to go to St. Vincents or whether they’d tell me to go home, keep hydrated and wait it out. I did the latter. That wedding was a…

SLUGGO — pelletized iron phosphate. It is your friend, as I discovered after my experiment with deep straw mulch led to me building not a vegetable garden, but the perfect slug habitat. (You can also bury little containers of beer, they crawl in and drown. Kind of a pain, but my chickens really liked beer-slugs).

I’ve pretty much given up flying for carbon footprint reasons, but between this situation and the guy United had dragged off the plane (plus TSA groping), I might just have to go back to driving.
