When your sense of yourself includes disdain for your own voters, you’re pretty much done. We didn’t despise her nearly as much as she despised us. Picking a conservative VP, e.g. All she had to do to win was pick Bernie as VP. Her arrogance, her belief that she had it in the bag — she screwed up and we all lost.

He actually gave her good advice but she ignored it. She tried to court conservatives, who will always hate her. He told her to campaign among working people.

I agree. She lost because she didn’t have the vision to be the president we wanted and she stole the nomination from the guy who did. Calling a livable minimum wage and affordable healthcare “ponies” was an utter disgrace, as bad as the “superpredators” comment.

Yeah, people with drugs always have someone to hit them up for drugs/money/a place to crash. They also have people who rob their place when they’re not home, borrow their car and crash it, call them in the middle of the night/work day for bail money, a lift to court, etc. If you want a group to hang out with, join a…

It sounds like she suffered from paranoia and/or extreme insecurity, and also that even her husband might not have known how bad her situation was. This is so hard, when people are so fearful/ashamed that they don’t even let on to those closest to them. How can you help them, then?

I agree totally. I never met Kate Spade or followed her in the news. I own one of her totes. That’s it. Yet, her suicide affects even me. The thought that she, successful, with a seemingly perfect life, could want out — why? Because the thought of her marriage breaking up, something that happens to all of us, was too…

Certainly among those whose parents let them spend all their time in front of screens.

Or, he hasn’t realized that even after “meeting the basic requirements,” you still have to go out and socialize, meet people and make connections. It’s like just having straight As in school doesn’t guarantee you a great career. You actually have to go out, ace the interview and then do the job.

And get realistic. Most of these guys think they deserve the particular woman they want, whether it’s an unfortunate teen girl they later murder for her refusal or Rihanna/someone equally gorgeous. Nobody deserves anyone in particular. You have to connect and it has to be mutual. If it’s not mutual, keep looking. In…

He also played the scary bad guy in a Star Trek movie.

You win the internet.

It’s a much bigger country down here.

I had a Vitamin D test and my levels were really low, inadequate. I started taking Vit D, and I feel a bit more energetic. But it’s really magnesium deficiency that affects me. Intense foot cramps that disturb sleep if I don’t take it.

It’s even easier if you ring up organic produce as conventional and less chance of being caught.

When you’re falling, dive.

You can make parachutes out of square paper napkins by opening them up and twisting all the corners together. Then grab them by the knot and flip them up to fill with air. You can also attach a tiny figurine to the parachute if it’s light enough. 8/

Pizza? Pizza is NOT a sandwich.

Add a slice or two on top afterward, as well, because the cheese sauce alone will be too thin.

You need scoff medicine.

Whew! So glad to hear this.
