Agree. I got ma’ammed not long ago. Weird.

Answer to shower question: He has a masseuse living in his bathroom?

I was responding more to the OP than to you, but I guess I hit a nerve. Your sarcasm and insults tell me more about your capacity for abuse than you realize. My point was that abuse can be passive. Neglect, anti-social behavior, etc., are also abuse. Nobody is “a perfect boyfriend,” and nobody is expected to be.

So you only pretend to care about a pet your wife loved deeply, but I bet you think you are a good husband. *sigh* Your wife deserves better. Maybe, in fact, your lack of empathy is the reason she misses her dog so much.

“I am the child of Ras Al Sinatra.”

If she had chosen Sanders, or another liberal as VP, she would have won. She pandered to what she saw as the undecided middle of the road, of which I’m saying there probably wasn’t any.

“They are also more likely to murder someone”

She lost because she pandered to the rust belt. She lost because her supporters stayed home. Nobody with GOP leanings was ever going to vote for her, and then she picked a conservative VP, which was basically an arrogant, nose-thumbing at her supporters, as if she could do whatever she wanted and they’d vote for her…

Or that undermining democracy herself by colluding with the DNC to be the Democratic candidate might cause some people’s disgust to prevent them from voting for her. Yeah, no. She’s no prize.

Dumping your depression on someone, refusing a social or sex life, letting yourself go completely to pot, etc.,  without making any effort IS abusive toward the other person when you’re in an intimate relationship.

And also, if she hadn’t left him, he would not have gotten his shit together, or not for awhile yet.

Really. Trying to craft him a story that blames her is not helping. She probably is/was worth his time and he knows it. He was at fault, even if he couldn’t help it/didn’t mean it. It’s not like she had enormous reserves of emotional energy to help him through his year of being horrible, drug-addicted, depressed and…

Bravo. Give me the pothead line cooks who want you to like your food!

I have fair skin and have been using sunscreen since I was a teen (and had sun damage). I *still* have precancerous spots on my nose and forehead. But at least nobody ever guesses my age correctly.

WTF are yeti pubes???

And Mick Jagger at that age couldn’t imagine singing rock and roll at 40. I give it a year, tops.

I can understand the problem with calls, but what is their problem with texting? As long as the notification tone isn’t blasting loud, I have no problem with people texting at another table while I’m eating. Not sure this writer actually IS a doctor. Probably just someone with a stupid what-if idea.

All the stars.

Agree. It could have been an Irish-French combination, as some early English accents sounded like modern Irish accents (of the south, especially) and there was a lot of French influence. The modern BBC English/Received Pronunciation accent was adopted by the elites partly not to sound like the Irish and the less posh…

I’ll wait for someone to post the clips online.
