Musician. He’s a frequent unannounced “special guest” around these parts. If I want to avoid him completely, I have to stop going to gigs, which I refuse to do.

Thanks. I just needed to put it out there into the world. I know what I need to do- avoid him as best I can. 

Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack and a Night at the Opera are the best of 70s Queen. Skip the 80s (though if you have to include one, go with The Game) and add 1991's Innuendo, which is spectacular.

Last Spring, I had one of those destined, magical, sparkly meetings with a man. But...he was inaccessible. It was a very LA story, you see. I saw him many times after this and it was always like that, a click, a big spark, lots of mutual staring and smiling but nothing else. I last saw him a few weeks ago and he’s…

My numbers weren’t “bad enough” and they initially didn’t want to give me any medication, even though my quality of life was nil. They told me to lose weight. I was 100 pounds overweight at the time, but I had felt just fine for awhile! I had known something was wrong for over a year, but knew it would be blamed on…

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 13 years ago. The most important thing you can do is take your medication correctly, which means with water a minimum of one hour before you injest anything else. Space out all supplements by a minimum of four hours (especially calcium). I would avoid soy because it is a goitrogen,…

Being sent away is much better than being around parents who resent you and aren’t capable of being parents. I WISH I had gone to boarding school. But women will always be judged harshly, no matter what they do or why they do it.

Leave The Family Stone out of this!

She has an entire book called “The Unspeakable” and nothing about the topics she covered were “unspeakable” to me.  It was tired. 

NIN?

I’m late to this party. Oh well.

I’m going to vote for “dumb.” 

Yes! I bought a couple of nice dresses from Ann Taylor about four years ago. That must have been the tail-end of them using high quality fabrics because it’s been full of utter crap ever since. 

That’s not a new thing.

I test drove a used Honda CR-Z a couple of years ago when I seriously thought about off-loading my 2011 Mazda2. Holy shiiiiiiiiit I felt like I was driving a coffin. The lack of visibility was terrifying and makes the view from this one look generous. (I still drive the Mazda2 and will continue to do so until it’s…

...I’ll be in my bunk.

This guy was in his 50s, divorced, with a 24 year old son. Yet, he went on and on about the kids thing. This was on Coffee Meets Bagel, so I politely told him we clearly weren’t compatible “based on the conversation we’re having” and unmatched, which blocked him.

Me too! I talked to some guy online last night who immediately asked me how may years I’d been single (14) and then had the nerve to ask me, “did it never occur to you to get married and have children?” Fuck OFF. (Oh right, it never once crossed my mind, as a woman of 39, to look for a man to be with!)

I’m the daughter of a birth mother. She gave up her child in the 1960s as a young adult, something she didn’t really want to do. I was told when I was a tween. In the infancy of the internet, she found her child, talked to him on the phone, and said child visited us when I was a young adult. The visit seemed to go…

We have...or had...a Trump Mobile here in my city too. In Los Angeles. It was one of those big-ass lifted jeeps flying an American flag and then covered in pro-Dump stickers. I haven’t seen it lately... There’s also the Trump House that’s owned by a Boomer artist. It was once covered in Dump campaign signs, but now…
