Cheers!

First of all, thank you for doing that work. I live in a small county and there are very few people locally who do commercial refrigeration work (and even less who fix commercial ovens), and we cannot run a restaurant without working fridges. It’s truly appreciated.

Never worked food service, hospitality, or entertainment, have ya? Yes, you are missing something, go talk to someone who has waited tables. 

I’m autistic so my guide is this:

My friends and I FINALLY re-instituted our semi annual clothing exchange party tonight, and while a move conservative (in clothes) friend tried on a light blue top with a very miniscule ruffle, she asked if it was too much, and then I told her about your article, the ridiculousness I’d seen on Rent the Runway and…

Honestly. This is so fucking stupid. The world is falling apart around us. Women in Afghanistan are about to be subject to a tirade of violence when the U.S. withdraws. The planet is burning alive. American democracy is on the verge of collapse. My city is filled with smoke. I can’t with this.

I mean, sure, but that seems like Allure flunked a test they hadn’t been told about. If someone tells me that they are fine being called Nicky and also Nicole, I wouldn’t find it to be a particularly fair criticism that I took them at their word in picking one of those options.

He’s a human being with family problems. Being royal didn’t insulate him from losing his mother or having a bad relationship with his father. Even if people can’t relate to him on an economical or social level, they might possibly relate to his familial issues.

I can’t believe I’m going to do this, but I’m finding myself, some 15 years after she died, really struggling with my mother’s death and all the trauma from growing up with abusive alcoholics of which my mother was NOT one. If I, a pretty together person for the most part, am barely hanging on, I cannot imagine what…

I will be using the line “kiss my ass and step on legos” for the rest of my natural born days.

It may or may not be true that something like this will make it more difficult for her to end her conservatorship. But if true, that is more an indictment of the judge overseeing her conservatorship, and of the entire conservatorship system in general, than anything else. Being “in full control of her emotions” is not…

I appreciate and sympathize with Spear’s feelings, but I hope her new lawyer tells her to knock that stuff off until she is out of that hellish conservatorship; because that is exactly the sort of thing the conservator’s lawyers can use to say that she is not in full control of her emotions and thus needs a…

but 3 meds at once seems like alot for a restart. How will you know which one worked, or if any of them are unnecessary?

Thank you. You're very kind :)

So, lately my depression has ramped...up?...down? Whatever. I had to see my doctor for a medical issue recently and they always make me fill out the depression scorecard sheet. Apparently my score caused her to enter the room and ask if I felt like I need to go to the hospital. I thought she meant for the medical…

Shelter Cat Update!

Two years with someone else's heart ticking away inside me.

I feel like Hoffman’s character/small role in “Scent of a Woman” was basically Bunny in boarding school.

You read my mind, Philip Seymore Hoffman would have made the best Bunny when he was the weak prep boy in Scent of a Woman.

Goldfinch is the only one I’ve read and I generally liked it though I cite it as an example of a book whose film adaptation is SO bad, so utterly awful (in spite of a great cast!) that it tarnished my opinion of the book.

I keep wanting to pick up Secret History and was warned that it does exactly as you mentioned -…
