Do not look at the wedding ring on my left hand and tell me that you understand how some girls (yes, girls) buy themselves fake engagement rings to bolster their self esteem or keep men from hitting on them and you're guessing that, in my case, it's probably the former. And then please don't offer to boost my…

My problems with Rachel Zoe:

@PilgrimSoul: And women like me are being punished by a bearded sky fairy for being whores.

Squeeze that pork. SQUEEEEEEEEZE IT!

My Republican in-laws are voting for Obama. My mother-in-law says that voting for the GOP ticket would be like voting for herself when she was 44, and "I was in no shape to lead the country. Who is she kidding?"

This is the same bogus "research" that the right uses to keep us from our slutty ways of sleeping around. "Oh, noes! Don't sleep with that guy, you'll release oxytocin and BOND WITH A BASTARD!!!"

Hmm. My interpretation was "girls shouldn't poop."

@Cesybabe: If McCain/Palin wins, I'll be railroading it to NZ, so you might get to help.

Equal pay for equal work.

Oh, man. I am shaking at my desk, trying not to lose it. I loved and hated that book so much.

@midwesternmom: @Brigit: Yeah. Someday, I'll tell you about the time my insurance denied the procedure because it was operative and I was "so young" and childless.*

You know how some women have preventative bilateral mastectomies because they have a high rate of breast cancer in their families? That's what I'd like to do with my ovaries.

@howdybeep (runs with monkey wrenches): (That black eye and broken rib happened well before I met the dude. And it never happened again.)

And I totally got that black eye that one time by walking into a door.

Low country Jezzies trooping off to the conventions, please don't forget, at high elevations, you get drunker faster and the hangover last longer. It's all about pacing yourselves and drinking way more water than you normally would.

@BytheSea: Because sometimes these "other people" are our husbands or partners who promised monogamy and then didn't follow through. And that shit gets judged.

@hortense: I missed all the talk of beheadings, but then again, I was wrapped up in rage for being too lazy to not be pretty. Link? My bile isn't high enough today.

@howdybeep (runs with monkey wrenches): (Of course, this is the same woman who describes herself as "upper middle class" without irony. Our combined salaries are 1/100th of what her husband brings in every year. She does not get to use the "middle" modifier as far as I'm concerned.)

@rmric0: My cousin — that delightful woman who didn't get my idea of a Roomba sled team as the answer to cleaning her 16,000 square foot house — was complaining that they could barely swing their lifestyle anymore and she was considering putting the London flat on the market and/or using coupons.

I am even worse, as I don't pull my ponytail all the way through the elastic and end up rocking the ugliest half bun the world has ever seen.
