I am sorry this happens to you. I joke that my family is so white we are clear. I have some of these bigots in my family. It is excrutiating to hear this from people I was not able to answer back to. As a kid I writhed when they opened their mouths. Interesting thing, though, my uncle who was the worst, worked in…

You win Hero of the Day! Too sick to out people but this is great.

Rozca, when you're done, can I have my soapbox back?

Yep! for what it's worth, I got so mad at a creepy, bullying doctor, I stomped out of the exam room into the the reception area and yelled out, "You are fired! And don't bother sending me the bill!" The look on his face was worth it. The receptionists' expression was telling. I could see she'd wanted to say that…

Preach it!

I have not heard that term in years, You made my cat jump up and hiss because because I burst out laughing so hard! Can I come to your next meeting as your token Jewish friend? (BTW-we call it JPT-every synagogue service that says it starts at 9, everyone dribbles in around 10/10:30)

Well, you are acommon, ordinary uneducated and unchristian christian. FYI:

THE BEST MUSIC, ART AND LITERATURE people! Oscar Wilde! Molly Ivins! JimmY Hendrix! Mark Twain! Eleanor Roosevelt and Janis Joplin! Freddy Mercury and Johnnie Cash! All those great abortion providers and suffagists! Of course all of us evil Jews (Einstein, Marx Bros, oh hell, Hollywood), heathen Moslems,…

How do u join?

The first time the TSA guy told me I had to take off my belt after I'd taken off my shoes, I told him,"Usually a guy buys a girl dinner or takes her out before he asks her to take off anymore clothes." He thought it was funny. Seriously, it is not hard to do but people are such dolts.

Rebecca Rose, I was sure we raised you you better than this ! ( Said in cool, upper class British voice). Surely the appropriate course would be to serve both. With ice cream of course. And whipped cream and lemon curd.

I am on my. 4th westie, Mac. Everyone of these have been rescued from a shelter.

I just wrote a letter to the Texas Chambers of Commerce in Austin telling them that I had turned down jobs in Texas because of these laws. I think everyone who feels this way should write them. Sometimes the business interests are more responsive than politicians.

It's unbelievable what asshats some people are. I am constantly amazed they don't poison themselves with their own spit.

I lived in this book as a lonely kid. My parents divorced and we left Southern California and its beaches to move to Washington, DC burbs in February. Cold, dark and gray it matched my mood. I discovered the Jim Kjelgard and Walter Farley's books-Big Red, The Black Stallion. I'm sure I am not the only lonely kid…

Maybe we should write the Texas Chamber of Commerce and let them know what this stance is doing to their state. I have turned down assignments as a travelling nurse to go to Texas because of this stuff. I think they only hurt themselves by aligning with these pols.

"You need to move on", or what are you complaining about, blah, blah, blah...Yeah, I know what you mean

Love the Catch-22 reference in your name

I think giving kids some moves to teach them how to defend themselves is more helpful. A friend of my daughter was picked on constantly becauses she wore hand me down clothes. One of the girls picking on her was very tall and proud about it . This bully bragged repeatedly about being tall. I told my daughter's…

I would not take a child that young to an adult movie. I agree, though, that context and discussion are important. I taught my kids early on to be critical consumers of media. When aspects of a film bothered me, for instance, the scenes of female helplessness in monster movies, I would introduce the idea that this…
