That's funny. For years I was like, quit whining, Tone, she's not that bad. Then I realized my own family was not normal, and so not a good basis for comparison.

Nice nip, Tzippurah. Not that it'll take. Also, appropriated. Lulz. They were just sitting there, minding their own business, when suddenly!

Why would you travel to a country you hate? That's very odd.

Not really. It's exactly like it sounds.

Rahm?

I second that. I don't even like Dunham, and I want to read this now.

I've been dealing with pretty bad MS for over 25 years now, and have seen a lot of stuff come and go. My policy is kitchen sink: I'll try anything, as long as it isn't too painful, expensive, or ridiculous. This weds out a good 95 percent of therapies, both alternative and otherwise. Everything else? If it works, I'm…

Gimper's Paradise, that's all she was now...

But this is all nonsense. People are depressed and anxious, and they want food that will make them feel better, however temporarily=carbs and fat. Ate lunch with a 300 pound man today who went off on a rant against sprouts. We're not a well people, and much as I detest the food industry, it's not entirely their fault.

as someone who has been on both sides of this tragic equation, i tell you: walk away. junkies know full well they're junkies. when she is ready to detox, let her know you love and will help. it's just too hard to catch a falling safe.

I feel for the Southerners. Am from Cali, but moved to Israel when I was 10; there is nothing that gets you pegged as dumb anywhere in Europe as an American accent. Worked like a fiend to drop mine, so that by the time I was 12, everyone assumed I was a native. No one puts Baby in the dunce corner.

Just to play DA for a moment, what if abortion were legal, but consequences had to be faced, like, say, having to do a crash course on fetal development and birth control, then doing a year's community service in a day care facility? I know a lot of women who have had abortions, nice safe legal ones, and not one of…

Yolanda, had a similar experience. A prof in my major gave me my only C, because he gave all women C's-I shudder to think what it stood for-and it was adorable because he was geigh, and aren't we all so tolerant of these geigh eccentricities.
Asshole is asshole. I don't care what your sex or race or orientation is. I…

Would be interested in your takes on an alternative to hugging. I'm a born hugger, and do it appropriately and with sensitivity...but it's a bitch to pull off from a wheelchair. You either bonk heads, throw someone's back out, or the huggee winds up in your lap. So how to convey serious affection/empathy/condolence in…

this happens to a lot of really decent people who don't deserve it. i'm sorry.

oh, god, thank you, thank you for that last. i'm in a wheelchair, and loathe it when people give me the self-satisfied 'you go,plucky lil crippled girl' speech at the gym—and then feel like the most uncharitable sort of cunt. but you just made it all better, lindy. WE ARE LEGION!
