Everything is cancer. My doctor would diagnose me with something stupid (a mole, a cyst, an infection), and I would say, that’s great because I thought it was cancer. She was always horrified, like I was her only patient that did that.

Oh ugh. My mother did this while decorating the Christmas tree. She would completely reposition any ornament I put on the tree. And then after year of this, she complained that no one would help her decorate it. Also with the dishwasher. Now I just load it and then let her rearrange it to her heart’s content while…

Me too! And something will just pop up out of nowhere. Yesterday while walking my dogs I was cringing at something I said to my ex-sister-in-law 18 years ago. I think I actually said the f-word out loud. My dogs did not care.

I tried to read the Vulture review, but after the first paragraph, when he called WW “mouthy”, I wanted kick the author in the nuts. And I am not usually a violent person.

This has been my theory for a while now. These men really want to control OTHER men’s access to sex. It’s all about power and resource access. Chimps, not bonobos.

That is so hard. I am so sorry.

That is heartbreaking. I am so sorry.

I just play solitaire on my phone until they leave. I’ve got all day, ladies.

The thing I remember the most about this series is that the hero has an enormous dick, er, I mean manroot, and she is the only woman he has ever met who has a vagina long enough to encompass it. Oh, and she invented the bridle, the travois, domestication of animals, and the slingshot.

I voted for The Thorn Birds!

Starred for “manroot.” I assume it was proud.

Anne Rice was my favorite author when I was young. I stood in line for over an hour to get her to autograph The Witching Hour, then ran home to read it. I literally could not get through that damn book. I tried several times over the years, but I thought it was terrible. I ended up donating it to Goodwill. If…

I LOVE my Mirena IUD. No periods at all. Set it and forget it.

Agree. Making a 5th grader sign an oath regarding sexual conduct? That’s just creepy.

Hmmm, as if one were caught in a landslide....

Me too! I will always take every single hour off I have earned. I’m an old, and I have never once heard a manager say, “Oh, that Sally, she never takes vacation, I’m going to give her a promotion.” That is not the way to get ahead, it’s the way to burnout. A rested employee is a more productive and engaged…

I vote for show of dominance. My abusive ex used to hold my hand all the time, but he used it to “steer” me or yank me around to where he wanted me to be. (Also the hand in the back to shove me when I wasn’t moving fast enough for him.) And no one else knows it is going on; they just see a sweet, close couple. It…

Having no friends would be better than having that friend.

You get all my stars today.

I really like this response you wrote. Because losing a job is not “ruining a life.” Maybe this guy can’t continue getting paid to shill for Coke, but I bet he can actually get a job doing something that matters. Maybe even contribute something to the world instead of sitting around making shitty jokes about…
