Thanks for the tips! I was at an estate sale this weekend that had 3 lovely mink coats for sale. They wanted $400 each for them, which I thought was a little steep. I live in Michigan, so I think I would have lots of cold weather, just not sure if I will get hassled if I wear it.

I have run across quite a few mink coats at Goodwill. I try them all on and then don’t buy them because I think, where the hell am I gonna wear a mink coat?

Do you have a photo of Roddy McDowell’s penis? Asking for a friend.

Yes yes yes! My favorite book about abuse (Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft) says that most cultures contain men that abuse women. Men in one culture may disagree with the tactics men in another culture uses, but it is ultimately all about power and control.

Yes! The recipes are unnecessarily complicated, the results were usually bland, and I kept getting the same things every week. I stopped after 3 deliveries, and then I was like, how am I going to get rid of all this packaging? It was a lot.

Absolutely! I boycotted Hobby Lobby for years, and was so excited to finally move to a town that actually has one so I can not shop there. I will go 15 miles out of my way to Michael’s.

Oh thank god. I was feeling a little uncouth with my Dove for Sensitive Skin being the only product that ever goes down there.

Ooh, thanks for the recommendations. I somehow can’t imagine Jeanne Moreau and Nell Carter together, although I love them both. Gotta check that out!

I joined the film club in college, and an entire semester was devoted to Francois Truffaut. I was absolutely smitten with Mme. Moreau in Jules and Jim. Couldn’t even tell you who the male leads were without looking them up. She was amazing.

Perfect response is perfect.

And I bet he blames her

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on that.

“Gotta go grab me a testicle, Ma! I’m startin’ ta bleed!”

The dinosaurs were actually tiny. Cute, baby dinosaurs.

In my experience (consisting solely of my racist, homophobic, Fox News watching family), the “Northeast” refers to where any liberals they don’t like live. I think it’s a metaphorical place that doesn’t actually exist, like “nirvana”, “easy street”, or “Gary, Indiana.”

I am sure they are only concerned for your health. :/

That is so sad for you both. I hope she got away from him and you patched things up. I remember a cheerleader who was dating a football player in my high school would have bruises on her face because he was beating her. Nobody said anything about it. He later went to jail for murdering some guy outside a bar. Abusers

It is wonderful that this girl has you in her life! She will hopefully DTMF and only go out with boys who treat her with respect. This is a lesson that all young women need to learn - what true love looks and feels like. I spent 25 years in an emotionally abusive marriage. It took me 2 years of therapy to realize

Needs more stars

That’s it! Knew it looked like someone who was not Bey
