There’s plenty to make fun of in Portland, but Portlandia

She cold have won by standing up to her gross husband. She chose not to, and there is no way I can understand, or excuse, that.

Wow. What a difference from the responses about James Deena.

Exactly.

I wanna be the old lady who comforts stranger's babies.

I’m not a rape fantasist. I’m a realist who understands that making judgments about people based on their fantasies (you know, those things they don’t actually do in real life), is not productive.

I’m very sorry for your experience, it obviously is a horrible thing. I don’t want you to change your mind, nor would I expect you to. That’s not my aim here, and I certainly don’t want to add to your bad experience, so I’m just going to drop it.

I think they're the same salad, it just depends where you're from.

I like it. It reminds me of my childhood. My Mom was a working mom when it wasn’t the norm and she was the Queen of making foods/sauces/veggies in bulk and loading the freezer. She wasn’t a fan of the molded salads, but plenty of Aunts were, so we got our fill at holidays.

I ducking love Watergate salad.

I’m over it as well. And I was absolutely sure you would accuse me of being a sockpuppet, but, believe it or not, people are not all in lockstep with their thinking. btw, I don’t know if its possible to access the archives this far back anymore, but I used to be a pretty regular poster (doublee), and I’ve had this…
