@Yarr!: Aha... Possibly? What are plastic party cups called in whatever non-American place you happen to be?

@hnkelley: Raid makes an all natural spray that claims to be effective against black widows. It certainly took out the brown widows we had around our house.

@fisheradam: I don't know what kind of parties you go to, but the standard college regulation red Solo cup in front of me holds 18 ounces, or just over two cups.

@morninggloria: I would wax so fucking romantic over a mortgage right now, you don't even know.

@Aquifel: I still maintain that my daughter would have thanked me for that prehensile tail.

@LionAndUnicorn: I went for creative writing because I knew I wanted to ultimately teach at the college level, but I'm not serious enough to do lit. And also that whole love of writing thing. :) I dug my program. (Graduated in May.) Possibly the most useful thing about it were the friendships and connections I made.

@Cytochromeo: It's one of those holidays that doesn't operate on the Gregorian calendar. [en.wikipedia.org] So Ramadan and Eid are steadily moving earlier and earlier in the year.

@detector.inspector: Same. It's probably something to do with how healthy she was when she last had redhair, and maybe the idea that she's getting back to who she really is. Or maybe it's just my love for redheads.

If the emails really are abusive, I don't recommend deleting. Document document document. Set the filter to label and archive them. But if they are threatening, and (god forbid) you do need to go to the cops or get a restraining order, you'll want those emails. You can archive them unread, but archive them, none the…

@bobella is owltastic!: Dude, that is creepy. But I had to cut my in-laws out of the sonogram picture loop, was when my father-in-law, who is a priest, used the freaking sonogram picture as a PROP in one of his sermons. Whole church saw the contents of my womb. I was fucking mortified. There was a reason we had only…

@okeydokeyartichokey: I second Xcaret. Tuluum is a nice little set of ruins. You're also within a bus ride to Chitzen Itza, which I highly reccommend. The ball court alone is amazing.

@StarHen: Oh wow. Love your stuff.

@vision-o-johanna: And Cristela Alonzo!

@vision-o-johanna: We quote this Maria Bamford bit all the damn time around here. And I'm linking the Avatar video someone did for it because I love Avatar and Toph is awesome.

@GunwallsLizzie: Ada Lovelace!

@Ann Veal: Happy happy theatre thoughts coming your way!!! Arcadia is such an awesome show! And I love Nemo. You be that fish! Just keep swimming!

@malted: "If all your friends' daughters jumped off a cliff, would you want me to do that, too?" =D My mom is on FB, she knows I'm on, but the whole friending issue hasn't come up. Thank god.

@Jorie Slodki: Agreed. I made an exception for one of my husband's aunts because she is awesome. What killed me was the other day Mr. Bubbles made a comment about FB to his grandmother and she said, "Well, I have one, but honestly! Who has the *time*?" It killed me dead trying not to crack up.

@MsInformed: "I can't bear to watch! ... So I won't."

@LilyBethTempest: That's what I was thinking. At 51, the odds of anyone your age or older getting your job are definitely low. And it's not like they threw her out on her birthday. Definitely taking the wrong route here.
