I also did my divorce pro se! Worst decision ever! I did one or two things wrong, got mocked by a bailiff? No, a docket person, man, I don’t know, had to leave the court to fix it, get another court date, do it all over...it was super demeaning and the docket person was totally power hungry and arrrrrrggggghhhh.

I have been away all day, but how in the world can this be *Bill’s* problem and especially ***Hillary’s*** problem?!!!? How can this be anything but Trump’s problem? Please to be explaining por favor.

It hasn’t happened to me in quite some time now that I’m a more blobbish-shaped middle aged woman of 42, rather than a svelte mid-20s to early-30s, where oh lord it seemed to happen constantly. Not only pussy-grabs, I mean those were fairly rare. But butt grabs, tit gropes, hip swipes, you name it. Super annoying!

Right. As a former election judge in IL, this is all true. Satire would likely count as well, especially for this election because election judges and poll watchers for this election are going to be on high alert.

I think he might lose supporters if he says something along the lines of that he’s pro-immigration for all Syrian refugees, let ‘em in no matter what, we have take care of people fleeing war-torn countries that have nowhere to go because someday, heaven forbid, that might be us, and we would want another country to…

Ill-ih-noy . I’ve lived in Chicago for 19 years now and that’s how I’ve always said it but what do I know. Seriously. I honestly don’t know a whole lot and I don’t have reason to say Ill-ih-noy a lot either. But that’s how I hear it and say it?

Considering there’s a bunch of ‘vote the Supreme Court, not the person’ talk going on on the Democratic side, I’m not surprised there’s talk like this on the Republican side. I’m so far away from being #Imwithher it’s not even funny, but for this race, I’m solidly 100% with her, yep. Supreme Court, baby.

My ex (we’re still friends, though this has no bearing on the story other than to say that this is a cute story not a snark story), thought that narwhales were a myth maybe five years ago until I told him they were not and to google them.

Reindeer are delicious. In 2014/2015 my husband and I spent three weeks in Scandinavia, culminating in a magical three day/four night stay in those glass igloos in Kakslauttanen: http://www.kakslauttanen.fi/en/

Personas are reaching the tech world now, you know. In our department, we had an entire meeting on writing our mobile apps for certain personas that our UX person created for us. I think for one of our apps (we create corporate apps, not games that you would download and play on your commute home, sorry), we were to…

I’m 42! :)

Okay but for real, last winter was not that bad. I never even put my snow tires on the car, that’s how not bad it was.

Right?!?? I don’t get out much, but I’m certain I know at least four people who home brew.

Chicago is pretty rad. Been here for 19 years and don’t want to leave.

Word.

I feel you. My suitemate, that same year you were listening to Live, was listening to Candlebox’s one album. Every day. I ask you, when was the last time YOU thought of Candlebox?

As a middle aged woman I can let you know that no tampons I’ve come across have ever exploded but your miles may vary? Question mark?

That is a tore up 43. Yikes.

My old, now deceased, cat who had kidney failure absolutely LOVED his fancy water fountain! Highly recommended A++++ would buy again. Not to hijack a hoarder thread, but if your cat has kidney failure or is starting to and needs to drink more water, a ceramic water fountain is absolutely the way to go. Cats love ‘em.…

My mom and I do that with my elderly aunt, whose house is neat as a pin but whose basement is something else entirely. When my mom comes to visit her spinster sister, they’ll go into the basement to look for things to give to me, since “I’m in need”. (I’m not in need.)
