I have a copy of “My Secret Life” on my Kindle.  I periodically read a few pages when I’m between books or just don’t feel like committing to anything.  It always gets tedious or I just get disgusted with Walter and I get motivated to go to the library.

Ooops apparently I was given incorrect info in high school (pre-google, harder to fact check.  Always just accepted it as fact for some reason). He did have an illegitimate child, which was not Ruth but a son that was adopted out to another family. This was while he was still a politician in Buffalo before the…

Oops I was confused! Ruth wasn’t the illegitimate child but he did have an illegitimate son that was adopted out to another family after he had the mother institutionalized.

Well, he raised her from age 11 after her father died so she was probably groomed for the position.

Grover Cleveland got married while in office but was single when elected (and fathered a baby out of wedlock. It was named Ruth and was the genesis of the Baby Ruth candy bar.)

I believe it was when Grover Cleveland creepily married a woman whom he’d basically raised since she was a child but I could be wrong.

Isn’t she nearly 30?

Yeah, I don’t get it.  I have no desire to see any of my friends’ boyfriends’ dicks and I’m sure the feeling is mutual.

Couldn’t you alsi just magic the shit and piss out of your bladder/colon directly and skip the mess?

The 17th and 18th century (at least in Europe) would be the grossest centuries to visit. Bathing (at least once or twice a week) was still pretty common in Europe until the Black Death but hit a low point in the 17th and 18th Century. Also people suddenly had access to sugarcane so teeth were way more disgusting than i…

I was pulling for Boaty McBoatface.

Last night I found myself hoping that Roger’s parents were anti-vaxxers and he’d just go ahead and catch smallpox or diphtheria or something.

That’s one of the only things I liked about the books better than the series. I’ll admit I didn’t read far enough to get to book Bonnet but I thought the book Blackjack was more of a fleshed out character than the cardboard cutout sadist he was in the series. At least in the book Blackjack had some good qualities in th…

It’s up there with the Song of Ice and Fire books on the list of overly long book series that I gave up on for the TV version because of too much rape. It’s strange that this is a list that I have with more than one entry.

My next door neighbor and I both got Talkboys that year. We used those things for years until they just plain wore out. I can’t remember any other gift I used that much to this day.

People are just dumb about disabilities. I got into an argument with someone on Facebook who was insisting that deaf people weren’t allowed to drive or ride motorcycles.

Trump is at least too incompetent to get anything meaningful done so I don’t think he’ll end up doing near so much damage as Dubya was able to.

I’m pretty sure all the problems in my life can be traced back to the moment my mom popped that particular VHS into the VCR.

Counterpoint: It will be well attended but only by raucous celebrants who just want to double-check that he’s actually dead.

I momentarily confused the term with “boss babe” and thought Lindsay had finally resorted to shilling R+F, Mary Kay, or some other god forsaken MLM.
