And cheap and easy to get to from London.

I have four piercings in each ear, and they all hurt more than getting my navel pierced! Yes to needle piercing as opposed to gun piercing, and maybe take a pain reliever beforehand if you have a low pain threshold.

My tattoos are down my spine, and the same pain reliever advice applies.

Her book Stiff, about cadavers, is fascinating as well.

She looks scarily like Ivana Trump does now. YE GODS.

- I tend bar at one of the big venues downtown, and Harry performed there a few months ago. The security set up around the theatre was as unbelievably tight af, and I’ve been in Ben Gurion Airport in Israel.
- Scotsmen sometimes do wear something underneath their kilts, which was described to me as resembling a…

So: I used to work for an organization of a religion that rhymes with Feepiscopal, and I worked for the Feepiscopal Diocese of (the big city in the middle with the Cubs and great pizza). This diocese is one of the largest in North America and is considered to be fairly influential. Just after I started working there,…

I’ll post the whole story tonight after I get home from a play, but let’s just get your interest up by saying that when a religion devoted to social justice and progressive thinking screws its employees to pay a muckety-muck, the repercussion last for a looong time.

A really good actor.

Or it’s a prop doggo.

I remember, some years ago when I was buying a wedding gift for a friend, that I should consider what she would like to have in her home after she and her intended ended up in an inevitable divorce. It was one of those situations where YOU JUST KNEW that the marriage wouldn’t work out. Unfortunately, I was right.

She dated Tate Donovan before she got together with Brad.

Any more details you can share without repercussions?

Costco is great about returning unopened beer/wine. I had bought too much for a work event, and my boss said to just take it back to Costco. I didn’t believe such a thing was possible, but sure enough, armed with my receipt, it all worked out (and the Costco staff was fantastic, btw).

I had a lovely conversation with a cashier at a Jewel (Chicago grocery store chain), and here’s what she said customers have tried to return to her:

- What had been a large slab of meat with the meat cut out, and all the marbling/fat left on the styrofoam carton. Customer said, “she wasn’t going to eat the fat”.
- What…

Question: She got married last year (and was on Say Yes to the Dress getting all kinds of attention for her wedding). She was going by Manigault-Newman for a while - what happened?

I think Season 2 flashbacks of how Perry and Celeste (Nicole Kidman) met and got together would be fascinating. The entire team handled the domestic violence aspect of the storyline so very well that I imagine they could show how the two fell for each other, and how and when the abuse entered the relationship.

Yep. The worst here was the monster heat wave in 1995, when over 700 people died from heat-related causes. Granted, the heat was ridiculous - a high of 106F, the second-highest temperature in the city since temperature recording began - but the majority of deaths occurred because many poor and elderly couldn’t afford…

Thank you; I really appreciate your good words. It’s one thing to have a broken heart; it’s another thing completely to be given a measure of hope that we might be able to resuscitate our friendship, then be treated like I don’t matter.
