None in Illinois.

For a little perspective, I visited Cleveland earlier this year and saw their Soldier and Sailors Monument. It’s a monument to the soldiers and sailors of the Union side during the Civil War. It occurred to me at the time that I’d seen many a confederate memorial/statue/monument but had never, that I could recall,…

Am giving.

Ok, Durham, put aside everything else—did you really want to take this statue down the legal way, with lots of time for neo-Nazis to gather in your liberal community in the south and kill someone on your watch? Come on, you know this statue is coming down. This woman did you a favor as did everyone else who…

You (the woman who is considering answering this) are wondering if you should spend your eclipse having sex with a racist man for purposes of baby making? First, he’s a racist, let’s just settle on that. If you are still game and wondering about your decision? Well, if you’re lucky lining his penis up with the sun…

Even better some other newspapers are now saying that he “ran into” her. Looks like he shoved her, but sure. We can make it sound accidental.

That’s a nice swimsuit, and I will punch any manjack who says different (my great Uncle used to say manjack, feels appropriate here).

Yeah, $14 is no where near enough. So that’s to the good.

Here’s what I notice (btw, don’t live in and have never lived in SF, full disclosure). A private oval street in SF is only taxed $14 a year? I live in Chicago and I pay more than $100 a year for the privilege of parking my car on Chicago streets (and an extra $25 a year because my neighborhood PUBLIC street is parking…

What kind of coffee shop? Starbucks type? Or like a diner coffee shop?

Generally if I’m at the bar I pay as I go and tip in cash. If I’m at a table, I run a tab. I’ve never both run a tab AND tipped in cash at the bar. I have tipped in cash at the table but I write CASH on the tip line. She may have tipped in cash at the table—but that means a server showed the receipt JUST to be shitty?…

Nah—you tip, even for crappy service. You tip better for good service, sure. But tipping is no longer an option because most waitstaff make some pathetic amount without tips.

Dear God! What? Where? Tell me so I can never drive there.

Some oil change places don’t do tires so depending on where she goes I’d say they might not care much about tires. I take my car to a guy named Jerry. Jerry has strong feelings about 1) tires 2) oil 3) power steering fluid 4) brake pads and 5) air filters. Jerry sometimes branches out, but these are issues he is…

I also appreciate that her style has changed a little since she started the job. She tried different things on camera until she found the look that works for her. In the beginning there were some misses and I notice she did not repeat them. I actually think she looks good except for that stink face she gets when…

Lotto winners that they revisit didn’t get an extra $500 or $1,000, they get a lot more. I think it creates a feeling of false confidence. If you’ve never made more than $40K and you get 4 million you feel like you’ll never run out. They don’t tell you what you’ll owe in taxes (I’ve read about half of it over time,…

I don’t recline on domestic flights, even coast to coast, even if the person in front of me reclines. But if I’m flying transatlantic? I recline, but only when dinner is done. Sorry about that, but I’ve never been on a transatlantic where the person in front of me doesn’t eventually recline. And I can’t sleep straight…

Does this mean that we might run out of Justin Bieber? Because, you know, I might be ok with that...

This I will watch.

I don’t know if bitching helps, but here’s hoping! I think it’s hard to feel secure when you don’t have medical insurance. And it’s hard to find the energy to (for example) find a new job when you are stressed. I always say that looking for a full time job IS a full time job. So doing it while you are working full…
