I wish she would release this video to a legal intermediary, if she’s worried about someone biased looking at it.  I mean, this guy is about the be the attorney general, let’s get this tape to the AG’s office now before he’s there so they can verify this.

Okay so now because of you I have a vision of a hotel hallway with Trump in blinding white underpants chasing a porn star, who in turn is chasing a bellhop, who is in turn chasing a jack rabbit for some reason. Then the manager comes in and starts chasing Trump with a table cloth to cover him and now the jack rabbit…

The best way to read Maureen Dowd is not at all.

This is really solid advice, and I appreciate your sharing. It’s also nice to know I’m not alone. (I wish I had more response to offer, but honestly it’s just very reassuring.)

This was me. Now I’m in a relationship and I’m… not sure what to do with him. I actually am having a hard time transitioning to “together” because I learned so well to be alone. It’s not something I ever thought would (or could) happen. How do you learn to share your time when you never had to?

Really well put. I have an aunt and older cousin both of whom never married or partnered up with anyone. After I broke off my engagement to a horrible man in my very early 20s, I started thinking a lot about the possibility of ending up alone. At first it made me feel sorry for myself, but then I started thinking…

Awesome! I’m 38 and alone. I do whatever I want, I go wherever I want (road trips, concerts, long hikes, foreign countries), and my time is mine. I do get lonely. I think men find such strongly defined self-sufficiency and independence threatening as hell, so I will likely always be alone.

I get to the point where I sometimes think that people who constantly try to discourage ladies from traveling alone are just ... jealous.

48 and single, with no plans on that changing, and actually, thank god. I love my life and everything I’ve built and accomplished and have seen, by myself and for myself. Pity parties because you went to a movie by yourself are just sad. And not because you had to go to a movie by yourself, but because you couldn’t…

This is good.

Thanks. That makes sense. Also, thanks for not assuming that just because I had a question about how this affects really small businesses, I don’t like the bill. I do, but I had a question about it.

I know- I’m exhausted. There are SO many awful things happening that I get completely overwhelmed and feel even more helpless. But I can’t ignore it, either because pretty much every awful thing directly affects my students.

Exactly this, in the UK version there was the odd trash talk incident if one of the group got in the drink and I am sure I saw one episode where a bride left the wedding because she was cold or something, the gay weddings have been fun.. I watched 2 seasons whilst on the sick once.. sue me lol.

I HATE THAT. You cannot deduct points for weather. That’s such a scuzzy move. Eeesh.

As they should. Dry weddings are bullshit. Weddings, in general, are bs and uncomfortable because you probably won’t know anyone outside of who you’re at a table with. Liquor makes them bearable.

I, too, am more accepting of gay people than I am of white evangelicals.

Plus, I liked that often there was a nice diversity of brides; race, religion, ethnicity, style, sexuality (I’m pretty sure there were a few same sex (female) couples), etc. Overall, it was pretty nice. With this twist, I’m afraid that the ‘getting to know your neighbor’ aspect, will be lost.

That is fine.

I agree. I was obsessed with this show when I was planning my wedding... but the rating and judging were only acceptable/fun because they did not previously know each other. I feel like competing against friends will not only be mean, but will add a horrible element into something that should be an exciting and…
