Where is this?

I use an excerpt from it in my writing class to show students how creative nonfiction can be lively and engaging if you use the right words.

Most if not all of the victims went to ORMC (Orlando Regional Medical Center), which is only a few blocks from Pulse. I think the Dr. Phillips staff was wearing those in solidarity. There’s a lot of that around here.

Yes, the response was beautiful, wasn’t it? Except for those horrid Westboro people, I heard and saw only love expressed from everyone around me, and so much sorrow. I live in the Mills/50 area, by the way. Very close to The Center and Will’s.

Me too. While watching that I got this awful, tight feeling in my chest and stomach. I live in Orlando and have been to Pulse. I woke up in the middle of the night that night to use the bathroom and then looked at my phone (does everyone do that?) and saw some FB posts that said a gunman was holding hostages at Pulse.…

Adorable! I used to make all—okay, most—of my clothes, and you’re giving me inspiration. I LOVE that print.

What in the world does “growing to a full height” mean?

It’s total bullshit IME. I’ve been married and divorced twice. In the first marriage, the first year wasn’t great, but it was better than the successive years. In the second marriage, the first year was great. Things didn’t go south until about the sixth year.

Look at Charlotte. Look at her!

I’m a Baby Boomer, and I think I’ve rented more than I’ve owned, but right now I own my own house, with a mortgage payment is just under $600 a month. The house is small (2/1) and older, so it needs work and money thrown into it, but I wanted to own for these reasons: 1) I can have as many pets as I like, and I can…

Kind of reminds me of this, from The Caine Mutiny. MUTINY. Just a suggestion.

This tweet confuses me. I look at Cohen’s profile on Twitter, and he’s got only seven tweets. The most recent was from April. So where did this tweet come from?

Yes! I’m finding this, too. I’m 5'8", and while I work out religiously, my knees are just . . . not good. I want a dress that is about mid-knee, has sleeves, and is not ugly. Oh, and A-line—I look awful in gathered skirts. SO hard to find. As I wrote above, I’m seriously considering going back to designing and sewing…

Yeah, I don’t clean my blazers simply because my armpits might touch the lining. That’s actually pretty funny, I think.

Just looked at their dresses, and 90% of them or more are sleeveless. Grr.

I hate my upper arms, and sleeveless dresses are the devil. Those little sweaters everyone says to wear over them to hide your arms are the devil, too. I live in Florida and have so much trouble finding dresses with sleeves. Back when I was in high school (a long time ago), I made most of my own clothes, and I’m very…

Patti Lupone is only 5'2"? I always imagine celebrities are taller than they are.

Check out Butterflies Are Free. It’s one of her her earliest films, and it’s got Eileen Heckart, too!

Have you listened to her Backyard Sessions? Her voice is decent in those. I found a few of the songs on YouTube.

But why do you want to hide them? Embrace the hips!
