You’ve tapped into one of my deep lady secrets. I felt so smug the 20 years I drove a standard. I resented myself when I got an automatic but jfc my commute...

I’m glad to know I wasn’t alone in that

When I met him I walked away (with very weak knees) finally understanding the word “charisma”. Also, everyone who sees the photo asks me if his hand is on my ass. It wasn’t. Dammit.

I have that one and one for Yosemite, as well. It’s scary!

Interesting idea! Thank you!

Thank you! its an ugly, challenging process. I can only hope SC County is currently hyperaware :-/. I appreciate your advice.

Everyone involved in my case has told me “don’t worry, SC County is very tough on DV, you are safe”. I’m feeling a lot less safe right now. Hell, I’m nervous typing this anonymously in the greys!!

Every once in a long while you’ll get a Firefly reference out of Rick Castle and it makes my day.

I looked up her age because I was certain someone should notify CPS. Turns out I'm just old, I guess.

I hired them for a corporate party once upon a time. Before the show I was ridiculed a little bit. After the show people were thrilled with how much fun they had. Also, I may have stayed up and drank with at least one of them until 4am.

You can catch up on Hulu!

I ignored it when it first ran but found it on Hulu and I’m so angry with myself for almost missing out.

That kind of reaction/behavior is so familiar. I have to break up with him because I’m afraid to break up with him due to his penchant for relatiation and ‘punishment’. He has no idea who I am on Gawker, nor does he ever read Jezebel but even complaining about him in an anonymous way had me worried to click ‘publish’.…

You are future me and I’m so grateful that you posted your story. I’m right on the cusp of getting out and I experienced so many of the things that you said. Like, of course this isn’t abuse, no one would dare abuse me and I’d never allow it. And Yes, I need to just watch my reactions, that’s on me. And the humilation…

I kept having to remind myself that the performance was freaking incredible on it’s own. I was so caught up in the emotions of the crowd! When the Prez wiped a tear I got choked up. And Carole King? Oh to feel such unbridled joy and honor. What a thing to wake up to in my Jez feed. Thank you!!

She kept turning around to the guy behind her “can you believe this shit??!!” and he disappointed her each time.

Every year “Hey, what are you doing for Christmas?” Almost every year my reasponse is ‘nothing’ and people always act like it’s so sad and make me offers that I never take up. I think they are secretly jealous and they just want me to be as stressed out and irritated as they are :-).

Should that even be on this list? That one is cinematic genius! I even had it on laser disc. I’m an Old.

I freaking loved Battleship (also saw on a plane) and I have yet to have someone agree with me.

My old cat was called Harley and when she was a wee one I called her “hardly a cat”. Your perfect pun reminded me.
