Also, your nails looked like shit from all the housework.

The olives look like eyeballs, and that tomato looks like a mouth. Horrors! I hated jello salads like this.

My mom gained weight during her pregnancies (she bore seven of us, was pregnant eleven times); she hated the weight and wanted it off. During the 60s, she was taking “pills” prescribed by the doctor to help her lose weight. I think it was speed. She was a right bitch, until dad threw the pills away.

The way the full moon lights everything, the feel of a cool breeze on a warm day while walking the dog, sitting outside and enjoying the smells of nature - you got it.

Yeah!

No, because they’re not forcing people to have abortions. They (we) think that an individual should be able to make that choice, as it’s legal and no one else’s business.That’s not pro-death.

Yes!

Sometimes your sugar intake plays a role in yeast infections. I had to monitor mine for a while.

I have a seriously fucked up past regarding coming into my own as a woman. Dad (now dead) was a budding alcoholic; he first touched me “inappropriately” when I was nine, telling me that I shouldn’t ever let a boy touch me that way. I said something to my mother, who told me that he was my dad and he could touch me any…

Freshman in high school, Catholic co-ed school in Chicago. I’m not “the cute girl,” I have “a great personality.” Our high school had dances on Friday nights, as many Catholic high schools did. My older brother’s friend asked me to dance, and I accepted; it was fun to dance with a guy once in a while. I usually danced…

How awesome for you and your ass! I need that kind of motivation.

I recently had a year like that - mom died, guy I'd dated years ago died, dad died, brother-in-law died - it felt that I couldn't catch my breath, waiting for death to catch up with me. And it does, eventually. You have to remember that, without obsessing over it. Friends and family - love them while you're still here…

I haven't gotten high in forever, but yeah, I could see me really enjoying this.

We can only hope. Could he hum?

I had lived away from my family for twenty-some years, seeing them maybe once a year. When Mr. Smith's father's health declined, we moved back to the midwest to be of help. Which meant I had time to spend with my parents, both of whom were failing. Dad was going away, due to dementia. I watched it take him away, week…

Yeah, that comment pissed me off. He had no clue how fucking bad that sounded? Really?

Comcast is my only choice, too. I can go DSL but don't hear good things about that in my area, in terms of speed. Hate Comcast, hate 'em. I know that there are infrastructure costs, but jeez - didn't we give incentives to "cable companies" back when?

Uncle Tim?

I had whooping cough as a child in the 60s. I missed the entire first month of first grade, as my brothers, sisters and I were quarantined. My dad had to live with his parents for that month and deliver groceries to the front door. My mother was in our house for an entire month, with five sick children. (I always…
