That tightly pulled back ponytail is NOT doing her any favors. So few women can wear that look well, and she is not one of them.

Even better. When you’re burdened with something, a compassionate, courageous companion can lighten the load.

This is a cool story (and I mean that sincerely, not ironically). It’s a textbook example of handling a trying situation as mature adults. I wish more people (myself included) would do this more often.

Also, Rick Yancey’s The Curse of the Wendigo, the second book in the excellent Monstrumologist series. It’s creepy and atmospheric and pretty fucking scary.

I fucking adore you.

Funny, heartwarming and a legit crusade against evil.

However, this has already been done a lot better twenty years ago and was actually funny.

& now, onto watching the Ghost & Mr. Chicken!

...everything you described (SMELL, SIGHT, HORROR, GAG) unfolded in front of me AND on my HANDS.

I did not. But it was a nice little glass bowl so I’m confident somebody found it and gave it a home.

I’m hoping for a slow, steady build.

A rotten egg.

Sweet baby jebus, how do people NOT help with strollers when they see a caregiver in need? It’s, like, Humanity 101! Unless of course you are physically incapable, which carries its own challenges.

I was taught both as a kid and I do them well because I’ve sewed countless buttons and baked even more cakes.

Along those same lines, it always frosts my pumpkin when I hear a guy say “She doesn’t know the right way throw a ball! She doesn’t know the right way to hammer a nail!” Bitch, you weren’t born with those skills. Somebody taught you. Be a teacher, not an asshole. AND don’t be an asshole-ish teacher, either.

OMG yes. One thing attention whores canNOT understand is that everyone isn’t an attention whore. If the person you’re proposing to has a more quiet, reserved demeanor, accommodate that. It won’t kill you to turn off the spotlight and just let the moment shine for itself.

I responded “I appreciate that you’ll pray for me but I don’t need or want your pity.”

Oh, you magnificent bastard.

He looks like the benighted progeny of a hate-fuck between Mike Myers and Tilda Swinton.

Unless you are a nun!
