@meanteeth: Oh I totally think she would have hit her. She would have got in her face, Danielle would have pushed it further and got hit. I don't think violence solves it, but fights happen. The thing is though, Teresa would fight, maybe hold a grudge, yell at her, whatever, but Danielle (*allegedly!) does shit like…

@DeccaLeChat: I caught pieces of the first (?) season - I dunno, the whole "book" thing - and I felt really bad for Danielle. She'd had a crazy life and these women were holding it against her? But it quickly became clear that it was not just the book they had an issue with. I honestly keep expecting her to rub her…

@deleahrium: and my dorm theme freshman year was "pink & black & Batman"

I'm moving in with the beau, like, tomorrow. I have certain ideas I'm pretty set on, but otherwise it's all about accomodating.

not everyone can afford smartphones. I got my ipod touch free, and that's holding me over while I deal with my crappy dumbphone. oh woe is me.

@iamthelaw: I like her (as a character. I can't take any of these women seriously enough to truly accept they really exist. I am clearly in denial.) She's totally reactive, yes, but she's like a little dog, all bark, preemptively defending herself against the big bad world. I think she has issues, but her brand of…

@doit2julia: haha oh I know

@SarahMC: I'm just doing the same with yours. I see from your other comments that you aren't advocating what these people are doing, but you're also giving the impression, with the comment I replied to in particular, that they don't have a choice and the shelters don't want them.

@SarahMC: I worked at an animal shelter in NJ and we routinely took in dozens of puppies/dogs from high-kill shelters in other (usually southern) states, and even from Puerto Rico. There ARE options.

@chocolatecoffeebeans: my mom and I laugh so hard at the backwards things Danielle says, especially, that sometimes we cry.

@MakeMeSmile: I always assume they're just so overwhelmed they can't even react to her. (There's no point, she doesn't listen to them anyway - "Do you think I should go?" "No" "I don't want to get involved, so you're right, I'll go!" WHAT?)

@doit2julia: my closed captioning typed "bring" every time, for what it's worth.

for the record, I think the "break vs bring" conundrum is just an effect of audio overmodulation (when the audio peaks - aka, she's SCREAMING into that microphone and it can't handle it - sometimes it can clip, where parts of the sound just get cut right out. it's totally easy for that to sound like a solid letter…

@TheLadyK: you don't even see them coming! they are like furry ninjas!

eeee! miniature! want!

@MissAimee: I was babysitting a 4-tear-old neighbor and he simulated what he had seen (his parents? on TV? I forget, I was in high school) by grabbing the family jack russel and humping his rear. he thought it was hysterical. I really can't remember what my reaction even was.

@kbrook: my cat follows me into the bathroom but she is beyond impolite. she throws herself at my feet and bares her belly and stares, or she paces and yells at me. true fact, she has even snuck up on me to take special interest in my tampon strings before being swatted away.

at an old job, we were maybe 2 female and 5 or 6 male employees, plus a sexist male boss. not only were women paid less than the men (small office gossip, we all knew) but only the girls - from what I remember - were called "kid". all the time. he even mentioned on more than one occasion that he was specifically…

"statistically speaking women have a huge advantage as entrepreneurs, because the press is dying to write about them, and venture capitalists are dying to fund them."

@bookling: One of my favorite annoying trivia pieces to throw in people's faces is that pink = girl and blue = boy was once the opposite.
