I named my dog Poochie.

I just love the idea of a Spoiler Space for an historical event, but yes, I get why it makes sense for the movie.

So, um, it was OK. I wasn't bored. The leads lacked charm, and it was not nearly as bat-shit crazy as I would have hoped. I confidently predict that it will not become a cult film. No Bruce Willis. No Chris Tucker. Some interesting action sequences, but mostly, meh.

No one is allowed to use that song?

Oh I don't know. I had zero interest is seeing "John Carter". I am all the hell over seeing this, as is my husband, my daughter, her friends and their parents. I don't think we will be the only people seeing it.

Same thing that happened to Animal Planet.

Well, I have heard of the band One Direction, but I did not know the names of any of the members until recently. Nolan and I are very close in age. He could very well be telling the truth.

Oh, well, we're all over that. I wish you could have been there when my mom dropped the word "vulva" in conversation with my daughter and her friend the other day (she was describing the signs of pregnancy in goats). Maybe that's why I have never had to see a therapist.

Hmm. I've never had to see a therapist, so I guess none of them ever had the chance to tell me that I should be discussing the details of my sex life with my parents and teenage daughter. I'm 50, and I've gotten along fine so far. But I guess it's never too late to bring it up with my 75 year old mother who lives with…

Yes. She loves Cumberbatch, but seeing him rape someone while dressed as a monster was a bit outside of her comfort zone. Mine too, actually.

It's actually sort of funny. She watched "13 Reasons Why" and then told me I shouldn't because it would really upset me. She absolutely right. Nice to have my daughter screen things for me.

We encountered an unexpected graphic rape scene in the London stage production of Frankenstein, which starred her favorite actor in the raping role. I then immediately re-read the book just to make sure I had not mentally blocked a graphic rape scene. I had not. Why add a rape scene?! Heh, I know what would make…

Oh come on. What teenager likes to watch sex scenes with his or her parents? Heck, what adult likes to watch sex scenes with his or her parents?

How graphic is the sex scene? I know there is one because I heard hilarious clips form it on Fresh Air yesterday. I think my 14-soon-to-be-15 year old daughter would really like this (as would I), but she won't want to watch it with me if there is sexy sex.

It's amazing how tolerant we are of cat bites when you consider what happens when a dog bites someone. Granted, a dog bite can be much more serious, but still. We expect a degree of good behavior from dogs that we would never expect from cats.

The headless bunny thing! I thought that was just me.

Five cats, 3 horses, 3 goats, 6 chickens and a really old Corgi.

"An American Sickness" which explains why our healthcare system is so over-priced (spoiler: there are multiple reasons) and what we can do about it. It's by a former reporter for Kaiser Family Health News (not associated with Kaiser Permanente). I suppose it's pretty dry compared to some of the other posts, but a good…

On NPR they kept saying her full name—Reality Lee Winner—so it would be clear that it was actually a person's name and not a description.

And if the lapses are happening again, you would think that whatever was medically wrong with him then is wrong again now. I may be particularly attuned to this since I am a med school professor, but he is nearly catatonic and not even marginally functional. That is usually a sign of a profound disturbance of some…
