I had a *friend* who I ran into a couple of years after high school. I asked him where he was going to school, and he said, “in New Haven”. I paused and was like, “What is the name of your school?” and he said, “Yale”. I was completely fucking outraged and I said, “Why would you think I wouldn’t know what Yale was?”…

Nicely done.

Lee, is that you?

There are Chinese cups specifically for this purpose. They are little bowls with a lid that gets pushed off the the side a bit while you sip. The lid keeps the leaves out of your mouth and then keeps the tea hot between sips. I know a lot of real tea lovers who drink their tea this way.

Honestly, that was my friend’s attitude by the time she left. It was completely impersonal.

When my niece was 15 or so, she told me how annoying it was to have adults tell her what she could wear, how short her skirts could be, etc.. I told her that nobody distrusts HER, but that we were worried that predatory men would see her and target her. I told her I was sorry that the world was full of these men, and…

My roommate in college came back from her semester in Italy saying the same thing; Italian men seem very public about their ogling and grabbing. She would watch what the Italian girls did and copy them, which was elbow the offending guy without looking at them.

Don’t agree with this guy, he is completely wrong about everything. First, I’ve been living in your neighborhood for over 10 years, and friends of mine have been here for 20; it was not a murderous hell hole. It was mostly empty with lots of vacant lots and not much else except the poor residents who lived here…

That Dart is rad. And it looks like the owner has a vacant lot, too, which is rad-der. Prolly worth 500k easy.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure they were wearing this exact outfit at Coachella with a broad-brimmed black hat and glitter tats. (Personally, I love it.)

I remember my Mom talking to me about abortion and why she was against it. She said to me, “what if I aborted you?” and I said, “who cares? I wouldn’t be here to care.” And I meant it.

I guess it’s traumatic to some people, not traumatic to others. Personally, I am traumatized by my trips to the dentist, but I still think dental work should be considered “normal”.

I was at a very cool restaurant in Philly last week, and the waiter, such a cutie, asked whether there were any allergies. I looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'm allergic to crunchy...and red" and I waited to see a flicker of anything across his face. Nothing! The guy was a total pro. He was already starting…

My sister says that Rand interprets anyone talking when he would rather be talking, as “interrupting him”.

Pyrax, you sound like a smart person. It’s true that you have a lot to learn. I’m 44 and I’m constantly amazed at how my 64 year old boss ends up being right most of the time. But I think you have a great attitude and will go far because of it.

I haven’t seen anyone else mention it here, but when Rand started flipping out on her, I distinctly saw a look of glee pass over Savannah’s face, like she knew she’d hit the jackpot.

It sounds to me as though you are equating age with sickness and death, which is legitimate, but I don't think it's what the author is talking about.

Just don't come here and eat all of our free bread!

I had the same questions as you, and spent at least 5 minutes ruminating, "Did she mean lactose? or maybe the doctor told her no cholesterol?". No answer was forthcoming.

Listen. I love a man with a strong brow ridge. Like, love it. Jason Momoa, David Boreanaz, etc..
