Tomatoes are my reason to live, no matte our 4 (Freak'in) seasons. You go, Girl. Also, if you have too many - spread the joy :) And I'll give you my address if you have no 'takers' ;)

You win this one, hands down. I live in the greys (happily). But I hope that your story get's the attention that it deserves. You are a Gold-winning survivor in the raw. And You've got this, Babe. Seriously, CU...You are Magnificent and my personal Inspiration!

Good on you, Babe!! And yes, the Thrifts (especially Goodwill and Salvation Army - who CLAIM to be non-profit) are losing my love. G-will in particular). If you have a few minutes to spare and want to see some serious "Byer Beware" look at Goodwill's Online Shopping Network. BARF. I bought something and it was filthy…

THANK YOU! Eggs. I have eaten uncooked eggs for a month now and not gotten sick. Woo Hoo! risk-takers. That’s my lowly Brag. But at my advanced aged, NOT getting sick is a freak’in Gold Medal achievement.

Fabulous accomplishment. I hope you "donated" so that I can have your lovely "discards" at a fraction of the price ('cause I know it's gonna be a bitch of a winter and PO Folks need "comfort" too :)

I gotta agree with Myra Flection. Hormone are a bitch. Your likely too young for peri-menopause, but I was diagnosed with PMDD at age 30. Whatever: actually, I'm done with "Modern Medicine" AND F-ing psychiatrists. Read about this stuff voraciously before you make an appt. with anyone. Research their credentials on…

Eh, Sweetie. Don't feel lonely. All over America couples (and couples with their families) are undergoing SHEER HELL doing the "friends & family" BS. All they want is for this to be over (and looking for excuses to CTSE:Cut This Sh*t Early). IMO: The BEST holiday is when Everyone Else goes away :)

From your mouth to god’s (or the government’s/voters ears). Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't chose to have children myself (and was never violated as one). It's difficult for me to get my mind around this whole business. I did, however, know a guy in grad school who had been designated after doing something on the order of "Horrible Bosses'" character "Dale". It was all very…

That's interesting (and progressive). Does their official "status" as offenders in any way change after the program? Are they allowed more freedom of movement and autonomy?

I don’t know how these things are done now, but my math Prof. basically “worked the numbers” to get me a lower-than-low “pass” out of sheer pity. It wasn’t even an algebra class. Just a “math course” requirement that included some algebra. And I went to a tiny “country high school” where only the ‘best of the math…

You guys are making me feel soooo much better. I'm really tired of "higher math skills" being used as the rubric of "genius".

Ha! worked 4 college degrees and still can't do algebra. I think all that chalk dust while diagramming sentences as a 2cd grader damaged my "math parts."

Yeah. I wasn't even really "socially ready" at 17 1/2. Even beyond the "socially" there is a component we could casually term "maturity" - which I suppose would essentially be about "personal responsibility", "impulse control", "delayed gratification", "accountability": stuff one can only learn with time and…

No. But I sure as hell do. Why she chose it I have no.......... I was born on the same date as a very beloved Great Aunt who was almost a mother to my mother. She hoped I would be named after her (she has I name I absolutely adore). Nope. Not gonna happen. I love my mother. I hate my mother.

Is this a ............. "Boy Band?" Def not "boys" and couldn't they at least recruit ONE good-looking guy?

Yes please. Can we stop with the lies - that these two people have talent.

Meh, as long as she keeps it in her name and keeps the title, he'll have to cry whenever he wants to drive it.

I love the "physical" ones: zinc oxide. I'm also very white, but not THAT white. I mix a little foundation color into at and Viola! And this sounds like a good product, but I wonder about the cost. Could POC do what I did what good results, I wonder?

I'm starring this hard (and also that star thingy on my PC so I can "favorite" this and watch it over and over). Bravo.
