Ashley Judd is the real deal. She speaks fluent French, she was Phi Beta Kappa at the University of KY, she now has a master's degree (in public health, right?), she has spoken out publicly and often about reproductive freedom (which cannot have been easy or popular for her to do given her religious background and…

I like how the mega twin is all, Kneel before your lord and master, SLAVE, and the undertwin is all, Thank you sir may I have another.

I am home from the workworld sick, and must thank you most sincerely for the enraged bandicoot down the trousers. It's the first/best laugh I've had today.

EGR, particularly well-written. The image of the resident shaking his head no-no-no made me get chills.

What color were your toenails being painted, most importantly?

I'm 41, and "girl" can only be used to describe me if a) you are being totally ironic or, b) I'm standing next to my husband's 102-year-old grandmother. Also, "young lady" makes me barf.

Ask Jeeves cruises the gay chat lines....

IT IS HAIR, FOR CHRIST'S OWN SWEET SAKE, who gives a shit what kids do with it? I did all sorts of crazy-ass stuff to my hair as a young lady; if a person wants to alter her appearance at a time in her life when she is trying to figure out who she is, what better to alter than the one thing that is not permanent? …

When I got to that part of the article, I snorted. Ma'am, I think I may know why you are single.

Because all I see is gooey and gross.

Also, are you aware of any forums (fora?) where intelligent and well-spoken persons like yourself with similar experiences can commiserate? I'm sure there's stuff out there.

Jan74, thank you so much for saying that the entire process is awful. We're still in it, no baby yet, and sometimes I just find myself thinking, when we have completed our family, I want to get as far away from this whole world of paperwork and judgements and jesus christ ANOTHER check and never fucking look back.

Don't French-people-from-France mock the accents of the Québécois? Is it possible this was part of what they were fighting about? Is it possible they were fighting because they share the same face and it's actually Francophone Fight Club? Is it possible that the one dude was all (in French) "if you're French how…
