I might stop saying to my cat, "I CAN SEE YOU. YOU ARE INDEED VISIBLE. YOU CANNOT MAKE ME STOP SEEING YOU." Then again, I say that when friends are around, so probably not.

Does calling it "lobbying" make it seem more realistic to you?

I personally see a giant rock snapping turtle.

Sing it loud! Girls were dressing like Dr. Who in the 80s! Knitting existed! As did colored yarn! It's SORCERY!!!

See? Knitting was not invented in 2005. Who knew??????? It's ASTOUNDING. (Sorry. I found this article aggravating. Can you tell?)

I read the first two books of the series, and then stopped, because it got super-depressing and was clearly only going to keep getting worse.

But it's less likely to lead to charges than the "for rectal use only" stickers my kindly pharmacist gave to me when I was in grad school. While sorely tempted to use those on certain students' work, I only ever used them on my own stuff.

Do you actually not know anything about the number of unadopted children stuck in crap situations, or are you being facetious?

I read Unwind with a teenage friend a couple of years ago, and I thought that the book didn't actually push a pro-choice message: rather, it pushed a anti-really-bad-laws message.

I WAS them back in the 1980s.

Not at all. It's just that you seem really stressed, and many people seem weirdly reluctant to go to a trainer, so I was trying to be encouraging and instead I sounded abrasive. I really believe the puppy training will help. You are a good person for caring for that doggie.

I am being emphatic, as I thought my "you deserve it" statement made clear, but did not. Sorry I offended. What I mean is that you sound really stressed out, and seeking professional advice in taking the dog to a trainer is a really good idea. Going to a trainer is not the same as getting advice; rather it is getting…

I'm sorry the small reptile threatens your masculinity. I'm here to tell you that it's okay to FEEL your FEELINGS.

This is exactly what I said as soon as I heard about them. Now I'm going to go cry about it, because it's so goddamned sad.

Um. The Quarter Quell takes place in an arena surrounding a salt lake in which there is an island. It does not take place on an island surrounded by an ocean. Remember the "cooking food by throwing it into the force field that surrounds the land" part?

Get professional help, because you and that dog both deserve it.

I would actually be happy to wear some of these, which is something I never say about high fashion.

My ex-boyfriend gave me flowers exactly once. He came over with a huge armful of roses. The rose bushes had been scratching his truck, so he did some pruning....

I give you credit for your expertise. Further, I disagree with the Blakdragon39's claim that people are MERELY acting as though climate change isn't anthropogenic; rather, they are denying that the climate is changing. That denial is actually happening all the time, and it's ridiculous, partly because it consists of…

Also: sea otters. You should not flush cat poop down the toilet if you live near the ocean.
