I think Ashley really wants to constantly remind Rob that he’s attached.

I’ve noticed when it’s younger people sharing a Facebook account with a name like “RobandAshley Smith” It’s always Ashley and never Rob who is using it. There are a number of accounts like this that post in my local neighborhood group, and I always ask “is this Rob or Ashley who is commenting?”... it’s freaking…

That’s not a meme, it’s a quote from a famous author whom you should read, if you haven’t.

Some men have become unreasonably angry at me when I merely rescheduled an initial date. After that happened once, it became a regular technique of mine to weed out men, on dating sites, with poor anger management skills. It’s quite eye-opening to have a guy morph from polite to pressuring or abusive.

I just asked the two average-to-large men in the room with me, who both frequent public transport, and they call bullshit on this theory. Maybe it’s just you?

OMG, I need this.

Yep, long legs here too. If the person in front of me reclines, their weight is resting on my knees. Seat recliners are the devil. I always sleep upright on planes due to the huge dose of benzos I need to fly at all (claustrophobia). I have a neck pillow for that reason.

I fly with literally baggies of pills, and the TSA never seems to care. (They’re mostly supplements and the rest are prescribed. I usually put the prescribed meds in a pill case and carry the script, I’ve never been asked anything about it.)

There are a few brands of vegan & vegetarian dog food, and one brand of vegan cat food. I used to know a guy whose wife insisted on feeding their cats vegan food... and he would sneak them meat all the time.

Ugh, this is such a tragic story. This almost happened to my fiancé’s daughter when she was a freshman in high school (13 years old), and senior boys encourage her to drink too much at a party... she didn’t know how much was OK to drink. They then drove her to a friend’s house (where she was supposedly staying the…

Your phone will straight up die in that weather, within about 20 minutes or so, maybe less. It happened to me yesterday, and was a mostly full battery when I got back into the house and warmed it up.

I’m loving Dr. Bronner’s lip balm which has been on sale at my local co-op for $1.99. I’m on my 2nd tube, and no lanolin: avocado, beeswax, jojoba, hemp, and essential oil for flavor.

Right, if he was disabled or killed by being shot – how would that help his daughter? He read the situation and did split-second calculations on what the right course of action might be. You can’t know what you would do unless put in exactly the same position.

She could have raised awareness with a compelling infographic, she didn’t need to appropriate another artist’s work as well as other people’s culture. What about promoting an NGO that helps women in these tribes go to school, or start businesses?

She has since retracted the post:

Triptans don’t work for me, so I just need anti-nausea meds for migraines, and I deal with the pain. Sometimes it’s hard to get Zofran even, I don’t know why – who abuses that? I did have the hospital’s “special cocktail of IV migraine meds” once at the ER, and it was nice. :)

I know, right? I used to get cough syrup with codeine every time I had bronchitis as a kid. A few years ago, I had abdominal surgery and a bad cough afterwards – I had to hack and dry heave my way to an internal hematoma before the doc would give me something stronger for the cough. Then I had to take two heavy-duty…

What’s tough on Facebook is that more and more white FB “friends” in my area (Minneapolis-St. Paul) are decrying the BLM tactics. I feel like if I don’t share my opinions on the subject, everyone starts to feel that all the other white people agree and BLM tactics are in fact “causing them to lose community support”.…

Children these days will never know the hope-filled delight that was the toy section of the Sears Christmas catalog.

You’re saying nothing else in life is worth more than public opinion? That is a very narcissistic view of life: there is literally nothing more valuable than the opinions of other people, even if you’re free and wealthy. Plenty of humans have lived through public disgrace and worse (I can imagine many worse things)…

Dr. Ferguson, who does the exams on the Tiny Kittens cat rescue Livestream, gives many of the kittens little head smooches during their exams. Sometimes I think she’s not even fully aware she’s doing it... it’s adorable, and I would do the same.
