Heartbreaker!

Thanks for expanding on your thoughts. I wondered if maybe Maxwell was some kind of morbidly devoted executive secretary... or like NXIVM’s pathological careerist Sarah Edmondson (above). The parenting equation you’re describing is nauseating – and not because I find it so foreign to my own experience. I’m no stranger…

OK I’ve not been following the story in the news (can’t stomach it), so I can’t tell if you’re sharing something you’ve read in like a VF exposé – or delivering a biting satire on modern, toxic relationships! LOL!

Was Maxwell on some kind of payroll? Or were she and Epstein just “friends”? I’m curious to know what/how she was being paid to participate so willingly in such heinous crimes.

Living off the land is hard, often body-breaking and dangerous work.

Awesome!!! But can they dye my eyes to match my gown?

For the devoted Jezzie, Taylor Swift is the musical Gwyneth Paltrow.

I broke up with someone for never putting my name in any written or recorded verbal communication. Emails and voice messages started with:

I literally stop breathing every time someone I’m dating leans in close.

Bartenders.

I’ve never heard it put this way, but you’re right! But how does it work, exactly?

Also “I’m 45 but I’m told I don’t look it.”

It makes them look predatory.

Actors. Forget it.

To say nothing of piercings or jewelry dingle-dangling below the belt.

Agreed. In fact, I really don’t want to see anyone’s feet for a long, long time.
