My mother is like that, too. My SIL made BBQ ribs yesterday, with the BBQ consisting of a mix of ketchup, low-sodium soy sauce, and honey. Yep, still "so spicy!" to my mother, who then got mad when we laughed in her face.

The way McD's has been downsizing portions while raising prices is turning people off, too. Ever since they started charging over $8 for a 'value" meal consisting of a shrunken burger, small fries, and child's size drink, they lost not only me but pretty much everyone at my job (20+ shit-paid social workers who are on…

You're welcome. If I didn't come up with ways to amuse myself about it, I'd do a lot more crying.

Oh, so you've met my grandmother, then? Woman'd walk a mile out of her way to get her feelings hurt.

AHHHHHHHHH MY OVARIES

Are you crazy? Thomas the Devious Footman (pardon, now he's the Devious Under-Butler) is SMOKIN' hot.

QUEL DOMMAGE!!!!!1!!!

The plum jumpsuit is breathtaking, and that red gown with the cape— my god. Also the hot-pink frock on the left... that little light blue number between turquoise and violet... IDK how to even choose. I CHOOSE ALL OF THEM. I will say I think she's more transcendentally lovely in bright, cool colors— the earth-tony…

I understand completely. It's been nice talking with you :)

"Should" look like women? How, exactly, does she look manly? Please mansplain to me how her facial features and body shape are negated by having short hair.

I'm sure a goodly number of the people in nursing homes are there because they were toxic assholes to their kids. But my mother worked 30 years as head nurse in nursing homes, and I worked there with her during high school, and most of these people were just regular, nice old folks whose kids had more important things…

I understand, and I'm so sorry it ended up like this for you [cyber hug]

Pretty sure I'd find my own kids boring, too, which is why I've not had any. And I never said I'm fascinating. Just that children aren't. I don't know why you think a person is stingy of spirit if they don't find a certain type of person interesting; I also think sports fans are excruciatingly boring and endeavor to…

Exactly! I just got a credit card limit increased for the sole purpose of building/repairing credit, it works pretty well. And my score dropped 6 points in 1 month after I paid off one student loan and suddenly my credit history was a few years younger :( Hence my urging to keep old accounts in good standing!

Namaste/tashi delek/gassho, whichever your preference be <3

...we're going to have to agree to disagree on that one. My experience is that the majority of borderline individuals I worked with had very poor impulse control when angry, and the result was lots of assault charges.

I want it to go on to the Supremes... as in Diana Ross et al. That would be so righteous.

Those Parasol Protectorate books are fucking awesome, and so are you for mentioning them.

We didn't need the first Iggy Azalea.
