I’m reading Navigating The Land Of IF by Melissa Ford. It’s about infertility and all the crap that comes with it. I borrowed it from the library but I think I’ll buy a copy so I can make notes and bookmark and let HV read it too.

Holy shit, we might be friends with the same guy!

I have two kiddos, Dudette (9, 4th grade) and Little Dude (6, kindergarten). I’ve been with them for 3 years. Dudette is currently obsessed with Harry Potter; we’ve been playing the exact same HP-based game every other day before school for the last six months or so. She’s always Ginny (because she’s a redhead), but…

The episodes were WAY too short. The longest only clocked in at like 19 minutes, which is ridiculous. Thanks, FXX.

Yes! I don’t think it’s streaming anywhere anymore but my friend has it on DVD so it’s my hangover show.

Pam, Carol and/or Cheryl Tunt (tum again?), and Woodhouse. I’m a Pam in the streets, Cheryl in the sheets.

Class of ‘09 at a high school with 3,500 kids. It was part of an elective (“parenting and childcare” or some shit?) and one of my classmates had it the weekend of our senior corn roast. She had it with her and it was the most annoying thing.

My cat, because we could spend ages looking at the pics I have of him.

I am SO. MAD. that Depp is in this. I love every other person in the cast but I can’t go see it because I don’t want Depp to get a cent of my money.

Not only will this be shitty for folks trying to prevent pregnancy, it’ll also be bad for people going through IUI/IVF who have to take BCP to regulate their cycles before starting treatment. For fuck’s sake.

That gif should be used more often haha!

I had a passing acquaintance with a guy who did Idol when Brit was judging and he only went to try to go viral or whatever. He did. It was still a waste of a day or two.

Darrell, you ignorant slut.

That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. New life goal is to get high with OI.

The end of this season, I think! Fortunately Harry Potter marathons never get old.

*raises hand* I have Johnny Damon’s book, Papi’s first memoir, Stephen King and Stewart O’Nan’s book about the ‘04 season, and at least one other book about ‘04. I also have Brandi Chastain’s and a few other soccer books. I was a very bored middle/high schooler.

This sounds really harsh, and I know it doesn’t help you at this point, but I’d recommend no longer giving her stuff. My estranged grandmother used to do the same thing with Christmas presents and eventually it got easier to stop giving her physical gifts. I’d go with a gift card she’ll use if you need to give her…

That’s probably the only way I’d eat it. I hate foods with mushy textures. I’d call it a deconstructed oatmeal cookie and be a pretentious douche about it.

Shit, I want to move to that district just to vote for her.

The source material for Handmaid’s Tale included that Offred’s family was trying to escape to Canada. It’s always been a thing (like the draftees who fled to Canada during ‘Nam).
