Thank you. I don’t think he’s trying to distract us because I don’t think he’s clever enough for that. I think we get whatever crosses his mind at a given moment.

He seems so BPD to me. I had the misfortune to be close friends with one that resulted in years of harassment after I had to disengage. Can take no criticism, experiences the extreme of every emotion, and all that paranoia.

Yeah, I read it the way you did, too.

Does this allow them to completely lie or just evade telling? Because I would start directly asking.

It’s one of my biggest fears. We had a friend recover from ovarian cancer, move on with her life, and then it came back and *wham* she was dead. The symptoms seem so ordinary.

I’ve been in that situation too! He has a very diverse staff, which was nice to see. But I have to be cornered before I will shake hands (while my friends laugh at me because they can read the thought bubbles above my head). I think I was circling the room on the opposite side from Joni Ernst.

None of these people can act. At all.

Really? My baby shower had an open bar. I figured I was the only one on forced sobriety.

The marshmallow candy. It’s very bizarre.

My dad is a stereotypical hippie turned super religious conservative. I did not know his bizarre feeling about Obama personally taking his job until my meltdown after the election. I mean, the government did have something to do with him losing his job since it was funded with pork barrel money but to the best of my…

He’s a Bravo superfan, believe it or not.

There was a lot of homophobia flying around that episode. Also, I can’t stand Marlo. I would have not been able to stop myself from saying “Why are you even here? To try to get back on the show that fired you?”.

I think some truly believe these are paid protesters, because they are idiots. I think they will have a surprise. Dems are notoriously terrible at midterm voting but I’m guessing that train has left the station.

This is one of my biggest fears when planning conventions—that I will forget to ask what else is booked there. The Gaylord is huge and rarely only hosting one conference.

Are you sure Hoody Doody there isn’t terrified of DC like Chaffetz?

Yeah, I got in a huge fight with my own father for the same reason. I’m like “he wants me to die from lack of health insurance and he wants your son to die for his occupation and you still fucking voted for him”. Then again, my dad thinks Obama, personally, is the reason he lost his job.

Barbara Comstock is running away, literally, from her constituents. I know someone who tried to talk to her in a Wegman’s and she took off running.

Are you out of your mind? I lived in CO, the true land of “stand your ground” and this isn’t standing one’s ground. You can’t hold on to the person, you have to give them the chance to leave, and you have to feel in danger. You can’t shoot them in the back, either. You can’t shoot bystanders on the sidewalk, they…

I live in a way more expensive part of town than Potomac so I roll my eyes at them. I like Ashley, though. I think she’s fun.

I volunteer a lot and even rich person volunteering is super valuable for kids IME, even if they are just watching their parents doing it. (Rich people volunteering: Ballet, opera, charity balls, things like that. I do a lot of it and it pays for extremely needed things plus I love supporting the arts but the people…
