I often sleep-shoot someone after working the slide, releasing the safety and pulling the trigger while sleeping while drugged. Well, I don’t because I’m not a jackass who leaves a round chambered and the safety off.

I agree that throwing violent juvenile offenders into the adult system is a failure. The juvenile system needs reform (well, so does the adult system). All placing juveniles with adults does is damages the juveniles and/or teaches them how to be better criminals, when what should be done with offenders of any age is…

Our juvenile justice system is designed to deal with juveniles committing truancy, petit theft, vandalism and getting into fist fights. It has not really adjusted to the real world, where juveniles do commit more serious crimes, such as rape, murder and attempted murder. I’m guessing enough juvenile offenders who…

I was especially side-eyedy about the last demand to know details on my toe ring because I was in the fucking hospital at the time and it was a nurse who kept admiring it and wanting to know all about it. I was in the hospital, so not at my best, and not conscious a lot and I was hoping to leave with it. (It's an 18kt…

Don't you know there are only two things that motivate women: wanting a baby and emotional trauma from past abuse. No other kind of woman exists.

My bracelet is a little déclassé (Tiffany’s) but I feel you on the no, I’m not handing out charms to quiet your brat thing. I’m also not up for discussing how much my shit cost, either. I’m not admitting in public how much my toe rings cost.

I’ve known about Warren Buffett’s intense and sincere dedication to reproductive rights for a long time, and I will always admire him and be grateful for it.

You can taunt my 5’3” ass all you want as long as long as you help me reach stuff. Kidding about reaching stuff for me - I carry a collapsible back scratcher to help snag things in the grocery store.

Right, I get that; as I mentioned, I have rosacea, which can be disfiguring* (though it doesn’t start out that way). So that’s why I said I didn’t know the right way to discuss it because I’m sure she or anyone else with it would rather not have it and also doesn’t want to be anything despite or because it.

Not “despite” nor “because” of the vitiligo ... She would be beautiful without it; she's beautiful with it. I don't know the right way to discuss her look (and I have a milder skin disorder, rosacea, so this isn't totally uncharted territory) other than to say just that: not because or despite of it; she's just…

Go for it! It’s often white non-Jews who think their minor inconvenience is morally equivalent to genocide. And hangnail and Hitler both start with “H” ... coincidence? I think not!

One of my friends was noticing how things that weren’t like the Holocaust were being compared to the Holocaust, so of course, we started describing any minor inconvenience as “just like the Holocaust!” No good parking? Just like the Holocaust! Store out of your brand of cigarettes? Just like the Holocaust! Being a…

Without knowing the entire story, I’ll just mention the way Capote could have “contributed” to TKaMB without writing a word is by doing copy editing. A good copy editor is a rare thing, and love or hate him, he was a very good writer. A copy editor who can also write is like gold. Poisonous gold.

When you’re my age, you may have the sense to laugh at what you wrote ... unless you’ve become a god-grasping bigot. I wasn’t a bigot in the dotage of my late 20s, and I haven’t suddenly started believing in a bronze-age myths and hating groups of people now that I’m 50. Not even young’uns in their 20s who believe…

I live in the heart of John Linley, Herbert Mullin and Ed Kemper Country. I don't answer the door unless I know who it is. Better silly than sorry!

I’m still convinced MacDonald did it, but McGinnis ... yikes. I feel sympathetic toward him because I understand how and why he lost sight of all journalistic ethics but what a hot mess.

My husband? We’d better have a talk because there’s assets involved. My best bud? Yeah, I'd be good with being ghosted. I can live without hearing why I suck.

I get that. I had moved; not out of the area but a decent drive from where I had lived and she’d gotten married, so not seeing her daily was the new normal. I did sort of ghost her husband - walking past him without stopping to talk - but I didn't realize it was him till I had already driven off ...

I (and my buddy, who was also unfriended by the same person) thought it was kind of weird - I generally just ‘liked’ her updates and didn’t get into arguments or post shitty things to her. I figured I was no longer considered a Quality Friend when she stopped coming over and I wasn’t invited to either of her weddings…

I did ask her something of some importance - my SIL had a serious health issue and she knows people in that specialized field - and after saying, “oh sure I’ll ask that one super easy to contact person that one question,” nothin’. So I let it drop; I didn’t pester or anything.
