Well there’s been many, but ... after my mother died, I inherited a decent amount of money. My mother often said fucked up things to me, like “I hope you don’t wear toe rings (of course, i do). I saw a fat girl today wearing toe rings and she looked ridiculous.” I feel I should mention my mother herself was quite fat…

3-bed, 2-bath house on 3/4 acre with pool for 2 childfree Olds. In California. In Los Gatos. 

Agree. And the “wanna get married” joke is at his own expense - he’s been engaged twice shortly after meeting a new person - and didn’t seem mean-spirited.

“Refrigerate after opening” and expiry dates are marketing devices. In the fridge - you’ll see it more often and therefore, use it up and buy more. Expiration dates are also to get you to buy more. Mustard does not spoil. Syrup does not spoil - things are preserved in syrup, FFS. Things preserved in vinegar do not…

Me Love You

They could have done it as easily as Apu speaking without an accent and explaining after all these years, he didn’t need to do a bad Welsh accent to be accepted in Springfield. (The Welsh and Indian accents are somewhat similar, especially in a cadence ... it was the first joke that came to mind). 

These women - the kind of woman I knew I didn’t want to be when I was a kid - are the conformists; the ones with the “it” handbag and the boring lifes. They will defend their votes for horrid policies as doing it to ‘protect their children’ from crime (aka black and brown people), to protect their schools (from black…

I’m a 53 year, twice-sterilized woman with chronic gastritis/duodenitis and guess what the treatment is? I’m feeling the need to go on tour, filling my Rx and kicking asses. 

Maybe? I’ve been pretty sure my entire life what I am - 50% Ashkenazi and 50% Welsh. I was curious as to what maternal haplotype I belong - the TL;DR on that is are we as Welsh on that said as we claim (turns out yes, very much so). I also found how Jewish I am ( Tay-Sachs carrier) and a faulty gene that runs in the…

Seriously.

Fun fact: colposcopy was invented by Nazis and used on prisoners at Auschwitz. Usually I’m just joking when I say a painful procedure was must’ve been invented by Nazis but in this case ...

I hear you ... except I wish it had been available even earlier. I had early stage cervical cancer in my 20s - nearly 30 years ago - and despite having my cervix removed and one HPV-negative partner/husband since, my last check came up dysplasic and I’ll get the results of my colposcopy in a week or so.

I love her expression in the second photo. She looks annoyed. Knowing how long the exposure time was for photographs then, she made that face on purpose and wanted it photographed. 

I am inclined to agree - doesn’t matter if he’s guilty of this crime; we know he killed a cat in a horrible way. On the other hand, I want serious penalties for animal cruelty and I don’t want those with obvious intellectual handicaps being forced into false confessions for shit they didn’t do (Dassey) to help nail an…

When I first heard about this case on Forensic Files, my impression was that something was seriously wrong with the investigation, and if he had done it, his previous false conviction played a part.

I tried to watch it, because I like Johnny Galecki. It struck me as a dumbed-down version of Community that put no effort into making the characters anything more than stereotypes (or the women fully human), or into making the plots into anything other than tropes.

Somehow I think Shaw would be tremendously amused by this. 

What, what? Isn’t sexual harassment in the workplace illegal? Why isn’t it? 

Poor, poor disabled Hockenberry. He’s disabled, and the world lacks Romance. Otherwise, it would be understood when he “suggests” that a married subordinate undertake an affair with him, it’s Un Grand Affaire tres Romantique and that he is disabled. If the world weren’t so coldly clinically concerned with women’s…

I too went through my life with Perfect Skin™️. Then I developed rosacea. Still no pimples! Then I got Old and started having these weird random pimples on my chin. Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair clears them up within 12-24 hours. It could be the retinol? I dunno. But when I use it daily, they don’t come back (unless…
