Clearly Melania should have first chosen the color of the Easter eggs.

This sucks. But how dumb that people are up in arms about it to the point where they need a security detail.

Oh my god. Here I was on the edge of, “Well, can you blame her? She is an idiot but she has a right to quietly start over and---” oh.

No, you are right. I am 50 (though I’m sorry, I look literally a decade younger than her) and SHE IS TOO OLD. Actually, 10 is too old. You are in a room of leaders of higher education in the Oval Office. Stand up, straighten your clothes, SHOW SOME DEFERENCE AND RESPECT.

The police would have just killed them outright.

I bought a Calvin Klein dress a few years back that is dressy and cool (I was going to a swanky wedding that was outside in Savannah in summer) and has pockets! I have worn it to a half dozen occasions and love it every single time.

I think it was Letterman; you’re right.

My nephews wrote something like that, too; I no longer remember what. I was moved by it, honestly. And also just that he was still having such an impact on a completely different generation.

Well, there’s a lot I don’t love about aging, but considering I spent my first 30 years pretty much in a miasma of failed relationships, self-loathing, and despair — I’m going to do my best to love the now.

Nope -- no kids myself! : ) I am kind of a late bloomer and didn’t get married until my late 30s, and then it just kind of never happened and we are okay with that. (Probably “just never happened” is more like “we were so on the fence we really weren’t on the fence at all” if that makes sense.) And yeah, I feel about…

I love this story, sincerely.

Very cool! Thank you for saying so. : )

My record store was actually the first time it hit me that this was a very big band (meaning, they had just hit it big; he wouldn’t die for another three years), and my boyfriend at the time was all, “What a bunch of crap!” Ha. It mainly just makes me feel so very, very mortal to be 50 years old and to have moments…

A lot cooler than me! : )

50 years old here. I remember standing in a record store (!) in a mall (!!) in 1991 I think when someone put Smells Like Teen Spirit on to test out some stereo equipment. It’s hard to believe I was ever that young. Honestly, that’s all I got.

Ugh, I feel so grossed out now. : (

So well put. Looks so, so uncomfortably awful.

He’s such a petulant baby asshole.

Yeah, and these pipelines threaten the orcas population between Washington State and Canada and I am not happy about that.
