Thank you for all these great tips! I’d like to add some restaurant advice: the French don’t want to rush you through your meal, so they’re never going to just offer you the check. You have to ask for it. In general, just take meals more slowly than in the US.

Radio Lingua has a program called Coffee Break French. It’s fun and not difficult. It used to be free, hopefully it still is.

Tonight at 6 pm my neighbor sent a group text to her wife and me. It read, “Honey when will you be home xgf can you come over I’m overwhelmed.” So I got to spend a delightful hour with her two tiny adorable children, and I even got to rock the baby to sleep and smell that baby scent. She kept saying thank you and I…

Prudence just doesn’t understand.

We need details. (Also, a similar thing happened to me just last spring. So weird.)

OMG advertise that way and you’ll make a million.

I think you meant disheveled but dishabille looks a bit like the word shabby. And it’s French so I automatically subconsciously added “chic.” And then add the “delightfully” and “scantily clad” and suddenly we have T.S. Eliot levels of layered meaning. What I’m trying to tell you is that this word worked out far…

I’m having flashbacks to this classmate I let stay in my apt for a few days. One night he and my roommate started talking about frats, and he mentioned that his frat was suspended because “a girl said she was raped.”

I can’t stop laughing at a cat outfit being an invitation for sex. For my cat it’s mostly an invitation to open a can of turkey giblets or accept the gift of a stray dead mouse.

Women and non-whites weren’t allowed to work at McDonald’s until the early 1970s after massive protests.

I called your post dull. That’s not exactly calling you fascist. And I understood your post, I’m just not interested in your personal gun needs. Juvenile and whining? About what? I’m not trying to convince you of anything. Shouting you down? I said you may very well be right about gun sales. I honestly don’t feel the…

hahaha you’re right there.

No, my point was that your long, personal list of the guns, components, and ammo you have and want to have, when you bought or when you will buy it, what it cost and what it should cost was tiresome and dull. My data was your post itself. A comment on your post is not a personal attack; it’s a comment on your post. A…

Your lips to God’s ears.

You made me laugh, but the minute I heard Walmart was doing this I was all, “Isn’t this the same illegal discrimination we all hate?” I’m surprised to find out that this is only illegal in Oregon. The solution, of course, is for Congress to raise the age to purchase firearms to 21. Or maybe 30.

1. I was never debating you. I wrote a single post that called your post dull and which kinja posted twice.

The first sentence from No Longer Amused’s first post:

You can’t possibly be from California. Every third person here moves to work on a farm. Especially a farm like that.

I never had a problem hanging out with conservatives in DC

I love that tall guy believes that it’s the imaginary conservative posters in his bedroom that are turning women off.
