I've lived and worked in all areas of the country (from backwoods Western NY to liberal SoCal to deep North Carolina), and no one I've served or served with has ever messed with anyone's food or dining experience as a result of their appearance or transitional status. Granted, I am a fairly vocal ally of the LGBT+…

I'm not one to have feels for kids (I have a kid, and I like that kid, but most kid-stuff is pretty meh for me), but this got me.
Sidenote: How very like drunk adult arguments this is. No, seriously, it's sprinkling, dude. And semi-sober friend in the middle trying to make everything okay and calm. Love it.

I would watch that show. Every day. And I would write letters by hand (because they would appreciate that) thanking them for their insights.

*boop*
Followed.

Why? What? What is this thing and how? What do I even do with myself, now? How can I continue this sham of a life? I want to dance like that, too! And then I want to climb up his stringbean body and kiss his weird, beautiful face all over. Too much? Sorry, yes. Still processing.

Derailing to say: I love Retta. 4evah.

I dvr'd it, and erased each ep after watching (while hub was asleep), figuring That Man wouldn't want to watch it. I came home from work the other week to find him watching a marathon of it on Starz. Now we watch it together. *shrug* Interesting note: That Man is a Republican Gun Owner Retired Army Fellow. So, all…

Do you have a WalMart near you, and an email account where I can send a gift card (and ideally, a printer—maybe at the library—where you can print out the gift card)? It's Walmart, so you know, that sucks, but most of them are supermarkets, too, so five bucks spent there is five bucks of food, you know?

Your aunt is doing good work. This anonymous internet stranger gives her kudos. I went to school in Southern California with various child actors (no one "famous", mostly commercial actors) and found them to be regular kids for the most part. I credit folks like your aunt, because some of their parents were ca-razy.

The pony is in there, girl! Keep shoveling!

I am also an old (43), and I can't imagine a dating scene that includes regular exposure to dickwads like the guy in the original post. I can imagine their internal monologue going this way, but to barf it all out there in text like that? Doesn't he know that the internet is forever? Sheesh. I join itscocopop in…

Different times, man. Heh. Well, whoever it was who de-greyed me, my ultimate thanks.

I got my family's favorite stir-fried rice recipe from Heloise! Marvelous. Thanks for the ungreying and the further information. :) I love this site.

You have revolutionized my Thanksgiving (favorite holiday). I might just buy a turkey when the chill starts (still too hot to slow roast meats here) to practice before the Big Day. Thank you!

Also from CA, also confounding people with the gender-neutral use of the word "dude" in a state that is decidedly *not* CA. I just wanted to support you, Ladybug. ;)

I joined Kinja specifically to star your post, CA. I love this blog. Thank you.
