Her voice doesn’t help. It’s like, falsely deep and just sounds like she practices enunciating every night before bed. It’s always made me want to throttle her.

I totally get what you mean about exercise seeming too easy and obvious. It’s like, if I’m feeling good enough to go for a walk, I’m already feeling pretty good. For me it’s more useful for maintaining a decent mood than for getting me out of a hole.

I so agree about making friends with old people, or at least listening to what they have to say. It’s funny, it’s taken me getting older myself to realize how much wisdom comes with age. Like, if I’ve learned X amount about life at age 43, just think how much an 85 y.o. knows. Experience and time mean so much.

Hey Judas, I’ve been dealing with atypical depression since I was 18. In fact, I will be spending today in my jammies instead of going to a Mother’s Day bbq held partially in my honor. So obviously I’m having a hard time with it today, if my thoughts seem disjointed that’s why, and I’m really sorry.

“Gardening naked” stopped me cold. As a hippie child in the 70's, I was often naked outdoors. Until one day at age 4, when I decided I wanted to put my panties back on while we were playing on a friend’s deck. Unfortunately a wasp had crawled into them.

This might be the best comment I’ve ever seen. I’m awed.

Nice!!!

I’m just disappointed because this is the first new band I’ve liked in maybe a decade. I made a concerted effort to look for new music this year, stumbled upon PWR BTTM, and just really dug their sound. Back to the drawing board...

I will try to tread carefully here but I could kind of understand how this might happen, that someone could have sex without realizing the other person didn’t consent. I’m old and out of touch but don’t a lot of colleges (esp progressive schools like Bard), etc have policies that require an actual spoken “yes” for…

I don’t mind using singular “they” if someone prefers it but it does get confusing in certain contexts. Weren’t some people using “ze” as a gender neutral pronoun? I haven’t heard it in a while but I thought it was a clever idea.

Is that yours? That’s a seriously sweet face!

Yeah, maybe he’s young enough that he won’t remember. Especially if Trump isn’t president much longer. Fingers crossed....

My kids are 14, 13, and 8. While the older 2 will definitely remember Obama, it kills me to think there’s a huge group of kids who will grow up thinking this is normal.

I thought John Hamm was Napoleon Dynamite? I’m thinking I was mistaken. Whoever this is he’s given me feelings. Good god I’m lonely.

This is amazing, you made my day with this! I’m just sad I missed it live.

There’s a musical version of Heathers? I must Google immediately. But I remembered the dead gay son line from the movie. It must be in both?

Ha, yes! 8 million years ago, when I was in h.s., my friend’s mom brought me back a pair of edible undies from vacation (as a joke!). They were exactly fruit roll-ups. I know this because one day I got really hungry and ate them while I was driving somewhere.

Oh yeah, I highly doubt God ever enters the picture on the troop level, especially since we’re in a fairly liberal town. But honestly, even if religion was incorporated once in a while, I don’t think that would outweigh all the benefits of scouting. My brother is also atheist and he had a great experience with it.…

Not that I can really talk though, being from a “Blue Wall” state that ended up going for Trump.

I’m wondering if this is because Boy Scouts have God-type stuff in their manifesto. Or something, all I know is my militantly atheist husband doesn’t want our sons to join bc of the religious angle. Maybe Girl Scouts is too secular for this church? Or the Archbishop is just a blatant misogynist, whichever.
