If I could just get a heads up for the 2x/year when it’s full of awesome stuff, and could skip the rest of the year’s ugly shit- Is that so much to ask?

DAD! Mom is embarrassing me on the internet again!

I remember having a conversation with a guy friend about how frustrating it was that no matter how many times I said “I’m not interested in a serious/committed/long-term relationship”, I had guys professing their love within weeks. His take is that guys feel like in the current dynamic, women hold all the cards- she…

Wait, I’m confused. Are we supposed to be mad at the broken medical establishment for over-medicating us (vaccines, anti-depressants, etc) just to make money when obviously all that could be cured with raw organic vegan diets, or are we mad because they won’t create drugs for a disease that isn’t even well defined?

Oh man, that book gave me nightmares. Reading it felt incredibly graphic; I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the movie.

Also, I don’t care how hard anyone’s 16 year old daughter has been prepping for Sea World, it was extremely unlikely to happen. She should be grateful, because now there’s option A: daughter goes on to do something worthwhile with her life (like real marine biology! We can always use more good women!) and she looks…

God knows what any of our mail carriers think.

What’s funny is that the woman they’re sending it to IS deceased. After numerous “return to sender, deceased” notices, I called them, talked to their very nice receptionist and explained that as that woman has been dead for 3 years, she’s never, ever going to sign up for their prepayment plan. We had a laugh about it.…

Oh trust me, I’ve tried everything over the past 2 years. Return to Sender, calling customer service, emailing customer service, “online chat” service, etc. Anthropologie, BabiesRUs, and Veterans’ Cremation Services are the only 3 out of about 100 that I haven’t been able to get rid of.

Trust me, the ones wearing $600 Anthropologie dresses while bike riding are way more likely to be riding on the sidewalk than those of us who actually use our bikes regularly to get from point A to point B.

That’s a thought. Calling customer service certainly hasn’t worked.

Guilty as charged.

In fairness, Powell’s is really worth a visit for out-of-towners.

The ones who live in Beaverton but claim to live in Portland

That’s my question, too. That store has been there for a long time.

and then there’s the other 99% of women riding bikes in Portland. I guess that makes us the non-Antho girls?

I think everybody who doesn’t really know Portland that well talks about how cool the Pearl is, but really it’s full of non-interesting stores and retired people. Seriously, the median age of Pearl residents must be about eighty.

I live in Portland, and I’m confused, there’s been an Anthropologie in downtown Portland forever. I’m not really into twee so I’ve never been in, but I know it’s there because it’s next door to Powell’s and I do go there.

...and that just about sums up everything wrong with the Republican party. UGH.

He just really wants to, you know, really create a community-friendly space where people can feel, like, their souls are welcome to exist.
