That was me too. I was also just very observant and listened to adults a lot so I would end up with a TON of snippets of information with no context and lots of times I would use my dolls to create scenarios around which I figured "well, this MUST be what that was about..."

I don't hate it, but I really, really don't get why everyone and their uncle is going so nuts over it. It's... fine? When it's on the radio I don't change the channel, but it really isn't worth all the hullaballoo it's getting.

Totally. Time is a major factor. I think a lot of people (including myself in the past) try to shift from romantic to platonic WAY TOO FAST. It needs to happen slowly, in it's own time, after both of you have really healed. You need to get through ALL the steps of getting over someone before trying to be friends.…

Yeah, I think there is a lot in what you said. It's cool to aim for friendly with most of your exes, as long as things didn't go too far south during the breakup,that just keeps life pleasant. If you are going to be FRIENDS it kind of needs to happen naturally with both of you on the same page.

All this. I always find it especially frustrating when in, say, a situation like this the risk could have been significantly reduced by something as simple as stationing a crew person one mile out on either end of the tracks with a cell phone who could call if an unexpected train shows up and give everyone else more…

I kinda run my fingers through- but I basically keep my fingers as far apart as possible and go through as few times as possible after doing the scrunching thing. So basically my hands are a super wide tooth comb.

Your hair can change texture over the course of your life, so yeah, it probably is curlier than it was before. Also having all the weight from butt-length hair probably stretched out any wave or curl you might have had before. The change in humidity will also affect it. So, basically, yes to everything you said. :)

I give it the old Marcia Brady 100 brush stroke before I wash it then again in the shower while the conditioner is doing it's thing to get all the dead hair that has gotten tangled into the curls out. But other than that I never brush it. When I do I look like Rosanna Danadana.

This is how I see it too. If you like the pants, or whatever, great, buy them. It's better the money go to a group trying to help people who are trying to make their lives better then into the pocket of a giant corporation running a sweatshop. But at the same time, you bought pants, you didn't cure society's ills.…

Totally. Also, it's one of those 'This is SO none of your business and basically an illegal question but I know you're asking because you are trying to be nice... So it isn't worth calling you out... But please stop...'

If you want to get super technical, that question violates HIPPA. I know he was trying to be sympathetic, but it isn't any of his business why you get migraines unless you're out of work for more than three days.

Your mama raised you right.

They're pretty popular in the Bay Area, CA, but maybe not other places. So are Spanish coffees, which is coffee with brandy instead of whiskey.

Yep, when I was on tour it was super basic but I gave thanks for our rider every damn day. A person can only eat so much shitty, cardboard pizza.

His rider is totally reasonable. I've been on tour and what people don't get is that you are deciding like, a year out what your entire staff will need every day for however long you will be on the road. Especially given that your crew will only have a big enough break to leave the venue for food maybe 10% of the time…

My mom is a hard core, second wave feminist and she told me if a guy ever asked permission to propose to me or my sister the answer would be no. Because we are adults and asking them for permission is inappropriate as we are not their property. He would also earn permanent side-eye from her forever, even if she…

Ah, I think the other cat is a big part of it. That territory is already claimed. He doesn't really feel safe outside if there's another, strange cat. Keep staying outside with him, even if it isn't potty time. He isn't going to let himself be vulnerable and take a crap until he's confident he's going to be OK. Two…

Or, if you live where I do Jeopardy's crappy follow up

"I got it in my size?..."

I love the polka dot socks!
