A star for cockwombles

Thanks, Mimi!

I love this! And you have a great best friend and you ARE a great best friend because you appreciate her!

Thank you, Basic Witch. I think I am and I just hate it when people take but don’t give. It really chaps my ass.

Thank you! It really hurt my feelings, made me feel like shit when she didn’t show up for me or support me. I kept replaying things in my mind, thinking of it when I couldn’t sleep, etc. But ever since I “broke up” with her and got to say my piece...poof! All those negative thoughts vanished.

I gave this friend a “backstage pass” into my life, which means to me: I don’t clean up before you come over, I’m super open and honest, I share, I show up for you. I loaned her all my black tie clothes for events, got her set up with people that could help her, went for walks with her, listened to her troubles,…

Nope. 8 night cruise to wherever they sailed. 

Good Lord, skip Carnival. That’s the one and only cruise we went on, because we “won” it at a charity auction. Shudder. 

We went on our first one last year. I had mild nausea the whole time—not seasickness, but definitely it curbed my appetite. We found the regular food that is included your cruise to be kind of gross—-or maybe it was the crowds, the long lines, the singing and dancing during the dinners? It was not appetizing to us at…

Last year’s polar vortex broke me. I made sure to schedule gigs in warm weather locales for this winter. #neveragain

Hi, I would like to offer a hearty FUCK YOU to people complaining that adults or schools are pushing these teenagers into this activism. That is simply a way to dismiss what they are doing, and to drain some of the power from their movement. I have seen people in the left doing this! Not just the expected garbage from…

For some reason during all my pregnancies, when I was as sick as Princess Kate and barfing nonstop, watching “Friends” reruns is the only thing that would soothe me in between hurling into the bucket that was on the floor next to my couch. It was weirdly powerful.

This is always on my to-do list when I’m hosting a party: drive to Sonic, go thru their drive-thru, and get a shitton of ice.

My thought for the millionth time since 2016:

The Mayor of our city, one of the biggest in the country, comments on the public schools ALL THE TIME. And gets involved all the time. Kicks off the start of the school year, etc., etc. You better believe the Mayor’s office has something to say about it’s public schools.

Joan, this article of yours sucks. It meanders, it’s mean-spirited without punching upwards, it reveals nothing new, it misses the entire point of our current political reality (is it satire??), and it seems like you just realized you had a rapidly-approaching deadline to turn in a 750-word essay, so you scrambled,…

Send the same takeout reporter who talked to Mayor Pete about his fav beers to talk to him about this please. Slightly more impactful.

Yes, precisely. It reminds me of people who go to church every single Sunday out of rote habit: they check that box and can tell themselves they’re being “good.” My in-laws are like this. They think it’s a mortal sin to skip Mass, yet do absolutely nothing of kindness or generosity towards others every other day of…

Sadly. that isn’t good enough. I used to be heavily involved in a gun violence prevention group, on a national, state and local level. I quit because the CONSTANT refrain was, “well at least we’re doing SOMEthing” even if that something was wearing a t-shirt, taking a selfie and posting it online after every mass…
