It sounds like you are/were in a “starter marriage.” Have you ever heard this term? Google it. It’s a really interesting concept. I have a few friends who were in your situation. Everyone moved on, and the lack of kids helped, but what sucked was as a friend you inevitably have to choose one of the spouses over the…

I have jumped in on a similar conversation before and collierLA and je suis cocopop joined me then, if I’m not mistaken.

It really is a wonderful parade, the music, the floats, the dancing. I’m so white I make Rudy Giuliani look like Al Sharpton (not easy to do!) but I always have a wonderful time.

I have posted this anecdote before under a different username.

Keep on your lesbian toes!

I’ll pass. I’m going to wait for the Justin Bieber version.

I really like Leviticus because after Revelations it’s the most unhinged part of the Bible.

And where is he that he’s wearing a hat? It’s early September. New Zealand? But then there are the shorts…? The big question is not whether there is a God, the big question is where and when was this Justin Bieber photo taken.

Change his image from what to what? I am not a pre-teen girl so I don’t really know much about him.

There was a popular children’s book masquerading as a business self-help manual called “Who Moved My Cheese?” Now I regret that I never read it.

I think that’s how it works in New York. The police are stretched pretty thin at this point, but I think they can ask for continuances, so you might keep showing up several times. And I don’t think it’s like a bakery where you take a number; you show up and sit there for hours until your case is called, and someone…

I think you are right about people buying monstrous minivans and trucks for the sole reason that no one would ever want to borrow one. All my relatives have them. I can’t even conceive of backing one out of a driveway, let alone trying to park one. My sister has a “minivan” that seats EIGHT! Why? She does not drive a…

That’s going to be the image on my Christmas card this year. (My cards are part of my arsenal in my never-ending War on Christmas.)

We do not need any more Britishisms. I look over his work sometimes when he has to write something for his company and he sometimes writes “amongst.” I remind him that we are not 17th-century dissenters from the Church of England so the word is “among.” He also slips in “favour” every so often so I say to him, “If…

I have never heard of this documentary and I don’t know how because a quarter of a century ago I was sentient and was a huge Madonna fan. I guess lack of Internet. I just read about it on wikipedia. Warren Beatty was her boyfriend? Technical foul-ups in Japan? Her father comes onstage and she sings “Happy Birthday” to…

I was at a party a few years ago and got talking to a guy who’s a District Attorney here in Manhattan. Crime was at historically low levels but Wall Street was a little out of control and the crash of 2008 had happened and Bernie Madoff was on trial. So I asked him what his office was most concerned about.

I sometimes go into an office in a part of Manhattan that has two methadone clinics and two large homeless shelters populated, I am reliably told, by current and former heoin addicts. I’ve never tried heroin and I feel so badly for these people. But at least they’re not being locked up and some may be on the way to…

Off topic, were you Randilyn previously? Did you get banned or something and had to create a new account?

I don’t know how my comment ended up here. Kinja’d again.

He may be openly gay now but wasn’t it Madonna herself who outed him? In that Sex book? Am I totally hallucinating this?
