I agree with Maryannsue - I almost didn’t go on a second date with my husband too, and I’m so glad I pushed past it and did. In fact, we just had a fantastic day together today! It’s the best relationship of my life. Also on our second date we got into deeper, more meaningful discussions. I had a “well, nothing to…

Wohoo! SNS is early tonight! Rachel, can you get me out of the grays? I’ve been posting these Resistance threads before and after I lost my burner, and it will be helpful if more people can see them...

I count 138 characters. If he had replaced “w/” with “with”, it would have been 140 exactly. It seems almost intentionally disrespectful to use an abbreviation like that; why the odd informality unless it doesn’t really matter?

I used to have a low opinion of dating apps. From conversations with friends, they seemed to be terrible for everyone: men felt like women held all the cards (they’e inundated with attention, and only respond to the hottest guys); they don’t meet anyone; the women feel weird (they’re inundated with attention — but…

I’m living on mostly rice, these days, but still subscribe to the New Yorker.

New Yorker just came in the mail.

All Republican voters are either ignorant or malevolent. They either don’t understand what they’re doing or, worse, they do.

I’ve told this story a lot but never in Kinja so I’ll share it here: I had to play “My Heart Will Go On” on the trumpet in 5th grade and it was real torture.

The Gabourey thing pisses me off to no end. That happened to me, a few times, but the first time I noticed was at a Ralph Lauren store when I was 18. No one would pay attention to me b/c I am “ethnic”, had a sundress on w/my hair pulled back and no makeup. The only time they acknowledged me was when I realized WTF was…

Sexual. Sexy. Sex!

A girl who was seemingly conceived, incubated, hatched, trained, conditioned and indoctrinated to be an object of sexual desire as the sole purpose of her existence and her only contribution to society is saying that she doesn’t get to be objectified enough? Do I have the right read on this one?

I made it to 1:07 and I feel like I deserve some kind of reward for that.

Same. In addition to 40 Days and 40 Nights, I went to see Hollywood Homicide with Josh Hartnett and Harrison Ford IN THE THEATER. Worse, I went with my dad, thinking it would be a fun action flick, only to be ambushed by an awkwardly long sex scene involving Harrison Ford and a donut.

I gave birth last Saturday, when I was only 25 weeks along, because my high blood pressure turned into preeclampsia and then HELLP syndrome in a matter of days. Original plan was to keep me at the hospital for as many weeks as possible before delivery, but my labs turned bad and then worse and doctors think I would…

I’m a woman who’s smoked weed for nearly 40 years now. I’m no exemplar of society, but I’m a college graduate, mother of two successful sons, civil servant of 20 years, happily married homeowner.

Bob Newhart is the reigning champion of great series ending: comedy category. The final episode of Newhart’s second sitcom revealed in its last scene that the entire series was a bad dream that his character from his first sitcom was having. No one has topped the meta brilliance of that yet.

I remember back in season one where Hannah spent the weekend with that doctor. I had a very similar life circumstance (not motivated by trash) and the way it was staged, written, and preformed just KILLED me. It’s rare that I feel that kind of guttural reaction to television.

I am getting my dad’s unopened Star Wars figures from the 70's..... Well, I have to fight my sister for them.....

I have two life updates for you:
