I’m going to miss Jezebel if it slips beneath the waves of the bankruptcy crap that Gawker has created. I’ve read nearly every article since Jezebel’s birth though I don’t comment a lot. This place has done more for keeping this ‘mature’ woman current on what you younger generations of women are thinking and feeling…
I’m turning 60 in a week. I grew up as a happy hippie with hard drinking middle class educated Social Drinker parents, they were far from sloppy drunks but very consistent martini fans. I felt superior with my Marlboro pack full of joints, and used to trot around the hippie hangouts telling folks ‘don’t drink that…
Aww, it’s hard to lose a good chicken, RIP. Some of us truly enjoy keeping a small batch of eggmakers Here’s my crew of clucksters, Ms Erin Brawkovitch, Ms Samantha Eggster, and of course their handsome Rooster, Cogburn. Chickens are cool, and endlessly amusing!
Sunday mornings with all the ladies of Saturday Night Socials always gives me so many feels! I’ve been reading Jezebel for so many years I feel like a small part of the family. I don’t comment often, though I do in my head! When I do comment, it’s usually on a thread about animals, I am the retired horse trainer…
I am a very chesty old gal who rarely breaks out of a slow amble nowadays, but this would have helped in my youth. I used to train and show a lot of different styles of horses, and while I rode daily in any kind of big tight bra, I needed more help in the show ring in classes where you are judged on looks, balance and…
I MUST see this! Anyone know when it might hit Netflix? For I was a proud Tower Records Store clerk TWICE: at the Anehiem Ca store in the mid 70's (it was my first real grown up official job).I had the world’s greatest boss there, until he left to manage the Hollywood CA store. I wanted to go with him soooo bad, but…
They’re cute, unless you actually live somewhere with a bunch of them. In over-populated deer areas, they are road hazards. And landscape or garden desimators. Truthfully? A bunch of deer in your own ‘hood are going to really annoy you, and I’d hate to see your County or State taxes raised in a futile attempt to…
Oh you GO, Girl.. I have an inkling of what you are going through. I too am pretty isolated and dealing with goofy landlords who own multiple properties here in the rural areas of AZ. Thankfully they’re just goofy and petty in their slumlordiness, not mean or intimidating (I’m pretty hard to intimidate being as I am a…
Where are the kitties to complement this host? Well I know where Smitty-Bitty is, she’s right here. She turned 1 last week, and looks smug about it. (As you can see, my Saturday includes Busch beer and generic Cheetos.) Happy Weekend all!
Nooooo, this is just plain stupid. It will not reanimate one single dead elephant, and as someone already commented it’s going to RAISE THE PRICE OF IVORY! That’s enough Internet for today, Stupidity wins, we all lose.
Get a dog. I know that sounds way too simplistic, but if you really really REALLY love dogs and want one.. maybe you could move somewhere where you don’t have to say you can’t have one? Barring that as a possibility, maybe you could volunteer at a dog rescue or shelter? I am 60, and can’t imagine a life without…
I live in AZ, and I’m an old survivalist. I’m truly glad this lady was rescued and she and her pets will all be ok, but I have to agree (and paraphrase) a comment below; She got lucky. This past 10 days, the weather has been great, not too hot in the day, not freezing hard at night, and just enough rain having rained…
My maiden name is a bit unusual, and was very easy to make fun of when I was growing up. I married a man with a really common simple last name, had a son, and divorced when my son was very young. I kept his last name since it was my son’s and I was a somewhat eccentric single mom in a small town. Back then I was truly…
Ahem. Sigh, drool.
Oh my adorable brave little Jezzies! IMHO, you may be masochists. Beautiful, plucked-waxed-squeezed-threaded-botoxxed or tattooed masochists, but masochists! Why in the world do you submit to PAIN in the name of beauty otherwise? Did it get you a better job? Did it rev up your social life? Has it made you a…
Weeee, controversy! I’m enjoying the comments, and am going to throw in my 2 cents. I am OLD, single, and probably not physically attractive anymore to 90% of the male sex. But in my day, oh in my day, I was a smokin hot footloose and very successful carouser. I’ve probably forgetten more guys I hooked up with than…
How do you separate the Natural from the Body Shame? And how do you allow your children to see sexualized bodies on videos or movies or the Internet and still try to teach them Modesty?
What haunts me most is I almost got her dog killed? Quick background- I’d had a few great longterm relationships and a LOT of casual flings, and I rarely ever felt a twinge of ‘jealous’. Then at age 30 and mourning the death of (at least the very 1st) The One.. I left my lightweight and happy lifestyle as a bartender…
I am VERY fond of Red Beer, aka the poor people’s bloody mary. A tall glass, a long straw, any brand of beer combined with at least 30% V-8 and a very liberal dash of Tobasco or it’s equivilent. In the cold of Winter, it’s the warmy beer. In the heat of Summer, it’s the hangover/startup beer. Sriracha or Valantina’s…
Mother’s Little Helper’ written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, recorded by The Rolling Stones and released in 1966. Aint nothing new under the sun, huh.
