I was a moody, mouthy little shit who took every opportunity of showing off my stunning lack of knowledge and intelligence at the expense of other people's feelings. My parents and I get along great now, but we fought a lot of flat out ignored each other when I was a teenager.

I was a smart-assed know-it-all asshole as a teenager - I wish my parents had had the option of sending me to an island until I could be a decent human being with some empathy for other humans.

Oops - "So much FOR..." that is. I am not good at the typing thing.

What an opportunistic pile of puke this woman is. How can you trade mark a man's dying words? Why would anyone think that was a good idea? So much empathy and decency.

I would love to offer to help - even if just to give the parent(s) a break - but does any parent of a crying infant actually want a perfect stranger walking their little darling up and down the aisle talking nonsense to it? Because if I thought they might, I would absolutely offer to give them a break (and sometimes…

I LOVE my Bose noise-cancelling headphones. Best money for my sanity I've ever spent.

Oh, those crazy circus/pairs skating kids....

I know it's hard to think before you post things, but seriously, Madonna, THINK BEFORE YOU POST. Deleting your "Artistic Rape! Terrorism!" post after the fact is pointless - your stupid comments will live forever on the Internet. There is no way you don't know that by now.

Nothing says surprise like a "Surprise! Defend Yourself Against This Asshole" meeting.

Yep - and then you get to explain yourself to people who will, in my experience, make you feel like a big whiny crybaby and the only outcome will be a bullet point list of what YOU can do to make sure the asshole doesn't have to actually change their behaviour in any way. And they'll get promoted because after all…

Thanks! Now I just have to develop some musical inclination and start writing music and lyrics about how great vaccinating is.

Well, those other medications have commercials showing happy people - sometimes with puppies and sailboats! Maybe if vaccines had commercials with catchy jingles and happy looking people, more people would trust them. The TV never lies.

This is the part I don't get - he gets a magazine spread and an interview to "apologise" some more - what do his victims get? You know, besides no justice whatsoever and apologies that are completely meaningless? Why is this jackhole getting any air time to talk about how sorry he is?

Yeah, but they are thinking REALLY HARD. And, let's give them some credit here, they've "engaged in dialogue" - clearly there is more than just thinking here, there is also some talking.

"Vagina", for me, is a clinical term - and I couldn't do anything but giggle my fool head off if a guy tried to be all sexy about using it, "Ooh, your vagina is so wet and tight."

I'm not sure anything can wash out the taste of a week-long feast of shit, but me and the beer in the fridge are going to give it our best shot.

Which version do you prefer? I'm a fan of the Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison version. It's on Netflix here in Canada right now, so I am binge watching it like crazy :D

Toad in the hole is awesome. As is Yorkshire pudding.... I am so hungry right now.

It's a toss up between shepherd's pie with a buttload of gravy, and grilled cheese with potato chips. And while I dig in to the comfort food, I watch The Ghost and Mrs Muir because I want to marry Captain Greg and live Gull Cottage FOREVER.

I wish Boone, Elwood and Dodge had lived WAAYYYY longer. I miss my fuzzy buddies. :(
