Not physically, but we sure as shit assaulted each other verbally. My point was — and is — people can sometimes, if they try very, very hard and have a large measure of dumb luck, make it through inauspicious beginnings.

Yup, I know that folks think the speed and trajectory of this relationship is crazy and while it may be, it also might not be quiiiiite as fucked up as it seems. My beloved and I were volatile as hell for our first few years. That includes a year and a half of dating, then marriage, then baby two years into the…

PS You two rule. Having a thoughtful, compassionate discussion rather than flaming/getting defensive. Kudos to you both. Were it cocktail hour, I’d raise a glass to you.

I SO agree with you about this. This transition is about her becoming fully her, not about derogating others in order to raise herself up. Truly, why can’t she have this positivity without others needing to translate it into negativity towards others. I suppose this makes me sound very touchy-feely and soft-hearted,…

You all are missing the most important point of all: DELROY FUCKING LINDO. I know I’m swimming against the tide on this one, but I’ve always had an inexplicable mad, mad, mad crush on Delroy Lindo (c’mon. say it aloud....) and any chance to see him is good.

Please o please give us the follow up. Please make sure she wasn’t fired and/or disciplined, because that guy sure as shit deserved what she did.

Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm. And did I mention Wowza?

Please explain. I didn’t know that and still don’t. Evidence, please.

I commend you for your creative solution. If I were behind you and could figure out another place to put my bag of stuff fer flying, I’d be so down with your girl being there. And I probably would have found that super cozy and appealing when I was a tyke. That being said, whoa sister on the defensive responses! These…

You know, I once went to a community meeting with a few of our state reps and they said that they do respond to constituent views when there’s a clear margin. Squeaky wheel and all that. They told us that on issues where there was hue and cry directed to them, they listened. Granted, those were state reps and I don’t…

Noooooooo! He always seemed kind and thoughtful, not just delectably beefy. To find out that he’s a Republican makes me want to sit in a dark, cool room watching Stephen Colbert for a few hours to cleanse my palate.

Holy shit. Can I just say Ryan Adams gives “Summer of ‘69” a gravitas I never thought it could have. I’ve always loved his music, but been sorry that he couldn’t laugh at himself. Glad he’s grown a much-needed ability to laugh at himself.

This is the internet, people. If we get it together, we can plant 3 or 4 trees. Anyone good at that logistical stuff that I suck at? I’ll kick in $10. Happily. With love in my heart.

Ah! A visitor from the planet where breastfeeding endangers and inconveniences others! Because, guess what? On this planet, no one, no how is endangered OR inconvenienced when a mother feeds a hungry baby. Certain people with unresolved Jocasta conflicts may be squicked out when they see a baby breast feeding, but…

So sorry for the experience you had to endure. You capture, so eloquently, why we should make actual living, breathing women our priority. It’s clear that Brownback and the rest of those malignant, destructive fuckwits believe that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain…

Well, nope. You’re wrong about it being cheaper than National. I fly fairly regularly from the west coast and Dulles is always cheaper than National. Which is a hassle, as National is closer to where I go, but there you have it. And yes, I check each time.

Gabapentin is geat — except when it isn't. In me, it caused the mostbsudden and severe episode of depression I've ever experienced. As in, all I could do was lie on the couch and cry. Couldn't go to work, couldn't get through a fucking sentence, much less function. Seriously scary shit. My doc took me off of it very…

Ah. My apologies for the sarcasm. I misinterpreted your comment and thought that the two comments were connected. I still disagree with you, but am sorry for the snark.

Yeah. Let's talk smack about the ravages of the aging process on women. Because that's not sexist or anything.

I went to their FB page. The post is still up, amazingly enough, but the comments are heartening. I added my voice to the lot and told them that the only thing to do now is apologize profusely, admit ignorance, and donate all net income from this season to Idle No More or other deserved and appropriate organizations.…
