Agreed. I miss being able to wake up slightly later certain days, to have a 2- or 3-hour lunch break between classes, or to finish up at 3pm two days a week. And one does have choice in one’s work an classes. What I don’t miss is paying the equivalent of an entry-level salary for that student experience.
I suspect the…

Enjoy the fancy and the fun!

It’s a girl it’s a girl it’s a girl I’m having a baby girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

Loved the opening with Maya, Tina & Amy. It may be all downhill from here.

To clarify: Ketamine may be used with patients whose *symptoms* are resistant to treatment, not that they themselves are resistant. The wording of that sentence could be interpreted both ways.

I’m solely convinced Bacardi 151 only exists for 18-year-olds to feel “badass” for consuming such high-proof liquor, only to realize how foolish that choice is after one or two bad nights and switch to less insane beverage choices by the time they turn 19. 

Hey Jezzies, can we talk about anxiety? I’m having a rough go of it lately and I don’t quite know if I need treatment or medication or just better coping skills.

Around 1986 on the subway in D.C., my five-year-old daughter & I got on & saw a guy who had been stabbed just a few minutes before, bleeding profusely from the abdomen. He yelled at everyone on the train, then saw that a transit cop was coming for him, so he started running. His injuries looked severe, but I never…

I’ve ridden the NYC subway system pretty much 7 days a week at all hours for the last 30 years and I’ve never seen anyone masturbating. However, long ago, a disheveled panhandler came through my subway car with his penis exposed. I was standing and gave him a dollar and said, “You’re kind of...hanging out down…

15 years ago I was fresh out of college and newly arrived in NYC. My daily commute involved the F train which was, and still remains, the sewage train of the NYC transit system. On my way to work one morning at around 8am, the train wasn’t super crowded for some reason so I had an unencumbered view of the doors as I…

This one isn’t so much gross or horrible but sadly weird. London underground about 15 years ago. Middle of the day, a young man wearing only ragged shorts, no shoes gets on the tube sits down opposite me and starts rubbing a croissant all over his body while muttering to himself. He seems to really be trying to…

No, but I saw a dude jerking off on the subway, tho! Thirty-something guy in a nice summer suit and with an attache case on his lap. Pulled his dick right out of his pants and went to town underneath the attache. Love you, NYC!

I used to ride public transit so much that all the bad smells and inconveniences have sort of blended together at this point. I thought of myself as being pretty numb to the horribleness of it all. One day though, a man sat down next to me on a crowded bus in dirty, smelly clothes holding his backpack in front of him.…

14 yrs ago. 11PM. F train.

A man smoking crack out of a pipe which isn’t that crazy. Also several people riding in between cars to shoot up or smoke (at least they stepped outside?)

This seems like the perfect opportunity to share this picture, which has captivated me for the past few days:

The day we didn’t have to eat those imposter Hydrox was a day of pure joy. Except my father refused to allow us to buy them for some period of time because in his mind it was so synonymous with lard that he couldn’t quite wrap his mind around the change. 

I’M IN THE GREYS so it’s like why even post but...

Well folks, I had a baby this week. 10 days before her due date, actually. Labor was extremely fast (less than 1.5 hours from start to finish) and we BARELY made it to the hospital (I seriously almost had her in the car), partly because we had to wait 20 min for my mother in law to show up from SIX BLOCKS away to…

Hey everybody! Happy New Year!
