I hate, hate, hate buying a car. Last year I had to get one, and I test drove a ton of cars. I decided on a Nissan Rogue. I found the one I wanted and actually contacted the dealer by email and had, in writing, the car I would get and how much I would pay for it.

PoF said "go on dates!"

hee ha ha. I totally should have said that. I just said that I didn't know when his "due time" was but our time was up.

Tonight in online dating: This guy and I exchange a few emails. OK fine, so I send him my phone number. He sends me this whole long thing about how everything must happen in "due time" and how he's not going to drop everything, call me and ask me out for tonight. Seriously dude, it was a phone call. And the truth…

At my school, the student evaluations are the only thing that matters. Really, in my appraisals and raises, it is the only thing they consider.

Please, at my college, the average grade is an A. They mostly expect to get As just for turning something in.

Teaching jezzies - My students have a paper. I gave them a very, very specific outline for the paper and seven specific suggestions - like, make sure you double check your facts. They are turning in their drafts and not only do they NOT follow the outline, they just completely make up shit in their papers. They…

I thought I'd post something happy here for a change. You know how y'all are always like "What Should I Watch on Netflix Streaming?"

Do you mind my asking what the conference is?

I have reminders set in my phone just for this reason. Yeah, it's a pain.

I am SO jealous! I want to be invited!

Five years ago, I was taking many dance classes, walking everywhere, being fabulous. I got laid off and stopped doing everything. I gained 60 pounds and am now a size 24.

A terrarium party? That is a fantastic idea! Tell me more.

Look, I'm not a fan of the men. But this one is on you as well. Being a grown-up sucks. This is part of it.

Put on your big girl pants and tell him. You're continuing to respond to him and so you're giving mixed signals. Just tell him that it's not working out for you and you're going to move on and you wish the best for him. And then DON'T RESPOND to anything else.

I ditto the podcasts. Also, Ambien. It only knocks me out for four hours, but still, so worth it.

I live vicariously through the food. I don't want no cheese and crackers! I want the appetizer stations!

Not to be dumb, but wouldn't it be cheaper to rent a car for a week? Wouldn't your insurance reimburse you while your car is fixed?

See I thought most shows couldn't steam to the tv.
