Last year I was on my way back from Florida after having flown down to visit my Grandma. On the flight between Charlotte, NC & Dayton, OH, I had to use the aircraft restroom. I generally try to avoid aircraft lavs b/c they are dirty, dirty germ pits, but it was unavoidable.

Or a menstrual cup, for that matter?

My parents used to own a clothing store in my very small hometown. I was in elementary school at the time & when they had to work on weekends, I was too young to leave home by myself. They were long days sometimes & occasionally my parents would get takeout to eat in the back room instead of waiting to go home &…

You should check out Global Gardens if you like the really good olive oils. http://www.globalgardensonline.com/ They have the most awesome olive oils I have had, although when I can't afford to shop from there Trader Joe's does in a pinch. Some of the TJ's oils are very nice. I'm addicted to the Koroneiki,…

And for the record, Mike Ness is still one hell of a badass. And I may or may not still have an enormous crush on him to this very day.

Ah yes, the 80's & 90's. My formative years. Here is my offering. Still a damned good song today. I was lucky enough to see Social D in concert when this album came out. They were on tour with Sonic Youth & Neil Young, that was one hell of a concert. I had backstage passes to it thanks to a friend of mine who…

That is beautiful!

Whoa. I have mad respect for you if you knitted that! I have yet to tackle lace, but someday I'd like to try.

My upright vacuum does have a name though. Her name is Sucette, French for lollipop/pacifier/sucker... Get it? Yeah, it's bad. She was expensive enough I felt she deserved a name. Last year after tax season I caved & bought a Dyson DC41 pet hair vacuum & I have zero regrets, zero. She is…

Haha, true. It's not bags of hair & 15 years of junk mail, I suppose. I am soon to move in with my fiance & he knows how much kitchen crap is coming with me & he told me he's a little frightened.

I have the All Clad copper core cookware too, if that is what you're referring to. I've had it for less than a year, so I have not yet put anything in the dishwasher. I have resisted so far. But if you want to give it a go, ketchup works great as a copper polish. My rings have acquired a patina over the last 10…

I seriously don't know what I would do without my two dogs to "pre-rinse" the dishes for me before putting them in the dishwasher. It cuts out so much work, I can't imagine having to actually do that by hand. Thank heavens for dogs.

I think I have severe issues with acquisition of kitchen utensils, dish sets & cooking implements of all kinds. I live alone by myself & have informal service for 12 in grey porcelain from Crate & Barrel as well as service for 12 for my informal silverware as well. I also have full service for 12, along with the…

I can honestly say I got my fiance from Amazon.com. For real. We met in the video game discussion forum there years ago & were infrequent online gaming friends. I was married during this time & a few years ago my ex-husband cheated on me & I decided to move on. He was emotionally & verbally abusive on top of the…

That's awesome! Sounds like that gentleman takes a lot of pride in what he does, as he should, & that his workplace values him. And kudos to your partner for working in a field supporting developmentally delayed adults.

Yay! You saw my comment! Will you be a regular contributor to Jezebel's mainpage? I really enjoy your writing, on subjects both trans and not.

I am a lowly, unworthy grey, so I'm sure you'll never see this, but... I wanted to add my congratulations to those already offered. You deserve the bump up to being official & it's great to see you get that recognition. Congratulations Kyosuke!

Also, yes, he is very aware of peoples' opinions of him and has expressed many times his sadness at being treated like he was incapable of basic understanding. It really gets to him when people dismiss him because of his disadvantages. It was actually a bully at his former job who I believe basically tortured him…

Oh, I know you weren't saying people like my brother were stupid. My saying that in reaction to what you posted was merely a reaction to said hypothetical idiot speaking in the fixed version. It really is sad because so many people treat disabled people, both physically and mentally, elderly people, poor people,…
