I know so many white women -of all ages- who absolutely loathed Hilary. And they couldn’t articulate why. They just didn’t like her. I’ve always been ambivalent towards her - she’s a politician just like any other. My mom was one of those women. Eventually I decided that what bugged them was that Hilary was one of…

The right to free speech only applies to governmental entities. This concerns the right to privacy.

I’m not sure about our kids saving the world, but I do agree that Gen X has a lot of blame in this whole mess. We have just let Baby Boomers continue to run things into the ground, heads down, hoping to just get out in one piece. That’s not enough. We need to take a stand.

Many people with sleep apnea are overweight, it isn’t a pre-requisite. I am slightly overweight, hardly snore, but I have mild sleep apnea. It has to do with the shape of my jaw and the soft tissue in the back of my throat ( apparently it is all flabby - they haven’t told me if there are weight lifting regimens to…

If you tell Siri that she is useless to you, she’ll reply, “That wasn’t very nice.”

No, I mean employing techniques recommended by therapists. I have OCD. I have to do things like this so that I don’t have a complete breakdown. I take medication, and it takes the edge off, but it is still there. And will always be. Being alive and trying to interact with society “feeds” the problem. But thanks…

This is addressing her neurosis.

I think there is a sub-category that is a combo of 2 and 3 - single, middle-aged women who have accepted their spinsterhood and are fine with it, but still want their own house. I fall squarely in this group. And I think it makes sense to have a smaller home. There are a lot of single women, and while apartment living…

I love the ones that are 600-800 sq ft- they have proper bedrooms and a decent sized bathroom. They are the perfect size for me and my cat.

Yeah, I think the problem is all the generalizations. Like, people from the Midwest aren’t adventurous regarding foods...I laughed when wild game and other “poor people food”* starting becoming popular for restaurants to specialize in. Sorry, poor people have been eating ALL the animal for centuries. Waste not,…

I love the Taco Bell/KFC combos. So I can get my Mexican Pizza minus meat AND a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. It’s nirvana.

Your experience is my experience. The conversations I have with my family/friends in my hometown, versus friends where I live is so, so different. And when I try to just be me - meaning talk about the things that interest me - people from my hometown look at me me like I just beamed down from a spaceship. They used…

No. Marius and Cosette were not good either. To be honest, Hugh Jackman was a big disappointment too.

Where “black-on-black” crime is an issue - like Chicago - it is talked about. There have been conversations about it for years. And as someone pointed out already, people asking why we don’t talk about it derails the conversation we are trying to have. Which is about police brutality and racism. It also completely…

Baby bats in little sleeping bags! My heart!

There are still northbound entrance ramps on the Dan Ryan. I’ve taken them.

I just got home from seeing it. I’m 41 years old and I cried the whole way home. Young Boozy wanted to be Wonder Woman. I have waited my whole life for this movie, to see a strong female Superhero. Adult Boozy would settle for just being an Amazon.

Haha! I’ve always loved Wonder Woman, but Black Widow was creeping up there in my affections. She’s solidly second place, no question.

The two retail establishments I worked at - one was a small, family-owned chain (20 or so stores in the state), and the other was a big box department store. Both places tried to tell me that I was supposed to come in a half hour early to open and leave a half hour late to close. I laughed and laughed, then just…

I wish I could star this more! I have lumps and bumps on my head, and a flat spot probably because my mom let me lay on my back too much when I was a baby.
