There’s a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall, and the bells in the steeple, too.....

It’s worth mentioning, here, that the medical profession often still ignores women with serious heart issues. Estrogen is protective against a certain type of cardiovascular disease, yes, but women are more likely than men to suffer congenital heart defects (jinni has a couple).

I tried Yoga several times and it is just not for me. I want to like it but I can’t meditate in any form; there is something wrong with me

If the media had taken him more seriously from the beginning, instead of treating him like a harmless goof, maybe he would not be president.

She was trying to be helpful.............to Halperin. She wanted to get his job back. In doing so she made the victims sound like they were in the wrong for refusing to meet with or talk to Halperin (as if they should feel obligated to do so; they shouldn’t). And then she went after the female senators for pressuring…

I think she was trying to be helpful, then realized how dumb she was being and apologized.

Oh, this tugged at my heart strings:

This fuckstick:

I think if I’m saving 15-20 percent of my income, along with paying household bills and essentials, it shouldn’t be any problem at all to maintain my pre-retirement lifestyle. After all, it doesn’t cost that much to sit at a wall and stare.

We’re halfway out of the dark, y’all. Summer can’t come soon enough.

The best scene from Parenthood, performed live at the Chuck E Cheese!

I give up. I’ll be in Berkeley at Happy Hour if anyone needs me! $5 house wine, I am coming for you.

Today at work I had to do payroll time entry for a person who got her time to me late, and then the time entry system crashed. This meant instead of quick, dirty data entry I had to get a form filled and signed by the payee, the manager and the Department Chair, and compose a memo explaining what had happened and then…

Hate to be the devil whispering into your left ear but have you considered just lying to your mom? You went over to check but they didn’t have it, awww.

Luckily, I still have 5 years until 40, so if I literally spend $0 in three of those years, I should definitely have 3X my salary saved up by then.

I tried to make infused bourbon for Christmas presents. I stuffed peeled and sliced ginger root, four cinnamon sticks, and some honey in there a week ago, and all I can taste is the honey. My friends won’t care, we’ll probably kill the bottle Christmas night, but I had some my sister made and it was so much better…

I just ran a holiday party for 24 5th graders. We made tiny gingerbread houses around milk cartons, and sequined ornaments. I am covered in icing and germs. I swear I met the reincarnation of Howard Hughes, who spent the entire party listing all the places the germs were lurking. My daughter’s teacher is a living…

My tummy hurts. So there’s that.

Health care is also my biggest worry

My wife and I have a number and then have tried to work out the amount to save each year and made some assumptions about the market to figure out how to get there. I’m 50, and at this point the actual savings don’t really contribute to our goal in any real sense; it really is just a factor of the market and how our…
