I have a friend who always dates way up. The guys are much younger and very handsome. Then she has these one-sided relationships with them, making them cookies, following them around. She'll find one who is happy to have her support him financially (while he cheats on her when she works constantly) but you can't tell…

Of course!!!! This story must be written!!!

Oh, and the fucking tanning bed. How could I forget that?

I would read this. The little dog barking. The New Jersey couple. Plus, I love the way you write. 'bloating after lunch'. It's just too great a story.

Do it! I hope you write back that you got her job.

You have got to write an article about these ebay bosses. I think jezebel should pick the craziest bosses and have each person write a real piece about what it was like.

Wow. I think I was sued by your boss. I had a lawyer who was so abusive I ended up in tears and couldn't testify and the judge threw me out of the proceedings.

These magazines have got to be losing money. It's Kardashian PR on every rag. As if people don't get that on all kinds of online outlets.

That's a really bad boss.

If the definition of winning is being the topic of conversation, I'm going to suggest that Farrah Abraham beat Miley Cyrus. People talked a hella lot about Farrah and those excerpts from the tapes were frequently in the top ten of what was being watched.

I know. When did that happen? My mother and father were married with three children in their twenties. My father had fought in Korea in his twenties. I lived on my own with no monetary help for college or medical or anything from the time I was 18. In my 20's, I was expected to act like an adult. When are people…

No, I'm at the "It's the South so it must be racist". I live in the south. I was born here. I know how I'm treated. I read the newspaper comments about my neighborhood. You would lock your doors in my neighborhood if I walked by. Yes, it's racist here.

I agree with you. I don't personally choose to go on these types of tours, but I understand the importance of the history being maintained. I have a lot of respect for your field. And you are right. Most of the comments were like yours. Talking about conditions and history. But there was a thread running through that…

By the way, I wasn't the only person expressing some astonishment and disgust at the long conversations about the best plantations to visit and the best slave quarters to see. Other people didn't have the stomach for it, either, and didn't find it charming. I just thought it sounded like exactly what Paula Deen got…

I asked three questions. There were far too many plantation visitation stories and plantation weddings for me. Sorry. Have at it, professor.

Am I on a Paula Deen thread? Am I lost? Where am I?

I read that she introduced herself to Dolly Parton on a movie set by walking up to her and telling her she wore too much make-up. It said Dolly was offended and didn't have anything to do with her afterward.

I've never thought about how awful a job it is to read these tabloids, especially now that they are all covered in kardashian. So thank you, Dodai. I've read them for a long time and I should have thanked you long before now.

Yes! Best article of the week.

This was so inappropriate of Blitzer to put her on the spot.
