I was born in 1980, and have been listening to David Bowie since I was in diapers-by age 7 I was a big fan (Labyrinth played a hand in that), and by age 15 I was listening to his deep cuts and B sides. I also knew most of Led Zeppelin’s catalog by the time I was in third grade. So much of this is based on what your…

I’m using it as a barometer for how much of a self asshole someone is. Can’t be bothered to wear a mask to the grocery store = you don’t give a shit about anyone besides yourself. 

Calling it “masturbation” has always bothered me as well. It’s probably the most disturbing moment in the film because it’s exactly what you said-mutilation. 

That’s usually not a problem for me, unless I’ve been drinking a lot of alcohol, which is rare. More often than not I wake up around 2-3 a.m. after having a dream, so maybe that’s also got something to do with it. I’m on the youngish side for perimenopause, but I’ve also had a hysterectomy and only have one ovary…

This honestly sounds like a children’s book. You need to make this happen. 

My mom had a lab/coonhound mix who would do the same on hot summer days. The dog would actually climb onto my parents picnic table and sun himself, to the point where we would beg him to come inside and cool down. A few times the neighbors called my parents and asked if the dog was ok, because he genuinely looked dead…

I’m an atheist, and I disagree that you need to believe in Satan to find this movie terrifying.

Thank you for correcting all the inaccuracies in this review that were driving me bonkers. 

Luckily with the fan going I can drown out his noise from my separate bedroom. When our dog snores I find it kind of peaceful, but my husband sounds like a jackhammer. He also runs hot, and I prefer to sleep a bit colder, so his body heat alone is often too much for me.

You’re preaching to the choir on that, good sir. :)

We’ve really gotta stop treating these people like deities. 

My husband snores, so for the past year I’ve been sleeping in a separate bedroom. Blackout curtains, white noise going in the background, comfy bed, no other interruptions that I can think of. I think maybe it’s just my sleep pattern-when I go to bed a bit later on Friday and Saturday nights, that early wakeup period…

Any advice for those of us who can fall asleep just fine, but can’t STAY asleep? I seem to wake up between 2-3 a.m. every morning. It likely doesn’t help that I get up for work at 4:30 a.m. during the week, but to be fair, I’m typically conked out asleep by 8:30 p.m. The only fail safe for me seems to be exercise, but…

Lately I’ve been terrified by the conversations I’ve been having with many of my Millennial acquaintances in regards to voting in the fall. I recently talked to a late twentysomething who is very liberal, despises Trump, desperately wants him out of office, and yet “I’m just so torn about voting for Biden.” I looked…

Well said. 

Oh it’s a law alright, but we don’t even have metal detectors in our main public building (and I live in the Midwest where gun nuts are everywhere). We just recently got a security guard to man the upfront lobby, so progress I guess?

In that article they include Gen Xers among “younger generations.” I’m talking about Milennials here, and I stand by what I wrote: their track record of voting is shitty. I do not trust them to follow through and get the job done. Many of us Gen Xers greatly preferred Bernie or Warren to Biden, but dammit, we’re…

Honestly, for as much as they complain, Millennials don’t have a good track records of voting. I’ll take my chances with the older folks who DO vote and are backing Biden. 

It’s exactly this type of divisive horseshit that will get Trump elected again.

I don’t know how they were even allowed in the building with guns. I work for local government, and every one of our buildings has “no guns allowed” signs posted.
