Mosquito bites in November sucks, but this was the only year I remember that happening and I’ve been here a while.  This year we had summer through most of fall as well.

So young and already so rigid.

I am middle-aged. I am pretty much invisible. I could be the greatest thief in the world if I wanted to be. Luckily for the cops, my back hurts, so I’m not going to bother.

I saw this play out in real time once... I was in college and didn’t realize there was a mirror outside the bathroom door. I walked out of the bathroom and caught sight of a really skinny person I didn’t know. As soon as I realized it was me, I morphed back into the fat person I’d been for years. I can’t tell you how…

Excuses, excuses.  Those kids need to get jobs and stop relying on adults to feed them and tote them around!

I struggle with depression, sometimes on a daily basis (and my dog recently died, so it’s especially difficult these days) and I want to let you know that I applaud your honesty in writing about something not everyone wants to understand. I have a very good friend who has become bipolar but can’t take medication and I…

Thanks.  Though Cognitive Behavioral Therapy takes a while and takes practice until it becomes second nature.  If you want faster relief from the anxiety so you can practice CBT, the gummies (if they work; I can’t say yes or no) would be a short-term answer.

What is CBT?

Barack Obama led a scandal-free presidency (sit down, “Benghazi”. That wasn’t a scandal, that was a manufactured nothing cooked up by congressional nutjobs because there wasn’t a scandal and they wanted one so badly. You sit down too, “IRS not approving conservative political organizations as tax-free”. Political…

Sometimes I will put my feet up on something because I have a bad back and it’s much more comfortable to sit that way, especially given all the sitting I have to do each day. I’m not trying to be aggressive in either a macro or a micro way.  My goal is to be able to stand up straight at the end of the day.

I used to laugh at all of the pathetic drivers in the DC area who would panic at the first snowflake... and then I spun out in my go-everywhere Volkswagen Rabbit, which could climb the steepest hill around in deep unplowed snow in New England. We don’t get snow in DC, we get ice. We’re always right on the border…

I get mine from the Bali outlet store.  They’re also online: https://www.onehanesplace.com/

Congress is still mostly men. It’s still, in fact, mostly old white men who are used to getting their way whenever they want something.  Why would they change a system they use to get what they want?

No one travelling with a White House senior person makes their own arrangements. 

That would work.

Cross-contamination rears its ugly head again! I’m glad you’re okay.  I’ve got lots and lots of allergies myself, but luckily (knock on wood) no food allergies that will kill me.

I would say it’s an issue for employers to transfer to the police. I’m not sure I’d want Betty-in-HR to be the person who has the ultimate say on what happens if I’m harassed at work; HR’s goals are to minimize negative effects on the company. Sexual harassment is an illegal use of power to obtain something that would…

I have a friend who can’t be in the same room with fish that is cooking or being prepared.  She has to limit the restaurants she goes to to those that don’t have fish.  It’s not enough to just not order it; she once had an anaphylactic reaction to french fries that had been cooked in oil that had previously been used…

That’s the big question.
