I had a woman once call me ‘young lady’ in a public setting - it was a public meeting and I asked a question. I have no idea what she meant by it, if anything, but it felt demeaning.  I did say “I’m 53 and haven’t been a young lady in a long time.”  It took a lot of effort to live this long, dammit, and I’m claiming…

Why is she being released in August?  Why is she not being released NOW?  She shouldn’t have been in prison to start off with; an additional 8 months is unreasonable.  LET HER OUT NOW.

It’s real. A friend of mine is so allergic to fish that when her roommate opened cat food that had fish in it (bought it accidentally) she had to bolt out of the house and still turned up to work with her face and hands so puffy she was almost unrecognizable.

I had to get my first automatic transmission with my last car, which I bought used. I love my car, but sometimes my left foot goes for the clutch when I stop and I just hit air.  Disconcerting.

I’m so sorry you had this happen to you.  Sending internet hugs if you want them.

I have two lungs -- if she would like one of them we can make arrangements.

And it’s also gilded, not somehow carved out of a piano-sized block of gold.  For those not up on their gilding facts, small sheets of gold that are a couple of thousands of an inch thick are glued onto a background.  It looks impressive, but doesn’t take a lot of gold.

Are we related?  That could be both my aunt and my sister.  Both the oldest, FWIW.

Thinking of you both with love.  I’m so sorry for what you’re going through.  If this is the only place you can safely release the pain, then come back here to release it as needed.  <3

Bad memories... BAD memories. Had a wisdom tooth removed. Woke up in the night and felt weird. Went into the bathroom and spit a mouthful of blood into the sink, passed out, hit my head on the tub as I went down. Got up and looked in the mirror — blood coming out of my mouth and dripping down my chin. Too sick to do…

So basically this means that the last adult has left (or is going to leave) the building. Along with Putin handing Syria over to the Russians, things are going to go downhill from the depths of hell in which we already live.

I’ve got two lungs, so I can spare one. Anyone know Justice Ginsberg’s blood type?

I have no idea who the Rapoport guy is, but I suppose he thinks if he talks trash about people who are actually famous some of it will rub off on him?  Unlikely.

It sounds like he uses the weed to cope with Crohn’s disease, which is an inflammatory disease of the bowel and really painful.  I don’t know that I’d fault him for that.

May I use some of your wording?

I once gave my nieces bad gifts unintentionally. I had been laid off and had no money, but managed to find my way into a Calvin Klein sample sale. I was so tickled to find some great blouses that I could afford that would fit them that I bought them without even thinking. The print was way too sophisticated for a 12…

I’m stunned that he took pictures of his own dick.  He couldn’t just look down?

Don’t go anywhere near that asshole again if you can help it!  You shouldn’t have to put up with that!

EMDR seriously saved my life.  It doesn’t work for everyone, but if it works, it’s a life-changer.  Good luck if you decide to do it, and best wishes to you in any case!

Another EMDR person who just wants to tell you that my brain continued to untangle knots as time went by even though I wasn’t actively doing EMDR or even seeing a therapist. Sort of like untying one knot allows the next knot to untie.  The therapist who determined that I had PTSD and knew how to treat it with EMDR…
