How the hell does one (two?) sing a duet of Jenny from the Block?

I'm so there. And the sense of relief and peace is quite surprising.

If pigeons didn't want me to hate them, then one of them shouldn't have flapped its wings above my head and then pooped in my eye when I looked up to see what the commotion was.

I really like and appreciate your response. It is great food for thought.

And some people's heads will explode if you even suggest that thin privilege is not on the same level as race and sex privilege in America.

I don't understand why suggesting that thin privilege varies and depends upon/interacts with other forms of privilege is oppression olympics. But if we understand the concept differently, so be it.

Yes. Because you know me and know my life and know all about my privilege.

Absolutely agreed. I just don't think these things are valued equally in this society. This is not to play the victim (I have a very good life) but I am seen as a black woman first and foremost and my accent and way of being brand me as not American.

Does your puppy have these overly huge german shepherd puppy paws? I love love love those.

I remain torn between Italian and Portuguese. *swoon*

I have no answers but that cat's face captures my sentiments completely.

After 6 years of being single (ages 25-31), I decided to jump back into the dating scene. And perhaps I wasn't as careful as I should have been because I got caught up with someone I had no business being anywhere near.

Do you think he was purposely keeping you on the back burner to have someone to fall back on in case plan A didn't work out? Be careful with this one.

She has nothing to post on FB just because she has no kids? No funny jokes, vacation pictures or political opinions? Nothing?

There is an older man in my neighborhood who I run into every once in a while and we chat for a bit. Lately, he gave me some much-needed advice about my car (long story). So today I run into him again and we chat, but this time, he asks me for a hug in parting. I guess I looked uncomfortable because he was like, you…
