Hey, you gave me a huge laugh!

Wowie, that's a significant statistic. Huge.

I'd forgotten about this post! Thanks for the laugh!

When I got married 32 years ago, my husband and I did not exchange rings and I kept my maiden name. One day after about 5 years of marriage,I was in an antique shop,saw a band I liked and bought it for myself. A lot of men had been coming on to me lately and a ring was a good way of signaling that I was not…

You're so right.I love some of the older cuts and settings and the prices are always way more reasonable than going the new route.

You are right to be worried. You were not overreacting;what you are describing is classic early abusive behavior. Please talk to a women's counselor and do NOT move in with this person, no matter how much you may love him. Your intuition is telling you what to do;please listen to it.

Sometimes Paris would forget to use her baby voice and out would come this really low voice all of a sudden. The contrast used to scare me a little.

This is fabulous! If a recognized artist had done it,people would be lining up to see it at MoMa. Just brilliant.

Each time Kathy appears on camera,it seems as if she has just emerged from a fracas of some sort that results in various kinds of tonsorial dishevelment. Or perhaps she flirted SO effectively that she actually managed to have sex before each take,and barely had time to smooth her dress before the cameras rolled.

I think like any change in the way we obtain and share information,there are plusses and minuses.For me the internet has been a huge blessing because I love to research things and I love to write and communicate,and I do more of both in the 9 years I've been online.

That's what I mean;he really isn't unkind,and it was sweet that he patted her knee like that so she would be sure to know he was kidding...even though it was a classic Rickles rejoinder.

Don Rickles is the best, isn't he.? I've always liked him,but in his later years even more. I remember how he mentored Kathy Griffen, who is a huge fan of his. Made a guest appearance on her reality show a couple years ago,and had a really serious and mutually respectful conversation on the do's and don'ts of "insult…

Oh, but you ARE unattractive!

Oh she's amazing! What worries me is that the kinds of roles that are out there for bigger women tend to show them as figures to be ridiculed, or are really patronizing,because they tend to be about the fat rather than the person. Not that Melissa would accept those roles,but we'd all better start writing some kick…

This thing is always on my computer sidebar. I clicked once,and saw right away that it led to scammy stuff. I'm surprised it took them so long to get called out.

Yup, not surprised;watches have always been a ready status indicator..like the big rock on the left hand and the car. People love that shit.

Gaga to me is the perfect manifestation of the wrathful Dakini in Buddhist Tantra;only in convenient pop culture portions! Chelsea is more Kali the destroyer. I adore them both.

That reminds me, I have to buy Swiffers.

I'm laughing over here,just so you know.

Yes, but I need a cheap way to get to China! And I think I can almost see Asian people waving at me!
