*I hope this isn’t offensive coming from a white woman.

Something about Octavia’s smile just cheers me up. I feel she must warm up every room she walks into.

Was genially nodding along in agreement until the last line where I suddenly laughed at loud.

As a fellow ruddy-toned individual, I believe we call this “Irish complexion under stress.”

That is a wonderful story! My dog is from a rescue as well. I hope you two are very happy together (and that Sia someday magically appears at your door to check in on your pup).

It’s the same fucking judge???!!! Jesus H. Christ. Why is this man still on the bench?

The article I read said with polygraphs....No, I’m not making that up to screw with you, I promise.

Please, please tell me you’re exaggerating for the sake of the point.

I’m currently recovering from a brain injury - likely, hopefully, I’ll make a full recovery within the year - and one of the main things I’ve noticed is my difficulty in remembering words or names I should know. For example, this morning on a conference call, I couldn’t remember the name of my colleague running on of…

Oh, absolutely. I have to really stop myself from screeching outloud, “Let the goddamn professionals do it, you rich egomaniac!” every time I hear of another celebrity starting their own foundation.

If David Beckham appeared at my little charity tomorrow, and we knew, for a fact, he was only there for…

I’ve had that very same thought. I’m 31, and I can already see it on my face when I’ve done a few heavy weekends in a row. I want to know exactly what Bannon drinks and how much, so I can basically do the opposite.

You’re absolutely right - headed back to the kitchen now. I’ll be sufficiently plump to survive our impending dystopian future.

Hey, look on the bright side - think of how thin you’ll get to be before the apocalypse!

Half a box of Girl Scout cookies here.

I think my head just exploded.

Hope springs eternal....

Me too. Even after all this, I thought at least a few of the Republicans would stand up and be counted as decent human beings who gave a shit about the next generation of kids. Just a few, ffs!

I’ve switched to vodka during the week and save wine for the weekend. That counts as cutting down, yes?
