I don't know why I've never wondered this before - but - is Maru maybe on drugs? Not like evil Maru-people drug Maru for internet hijinks (nobody who owns a life-size stuffed animal baby goat would drug their cat, surely) but like, a stoner?

Thank you!

You know what's a great way not to get emails from Uber? Never having used the service, never having visited the site, and never having signed up for anything related to Uber. Or Lyft. It's been working well for me since those companies, which immediately raised all kinds of red flags for me, launched.

"Better"? Last time I checked, no definition of "better" included "more rape", "Driving qualified, experienced workers out of business", "exploitative pricing", or "no legal protections for workers". And around here, in the Bay Area, people take Uber and Lyft because they're dumb sheep who think it's cool to do the…

I like the one where they set up a barber shop in Bruce Wayne's garage. I don't think she did much with his hair tho.

We're going the same route without the booze. I'm calling it a Christmas Lock-In- we're only going to open the door for pizza from right now to the evening of the 26th.

Reading her Jezebel piece, I was enchanted by her savvy use of marketing to monetize her video and her smart and sensible tone discussing her scantily-clad-entertainment work. Also her hair and makeup just crush me. I would like Sara X to be our new Maria Shriver.

Now I'm visualizing boobs saying "Honey, would you get me a drink from the fridge? And close the window?"

I actually buy more clothes than you'd think an aging plus-size goth would from Charlotte Russe, so I badly wish "Charlotte Russe "Murder Mystery Beetlejuice" Collection" was a thing.

We just watched that movie and I especially loved his hair.

I make my "secret recipe" mac and cheese as a side dish. It makes people so happy they don't care about anything else. It's like the heroin of comfort foods. (Secret recipe: bechamel sauce, grated cheddar or gouda, and 8oz mascarpone, use ziti rather than elbows and cook a little less done than al dente, top…

Yeah. It was my little joke about the whole gluten-free trend.

It's true. Bay Area doc suggested I try a gluten free diet; I said "look, I have a friend who is a diagnosed Celiac. The odds of me being one too, meaning two in our 200-person friend-circle, are practically nil."

Put that on my tombstone: "trailer door kicked in by bounty hunters a year later."

I eat chicken and fish; my Aspie is incapable of grasping that I don't eat mammals, and has offered me pepperoni pizza at least once a month for years. He's teachable on most other fronts, so I can't complain.

This is a sad story and I am sad it happened to you. However...some Aspie guys are the opposite, and like to turn their considerable ability to focus and solve challenges on making a lady come. Just sayin.

New hubbie is a guy with the texture issue. It doesn't affect me, so I don't judge. We eat asynchronously most of the time; or we eat something he can eat, or I pick the tomatoes/mushrooms/slimy lettuce off for him.

Knew the husband was a keeper when he paid more attention to my elderly cat than me our first night together. He only got to have three years with her, but he made every day count!

All the best fashion news stories start out, "Only Rihanna could pull off...". Love her.

Once in the '80s I passed out on heroin and wine coolers and woke with my face pressed into - like it had formed around my zygomatic arch- the liverwurst and salami on rye deli sandwich I had been eating some ten hours earlier. This whole post reminded me of the way I felt when I came to.
