I had to give her a name, since her parents haven't named her yet.

They've been ruined! Their dresses were amazing! Their shirts fit so nicely! I never got their bedding, but yeah, all of that PINK stuff. I'm almost 30 and seeing women my age and older wearing that shit makes me cringe. It's for teenagers/sorority girls, not actual grown women.

Victoria's Secret used to have pants in varying inseams, from 30" to 36". Cute styles and pretty affordable. Then they had to fuck it up and stop selling real clothes. I still love their bras and PJs, but not enough to justify having a credit card with them anymore. I used to get most of my clothes from there and now…

It is. My dad has been pestering me to read it ever since I told him the rather upbeat story of Wojtek, the soldier bear. It's a true story about Polish soldiers who were released from the gulag to help fight with the Russians against the Nazis, but they said "fuck that" and went their own way. In Iran, they purchased…

Poland. I had a Busia and a Babcia. Grandfathers are Dziadzio and Dziadzia. I also got a blood clotting disorder from them that has struck me with two severe DVTs, and I am only 29 years old. I will be on Xarelto for the rest of my life. I won the genetic lottery.

It is. They are best described as commercial prog. They do these prog novelty songs that are dumb and catchy as hell and I love them for it.

Me too! I just got my dad listening to Styx after him really disliking them throughout the 1970s. They're entertaining as all get out, very talented musicians, and they still put on one hell of a show, even without Dennis DeYoung. (Saw them in concert in 2011 with Yes.)

Yay Eat Up Martha! You don't have to be drunk to be fun!

That's awesome. I hope this is your mother softening and showing progress towards your sexuality. I had it relatively easy coming out and integrating my wife into the family, but it wasn't so easy on my wife's part, so I can understand your frustration.

Congratulations on your achievements! That's amazing.

Yesterday I made homemade turkey meatloaf. Instead of using milk or water, I used salsa, and I put homemade chili sauce on top. I made steamed broccoli, tossed with chipotle olive oil and raspberry vinegar and edamame to go with it. Oh, and pistachio macarons for dessert.

I am reading The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz. It's about six Polish prisoners who escaped from a Soviet labor camp in 1941 and crossed through the Gobi Desert to find British India. My dad has been on my ass to read it, so I've finally started it, even though I wanted to start Cormarc McCarthy's Blood Meridian.

Even the Styx? That song is so dumb that it's awesome and everyone makes fun of me for loving it.

Upvoted for Yes and Floyd.

Reverend Horton Heat! I saw him in Ann Arbor about a decade ago. That was a blast.

I'm between a size two and four, depending on the brand. But yeah, height and bone structure mean everything. It sucks for me because a lot of clothes, even in the small sizes I am, are made for people that are at least 5' 5". It's a good thing I know how to sew, because I have to tailor a lot of my own stuff. I'm not…

Her boobs, her face, her whole figure. She said she gained something around 15-20 pounds for the role. The last thing I saw her in was Melancholia, and she does look a little more filled out.

Same thing with Al Roker, he just looks weird now. I'm lucky that I have osteoporosis to look forward to. My Busia used to be my height, and now she's 4' 11". Maybe by then I will achieve the perfect body fat/height ratio. She managed to do it in her 60s, so that's about three decades off.

It kind of depends on the body. I'm barely 5' 2", have a very petite frame, and weigh 103 lbs. Granted, I also have a disease that makes me throw up most of what I eat (no, not bulimia) but I am not skeletal looking. I still have boobs and a little bit of an ass. That puts my BMI at around 19, so I'm not underweight.…
