Oh yes, it is I once again. I’m having this pre-debate...not exactly anxiety attack, or gleeful anticipation, but whatever it is it’s distracting, so I’m obsessively going over Jezebel with a fine tooth comb to calm myself down.

I think I might have been that commenter, and in my comment I thought something like 36,000 people had already voted. It’s up to about 500,000 at this point.

Oh I heartily agree, I meant to emphasize that it is not a waste of buttercream frosting, like what happens with human cakes with fondant.

If cat cakes are like dog cakes, that fondant is actually yogurt mixed with something healthy the cat can digest, I forget what. I ordered a birthday cake for my dog once and that’s what the baker told me.

The 80 million (and they’re not all women) bought 50 Shades of Grey, not 50 Shades of Orange Assault.

Maybe they will form a pack of two! (I’m almost sure they will form a pack of two.)

The emails from the Democratic Party and the committees and the PACs and the candidates and the surrogates will never stop. Unsubscribe on one and two more will pop up. So do it.

I do two Thanksgivings. I can get away with it because my maternal grandparents were born in Canada. Never mind that they’ve been dead for decades and my parents never celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving. I tell people celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving skips a generation.

I had a German shepherd who was like that, she didn’t like rain or snow falling on her, but she would happily wade into deep puddles (I live in New York, where they have never heard of sewer drains at intersections) and throw herself into snowbanks. Maybe she thought she was being attacked somehow, from some hostile…

For the most part, home warranties after the first year are more scam than protection.

It’s too late to replace Trump.

“Women’s Lib!” Here’s an idea. Find an early copy of Ms. Magazine (from the early 70s) on ebay. Bring it with you the next time you see him. If he mentions the phrase “women’s lib” chuck it at him.

Let me guess. The insurance company’s first response went something like, “That doesn’t seem so bad. Tell you what, we’ll give you 10% off your next monthly premium, which I see is due in three weeks. Would you like to pay it now?”

To complete your conservative mother’s tour through the Seventh Circle, drag her to the Halloween parade! It’s very fun, like Mardi Gras without the drunken violence, very creative, and usually very political. I’m sure it will be doubly so this year, with the election following shortly. I’m also sure lots of the…

Congrats on the non-smoking! I stopped about three years ago. About three and a half years ago I saw my doctor while I was still smoking, for my annual physical. Then I bounced around insurance plans but I’m now on one where I can see him again, which I just did. When I told him that I hadn’t smoked in three years his…

I am sitting here with a big box of Cheez-Its, a peanut bar and Bud Light Lima-A-Rita while watching the first 3 episodes of the Exorcist TV show. Sad!

I just know that at our next Christmas party I’m going to pull an Ernie “Keep Chokin’ That Chicken” Anastos and, and after one too many turns at the punch bowl, blurt out “Grab ‘em by the pussy!” when an arriving guest asks me what they should do with their coat.

The Binaca blast! Mandatory accessory of pot-smoking teens of decades ago. Too bad our polyester outfits still reeked of pot, fooling no one but ourselves.

Given Trump’s small hands, they might want to revive Boston-area favorite “Candlepins for Cash.”

I have Columbus Day off! Maybe I’ll go. But I bet getting into that part of Rockefeller Center is tough and people are pretty thoroughly screened. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the Today Show. Has anyone ever seen someone hold up any sign more controversial than, “Hi Grandma! You’re the best!!!”
