I grew up with dogs, and my first husband had three dogs when we met. The husband and the dogs have all passed on, and I don’t plan to ever get another dog. I’m getting old and I’m tired of the responsibility of taking care of others. My kids, at least, are adjusting to young adulthood, although it’s sometimes slow,…

There’s a recent Russian movie called The Duelist, about dueling in the Russian Court in the 19th century. There was a long list of rules, and different varieties of pistol duels. The movie is very Russian, beautiful, cold, extremely pale. 

Pretty much. If it’s small and not obviously causing an issue, it’s considered cosmetic. You have to say it’s causing pain or itching or interfering with an activity. I had a cyst removed from my forearm because it was pressing on a nerve, so insurance covered it.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck with dieticians. They often decide on a type of diet and try to have everyone on that same diet. That doesn’t work. And they can be very stubborn about it. 

As an old white woman, I have to say, fuck that guy. There are always plenty of white men on any site ready to jump in with the #notallmen and #notallwhitemen protestations. I hauled my older son down to vote for Clinton with me. I will be hauling both sons to the polls in November, even though we live in a very blue…

He’s probably a fan of the movie “From Dusk til Dawn.” So many dumbass tattoos on white guys started popping up after that movie.

Oh, honey, nobody cares. I saw Star Wars in ‘77, standing in line twice to see it in the theater. Same with Empire and Return. The prequels massively sucked. Flat out, Star Wars has always been poorly written. George Lucas is not a god. Stories change. People change. People have natural inborn skills. Luke has minimal…

Thank you! That video made my day. 

Meth keeps your weight down.

I’ve worked in big firms and startups, and the culture comes down to the leadership. 

It wasn’t her first feature-length animated film. She had directed The Prince of Egypt, a film that did quite well.

They look like they could be related.

The article I read said that the Leslie’s castle has been in the family for 900 years.

The first episode had her making breakfast, in her scrubs, for everyone at like 8:30 a.m. An anesthesiologist would be at the hospital by 6 a.m. Then is turned the focus to Dre. I could never get into the show after that.

Never put any dish in the dishwasher that has metal trim. The metal trim is usually a mix of silver or gold, and they will absolutely corrode/melt off in the dishwasher. As to knives, I just have the cheapo colored Cuisinarts and some brand I bought at Costco. I used to sell housewares. I never got into the expensive…

Straight out, I hate Eugenie’s wrap dress. It looks like something a hospital tech would wear. Boring and unflattering, but probably very comfortable. 

There are so many rules about clothing and appearances and all that. Meghan has tutors and stylists. She’ll be fine. Also, I think her wedding dress was beautiful and the fit was fine, because I would not want to be stuck in full body spanx during a ceremony that would go on for hours. It’s a wedding dress, not body…

The Queen seems to like Meghan better than Kate, which, I think, is way more important. 

I think that’s just the Midwest. I’m in California, and a lot of white women (except me) keep their hair long. Usually, it’s long enough to put in a decent ponytail, because you’ve gotta keep it out of the way at SoulCycle. (I actually kept my hair on the long side into my 40s, but I’ve got some autoimmune disorders…

That was the 80s. EPA was already improving in the 90s. What finally changed it, though, was a change in government, which decided to welcome investment and new business, instead of blocking it.
