For me, the character of Nancy was boring (improving only slightly by the end of the first season) - Barb ruled. There was an unforced wryness to her that I don’t see represented in film and TV very often.

Vanicream! Comes in 2 formulas, you can find it on Amazon or at Target. Not the most natural product in the world, but my mom & several friends swear by it.

I do (and grew up hearing it in our home). FWIW, I’m a mix, ethnically. My dad is Hawaiian and Norwegian. My mother is Greek, Scottish/Irish, and Native American (we thought we were Cherokee but it looks as though we’re probably Mingo) Also, I love Donny Hathaway’s rich voice, but sometimes the tragedy of his…

I haven’t had real hand-made pirogi in years. I’ll be right over

I wish the same to you, and am very grateful to know you, even if just a little bit. You’re amazing.

Hello everyone. I’m missing living in San Francisco so much right now. Tomorrow we’ll have a very traditional dinner at my sister’s home, and I appreciate the time and effort, but I’m just not a traditional food person. I am pining, really pining, to be back at what used to be out home, and to go to Ton Kiang with my…

It’s made of silicone, which warms to body heat AND is non-porous and therefore sterilizable in boiling water **as long as it’s a dildo and doesn’t have a vibrator or battery component in it, which this model doesn’t. 10 years ago, sex toy sales was my entire life! Comparing pros and cons of different models,…

Speak for yourself! I had pants feelings as a kid when Luke emerged in Return of the Jedi all caped and resplendent in black, at once top and bossy bottom. I see the irritating whiny quality of young Luke now that I am aged, but I didn’t pick up on that back then. And now that Luke has stepped into his true Daddy…

You’re making me miss living in the Bay Area.

Best of luck, skill, endurance, safety out there tomorrow. You wil be very much on my mind.

HBD! Hope you will have a good day in spite of political tension, etc. Scorpios are the best in my opinion. Hope your cocktails and oysters will be sublime.

Where will you be staying and what kinds of food do you like/dislike? How adventurous are you?

Good job getting those endorphins! We depressives need all of those suckers that we can get.

How long will you be in NYC? Want some restaurant recommendations? I’ve got a few suggestions if you’re interested. Have fun, be safe. Hope it will be a wonderful time for you.

I am a huge Ron Funches fan. His laugh briefly reanimates my black heart.

Against all better judgement, I have always loved her, and hope she does well in this role. I want her to be well, ultimately. It would be really cool if this adaptation turned out to be great on its own merits.

But he can’t use my phone.

I suggest water aerobics if that is an available option! Very low impact but impactful and fun. I’m heading out to a class right now...

I used to live in Alameda County; miss it terribly.

Have you guys tried Emetrol? It has saved me from nausea, etc. many times. Wishing you all an end to the flu - and also condolences regarding your family’s loss.
