@Scoldy Lox: I say "here's the thing." And "bloody" when I'm mad, which I picked up from my British lady.

@DepecheNode: Heh. So does Jersey.

@Angelina Scarangella: Straight from my techie partner (my comp died and I had to get a new one so she advised me):

@Wandell: LOL. She actually called my parents as well as take me to be committed...

@Armer Farmer: There is actually a stop-smoking pill called Chantix. It supposedly takes the cravings away and makes you not feel the effects of cigarettes. I am not a smoker but I know people who swear by the stuff. They are usually those who have been smoking for 20 plus years, though... I don't know if, after 2…

@Angelina Scarangella: Thanks! I'll check it out. I've tried the Google thing and honestly have sooo much on my plate right now (am moving, starting a new job, etc) that it's hard for me to weed the good groups from the bad. I trust the recommendations of Jezzies, so I was hoping I could cull wheat from chaff a little…

@Svekla solves mysteries: Holy crap. Me too! My best friend calls them "hobbit feet." With love, though.

@Wandell: Hmmm. Well, I don't know if I can fully answer this but, some years ago, after a breakup, I went to see my bartender friend. She poured me a collection of shots called "[NAME OF FRIEND]'s Drink One," "[NAME OF FRIEND]'s Drink Two," and "[NAME OF FRIEND]'s Drink Three."

Hey Jezzies,

@precipice: Oh man. I have a friend who was abused at her daycare center. I don't think she got therapy for it either. She's grappling with some really big stuff right now and I think a lot of it stems from what happened to her. It's so awful that these things happen. There has to be ways to prevent it from happening,…

@cool_as_KimDeal: I LOVED that book!! I gobbled it up in my school's library.

@maurasaurus: AGREED. I hate being someone's first homo.

I had a horrible freshman year roommate. She had a great, grating voice and resembled a melted Barbie doll. If I made even the tiniest bit of noise, she'd freak. If I tried to be friendly, she'd answer in a monotone. Plus, she was a sheltered momma's girl from white, suburban hell AND was a neo-conservative poly-sci…

"She added that there were other perspectives in the war, including people forced to join the Maoists and children being conscripted."

@NefariousNewt: ... Which leaves Snooki with only 10 minutes, so let's just say said lawyer is doing the world a service!

@Bucky Rodgers: You are hereby hearted for that.

@blahblahblah: My dad was a draftee, too. He used to (intentionally) miss, and/or close his eyes.

@daradoodle: ::Applause:: Well said!! And thanks for sharing your friends' blog!

@Glum Cunt: I totally agree! I think she's making more of a political statement (perhaps), or one of infantile, unfounded bravado (more likely). Either way, they are an atrocity and I hope she is duly punished.

@Psykid42: Gonna PM you...
