I guess you’re right. I know a few people like that too. But it’s not something I can comprehend. I’ve been brought to tears on more than one occasion by a rapturously delicious dish. Food...growing it, shopping for it, cooking it, sharing it and eating it...is the biggest pleasure of my life.

I’d take their piles of money but having to be terrified of ever having a wrinkle or extra ounce of fat is a terrible way to live, IMHO. I mean, good for them, they’ve obviously succeeded tremendously. And I am all about eating real, organic, not-overly processed food. Don’t get me wrong, I love quinoa and tons of…

Haha, we’re all kumbaya and shit. I hope you’re right, for the most part I believe it too. I’ve just been getting a little scared with that pledge-signing bullshit and having people (otherwise smart people who I love) call me a traitor for not signing it. I was marching in protests when they were too busy playing…

Haha, okay, point taken and apology accepted. I think my own frustration stems from reactions I’ve got from people I know and love when I refuse to pledge to their Bernie-or-bust bullshit they post on my Facebook page constantly. Seriously, they actually post pledges and expect me to sign them, and when I say “No, I’m…

I hope you’re right, that in the end everyone reasonably sane will vote against the GOP instead of staying home regardless of who wins the nomination (because I’ve heard some Hillary supporters who say they won’t vote for Bernie, though not as many). You can believe me or not, your choice. I’m not the one telling you…

Um, wow. Shove it up my ass? That escalated quickly, and is exactly the kind of bullshit I’m talking about. Listen, I’m a Bernie supporter, jesus. I just voted and fought for him in my state (he lost). But I’ve been around enough election cycles to know that even with a landslide Sanders victory, our problems are not…

I can’t tell which part you don’t believe from your response. I’m a Bernie supporter myself. And I definitely am not dismissing people who want real progress because I am one of those people. But I’m also a grown-up and I know I can’t have everything I want. So I’m not going to take my ball and go home if I can’t have…

Could not agree more. The part that really has me shaking my head is what exactly do these die-hard Bernie Bros think Sanders can truly accomplish? It’s not like it will be a dictatorship. He’ll be subject to the same obstructionist congress that Obama’s dealt with for 7 years, and he’ll have to make concessions and…

Sadly, I know quite a few of them personally. They are otherwise wonderful people and really progressive, but they’ve bought into the idea that Bernie is the chosen one and no one else will do. They’ve become so blinded by this that they really believe Hillary would be no better than Trump. So if she’s the Democratic…

Well I admit I would much rather support Bernie over Hillary. But I don’t think either candidate is “perfect,” whatever that means. I find a lot to be troubled about when it comes to Hillary, but to spin her negatives into a scenario where there’s really no difference between her and Donald Trump is just jaw-dropping…

Me too. Now if we can just get the other Bernie Bros on my Facebook feed to stop acting like children and vote against Trump we’ll be okay. Now I’ve got them telling me “Bernie and Hillary aren’t two sides of the same coin, Hillary and Trump are.” Good grief.

Gosh, I wonder how that happened? Certainly her husband and his VP have to be scratching their heads.

I know this is a late answer, but it depends. Just like men have different size penises, women have different...how would you say it...depths? For some women, that would be amazing and mind-blowing, for other women that would be incredibly painful and way too much. Some (maybe most?) women prefer more girth to length,…

So nice to know your parents wanted to make sure you were happy, isn’t it? I hear there are parents that do that, I wonder what it’s like.

My parents were entirely unsympathatic to any kind of teenage trauma I endured. And they were so shocked to hear me say high school was the four worst years of my life.

Beautifully stated. What a breath of fresh air he was after the Bush/Cheney years. If only the GOP hadn’t behaved worse than demonic, racist toddlers for the last eight years, just imagine how much more he could have accomplished.

I don’t have as strong a negative reaction to this story as some people do, although the part about sitting around with her girlfriends and laughing at this woman seems a little juvenile. But I clicked around a little on her blog and saw a post about surviving the newborn phase. Does anyone else shake their head when…

When Lindsey Fucking Graham says the GOP has gone bat-shit crazy, that says quite a bit as well.

No it’s not, but it doesn’t take months. And for people who cannot fly either due to anxiety or a medical condition, it’s better than not going at all.

You can do it much faster these days. I know someone who can’t fly and travels by boat across the sea. It doesn’t take months.
