Sewed my own wedding dress and bridesmaids’ dresses. ;-)

I have always loved Deni’s exceedingly shiny hair.

I love your comments and this one is particularly powerful.

Sleeping with someone isn’t a great icebreaker for me, if my youthful experiences are anything to go by. Increased sideye would be the only real result.

That’s so interesting!!!

We make the America’s Test Kitchen pumpkin pie which is half candied yams-half pumpkin puree with some sort of cream (off the top of my head, I forget which milk-fat concentration) but the kicker is the fresh ginger. I blitz all of it till smooth and push it through a sieve so it’s utterly light and creamy and…

Hugs. I suspect the latter as well. I’m glad you are here.

I have a friend who’s been suicidal for years. I am so glad she shared her feelings and experience with me, because it’s hard to be so vulnerable with another person and I treasure her and welcome the intimacy. But I am always afraid I will get news that she has killed herself. I have several gifts from her around my…

Hugs. Thank you for sharing. I will be thinking of you both a lot, even though we’ve never met.

That is a much harder concept for people to swallow. So many men have hurt people, yet so many of us know and love them in only one context, it’s hard to understand the dual nature of people we love.

She makes me feel hopeful and fired up! What a rare feeling, these days.

That makes sense and I am so sorry the worry has to start so soon. You and your son deserve better.

My new mom anxiety has been through the roof generally but now, thinking about the families impacted by this violence, I feel like I am going to lose it. You should be able to send your kids to school and not have them get shot.

Climate change is really getting to be these past couple of years. I keep checking my memories of childhood winters against current winters and getting FREAKED OUT. Everything in our life is pretty good, but I can’t help feeling like we’re the musicians playing as the Titanic sinks. I worry for my son’s future and…

I stayed with my parents for 6 weeks and pissed them off by not waiting on them in the manner which you just described. Maybe they’ve had a similar sort of experience and are just hoping not to get booted out on their asses.

I am asking for 30 Rock and/or Coupling and/or Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea and/or Chef! I don’t love a lot of new TV and rarely watch it, but I am up for nostalgic binge watching.

Hey, I live in Phoenix, AZ. I noticed in the Scary Story comments that there are some AZ Jezzies. Would anyone want to do a Meetup?

No! Alec, I just defended you!

And his recent statement was: “I certainly have treated women in a very sexist way. I’ve bullied women. I’ve overlooked women. I’ve underestimated women. Not as a rule. From time to time, I’ve done what a lot of men do, which is … when you don’t treat women the same way you treat men. You don’t. I’m from a generation…

Eh, I like Alec Baldwin’s reflections.
