LOL. “Other.”

Sometimes there isn’t a Target to go to! When I first moved to Philly, there was a K-Mart downtown, easily accessible via public transit - and no nearby Target. A couple years ago, the filthy dirty K-Mart has closed, and last year two shiny new mini-Targets popped up.

God. I’m so sorry about your friend.

I’m not in the habit of liking Pence even a little bit, but this makes me smile.

THIS. I just texted my BFF, whom I’ve known since grade school, about how I’m so glad there was no internet when we were in junior high.

Christ. Someone should market this picture as an appetite suppressant.

I hear you. When I put my mom in hospice, it was a relief to have... answers? direction? -- even if they weren’t pleasant answers or direction. My thoughts are with you.

Shit. I’m so, so sorry for your impending loss. I lost my partner of seven years and it was crushing. Thinking of you.

This. I am a huge Roseanne fan (who pretends the final season didn’t happen!) and I have absolutely no desire to watch this.

I really enjoyed reading this. This is my second Christmas as an orphan, which is complicated and painful - but Christmas with my parents was also complicated and painful. (And I’m not even religious and IDGAF about Christmas!) Looking forward to quiet hotel getaway with my sweetie (also an orphan) this weekend.

Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

I am American and I love the City Chic stuff! They carry it at Macy’s here and there are so many fun bright colors.

Ugh, I am a swimmer too (10 years of swimming year-round as an adult!) and I love how it makes me feel, but when I try on clothes I am super aware that it has made my chest and upper arms larger than most women my size. I hear you!

Hell, I’m American and I think it’s pretty weird. I didn’t know it existed until today.

This shit makes me raaaaage. I got that message about how sex makes you like used tape, when I was in high school (c. 1998). I thought it was stupid then, and even worse now.

As an East Coaster originally from Nebraska, I co-sign this statement. There are good folks and assholes everywhere.

Shit. I am so sorry this happened to you.

61 degrees in Philadelphia today. In December. #globalwarming

“It is all about the outward conquest and everything else is just a bit of grunting, two pumps and a squirt and that’s that.”

OK, this is my second xmess since my mom died, and reading this comment makes me dread the holiday a little less. You’ve inspired me to remember that I don’t need to pay any more attention to the holiday-ness of it all than I want to.
