Thank you, and I’m so sorry that awful disease has affected your family as well. The sooner we can find a cure for the indignity of ALS, the better.

Thank you- and my heart is with your friend and her family right now.

SO SAY WE ALL!

Abortion, as an issue, is almost religious in nature. We all have our various beliefs about it, but the key is to apply our belief to ourself only. I don’t care if a Democrat is personally pro-life in the sense that she wouldn’t have one herself, but the second she crosses that line into the “My morals…

I credit my awesome co-workers and patient customers at the retail store I worked in. I didn’t have time for a Spanish class during college, but I think my peers were ultimately more helpful than a class would have been.

How.....how is she living in Miami if she doesn’t speak Spanish? It really is a bilingual city; I didn’t speak a word of Spanish when I moved there, but four years of being around it near constantly got me to a semi-proficient level by the time I left. (I still suck at speaking it, but can understand a good bit.) I’m…

I’ve already done a couple “told you so”s to some Negative Nancys from a few years ago.

ALS took my Dad. Fuck that disease, any dent in its progress is a cause worth celebrating.

So, if I’m following Bill’s “logic” (or lack thereof, really), it’s cool for Americans to not be free, as long as the government provides food and shelter for them.
And here he had us all thinking conservatives dislike big government.

Always remember the Ted Wedding.

So glad to hear that they are safe. My childhood next door neighbor married a French man and moved to Nice, and I was so happy to see her check in as “safe” on FB, especially since she never gets on there. My mother was in tears; she lived for a year in Nice as an exchange student, and yesterday was her birthday. She…

I had the world’s worst housemate, who happened to be Trinidadian*, and just hearing the word “Trini” makes me cringe a little. All she would have to say is “You wanna lime?” and I’d run away screaming.

*Obviously not all Trinidadians are gigantic bitches, I just had really, really bad luck.

Our first dance was “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. And by dance, I mean me skipping and singing circles around a slightly swaying husband, because he’s awkward as hell, and I’m a tiny manic lady. Whatever. It was cute.

Sup, Cousin? :-D (Hanks descendant, here!)

Oh c’mon, you just KNOW that the Donald has played a part in at least two unwanted pregnancies and abortions. (Probably more.) The pro-birth camp slooowly realizing what kind of human he is some of the best entertainment around.

Heh, honestly I’ve already done that so much that the only pro-birthers left on my list are family. The rest have long since defriended me.

I’ve already decided to take a social media break if it goes badly. I’d either be angrily ranting and raving, or starting some serious FB feuds with anyone who disagrees.

Just what I need to hear a month to the day from turning 32. :-/

I work retail in a large shopping center right outside of DC, and I totally have several hidey holes/ escape routes already planned in the event of a live shooter. It’s sad, but I’ve been slightly on edge and anxious for a while now.

Off to work! :-/

I’m in the same situation as you, and we’ve decided to wait until fall officially arrives (Sept. 20th, or there about) to really start trying. Our logic is that is hasn’t spread as far north as we are *yet*, and it seems to be a one and done type virus- once you’ve had it, you have future immunity. So we’re wearing…

This whole shitshow makes me sick to my stomach, and has shades of the PP shooting all over the place. Conservatives are soooo sad, but not enough to own up to how they’ve been treating gay folks for decades, or how their violent rhetoric around abortion rights contributed to that shooting. Nothing will change,…

People who don’t understand the Southern Strategy and the result it had of effectively switching the demographics of the two political parties are in my top five pet peeves. Right next to people who drive in the left lane without passing, and those who don’t leash their dogs.
