Tucker, honey, do you have any idea how much white Americans shit and pee in public? Cause it’s a lot. Especially when drunk.

Yup, that’s the story so far. I’m really waiting to hear the tale they come up with that somehow makes her the aggressor.

If I even felt capable of crying anymore this would have done it. Seriously. I’m sitting here, wondering why I never wondered about the balloons and confetti after how glorious it was at the end of the convention. But I can’t even tear up, I can just stare and wonder.

I moved into my new house yesterday!

Self Care Thread:

So I’m having a really hard time. We just learned My poor little doggie has cancer and had about 6 weeks left. We’ve been together for over a decade, through 5 states, two marriages, and 8 homes. I can’t imagine my life without her. I’ve had her my entire adult life and it’s like the end of an era. :(

I have a question for the socially awkward Jezzies.

I feel stupidly proud of my ingenious solution to my dog’s possessive issue of refusing to give back the ball he wants you to throw.

Read the book, for sure. It’s not an epic LOTR galactic unicorn battle like this trailer suggests, but the book is excellent. Interesting characters and creatures, a nice coming-of-age story, physics lessons (!), and it’s like 200 pages so you can finish it in a day.

Yeah, this bears little resemblance to the book. It looks completely overblown, but hopefully its just because its a bad teaser and not a reflection of the actual film.

I am so, so wary, and I am going to be so heartbroken if it’s bad.

After a 13 year hiatus wherein marriages, divorces and procreation occupied us, my girls and I are taking a trip in the fall to celebrate our 40th birthdays.

I am An Old and was a teenager in the 80s and I regret absolutely none of my sublime musical choices. I’m still proud of the fact that I was the first person in my school to get into The Smiths, thanks to KROQ. And although most of my musical tastes were pretty eclectic, again thanks to KROQ, I did and still do crave…

Veruca Salt, Buffalo Tom, Poe, The Cranberries, Pavement, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Silverchair, Garbage...

It worked! Congratulations! But, you know, you didn’t have to become childfree the hard way...

It actually helped me too. My class must have been assigned an exceptional officer, because he was really good. He even expanded the “just say no” role playing to other social situations, including saying no to a boy trying to pressure you to go on “date”. I didn’t understand until I was older, but he managed to warn…

In our town DARE sponsored/hosted a big, fancy, graduation party, the idea being that kids would attend it rather than boozing it up elsewhere. They printed up t-shirts that were supposed to read:

DARE was such a waste of time! We had to put on a little concert where we sang songs about not doing drugs. Our parents were invited. I wonder how fucking bored they were!

Mmm, bread on bread sandwich, how fancy and educated!

That must vary state to state. I have full access to health records but not all abuse related information. Most of my kids come in way behind on immunizations and other medical issues. I had one 8 year old who we found out had un-treated diabetes!
