That was mine too! I was in love with that fox. And then Sancho Panda from Don Coyote. So much so that I asked my Dad if it was weird that I had strong feelings for cartoons.

He’s turned into the singer from Everclear, who is maybe 20 years older but looking far more spry.

A good reminder! I might be pretty ugly by 2020...

It’s hard to predict how you’ll react in a moment when someone’s doing something they’re not supposed to. Not just with sexual assault. I got mugged and I fought the guy for my bag — it was only after the fact that I thought, what on earth is wrong with me? What if he’d had a gun?

I always do that.

My Oma was also a Judge Judy devotee! I would visit, we would watch, she would shake her head and say “Boy, she really knows how to tell ‘em!” every time. Which means I will always love Judge Judy. She can have all the money for making Oma laugh.

I have a one-time hookup from many years ago who contacts me every few months, despite the facts that A) I told him at the time I was not interested in dating him and B) I now live in an entirely different part of the country. He doesn’t seem to be deranged or anything, but it’s absolutely bizarre. I mean, I think I’m…

Man — I did a similar thing with my last company, although less exact because I had to rely on people’s reported salaries as there were no official documents. Instead of getting a raise I got fired. Kudos to your organization for having principles.

60 is really not small when you consider the risk these people are taking. Back in the 90s my mother was hit by a layoff at a large company that targeted every woman above a certain pay grade within the entire region. There were several hundred of them and they very strategically decided who would engage in legal…

They also put a blanket over him when it thunders.

Exactly. I have a friend who was in a scary car accident where the other driver swerved out of the oncoming lane unexpectedly and hit him as he was driving. I’ve been his passenger since, and on quiet country roads when another car appears in the opposite lane and he’s not expecting it, he jumps and starts to swerve…

They are not safe. From the Polaris Project: “

Oi. The sex traffickers have codified Madonna/Whore. Fabulous.

Really! That’s fascinating, I would never have expected that connection. Can I read more about this anywhere? That’s a long read I’d love to find.

Spend $175 - $180 on an Amazon gift card; she’ll know what she needs when she needs it.

Thoughts: I’m looking for work & choosing how to geographically narrow my job search. Stay in a city I don’t like that much (moved for a job) but where I have an amazing group of friends and potential future friends? Move back to a city that I love where I have a few close friends but generally failed to find a larger…

That’s true. And these kids are probably pretty tough-minded and savvy. But it makes my heart ache because it’s kind of the real experience they’re having, right? Imagine that you’re going to be in this movie, imagine all the wonderful things you can do with the money you’re going to make — sorry, didn’t get the part,…

I would love to be friends with her. But in the “some want to be with her, some want to be her” vein, if I can ever figure out what I can add to society that will allow me to be as eccentric as I wish, I very much would like to be some kind of Cindy Sherman.

Nah, the last one definitely. But the others, where he lies about the GDP growth rate (it’s 2%), brags about crowds, randomly puts quotations on “busting”, and strangely capitalizes “Jobs Numbers” (which is also... not how you say that?)... that appears to be Genuine Trump™.
