This is where being living alone sucks balls. If I'd had anyone else to bribe to do that job, they could have named their price, trust me. The tub drain gives me the heebie-jeebies, too. Fortunately, I have shortish hair so that cuts down on that task

Thank you for that. I carry a knife, too. A big fucking knife!

I nearly choked on a spoonful of peanut butter when I read that. Fantastic.

I just read your incredible article "Today is a special day for me". I had read it when it was posted and just realized that you are the author, my new heroine! I hate that you went through that. You write very beautifully about something so ugly - and I am beyond grateful that you are still here to write those lovely…

Well, I think you're pretty great, so there! That you are a good and caring doctor is also pretty great. As both a child and as an adult, I have had serious illnesses and was nearly murdered in my early 20's. I flatlined for nearly 90 seconds, I am told, and the whole experience was a nightmare. But I did recover. In…

You do know that you are a superhero(ine), right? God, you have been through the fucking mill and then some. I am so glad that you are alive and healing up. You are something of a miracle.

How's about some advice on cleaning range hoods? When I moved in here, I had to pull literal CHUNKS of coagulated grease off the filter and lightbulb. I would pull down a hunk of the nasty stuff and a veritable rainstorm of the horrid stuff would clatter onto the stove (which I covered with newspapers the instant I…

My aunt burned her left nipple from oven cleaner. I was never given the details and have likely spent way too much time envisioning the scenario. So, that happened.

Question: I am very tall (6ft) and full-figured with big boobs but no ass to speak of (God hates me). Would I be able to get away with a righteous caftan and look stunningly Liz-like, or would I look like a drag queen in a loud nightie? What do you think, oh caftan purchaser and wearer?

If Mad Men has taught viewers anything through Don, it's that a person's terrible childhood will make them a terrible person.

My friend agrees with you. She once told me that Mad Men "is ever so pretty to look at but awful in every other regard". I kind of agree. There are some compelling storylines but I find that follow-through is not Wiener's strong point. That said, Kiernan Shipka is a lightning bolt. She will go on to do tremendous…

His whole look was a little too....Menudo.

Um, maybe I am sheltered or something, but I hadn't seen that gif before now. Blood: running cold. Stomach: flipping over. I think I'll need a full 8 oz glass of bourbon to get to sleep tonight. Christ.

I am seeking out this obvious masterpiece forthwith. Anything that has Connery in that get-up, a giant concrete head that barfs weapons cannot be ignored.

Well put. I, however, will raise my glass of hooch to Rex Smith.

I am repulsed, aroused and all-round fascinated by this spectre of sexual aggression. That dick-cradle is nicely, uh, appointed. Thigh-high dom boots, even. So much hair everywhere. I mean.

Great. I have spurred undoubtedly hi-lar-i-ous memories that should have remained dormant. I turned out pretty well, though!

Great article! One thing, though, that you might want to add in a future write-up (you know that you'll be doing another of these, right?): the unappealing and uninvited appearance of blood clots. I don't know if that's too graphic a subject but, hey, in for a penny, in for a pound, right?

Oh, you bet! That was a few years ago and I don't think he's let them forget it, either. It's kind of a family in-joke, at this point. My nephew's been exonerated, for sure.

My sister and her husband totally went to the open house a few doors down - these neighbours were legendarily pissy and were the first ones to dump the snow off their cars onto the freshly-shovelled sidewalks. Dicks, in other words. So, my sister is snooping around the garage and, lo and behold, came across the really…
