Reply to Come Again... in Humor JoeUser Forums

Yeah, I read this title yesterday and wasn't sure what was to come. I didn't expect the sticky situtation, but I'm glad you eventually rose to meet the large challenges and overcame them. I'd take a walk down my own orgasmic memory lane, but I don't want to. Don't think worse of me (and I'm not judging) but I'm already blushing after using the word "orgasmic." Somehow my fingers

Reply to Oneupmanship? Up yours. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

*Blech* Anyone who drives a Hummer clearly has long-standing issues anyway.... I won't disagree with that. But another blog for another time...and probably another person. I drive a hybrid now but that's not why I hate hummers. I know, though, that if I write about it I'll get tarred with the damn liber

Oneupmanship? Up yours. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I'm in a bad mood tonight. I could blame my job, my cooking, my husband, the weather, the price of oil, but it's not really any of those. Rather, it's one of those more nebulous, everyone's-an-idiot kind of days that's just gotten to me. I can't shake it. It started with getting up late. Never a good way to start the day. Then at work, one of my "overworked

Reply to Stupid New York Times! I like it better when you're free.... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

This blog is not about how far right or how far left the NYT is. Nor is it about its news section--it's about the Op-Ed. If you have trouble distinguishing that, please don't read my blog. I am tired of partisan bickering and I am tired of people turning every damned idea into a political argument and I simply won't put up with it anymore. -A.

Incidentally, did you hear about the couple who got married over your way and had local businesses sponsor most of the wedding. Ha haha hahahaha! And I call myself a freeloader. I suppose they wrote on their invitation, "No gifts--just mo

The wedding insurance idea is nothing but a money-making scam. Do you know if anyone has actually taken out a policy? Not personally, but while I was engaged I frequented theknot.com and there were tons of brides who did it. When you're spending $30k on a wedding

Reply to I Stood On Both Sides Of The Wall Today in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I remember when it came down, too. My uncle is an opera singer and he had been performing there, and the next day he went and got some pieces. My parents still have one. I admire that it means so much to you. Maybe if I think hard enough, I can find what my Berlin wall is. But I feel as though I haven't found it yet. -A.

Stupid New York Times! I like it better when you're free.... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I read the New York Times--quite liberally, in fact. It's a holdover from my days as an English major when one of my favorite professors required us to subscribe to it. (You can read it by clicking on my "Where I get my fake news" on my sidebar.) Freakin' expensive--until we discovered it online. Then pretty dammity cheap.

I simply state that until medical science advances enough for them to get their hand pregnant, it would be much more polite if they kept their opinions to themselves. Thanks, Maso. I'll add that comeback to my repertoire. It's funny to feel guilty, as if I should have to defend this position. W

After the funeral: Cleansing sex and HIV in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Imagine that you're a woman and that your husband dies before you. It's the night of his burial and you're sad, angry--I don't know what, all the emotions that can come at a time like that. And imagine that you're scared for your life because you have to sleep with one of his relatives to "cleanse" yourself of your dead husband's spirit. My husband, who is

Did you know that companies offer wedding insurance to couples? For around $250 to $1,000 you can cover your ass in case some guest drinks, drives, and hurts another person; trips and falls and breaks a toenail; or if Mother Nature decides to rain on your parade and you weren't smart enough to have a backup plan that included a roof. Not to lay blame further, but I will: Shouldn't judges be the ones weeding out frivolous lawsuits from the syst

Mother's Day is NOT Breast Cancer Survivor's Day in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

My mom is a super mom. "Super Mom," sure, why not. She is also a breast cancer survivor (type III). Come Mother's Day, I'm really glad to have her around--believe me. But here's the thing: I'm not interested in businesses who try to get me to buy pink ribbon gifts for my mom--not for this occasion. Does she need to be reminded with a pink pin, or a wreath wi

Sounds like a good holiday. I could go for one of those, though I had a rather extensive one last summer/fall called "unemployment." Good to have you back. Cheers. -A.

I don't understand why this isn't showing up in the forums. Is "adult content" no longer allowed there? Does "Home & Family" get syndicated to somewhere that this isn't allowed? Grrrr. -A.
