Part of me feels like this now puts me at 4 degrees of separation from Dave Grohl except there's the annoying fact that I've never actually met you.

I keep telling myself that his head can't *really* be shaped like that & that it's some sort of perspective illusion.

Ah, bliss! We just had a sudden downpour & my irritating porch neighbor isn't home, so I went out & sat on the porch just taking in the cool & the thunder & the petrichor for a while.

Yep. This is me. I'm 63 & have ADHD, but it wasn't called that when I was a kid. It was just me, choosing to be irresponsible, choosing to daydream instead of paying attention to the teacher, etc., etc..

I'm 63. I *had* ADHD in the 60s & 70s when I was in school - it just didn't get labelled as such. Instead, I was punished by my teachers & parents for being lazy, forgetful, clumsy, day-dreaming all the time, etc.

Judging by my house porn, there seems to be a trend for removing closet doors in bedrooms and just leaving the closets open and I cannot, for the life of me, understand why anyone would want this? Even more baffling, I have seen some where *desks* were built in the closets, leaving no closet?!?!

Oh, yeah. Famous last words & all, but it's not for certain that any of them are actually closing. Hopefully, the deal won't go through. Be a damn shame if this country actually enforced anti-monopoly laws, wouldn't it?

That list is the stores that are affected by the sale, but the companies are claiming that none of them will be closed. It's still shitty & shouldn't be allowed to happen, but they're claiming there won't be any closures.

Apparently. When I was in college, on the 1st day of my Chaucer seminar course, the prof was doing roll call to put names & faces together. She gets 3 names in & says, "Susan FAITH?!?!" rather than my last name. Turns out, she was also a Susan Faith. Who knew it was such a popular combo?

Somewhat related, a Google image search of my name turned this up. Even the middle name is right. The middle name had not been part of the search.😳

It's so weird to me* how language that's designed to make men seem more involved in things that were/are traditionally female responsibilities or functions is so easily normalized while we're still fighting to prove ourselves worthy of our own medical decisions. *It's not really weird to me at all.

This just came up a couple of days ago on a Reddit that I sometimes read. My response was, until *they* get edema & morning sickness, until *they* risk gestational diabetes or preeclampsia and until *they* risk their very lives -- THEY are not pregnant. SHE is.

That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Even most of the people who work in social services believe on some level that poor people are poor because they’re stupid or irresponsible.

Ironically, my TANF worker was the best person I had to deal with. She could tell that I wasn’t at that level of need & she bent a few rules here & there to spare me as much of it as she could. And I was incredibly lucky that I had her for the whole 2 years.

Clearly, I never came in contact with your org, but early in my single momhood, every agency that I needed to go to for help seemed to assume that everyone who came to them was a substance-abusing HS dropout who'd never experienced a job interview & had no clue how to pay bills or grocery shop.

I hate this so much, I hit the pause button as soon as the page loaded so that I don't have to hear even the opening notes. There are no words to describe the depths of my loathing.

House porn is pissing me off as much as politics chatter today. I'm sorry, but the fuckwit who slathered beige paint all over the 115 year old hand-crafted millwork in this house needs to be dropped into Mt. Rainier.

I guess if you can throw $250/yr at them & not have to deal with lots of rules about what paint colors are acceptable & all that sort of shit. If I want a kelly green house (I don't), I should be able to paint my house kelly green. Who gives a shit what Martha down the block thinks of it?

My paternal grandfather's birth certificate names him as Ralph Clifford (Lastname). He was called Tim from the day he was born, for some reason. When he died, lifelong friends were confused to discover that Tim wasn't his real name.

My initials are S.F.B. I hope it never occurred to my parents that the expression "Shit for Brains" also shared those initials and that every kid I went to junior high with would seize on that.

Also: I don't know exactly where you are or where you plan on going but, hands down, the best advice I've ever been party to was "Mind how you go through Mousehole". So, if you go to Mousehole, you'll want to make sure that whoever is driving minds how they go through it. 😬

Little toe rag blocked me, apparently. Dollars to goddamn donuts, that person wasn't even born in 1992. I love it when relative children try to tell me how things were when I was already an adult.

CLINTON CAMPAIGNED THAT WAY. They *CHOSE* to tell people that they were a unit. If they ask you to think of them as a unit when they think it will benefit from them, they do not get to distance themselves from each other when it's to their detriment.
