Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Huh. My husband cheated on me with an intern, my response would not involve warbling and writhing on a piano.

More like fireants, restraints and honey on the genitalia.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I was attempting to track down someone I went to school with in Indiana in 1989-90. Unfortunately, he has so generic a name I might as well have been searching for John Smith. I did get a giggle out of the demographic breakdown of that high school, though:

# of White (non-Hispanic) Students: 781 Student(s)
# of Black Students: 9 Student(s)
# of Asian Students: 2 Student(s)
# of Hispanic Students: 2 Student(s)
# of Native American Students: 1 Student(s)

I'd forgotten just how different that area looked, in so many ways.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've been trying to find a friend of mine named Mary Johnson. Not making much progress.

Emily, I used to ship stuff on Greyhound for real cheap, but that was years ago. And you have to pick the stuff up at the station.

The thing I was gonna make for dinner is supposed to marinate for 2-3 days. I haven't bought the ingredients, yet. Back to the meal planner...

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Interesting. I looked up my HS - currently it has:

Total 1,474
Gender Male 36%
Female 64%
Ethnicity Asian 6%
Native American 1%
African American 60%
Hispanic 5%
White 25%

Special Education 11%
English Language Learners 1%
Free/Reduced Lunch 37%

I don't remember there being such a gender disparity when I was there, but otherwise that seems about the same.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It is 99 degrees outside. I do NOT care how expensive it is, I have the air conditioner on, and on it will stay until the wackiness stops.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I read that Dianne Farr marries link, and it seems the young lady has written a book. It's called The Girl Code : The Secret Language of Single Women (On Dating, Sex, Shopping, and Honor Among Girlfriends). I decided to take a look inside on Amazon, with my normal nose in the air attitude towards Girl Power! books, but have stopped dead on this:

THE BOY: If you change suitors so fast that they rarely achieve name status, a man must be around for at least six weeks before you make your friends bother to learn his first name. Until such time, he should be referred to by this generic title.

For Women Who
Need to explain to numerous people what's going on in their love life,
Are between theages of sixteen and twenty-one or over twenty-seven,
Have overbearing mothers and aunts in their life,
Have called off more than one engagement.

Close enough, I have to admit.

I wonder...are they going to remember to call me to come in and spar, or should I get naplike or do any of my chores?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My High School:

Total Students 736 students

% Male / % Female 52% / 48%

% Asian 4%
% Black 69%
% White 26%
% Unknown 1 %

% Eligible for Free Lunch 43%
% Eligible for Reduced Lunch 4%

That's almost twice as many total students as I remember. Otherwise, not much difference. Might have gotten whiter.

I took a look at the Alumni Info page while I was there. Not one drop of information. I guess I'm not missing a reunion.

I think I heard that Diana Farr used to be a radio call-in sex therapist. For whatever that's worth.

Thrive to spite them

Diane Farr was on Loveline with Dr. Drew and (at some point) Adam Corolla. I guess it started out as a radio show but then it was on MTV for awhile with a live audience, they'd either take calls or take questions from the auidence.

Plus they'd have guests on. Alyson Hannigan and Seth Green were on once and Henry Rollins was on another time.
