But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I ran into msbelle on the street earlier, and in an echo of our earlier conversation about How People Act, I started to get riled up when she stepped directly in my path. "WTF, lady, there's a whole sidew-- Oh, HI!!"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

What, not shopping at IKEA, Kathy?

Shit I didn't say today

Eat it, you Swede hater!

Oops, I just said it.

Anyway, IKEA's beds are not the sturdiest in the world, and not that cheap, either.

You looked absolutely aghast when I ran up to you on the street before you recognized me.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I absolutely pissed off juliana once doing that. She was in WALK mode and I interrupted her flow. EEck.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Msbelle gave me the same look when I grabbed her in a TJ Maxx one time.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe Juliana is really a New Yorker?

This morning I'm stepping out of the train at Grand Central. Woman with stroller is rushing on before we can get off. Crashes into me. When I don't get out of her way fast enough, she backs up and smacks me with it again! With baby in it!

I'm all "just let us get off the train" and she's all "bitch get out of my way" and smacking me with the baby! So I'm struggling past her and making noises like "if you'll just wait a second" and she's calling me an ass hole and I whapped her with my paper...

Then she PUSHES THE BABY CARRIAGE INTO THE TRAIN and, now that her hands are free, starts WAILING on me. Dude.

The train makes the "doors are going to close" noise and (having noticed, for the first time, that she has shoved her 18mo old into the train in order to try an whoop my ass more conveniently) she jumps in the train.

As its pulling away two cops get to me and there is a woman saying "I saw it, the other woman started it".

I'm fine. When I got to work Big Boss actually got up from her desk and HUGGED ME in that rocking way. I must have been white as a sheet. I went to the diner across the street for a bit, got some chocolate milk and a toasted bagel, came back and got to work. A couple of hours later I took a little nap... I think the adrenaline wearing off caused me to crash.

Wild. Dude. Pissy day.

Yeah, because you were RUNNING. I thought you were a crazy person! Of course....

Suzi, I'm guessing juliana wasn't actually pissed off when she knew it was you -- she was prepared to be pissed off if it had been a random jackhole. At least, that's my reaction.

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

Oh oh oh! Allyson, mine turned up in the mail last night! I am looking forward to reading it on the bus tonight.

UNFAIR!!!!!!!
