Our friend Ed was here this week and we had a talk about the "I am fat, but you look fine" mindset. Ed, DH and myself were all CONVINCED that we were ourselves fat, but the other two looked great.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm sorry, Daisy Jane. We owe you because you are our countrypeople. That's why.(That used to be enough...fucking neocons.) Arizona has heat, dust storms and a scary ignorant populace.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Dressing up is all smoke and mirrors and sleight of hand and misdirection with fabrics and accessories, all tricks anyone can learn.
So true.
I think you are lovely, Allyson, not to mention that you always look effortlessly sexy (nevermind that it isn't effortless, it always looks effortless and natural on you).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I still need to shop for jeans, and more chinos. Not looking forward to that at all. Which is to say, we all have our body image demons to get past. You'll do fine, paperdol.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Daisy Jane, let me second what erika said - we owe you help because it's what people do for each other. It's what's makes a civilization civilized. (and, considering that the govenment keeps bailing out people who build - and rebuild - fancy houses on the beach and on floodplains, why not?)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Well, and thanks, my family and friends are all ok and doing well considering. It's the people stuck in the trailer parks and cities they don't consider home and that are increasingly hostile to them I lose sleep over.

Always Anti-fascist!
Me too. I think about that Spike Lee film a lot.Especially the woman who said Barbara Bush should "call my ass up and say that. I got my cel back now."

only place without anything really bad was Utah
We're one earthquake away from being a liquification textbook illustration. Then there are the droughts and wildfires.
You'll never get me to live where there are tornados. I'd rather have hurricanes. Those you have plenty of warning for.

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
Thanks for the shopping advice/hairpats.
Clothes shopping ends in tears, so I'm freaking out at having to do this. It's like a scheduled pap smear or something. Nothing but awful misery and that horrible anticipation of inevitable embarassment/humiliation.
