Unless his actual real name is "cockbite", in which case it might shoulda been some kind of warning.

They should all be named Earl!

My cousin's ex was having an affair with his secretary for YEARS and the kids knew about it and he made them all swear not to tell their mother, who he was still living with

Heh. I found out the other day that my best friend met her half brother when she was about four. He was six. Her parents were married, had been married for more than six years. Her mother did not know about him. I was like "WTF was your father thinking? Also, who trusts a four year old with that secret? Dumbass"

My cousin's ex was having an affair with his secretary for YEARS and the kids knew about it and he made them all swear not to tell their mother, who he was still living with.

That's vile -- the affair is bad enough, but I can't even imagine the levels of fucked-upness for years after, decades after, it would cause to demand your own children's complicity in that secret.

President A is a Holocaust denier.

Ugh. I hadn't known that. Down to my mental basement he goes, or possibly to the sewage line underneath the basement.

Also, who trusts a four year old with that secret?

How long before she told?

Emily--that's a tremendous relief for you.

My sister got me up to date on our family yesterday. When my mother took the phone she said overhearing all that stuff made her depressed. I pretend I don't really know them, and it helps. Otherwise it gets way too sad.

Just had a travail ordering two bagels and a bottle of water. If your employees don't speak English or are dumb (I'm voting the latter, because he asked me what kind of bread I wanted my sesame seed bagels to be, and told me they didn't have the water in stock that we were both staring at), please hide them from me. I'm not good with temptation these days.

Woot Emily's Dad!!!!!

****

(a) as much as he was never my favorite relative-in-law before, I never would have imagined he could be such an utter fucking cockbite, (b) I can't believe someone with three children could be such a public cockbite (memo to cockbite: Just because their mom is your ex-wife, they're not your ex-children, fucko), and (c) since he still lives in SF, I have to hope to God that our paths never cross because I will do my very best to punch him in the fucking nuts.

Punching him in the fucking nuts seems like an excellent idea except for that biting cock of his...

t rocking-hugs JZ, growls over her shoulder at cousin's ex

President A is a Holocaust denier.

After that, anything he says is all chimp bubble fork taco.

Yet again I find my self amused (in that nauseating irony way) that people who deny the holocaust seem to be the most in favor of having one.

Also, who trusts a four year old with that secret?

Someone who doesn't want it kept.

I think the Passive Aggressive Championship Crown may well have been passed with that one. Sheesh.

This confuses me. What reproductive rights are you referring to?

Sorry, I was busy teaching, not ignoring you. And yeah, I admit to being in ranty mode when I wrote that, but I do think here in America that women's reproductive rights are being challenged at least on some grounds. Some states have little to no access to abortion services, others offer little to no access to artificial reproductive technologies for women who aren't in married monogamous relationships.

I thought Megan was snarking that American women don't particularly have reproductive rights to be challenged at this point.

Oh, in that case I misread her.

Or possibly I did.

The woman is an enigma (who's reproductive rights may or may not be limited at this time).

I have to admit that tramp stamp cracks me up. The first time I heard it was from Tatum, with whom I did yoga who had a lower back tat (as do I) and it cracked me up.

I still look pregnant, but I do blame empire waist clothes that I am fond of. Oh well.

There was a bomb threat in my office at school today. Not just at the school, but in the computer on the desk next to mine.

It meant I was locked out of the office, which made it difficult to do my job. Unsurprisingly.
