I'm under 5 ft tall. Legroom matters not at all. I just get irrationally angry at being treated like cattle. I felt ill on a flight once, it was a red eye. I called the flight attendant and said I felt a bit sick, could I have some ginger ale to calm my stomach? She acted like I asked for cherries flambe and oral sex. Seriously. I hate that shit.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The flight attendants have always been very nice and attentive to me on Jetblue. Snacks and beverages always available, and a nice little gift-pack with eye shade and lip balm and moisturizer on the red eye.
And I'm 5'2" with short legs for my frame - I was surprised ho wmuch I noticed the lack of legroom when flying Continental after getting used to Jetblue.
They just need to fly more places so I can use them all the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm under 5 ft tall.
Flying is pretty much the only time when I think, "being tall sucks."

So this Allyson is the Allyson that wasn't Allyson for awhile? Just trying to keep track.

Yeah. I was worried about getting trolled for awhile after the book came out, but it looks like it was seriously just paranoia.

Orr railed against requiring health insurance plans to cover contraceptives. “It’s not about choice,” said Orr. “It’s not about health care. It’s about making everyone collaborators with the culture of death.”
This drives me batshit. Contraceptives are not just about sex. They are probably the only thing standing between me and another operation.

It's like Becky in reverse.
The name change not the contraceptives.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Silly megan. No one ever takes the pill except to prevent pregnancy.
I wonder what the statistics are on that, because I know several people who are taking or have taken the pill for reasons other than contraception.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm taking the pill to prevent STDs!!
...what?

Gud, glad you clarified because my little brain hurts from trying to figure that one out!
