"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Does March need to go back on the LIST?

March has totally sucked rancid donkey cock.

However, as we were all gathered around the car and I was sweeping out the glass, and JZ was cleverly fashioning a new window out of a clear plastic quilt case and tape and Emmett and Matilda were sitting on the sidewalk watching I did use it as a Teachable Moment with Emmett.

I mean, he sobbed hard about losing his DS but only for about fifteen minutes. And I just said, "This sucks, but sucky things happen and you deal with them. Matilda's fine, you're fine. All limbs are intact. Sometimes you get big random checks in the mail. This is not one of those days."

My new pet peeve: being informed while on a trip that my meal allowance is being cut IN HALF. Seiously, WTF!? Also, grrr. And, booo. One of the other major companies has a similar meal allowance to what I've just been told--but it's a per diem, which means they get cash and can spend or not, and spend more one day and less the next etc. Very different. Grrrr.

Our wings are not tired.

That totally sucks, Meara!

Sorry to hear about the smashed window and stolen DS. Such a sucky thing!

Punishingly Intricate

Still don't know why he posted it in the first place, but DAYUM will he be getting traffic.

I think the second part of your sentence answers the first.

ugh that sucks, David! Hope April is much kinder all around.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congrats msbelle!

Happy birthday Libkitty

Happy Pesach, one and all!

And sorry Hec for the shitty ass month you've been having. April needs to bring better days.

I feel like I am forgetting something.

phew!

Thanks all. It sucks but...you know. Nobody's dead.

Spring's usually good for me.

::knocks wood::

At least baseball's coming.

How's Bob feeling, lisah?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hec, I just texted JZ, but I'm working @ Starbelly tonight. Come have cocktails and nosh. Bring the kids. My treat.

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

Well, I don't think Andrew Sullivan deliberately posts dumb, baiting reader emails to bring traffic. OTOH I am completely befuddled as to why he thought it was worth posting. So maybe he did want to start a discussion about implicit misogyny, but it's weird that he didn't comment as much.

He's got weird gender-issue blindspots that lead to him doing this a couple of times a year.
