I said that historically, all the things the dude "isn't ready for" have already happened, so he needs to get the fuck over it.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hi, CV!
And I agree -- Allyson was very eloquent. (And if you go to Jesse's link, read the entire column -- the answer to the second letter is perfect Miss Manners.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Kathy, I didn't realize it was that much!! 191?!!? WOW.
Actually, I've been eating really badly for the past month, and my weight loss has stalled out. I've been hovering around 290 on the scale since mid-August. So, I'm back on a no-more-ice-cream, no-more-pistachio-fluff, back-to-what-worked-before food plan. And I have got to get back to my exercising, which I've been blowing off for the past week. I'll be in the pool on Friday night and the rest of the weekend, for sure, and I'm planning on bringing my workout clothes to the office so I can get on the treadmill after work on Thursday night.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My stomach just pitched another fit. Despite the zantac and the peppermint. I'm giving up on food.
Allyson, any chance it's something more specific than IBS, like a dairy or gluten issue? (It could be IBS *and* something else, also, which is unfair.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The CIO just asked what her favourite band is, so there's a lot of reply all going around. She's getting sass.

Go Allyson!
Hi CL!
That's tremendous, Kathy. And I need to get my own self out there exercising, too, especially now that the super-evil-hot has lessened.

Gluten is probably an ish. I had salad with grilled chicken and a piece of bread. Last night I also had bread. And ice cream. I totally did this to myself.

There's too much sour in today's smoothie, so I'm on the self-inflicted gastric distress boat too.

I have been on this call since 10:00, except for a ten minute break. I need to break again. Save me.
