I tend to make a bet with myself on what the balance will be when I check the account, and if I come in above my bet, I'm happy--and tell myself not ot spend it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

WS, I'm glad your mother is okay and it was just a non-payment thing.
quester, I'm sorry about the money woes. Your post made me realize it was nearing the end of the month, and I hadn't checked my balance since the baby was born. I have a positive balance and apparently didn't have enough energy to buy things on the internet while I was on the good painkillers.

sj, I call that a win!
Connie, I kind of do the same thing. It always comes as a shock when I find that I've gotten way low or over spent.
I do not understand money, I just feel oppressed by it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I heard an A-1 piece of mansplaining last night. Went with my friend Heather to see "Diary of A Teenage Girl" (which I really REALLY liked). It is based on an autobiographical graphic novel by a woman and directed by another woman. When the film was over, an older man at the end of the row was complaining loudly to his wife, "Another Hollywood phony" he said. "No 15-year-old girl has those feelings." Heather looked at me and said "Huh, I wonder when he was a 15-year-old girl?"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"No 15-year-old girl has those feelings."
15-year-old girls are of course well-known for their austere and minimalist emotional lives.

Whaaaat?? I just went to see this (I wasn't as big a fan, but liked parts of it? I think mostly because I hate hate hate seeing awkward on screen--I'm very watch from the hall on that spectrum). But I don't see what's unrealistic about her feelings?!?!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh shit, I didn't realize it was based on Phoebe Gloeckner's graphic novel.

I think he just didn't think teenage girls could have sexual desire? Either way, he was wronger than a wrong thing.
