It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am making Paul Gross arms for you externally. Also Kermit arms. Maybe some other kinds of celebratory arms.

Does this mean they'll be bringing you on as an employee, or are you staying contract but with shinier terms?

Because books.

All my arms are celebratory, Steph. You're going to do great.

Woooooot, woooooot Teppy!!!!

Man, I want to crawl back in bed. Unfortunately I have a meeting in a couple of hours that I have to prep for and attend.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats, Tep!

And, Mom called, they were waiting for my niece to wake up, which she now has. So, family time, full speed ahead.

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

Hi yall!

I have a friend who is in the hospital and will be for awhile, she's pretty sick. She loves romance novels, and I know nothing of romance novels. Can I get some recs for new titles? She isn't likely to have anything that has come out in the last couple of months.

Because books.

Absolutely! Do you know how steamy (or sweet) she likes them?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I can't think of anything recent, but if she hasn't read the Vicki Lewis Thompson "Nerd" series, then those are really fun. (There's no real order that you have to read them in -- they're thematically linked, but they're not the same characters or a continuing story or anything.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats to Steph and Doctor Otter!!

Amy, that's a good question. I think most of the covers I've seen are bodice rippers, if that makes sense?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Excellent news, Steph!

My first visit with the new therapist went well. She seems to have the right mix of engagement and objectivity that I need. She has a nice firm handshake, and she seems smart. I see her again next Friday. She is familiar with my previous psychiatrist, and agreed that maybe I should go back to him and go back on that med that worked for me before. So I'll give him another try.
