At least she didn't include a link?

And TB, some guys do like having needles stuck up there. Read: sounding.

I wasn't going to offer up that information, but -- there's always someone who is totally into something that seems horrible.

oh flea, I really like that house.

Not to be a creepy creeper, but I did drive by it when I went to the CVS earlier. Super nice! And so walkable to everything! And 5 minutes to us! Which is key.

Well, hopefully there won't be a next time, but you could watch this series first and bring a few tuning forks.

ita, are you still taking submissions to the various provocateuse sites?

Yes, please, because I am lazy about finding them myself.

You are dirtier than I am.

We found out today that a new volunteer at work, a 29 year old man, committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. We only discovered it when our volunteer coordinator tried to reach him to cancel one of his sessions. When she couldn't, she googled his name and found his obituary. She was beside herself, and I didn't even know the guy but couldn't even open my mouth to say how sad or I'm sorry because if I did I would have started bawling. His poor family.

Very sad, J.

I have successfully given blood! So satisfying.

Julie, that's really sad and disturbing.

Having talked today about maybe not needing to be friends with racists while trying to overlook or explain away their racism anymore, it became more practical than theoretical almost immediately, as one of my college boyfriends posted a snarling racist rant on FB. I started to engage, and then pulled back. I'm just surprised and upset. This guy was such an anti-establishment don't-trust-the-man power-to-the-people fantasy geek! What happened? He's always really liked guns, but I never knew he felt this way. He recently said something really hateful and insensitive about rape, too, and now I'm thinking about whether I want to keep seeing him pop up in my FB. And whether unFriending him is worth the fallout from mutual friends. Ugh.

You can just hide him if you want to avoid dealing. That's what I did with a friend's husband, and it's worked out great!

Don't recall whipped cream or meringue, just Nilla wafers.

This all comes from having bought a box of Nilla wafers for a recipe that used like 4.

My work day was so annoying! At least it is over.

That would work, but I don't see an option to just hide him.

You can "block" someone and then you just don't see their posts. I think? I think that's what I've done with my more irritating acquaintances from high school.
