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

Ted Cruz years are different, I'm pretty sure. And Rob Ford years, but for different reasons.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Huh, I think both of those guys look about that age, I mean my age.

No, no, Ted Cruz looks like ancient evil animated by the cries of the suffering, not younger than me.

My salon lost my appointment, woes. Glad I called first. Rescheduled for tomorrow after work, so I will have a shiny new cut for Tai Chi. Also glad I brought my lunch instead of relying on picking up while I was out today.

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

Ted Cruz is younger than me? Wow. What's the point of being evil if you don't get immortal youth out the deal?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Good Lord. I'm having an argument on Facebook with an acquaintance over a post a woman made about how angry she was because her teenage daughter's teacher said in class that women and men can't perform the same jobs, and that in *his* day, women stayed home and took care of the house and that's a good place for them.

Anyway, this woman's post was rightfully angry, and she said "I am fucking livid." This acquaintance said that if the woman cared about the welfare of her daughter, she wouldn't use profanity. In a Facebook post.

I don't know why it bothers me so much, except that this acquaintance is really annoying. But equating the use of one naughty word in a Facebook post with not caring about the welfare of her daughter? I'd call that a radical interpretation of the text.

Poophead.

t edit To be fair, I am ridiculously, operatically profane (though I try not to be on FB, because I'm friends with Tim's family and also a nun), and so I'm always taken aback when people clutch their pearls over a swear word. And I mean literally *a* swear word. This woman is not Eminem, y'all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am fucking livid over that!

And now slightly anxious because the mammo people called me back in for more pictures and an ultrasound. Not all that anxious, though, because the person who took the pictures took extra on one side and fewer on the other, and the whole thing just felt like she wasn't getting clear shots for whatever reason.

This totally made me laugh. Steph, while lovely, is not a nun.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wait- I misread that and thought the woman was accusing an acquaintance, who was fucking livid, of not caring about the woman's daughter.

But this is even weirder!
