We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

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

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

A couple days ago, at a work meeting, one of my coworkers said something that kind of upset me, but I really wasn't sure if I was taking it the wrong way or what, so I didn't say anything to him. Another coworker just stopped by my office to tell me that she thought that he was really out of line and shouldn't have said that, but that she wasn't sure in the moment how to say that without making it into a bigger deal. So I thanked her for that, since it confirmed that I wasn't overreacting.

ION, I am stupid and keep responding to conversations online that I know are not good for me. I should stop doing that.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

In my experience, Hil, you are the very polar opposite of stupid.

And I've been there too, with the online conversations. Which is why I'm hanging out here more, lately. Even the folks I disagree with here (about such momentous topics as cilantro and mufalettas) are folks who look out for me and for each other.

I hope things ease up on you soon. In the meantime, I send all the ~ma~ your way.

Thanks, Karl.

I just ordered groceries. They gave me zucchini instead of celery. I'm confused.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

People will do anything to get rid of surplus zucchini.

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

They're trying to save you from the celery, Hil. They're your friends. Even zucchini is better than celery.

I think today's vote is going to be all the politics I can take for a while. A social media break may be in order.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I am not good today. I feel really close to a panic attack. And I know people mean well, but the last thing I needed to see after donating to Susan Collins' eventual Democratic opponent was a tweet yelling at people to stop donating to that and donate to something else instead.

I know people mean well, but I am so far past fed up with being told what to prioritize, what to be angry about, what to pay attention to.

Edit: I'm trying so hard to be fair, I have to mention that people mean well twice.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think I'll steer clear of Twitter today.

Right. Okay. Done with Facebook for the day. Possibly longer.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Celery is better than zucchini!

Maybe this can be the new cilantro.
