Good god, O'Reilly sounding reasonable? I need a fucking drink.
You should watch "Cougar Town." She's an executive producer and has said that the character is very much like herself, which means she's a perfectionist, kinda high strung, a fiercely loyal friend, and drunk most of the time. It's awesome.
God, give Skip a break, because reverse racism is totally more hurtful than old racism racism. The coldest cut is being called a racist.

ARE YOU CALLING ME A RACIST?

/aaaaaand, scene.
Even smarter, put the lint in the cup of a paper egg carton and drip a bit of candle wax on it. Then you can tear one of those suckers away when you want to start a fire. Not messy and not going to get your pocket all greasy when you want to carry it to the firesite.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
AOL?! In like 1994? I kid, I kid.
He's a HOmosexual Crustacean*. I think you mean Veggie Tales.
*it'd be funnier if I hadn't actually heard someone once describe him as such. Yes, I'm 39 and have SpongeBob pyjamas.
The most comments and posts I saw was from my over 60-year-old Facebook friends. Many of them have either had breast cancer or scares. Komen screwed themselves royally over this one.
I just got a 4 quart All Clad saucepan today (Hallelu!) just for the express purpose of making bacon fat caramels. The whole bacon trend annoyed me, yet bacon fat is amazing in everything.
Except for the fact that he was a child. It made me massively sad.
I was with my last boyfriend for 6 years. Instantly, my bestie's husband said "You're hot, you'll find someone in no time." I lost it on him!! I don't think that some people don't realize that that's not the right thing to say.
Not projecting, and semantically, I can only have one best friend, I've just known each of them for as long and we're like a little troika. I feel stupid saying "2 best friends" because it's not really "correct." It's like people who say that they don't know what to say when someone has died. The person doesn't want to hear "You'll move past this," they want to hear "I'm so sorry you have to go through this." You asked what to say, I answered.
Oh, whatever. Just because you've fucked someone of another race it does nada in the way of forwarding race relations. Look how well being straight has worked on eliminating misogyny. Anywho, white people and black people have been having sex in this country for 400 years. It's nothing new or novel.
The same reason I dropped out of some of my volunteer/social groups when I heard higher ups referring to the "diversity" of the group...and looking around and only seeing my brown face in a sea of whiteness. That's not diversity or integration. That's tokenism and I won't play a part.
Probably my favorite thing from this movie is when Kurt Loder describes the assault on the subway; "He was heard screaming 'I'm just a human!!'"
Ru played a street party about 6 years ago on the block where I worked and I was on the phone with my mom screaming and almost hyperventilating. I finally understood the old movies of the girls crying when they saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, because I was that girl.
Well, I hearted you too. Thanks for the perspective.
el double post.
I'm sure your friends know they can get pregnant or take in a foster child or adopt. What your friend is looking for is empathy. There may be a bit of subtext like, hmm, I'm getting older and I'd like to be partnered and raise a child with someone. I'll let you know that I rankle when people say that I could "do it on my own" to me (although in my case, it's usually not brought up by me, because I don't really talk about that kind of shit with people who aren't my 2 best friends.) Whatever you do, don't say (in that half-sigh, half-whine voice) "Oh, but you're so pretty/smart." Because that and $3.75 will buy me a latte, but it apparently won't do much in the way of attracting a mate when you're seemingly chronically single.
Hearted, and let me tell you as a 39-year-old black woman, it doesn't get much easier. My favorite thing lately is all the busybodies who ask me why I don't have children, and when I reply that I have always wanted to be in a committed relationship when I had children, I either get the 0_o face or I get the memo that it's "OK" for me to be a single mother or that I could have children well into my 40s.
Fuck that.
