On I Once Made Calls With Gusto, Now I Unhappily Make Them With The Gusto II

My dumbphone recently decided to stop making or receiving calls, leaving me with what is essentially a pager, so I am in the uncomfortable limbo of realizing I'm going to be getting a smartphone whether I'm totally on board with the idea or not.

On When Parents Pay/Don't Pay for Their Kids' College Education

Well, this explains my brother, but I was personally unable to conceive of not getting high grades. (Conversely, for whatever reason, he is employable and I am not...)

On Living with a Disease Without a Cure

@josefinastrummer More like, they're in denial because they're rich motherfuckers and my father has wildly excellent health insurance. But oh, how interesting it will be when I turn 26 and lo and behold...

On Living with a Disease Without a Cure

@josefinastrummer My immediate family will bash Obama and Obamacare as much as they damn well please, my feelings regardless, because they would "take care of me." Sure, by mortgaging houses and going into debt and making me see the doc less frequently than advised, yes, I'm sure you would, thank you.

On Living with a Disease Without a Cure

I saw the headline and immediately, instinctively, hoped that it wasn't going to be a miserable, all-too-true tale about MY incurable disease. And then it was.

On People I Have Paid to Hurt Me

I am in the week-after stage of intermittent ghost cramps and geez, quit it already, would you? But my girl guts are like "THERE'S A PIECE OF PLASTIC IN HERE WHAT GIVES YOU ASSHOLE?!?"

On Elections Do Have Their Consequences

According to lawyer-boyfriend, not only is this dude a massive dickwad, but asking who an employee voted for and firing them based on their response are both highly illegal!

On You Mean Some People Don't Drive, What?

Maan, the DMV was confused as hell when I turned in my TX drivers license for a IL state id. But I have always hated, hated, HATED driving, so much so that even though I grew up in the Texas suburbs (i.e. no transit or sidewalks), I did not drive. I feel surprisingly free not having that "well, technically you can legally drive" card hanging over me. I cannot drive! Hoorah!
