Not of This World
Yeah, I read this with some curiousity. Since when is commerce involved with the sharing of feelings? Oh, that's right, you have to chip in for the space ship.... Sorry, don't mean to be a cynic, but I agree with Magics.— November 14, 2009 7:54 a.m.

The $100,000.00 question. Whatcha gonna do? Get my sense of humor back? I just made some scrambled eggs. That felt good. I'm no domestic diva, but I like to cook. It seems weird to slow down and really focus on what I am doing. And AWESOME, DUDE! That cat was hilarious!! For now, I am going to futz around my house. Thanks for the support - I'll keep you "posted". I am out of the Reader blog loop. Has refried fell out of favor? Now there is something to do. I'll go back and read the Reader blogs. Should take at least a year or so.— November 14, 2009 7:41 a.m.

Hi to you, too, SD. Neruda. Nice. Yes, chasing the dollar is pointless and ridiculous. Ask anyone - there is never enough money, no matter how wealthy you perceive someone to be. I have encountered people recently that I thought were loaded that are having serious financial problems. They just have too much stuff. I am going to quit. I just have to work up the courage to be unemployed. There is so much stigma in being willfully unemployed to follow your dreams that, anti, you nailed it: talk about a soul-crushing death hole. I laughed out loud. We are willing to dwell in a soul-crushing death hole, just to pay the rent. Sometimes we have to stop giving a s*** what others think of us and focus. Focus on what is important to US, not them. This is my goal. Oh, God, I'm ranting. Thanks, anti, for starting your blog and kicking me in the ass. I have been doing some serious reading about living a simpler life. I'll be here to support your quest for living your life on your terms and being an inspiration to others. And you are still interesting. SD, don't ever let them silence you.— November 11, 2009 3:40 p.m.

Now if you can just inspire me to quit my awful job I went back to. It KILLED my creative streak. The Sun is a small, independent writer's magazine that is supported completely by subscriptions only - no ads. It's pretty cool. I received my subscription as a gift, and I really like it. The content is all reader's submissions. Mind you, the subject matter people write about can be kind of heavy. It's not sunshine and roses. They also have great interviews every month. This month's was with James Howard Kunstler. Try saying that with a straight face. Yours would make a great poetry submission.— November 11, 2009 12:41 p.m.

Nice work, Anti! I have the day off and thought I would log on to the Reader for some movie advice and to read some neighborhood blogs, and here you are!!! This is a nice piece. You should submit it to "The Sun". I want to start writing again. You've inspired me.— November 11, 2009 11:59 a.m.
Generation Gap
My husband and I read the paper together in bed every weekend. I put the paper in order after removing the ads and then he steals my sections and messes everything up. We drink coffee and read Dear Abby and our horoscopes, and just take our time. It can be hard to not think about what needs to be done, but you can break that habit by replacing with a better habit - having fun reading the paper! The chores can wait. And I still read the funnies - every day.— October 7, 2009 4:33 p.m.

The word was "heated". They felt it best described an emotion somewhere between rational calm and the eventual fistacuffs.— September 10, 2009 3:18 p.m.
Board-domme
I have to give you credit for being so involved in your HOA. I sat jury duty once - for a homeowner's association meeting that got out of hand. One of the homeowner's attacked the HOA president and he pressed charges. They selected me based on my use of a word they liked. They asked me what I knew about HOA meetings. My response was "they can get heated, at best".— September 10, 2009 10:18 a.m.
BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
Oh, for the love of God, who the hell cares what you think or whether you are right and I'm wrong when clearly your position is to refute anything I say? And, WTF was this about? "So, I believe this shows that you were wrong on Red Sails. Tell your friends that own it you're sorry, you tried your best." What did you do, go back and read every post I've made on the Reader and post a nasty comment? Not to mention jumping to ridiculous conclusions that have no basis in reality? Such as calling my husband a 60 year old man? He isn't, but so what if he was? Are you an ageist as well? "You see, that makes it sound like women are these emotional creatures that can't just have debate and dialog on issues, but instead get angry, lash out, scream and throw a fit...and then they come crawling back like a baby, because, well...as you put it so well..."that's their right." And, you probably get mad when guys ask if it's "that time of the month." This is the conclusion you draw when I said your ignorant comment made we want to cry? These are your words, not mine. Holy s***, you need to be muzzled.— July 10, 2009 2:34 p.m.
BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
Don't flatter yourself. I am hardly the main poster on your website. And I don't make fun of them, I make fun of you.— July 9, 2009 6:47 p.m.
