  • From My Orbit

    Okay, last week MistPanther was kind enough to mention that I was a bit judgy, and you know what, I have been lately. It's so hard not to be when people's problems are pretty much put full on display for you to pick apart. I mean, it's SO OBVIOUS sometimes. For most of us, anyway, to see. But that doesn't mean I have to get judgy just because I'm ...

    LW#!: Well, you'd have to prove coercion, and that's going to be almost impossible to do. Maybe Judge Judy would take this case? So she could yell at you and your man to take some responsibility for your lives? Better to ask mom and dad. Maybe. Seems a lot to ask — the possibility of having grandkids depending on their money. Life isn't fair, ...

    LW#1: Assuming this is a real letter, and I certainly don't, I would say you should wean yourself from every last new drug you are on in spite of your sleeplessness. They don't react well to your body. Go back to your doctor and have a frank talk about you sleep-sexing. Because those drugs are bad. Except that they make you productive in (some) ...

    So I subjected myself to the Sex and the City Movie recently and OMG did it suck. It sucked so hard. It was basically about cell phones and fucktards and crass materialism. A 50-y-o woman put on some practically unnoticeable weight in her gut and her ''friends'' told her she was mental for it. She is 50 muthafukkin years old! Mr. Big's name is ...

    Great. I LOVE starting the day thinking of pubes and pube etiquette. LW#1: So you've got a hairy Mediterranean feminist who bought a teensy bikini? I mean, I know the Mediterranean area is no stranger to the naked bathing, so maybe this is her concession to modesty but to me it sounds like she's trying to be kind of provocative and not ...

    LW#1: Let me get this straight. You like Michael Douglas (really?) so much you watch his movies every day, and as part of this ritual you ''insist'' on your husband watching with you and discussing Douglas' personal life? Really? One of those movies has to be ''Fatal Attraction.'' You knew that when you wrote in, didn't you? Even, and ...

    Hey there. I was dumb enough to post to the Kausfiles Fray. Learned my lesson! Crazy people city! Best to stick to my DP peeps. And with that in mind! LW#1: Okay, a couple of thoughts on this. The first is ''be careful what you wish for.'' The second is, holy Christ on a cracker. She's got some issues. Single mother, lives with her family and ...

    LW#1: She has a hobby. You should be supportive. Even though it's community theater. Can't you find a ''thing'' that can keep you occupied? And not have that ''thing'' be her entertaining you? See, here's the thing: Some people need a lot more stuff going on in their lives to fulfill them than other people. And if you tell them they need to be ...

    LW#1: I am not sure where I read this, probably the book of ''The Princess Bride,'' but wherever it was, it noted that ugly people tend to produce pretty girls and ugly boys, and pretty people tended to produce pretty boys and ugly girls. A mixture, well, William Goldman was tight lipped on that. Now, I'm not exactly sure how you could ...

    LW#1: He must know you know. The wetness, the yellowed sheets, the smell, the fact you change your sheets ... But God forbid you bring it up. Over the course of a year and a half, he has had three occasions when he has wee-d the bed. So that's kind of small in number. Sounds like his problem is not huge or out of control (or he would not ...
