We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got to be in Entertainment Weekly without being a sock and committing pseudicide.

This means I am BETTER THAN YOU, FASTEDDIEGUS.

Woot! Two 22-inch monitors are coming to my desk! More room for movies on Sundays when things are slow!

Oh, and Windows 7, which shouldn't be too bad, but I will miss XP.

Connie, Win 7 is awesome. I think you'll like the switch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

FASTEDDIEGUS

Which I read as fasted die Gus.

I think my biggest age gaps have been 12 years, in either direction. I could be a textbook cougar again. I got nothing against it. The word doesn't bother me--I understand that the strict application of the term is supposed to apply to hunters. But I'm more of a gatherer.

Ha! So your conquests are "firewood".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So what's the formula for determining at some point if you + person = cougar hunting?

13 years difference, I opine (entirely ex cloaca).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just tried to explain the whole Gus thing to my DH. It's hard to get all the backstory included in any kind of coherent fashion. At least, I failed at it.

My therapist referred to Older Woman Syndrome during a recent session. My husband is three years younger than me. I like Cougar better than Older Woman Syndrome if there's a choice.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Some jackass ran a red light and t-boned my dad this afternoon. Dad's ok but his car is borked and he is shaken up pretty badly. They took him to the hospital for x-rays and some other tests. I think he'll be alright. Hope the other driver has decent insurance. Dad just managed to get his car fixed from where my niece wrecked it two months ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Which I read as fasted die Gus.

As did I.

As a feminist, I have mixed feelings about the term cougar. As potentially applied to myself, I think it's hilarious, because I am definitely more of a gatherer than a hunter. In my head, anyway.
