YOU LOST, ASSHOLE. Go back into your cave and suck. it. up.

I am serious. I am a total introvert and have been married 20 some years to another introvert. The secret to our successful marriage? A two-story house (and 2 bathrooms). To read, watch TV, do hobbies, etc. he gets the upstairs and I get the downstairs. Visiting, of course, is allowed between floors.

About three times, as a matter of fact, all when I was between the ages of 16 and 24. Three guys I could NOT get over, and wept bitter tears over, each of them were THE ONE for me. (and I was not THE ONE for any of them :( but did that matter?) ... One died a few years ago in a drunken driving accident. One got married to someone else and turned up after his divorce, trying to get back into my life, fat, bald, and the father of FIVE kids! And one...the one that got away...moved to London to join a punk rock band. No doubt, if he's still alive at all, he's a scrawny old junkie who looks 80, but in my mind, he's the one that got away and I don't think a week goes by that I don't still think of him. Nothing to do with the decent life I have now, marriage family kids work...but I still think of him, as he was back then.

Fat jowls quivering with outrage, enormous gut jiggling, the fed-up loudmouth white man bellows with outrage! The whites are suffering suffering suffering, being edged out by the evil darks! Yes, that is the way the country is heading, white men will be in the minority in the future, and this braying jackass is sounding the alarm! Everyone, grab a gun, some canned goods, and some chewin' tabaccy and run for the hills! WTF does PB care? He's got more money than any 100 of his followers, he can afford to be coddled in the best nursing home in his dotage. Give up, PB, and shut up. Your blatherings aren't going to save the white man, other than stir them up to fruitless UNCHRISTIAN rebellion.

"Home baked cookies are full of glass shards" - cite, please? There's killer cookies being passed out by who, and where? What a crock of hysterical bullshit! Someone is off their meds.

Never watched the show, and I don't care about any of them, but since they are in our faces 24/7 everywhere, I will give my theory. ...Both parents have behaved badly, yes, there is that. But I think everyone is overlooking the fact that they have EIGHT KIDS filling up their diapers (hopefully are housebroken by now). Just having one kid is extremely stressful. Multiply it by eight, and having cameras in the house, and I'm surprised both parents haven't disappeared into the witness protection program. Their house must be utter noise, commotion, and mayhem, with no end in sight for years and years. I pity all of them.

My neighbors (mostly humorless middle class insurance company drones) are heavily into lawn care, when you see them at all. The only gathering I ever went to, they all yakked endlessly about GOLF for 2-1/2 hours. I'm not a serial killer, but I felt at the end of that gathering that I would like to learn to be one.

Yes, if you are a woman who doesn't want to get pregnant, whether you live here or in India or in the 'hood, or a developing nation, the baby pushers suggest you just tell your man "no more sex". Problem solved! Just cut him off, turn off the tap. Can't afford birth control pills at $50 a month? He won't use condoms? He is impatient with natural planning hoo-doo which doesn't work anyway? Just say no, not tonight! He will just agree and meekly accept your decision, right? He won't beat you senseless or rape you or desert you and all the li'l ones still in diapers for a woman who WILL have sex, will he? Well, cheer up - if he does, the pro-lifers are standing by to give you props and maybe a free pack of Pampers, ladies! You show real backbone!

As for Judy, does it have a ponytail and a poodle skirt, and maybe saddle shoes on its wee feet? The only Judy I ever met was back in the 50's.

So women like the gay. They like Twilight and many many many of them love gay porn. Mr. Marche theorizes there's something wrong with this, and so with women. He is metaphorically waving his magic wand around (if you get my drift) saying, hey, over here. And wounded when the women don't come running to get some of that. Ergo, they like to suffer by yearning after teh gays and not the perfectly good straights all over the place just waiting for them to come running. Of course, it's fine for MEN to slobber all over fake lesbians, etc. But women and gays? Un-natural!!! Get a grip, Esquire, you wankers don't know squat about the inner life of women, and you don't care as long as they show you their boobs on demand.

chase12, I feel for you. Retired? At least someone could say, 'so, chase12, what was your job when you did work?" I was a SAHM because we could afford it. I did volunteer work, I was well educated, I was a voracious reader, and yet when I admitted to being a housewife, utter confused silence would ensue. As though I had admitted to some embarrassing petty crime.

but NOT sorry for Cookie. Cookie is for the McMansion dweller who grills shrimp in her spacious backyard and serves it with a nice rose wine. The day before last payday I had to buy a pound of hamburg with a dollar bill and a handful of coins! Both Cookie magazine and the readers of Cookie can go directly to hell.
