On Who Wouldn't Want to Touch Her Feet?
@Alixana YES. Thank you for this. It's a horrible, horrible job, and it's often the only one available for many women.

@pippi bongstocking Dolphins are smart like humans, and they're assholes like humans. Also, <3 your username so much.

On New Friends, Surprise Babies, and the "Rare Phenomenon"
@leon.saintjean My best New Year's Eve in recent memory was spent at home with my wife, dancing as ridiculously as possible (which is very) to nerdcore in our tiny living room. That's how I know it's for real.

On On Second Chances
@Scandyhoovian I just needed to say that no one has said "tough noogies" in my presence in at least 15 years, and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy to read it just now.

On Toxic Dating, "Abominable" Sisters, and the French Manicure
@blahstudent Reading between the lines (or maybe just projecting my own family drama onto things), I got the impression that it was maybe a grey area. LW makes a point of mentioning that her parents are elderly. Maybe they are, either in reality or in her fears, experiencing some degree of cognitive decline, such that it's easy for the sister to manipulate them?

@wharrgarbl Yeah, I think the issue here is guilt-tears more than man-tears. I would be creeped out by a man who never ever cried.

On Apropos of Nada
This is an amazing, amazing story. It speaks to me particularly because in the last place I lived, I had a next door neighbor of a similar temperament to La Serbe, and her name was Carmen; at the place before that, I had a roommate from whom I (passively) learned the toothbrush-knocking trick.
