What’s this obsession about taking the bus and walking home? It’s not like you were walking on water, y’know.

My sis sent me photos of her new granddaughter, from Canada. What a cute baby!

Of course you are. And when that’s not enough, why not smoke some reefer? And when that doesn’t work, hey, let’s do some pills, and then go for a bump of coke and before you know it you’re living in the street jonesing for your next hit of meth. Shame on you.

Canada is the country with more victories in the World Curling Championships, with 36 for men and 17 for women.

So Canada’s good at chasing teapots. How is that a sport again?

Almost freezing, not quite, but cold enough to wear gloves.

Oy such a tragedy you have to wear gloves! Are they too tight on your fingers? Did they break the bank? Allow me to cry some crocodile tears about how you have to wear gloves!! Stop complaining and move to Miami already, then you’ll NEVER have to wear gloves AGAIN!!!

Eating yogurt helps my digestion.

If you didn’t eat so much crap, your stomach probable wouldn’t need help would it.

There is still much “male privilege” attitude in American society that harms women and girls.

“Bad ass” indeed! At her age, I don’t want anyone to praise, or visualize, Helen Mirren’s ASS! Augghh!

I’m glad for your securing your healthcare BUT I decry your stealth attempt to bring political controversy into this thread. First arguments pro and con over Obamacare, then deteriorating into stupid liberal and conservative memes posted and people on both sides called snowflakes,etc etc. We don’t need that!

Well you can wait 20 years, then climate change will turn your frozen tundra into the tropics! We’ll all be underwater then but you’ll be nice n toasty!
