| Women are not used to dealing with rejection when it comes to sex. | |
| We’re used to dealing with rejection when it comes to the idea of, I don’t know, governing our own bodies, having our own thoughts, getting paid the same for the same job a man does. | |

| Tsundoku Sensei – (Japanese) a master at collecting unread books; someone who buys books and piles them on shelves, tables, and on the floor. | |
| [I have two rooms with a full wall (each) filled with books – maybe – 1 / 10th of them read. In fairness, when we moved from the US to England back in the ’90’s, I got rid of more than six boxes of books I’d read and never went back to. (That’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it.) If only my days were more and the hours longer… — KMAB] | |

| I intend to live forever. So far, so good. | |
| — Steven Wright | |
| [Yesterday I went for a couple of ultrasounds to investigate some pain I’ve been experiencing… It turns out I have a cyst in my groin area, another one in my left kidney, and a stone to go with it. Spherical, approximately 1cm. Fortunately, it’s not currently obstructing the plumbing. So, it looks like a trip to the urologist in the near future and then an out-patient trip to the hospital for some rock-splitting. This will be my third go round. I had it done twice back in the 1990’s. It’s no fun, but it’s definitely better than the alternative – trying to live with a large kidney stone. | |
