Is this your first time here? So the first time he dumped me I tried to get the lubricants hat as a relationship souvenir. He says it’s too much to make room for me and the kids at the same time as helping me and the kids hatch chicks. Now you can figure out why (and then record yourself screaming at your boss about it.)

Is this your first time here? This used to happen all the time. On a good day, I eat ten apples. On a bad day it's one apple and ten apple pies. Well that, and my diary, featuring entries like, “Granma hayts me. They worry that weird will overshadow all the good about me. I learned to needlepoint there.

Is this your first time here? Because the people who hate me most hate me because they say I don't really do anything, I just talk a good game. Then all of them should be listening to this webinar because I'm going to tell you how to talk a good game. Good luck with the wedding! I'm great at that.

Is this your first time here? But in the past, during the time I was lost, I simply stopped writing. And, at the same time that I realized that English professors make no money and have no job security, I also got dumped by the guy I had been living with for five years. There were other times I fell apart. I know that.

Is this your first time here? The time I most consistently lose my temper is trying to get the kids out of the house in the morning. But a lot of times I change my clothes but all my clothes look the same so I don’t even get credit for having thought about it the night before. This is good. I am both those people.

Is this your first time here? Newsflash: No one could write in the Middle Ages, when the good writers wrote in Latin and everyone else spoke colloquial languages like French and English, which priests told them were too lame for real writing. I remember the first time in my life I heard about people who can’t write anymore.

Is this your first time here? Here's a good link about that.) Also, there are so many pieces of our life that we tell at different times to different people. Email is not a good tool for ideas. It’s a good tool for sniggling details. Good orgasms make good sex for everyone. But, so what?
