I have to remind myself not to listen to your podcast (or anything that has potential to make me laugh) while I'm parallel to the floor. I think I sprained an intestine. Thanks!

Ahm's expository on feminine clothing/appearance made me cry. Too funny. I grew up with a wardrobe of uncomfortable clothes. Made me envy boys for a long time.

I don't know if you guys are still doing the letter writing thing? (well, "emails" now.) It's quite a bad habit of mine. I have this list of recipients of people whom I still haven't creeped out, and I would write to them with long emails every week or so. I try to be informative in them but I'm usually just telling a story about my current failed ventures in pretty much the same register as your podcast…except it's not as rewarding as your podcast. I barely get replies. But it only gets depressing when someone replies to my 6-scrolls-deep of email with:

"Interesting! So how've you been?"

Still, it wasn't much of a bummer to make me stop. Getting tendinitis was. I had to stop writing for 3 months. A couple of people thought I had (finally) died.

Re: more pleasant in writing than in person. 

I'd like to say 'me too' except…I have experienced flipping the switch when a male recipient replies in a fawning manner or keeps asking leading questions that wishes I fawn back at their 'achievements'. Icky, Icky, Icky. I feel the same as when Ahm gets enraged by 'unwanted sexual attention from men'. 

Btw I also pictured a milk parade when I heard the words "milk float". Hard not to laugh given Craig's predicament, which somehow became incidental next to the mental image of marching bands and floats. But I was back to feeling jelly legs when he gave the account on how the paramedic fixed his knee.

(Just figured out how to fix the font.)

I've actually gone full circle with writing… it used to be that I wrote and wrote and wrote and never got any replies, now I feel permanantly guilty that I don't write enough.  I can probably point right now to five things in my inbox that deserve a thoughtful, wordy reply, but just don't have the time to write them,

so at best I'll scribble a note and fire it off.  This really makes me really, really sad.

Actually, no, what I just said was a lie… I do have time to write them, just not the inclination.  After a long day at work it's really hard to find the motivation to sit down and write a coherent, insightful, and hopefully witty letter.  So I don't do it.  And I feel guilty.

I also loved Ahm's speech about women's clothing.  I have to admit it's not something I had ever thought about before, but she makes an awful lot of sense, it was really eye opening.  I really hope that conversation makes one unthinking person other than me stop and consider things just for a second!

I actually feel a bit guilty at the level of annoyance in my voice when Ahm was interrupting my totally awesome story to make a silly observation about milk floats, but I guess most people in the world will see it her/your way and now I just look like a dick. 

Again.

Yo.  This episode is nonexistent.  It's disheartening to my OCD that I have to skip to 9 without listening to this.  I might miss an important plot point!  Regardless, keep up the great podcasts; I love them.
