Gavin Jones · March 13, 2003

Can't wait to meet you Saturday! I'll buy you a . . . what do you drink?

Bloody Mary?

Great article. Certainly it's made my morning in the office more interesting.

Of course, it's also made me crave a steak, and it's not even that time... :wink:

Liza · March 13, 2003

Brilliant, Maggie! You had me at "chubby". :biggrin:

CathyL · March 13, 2003

Terrific article, Maggie!

sparrowgrass · March 13, 2003

Wonderful--I am immediately forwarding it to every female I know.

PS My daffs are blooming.

Priscilla · March 13, 2003

Really crackling writing.

Fritz Brenner · March 13, 2003

HOORAY!! Maggie, what an honest and enjoyable article. Now, I'll definitely be on a lunchtime chocolate search... :raz:

I too am excited to meet you on Saturday!

"Rampage of the Chocolate Nun"...oh God of Wisdom!

Way to go, Maggie!!

Thank you so much for that article. I forwarded on to my husband, who this week watched in awe as I ate raw cookie dough while weeping at the Tim Horton's commercial of the kids in Scotland getting a Timmy's coffee maker. We're newlyweds.

Right On.

malarkey · March 13, 2003

excellent Maggie! Me too, I'm sending to all my girlfriends :raz:

maggiethecat · March 13, 2003

PS My daffs are blooming.

Now this is worse than seeing pictures of orphaned kittens. I may have to weep uncontrollably and find the leftover Hallowe'en candy.

One or two tiny croci up here.

My favorite quote:

"Vitamin E is said to help counter anxiety, depression, and feelings of homicidal rage. "

Ah, the ever-useful vitamin e, for those frequent bouts with inconvenient homicidal rage...

Maggie, you crack me up. A marvelous article, and best of all, impeccably and stylishly written. And no, I'm not just saying that because it's the end of the quarter and I'm buried in student writing! You have an excellent voice in your prose, and we're all enjoying it immensely!

Heading back to comma splice watch,

You crack me up too! Thanks.

It takes one hell of a woman to watch those comma splices!

Great article!

Many thanks, Rackula.

And welcome to eGullet. Hope to hear much more from you...about everything.

Best,

Maggie

Brilliantly, and comically, done! I have sent this off to a couple of girlfriends, and one guy friend, who will certainly get a giggle from this. :laugh:

DITTO!!! Way to go, Maggie!

Now can you do one about breastfeeding?

elyse · March 17, 2003

A nice read Lily, thanks for sharing. And FG, thanks for pointing it out.

But what's so shameful about two hours on the couch, wallowing in a pint of Chubby Hubby and admiring Ralph Fiennes's bare butt while you sob your way through The End of the Affair? Nothing. Or so I thought.

Forgot to ask, may I choose someone else's bare butt?

maggiethecat · March 17, 2003

Elyse, my sister:

Anyone's tush you desire could replace that of the ineffable Ralph! You're in charge, remember. :biggrin:

Claire: Breastfeeding. Hmmm. I'll pitch it to FG!

Note: Gentlemen, to pass a pleasant half-hour, plug "Voluptuous" into Google.

Half an hour? I'll see you in a week. Or so :wub:

A Scottish Chef · March 17, 2003

Other than my gratitude for the marvellous diversions you suggested, I'd like to also say I laughed like a maddie at your article. Hilarious and bitingly accurate in eqaul measure.

Thank you Maggie! :smile:

Ye-Ye Girl · March 18, 2003

Ditto all the good stuff everyones else has already said.

Like others here, I forwarded it to my girlfriends as well, and they have now forwarded it to their girlfriends.

It was the topic of conversation at my girls' night out last week.

The Dude was laughing hysterically when I read it to him yesterday. "Freaking hilarious" were his exact words, I believe.

Kudos to you, Maggie, and thanks for writing it!

stellabella · March 25, 2003

magda, i like your style, and i hope egullet gets more of you, dahlink.

maggiethecat · March 25, 2003

magda, i like your style, and i hope egullet gets more of you, dahlink.

Estrellita: Gracias!

(And I'm working on it as we speak.)

Half Full! · April 16, 2003

Thank you for adding sustenance to my day!

Menses are no more, but the cravings linger. Although perhaps harder to rationalize, why put aside what is good and sensuous?
