What annoys me, and has become quite common lately, are people who write in to advice columns who deliberately obscure the gender of everyone mentioned in their letter. They, spouse, sibling, child, partner.
Since I was in college, I've read every advice column I've been able to get my hands on, as a way to make up for my complete social cluelessness. Dear Abby, Ann Landers, Miss Manners, Carolyn Hax, Care & Feeding, Captain Awkward.
I try to picture in my head the people involved in these situations. But I cannot picture a genderless person - my mind short-circuits and just gives me a sentient cloud of fog!

while they have some tricks those will be impenetrable to patients.
I know that if the ending of the name is the queen of the fae, it's going to be really fucking expensive.

They should go back to the old-fashioned "Dr. Billings' Soothing Syrup" type names.

Other than losing my hair and having to urinate every hour or so, no. I guess I got lucky in my genes.

Who said I was young?

40?? I'm already 57. I walk eight miles a day and I'm still in great health (though I put down enough beer that my liver probably isn't thanking me (I never get hangovers though)), but that can't last forever.

And even if you're healthy, what happens if you get Alzheimer's? You wouldn't even know it, and eventually you'd either freeze to death trying to walk to work or get in a car accident if you still drive.
I have never been in a romantic relationship and furthermore have no friends or loved ones, and the very day I become conscious of physical or mental deterioration, I'm checking into a hotel and euthanizing myself with the strongest poison I can get my hands on.
I'm remembering a 1954 movie, and it's worth a chuckle pretending that them refers to giant ants.
