Jenny, it is by far one of the worst books I have read in my live! My mother used to say that a person that has to use profanity frequently has poor use of the English language. I have never seen the use of profanity expressed as often as in your book. I cannot believe that it was published by a major publisher! I really would like a refund of my $25.95! I guess I should have read your blog before buying the book, then I would have realized your writing style is not something I would want to read! WTF, ****, ass****, guess this is what will get through to you! I hope you have watched your potty mouth and written words or hide them where Hailey cannot follow in your footsteps! What crap! <strong>(Go home, mom. You're drunk. ~ Jenny)</strong> I just finished reading Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. Jenny, it is by far one of the worst books I have read in my live!

(You know I'm a Grandma because I still have an AOL account.) I know EVERYONE in your book, and in some ways I am everyone in your book. I don't know how to tell you this dear, but you are absolutely normal. Trust me, I'm your elder, I have years of wisdom on my side. I consider myself normal. It's normal, that when you find a centipede in you pants, to peel them off, jump on them screaming DIE, DIE. It's normal that the hot new mailman asks you, "Are you alright?" when your standing there in your panties and T-shirt. It's normal, if you live in the suburbs, to loose faith in your "Neighborhood Watch" after your husband, on his way to work, see's someone hit a deer. Pound on the door at 5 am, telling you to "help" him. The deer fell out of the truck as he turned the corner, he dragged across 4 neighbors sidewalks, and up our drive. It is not normal to be be hosing down the blood trail, and blood clots the size of livers, while mothers and children were going to the bus stop and not one cop car stopped by. Our Neighborhood Watch SUCKS! It's normal to be happy to ignore my "civic duty" to attend any neighborhood watch meeting, ever again. I'm not only wise, but a genius, like Einstein. Normal is "relative," as long as no one ever meets my relatives. OMG LMAO, < see I'm a Grandma, and hip. (You know I'm a Grandma because I still have an AOL account.)

Sad yet true. I also had no running water in my home. We had to rely on the artesian to fill a pan (which took quite a while) and heat it on the stove. Flushing a toilet took us getting a bucket and using lake water to thrust into the toilet and flush it. My dad did not kill animals, but he has carpeted anything imaginable. From walls, to our driveway. Also a dock and even part of the lake. I am one of six, so I understand the sharing of a room, believe me. It's almost comforting to know that my family isn't the only fucked up one in this world. I am only partially into your book, and I can already relate to it. Sad yet true.

Really. But my Mother's maiden name was Lawson.

Everyone, even native americans, are by definition "displaced persons" in this country. No wonder we're so schiz. ps: and no, I’m not trying to increase my chances to win! Really.

For that matter, what difference is there between humans and a self-replicating colony of nano-bots? (notice I juxtaposed the terminology just to see if you were awake). (and "clean and sober"). Someone put some serious hours and study and work into creating this whole shebang, so that the universe can observe and study itself, and sometimes laugh (in the good way) at itself. Some scientists are hoping to achieve the "theory of everything" that explains, well, everything. I hope we never do. Like Zeno's paradox, we will always only be half way there, "halfway to heaven, with paradise watin', just a half-mile away from wherever i am" (john prine, i think, great classic number). But in some obscure interpretation, we are always there but just don't know it at the time.

Yours is the most hysterical books I have ever read. Your chapter on working in the HR department was spot on! I laughed til I cried and laughed some more. What a pleasant day! Numerous passengers took pictures of the book. I bugged the shit out of others with my raucousness! Thank you for writing it and thank you for sharing!

SO, my husband would then hear passages read aloud and he would shake his head and say she sounds like you! Trust me, I am not even close to being as humorous as you but we might have a teensy similarity in thinking along assorted topics simultaneously. Anyway, thank you for the blog which keeps me sane knowing that someone else looks at the world in a slightly off-center way. K.

I have never been able to put into words the way my own ADD/OCD/Anxiety make me feel and how difficult it is to live with.
