  1. I like how Ana and Cenk’s stories perfectly complimented each other. (Sorry about your friend, Cenk. My condolences.) I bet they didn’t plan that.

    Both stories were about defining your own happiness and living life to the fullest. Nice.

  2. When I randomly feel sad I either A listen to jimmy dores podcast or i do something fun like you did ana (if i can but i cant always)

  3. sontard randomly starts to break dance inside of stores all the time and he is only about 10 years old when he started to do this (a little bit younger when he started) but it is so funny and so kute and a good way to entertain himself when he is bored

  4. Ana i think that happens to alli trippy. I have that happen to me sometimes when i am either done with my period or before i get it by a week or a few weeks. Also NEVER DRINK WHEN YOU ARE DEPRESSED. That is advice from Jimmy Dore as well. I love how you pissed off your for no reason at all about the shopping thing. Ana you are hilarious and awesome.

  5. Jeez-Louise guys… You sense of risk has totally been distorted by the news. You will very likely live to be in your eighties or nineties. You will die of a disease like heart or lung failure or cancer, because those only develop over time.
    If you want to add a few years to your life, eat well and exercise – and don’t worry about low-probability events.

    1. And Ana… At your age the highest risk you face is an automobile accident, usually alcohol-related. And alcohol is another significant killer in advanced age.

  6. I lost my mother to cancer in 2005. She was 72 years old, a wonderful elegant woman who spent the years from my dad’s retirement in 1982 until 2001 in London. They lived there, traveling around Europe, and Asia, took trips down the Nile, and went to visit Guatamala to see the Mayan ruins. Their tour guide decided they could always see the ruins, so he introduced them to the Mayan people living in the jungles. They went to Northern India and traveled through the South. The thing is, my parents didn’t have a ton of money. Dad was just very good and parsing out what they did have. He continued writing and doing journal work (he was a modern Russian historian) and it gave the enough to live in a way I would love to live. Dad is still alive and has a new partner, a lovely German woman. He is 85 and in great health, although a little weak. And they still travel a bit, mostly to Germany, on what he can afford. The rule is, do what you want, be frugal and careful but live. Stashing money in accounts and working all the time is no way to live. Im so glad my mom got to live that way for those 20 years or so. I miss her and yet I am sure she had a damn fine life.
