From Atop Tank Hill

is it bad that i’m so gullible that i thought that sassytrousers at yahoo dot com was the persons actual email, and i *actually* wrote her hatemail?

what am i? in grade 10?

Dooce, you rock as a parent, you rock as queen of the internet and I know that as soon as Leta is old enough to say so, she’s going to tell you all of the things that all the wonderful people here have already said..

… except for when she’s in grade 10.. those years aren’t pretty..

Keep posting those emails because you will see that there are more of us out here in Computer Land that love you, than those of them out there in idiotville who don’t understand you!

I thought the dirt mound WAS tank hill

People are hateful and abusive around here. Yesterday, I got piled on for posting a very timely and helpful sex tips. Today, this “Sassytrousers” person gets piled on for parenting tips. Geez, get a life people.

And yes, I still stand by my statement. If your vagina is out of commission, then put your anus and mouth to use. What is it that you don’t understand? When I broke my leg and was out of commission, I used a crutch to get around. The principle presented here cannot be any clearer.

I like zebob. I don’t understand why many are calling zebob names. He was being funny.

It is more offensive to call someone a name than to be sarcastic.

Assheads.

Please, let’s all ignore womanlover. He is trying to get everyone riled up and I am sure he is deriving lots of pleasure by getting us all upset. He’s not worth it.

i now understand exactly why you had comments disabled on the old version of the site.

idea for dooce v6: threaded message board?

i, too, was thrown off by the grassless, treeless hill. and then i saw that magnificent orange house in the foreground. i don’t think i’ve ever wanted an orange house before, but now i do.

A park?! A PARK?!?! Dude, how much would Chuck (and I) love to climb to the top of that huge mud-hill and slide aaaaaall the way down? Then the Congressman could put his “anus to use” on that giant dookie mound, and be one happy mutt indeed.

Firstly – a threaded style forum would be brilliant, and I would pay a subscripion for that.
Second – Heather, you have real camera talent. More Congressman, please!
Third – just what meds did they give sassyarse? Hallucenogenic is my bet. Stupid bitch.

Ok, I’ve never commented here, but read you for a while, Heather, and think you’re talented, boldly honest and a fabulous mother. If Mrs Pink-and-Frilly Cleaver (because of course a woman of her calibre MUST be married and to Hugh Beaumont to have had children) thinks that all of child birth and child raising is sunshine and lollipops, I think she is one of the original Stepford Wives. Childbirth is painful, messy and far from beautiful. The children they create are. So Mrs. Frilly Slippers can go take a mouthful of psilium fiber and crap herself. Keep fighting the good fight.

Makes everything seem so insignificant…

Beautiful! Where is Tank Hill?

Sometimes we forget there’s the rest of the world out there. Thanks for reminding us.

Always has to be one smart ass in the crowd doesn’t there?

Nice pict.

Beautiful.

And by the way, I’ve lived an hour from SF for about twenty-five years and until now, never heard of Tank Hill.

Nice photo, by the way.

Beautiful blue sky… my son’s eyes are practically that exact same color. The blue is so peaceful and the picture is so crisp. You are quite talented.

Get ready to be amazed because I, too, know about the internet and I plugged in smartass and I received my answer almost instantaneously- zebob.

Good question about the mound of dirt – what the hell is it? And yeah – way too much snarkyness going on here – its not like a hurricane is going to hit you people tomorrow or anything you know – chill out.

Dammit, now I have the “Rice-a-Roni’ theme song in my head.

Ahhh San Francisco, thanks zebob I didn’t know where the hell ‘Tank Hill’ was

I’d like to add some more snark into this mix. That “mound of dirt” is precisely why I haven’t yet removed my heart thereby giving San Francisco the chance to claim it. As a matter of fact, the idea of returning there next week sort of makes me want to throw up.

That mound of dirt is a hill. I live between two of them. They are green for (I hear) a month out of the year.

(I drank too much Maker’s Mark last night. Please note the hangover induced sarcasm.)

LOL!!!

Great pic, Dooce

Nice composition – I like the one red house in the lower left-center of the picture.

I find it very amusing to see these pictures of places I’ve been (like Tank Hill and the Apple Store in Emeryville/SF)… especially since I am a fool and never take a camera with me to the city. That is a very pretty picture. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit (I know it was awhile ago).

That is one of my favorite places in the entire universe. I used to sit on Tank Hill at night when I was lonely and look out at all the lights and across the bay and somehow feel better. What a great memory. Thanks for posting this photo.

I Love that city, beautiful picture.

Wah. I used to live in San Francisco. That pictures is actually making my eyes water. Ouch. That hurts my heart. I hate the East.
