    “Show Day! It’s Show Day!”

    As long as Irwin’s going down Postmortem Memory Lane, I thought I’d pull up this one of him on set. I can’t believe he didn’t tell the story of his very first day, when we had to go around the table answering some extremely personal questions concerning childhood trauma. I will never forget that look…

    [readermail] Hey, Pamie. Longtime reader here. I was just wondering what happened to your friend Michelle Biloon, the one who used to run an advice column in your forum with her mother?

Afterwards we walked to my car in the parking garage, only to find someone had hit it, leaving a nasty scrape along the back bumper. “Oh, Pam. That’s…” “Someone hit my car.” “Looks like I’m buying breakfast. Hey, look!…

  • best blurb ever.

    I don’t want to ruin it by telling the joke over here, but Irwin has written a line about my book that should be on the front cover. Go read. Then come back. (Ned-Voice) First of all (normal voice), that’s a very flattering essay (so thank you, sir). But to give you an example of…

  • name dropping at cingular…

    I was on hour “Forget It” with my Cingular phone, and gave one last call to try and figure out if there was anything I could to to resolve the fact that my Treo doesn’t send or receive email. The support rep on the phone couldn’t hear me, and asked if he could call me…
