    • @murraystewartj
      @murraystewartj Před rokem +4

      I find Mary's explicit indifference to be strangely attractive, as if she's channeling all the women I've known intimately over my long life, including my current wife. If Mary and I were a couple I can see a typical conversation with her:
      Me: Sweetie, I was just thinking about....
      Mary: (interrupting with a dismissive "go away" hand wave) Yeah, whatever.

Unfortunately, I couldn't send in my question regarding "Viewer Mail", because you stopped featuring "Viewer Mail". So I'll ask here and now: Why did you stop featuring "Viewer Mail"?
