This may not be of great comfort, but the signs were likely there. Both depressed, probably subtly withdrawing and stressy? I'll give him this: he got honest about why he's unable to do the "us" thing right now. That doesn't help currently, but further down the line once the healing begins, you will be thankful he…

Holla, Beans. Outskirts of H-Town, too and mid-30s. I'm kinda in that same boat as you socially. Wear what you want, rock how you wanna roll and even though these people have Opinions That Matter To You: if they love ya, they will back off.

Did he always want to date Carmen Sandiego or something? Gah, that guy. I'm sorry.

Nuking him from orbit would be kind to the rest of the populace. I'm so sorry she had to deal with that, but wow is she so much better off. Onwards and upwards!

Man, I've already been seeing the first warning shots in a few marriages and partnerships around me. I've told my boyfriend "Don't you dare, just do it now and don't wait" and he laughed at me because who wants to be alone and trolling for new people during sadpants holiday season.

That is actually a cool idea, coppertree.

She's angry because Jan took the last apple from the fruit basket in the cafeteria and didn't eat it immediately. Damnit Jan, that apple was going to save lives! :P

This is great information and I agree with others that this should have its own article. My family came from farming (cotton, wheat, corn, sheep, cattle, and orchards) 2 generations ago so our knowledge is a little dated, but some of your examples remind me of what my grandparents often talked about re: factory…

It's 'Go'. :D "You know I'm 17 and probably shouldn't be drinking this beer, right?" :D

Ah, The Cure. Been there, haha. Smoked out my little hatchback and sat there thinking "Need to drive...can't drive. It's 3am. Need to be home. Lost my boyfriend. Need my bed." and jamming A Forest and New Order's Blue Monday over and over again.

I like seeing non-models in a store's clothing so one can see fit, comfort, and styling. There needs to be more of this. :)

All the fat lil tummies! *explode*

Gridlock was epic for Tennant vs cats. :D

Friend of friends of the Bush family and I have similar experience. And I'm lower classed Independent folk. Met him at said friends house. He was nothing but sweet and being friendly with everyone around him, even taking time to chit-chat with staff. I expected a stuck up dude and he gave me a howdy and asked if I…

See it. A little predictable a few times but you'll be laughing and crying enough it won't even matter.

I saw this yesterday and on a Monday morning in a packed (yes, packed!) theater, I can say this was well worth the money spent. I knew they had a third coming out just as soon as I saw the lay up for the last scene. But I'm completely cool with that. Please don't make it take 10 years.

My graduating class in high school was close to 500 students. The majority of my friends came from Orchestra, Girl Scouts (spanned all races and ages, we spent 8 years together) and assigned classes (surprisingly not many from short term/one semester electives). Then there were the kids who rode the bus with me. There…

Steve I'm Always Shirtless And In Tiny Shorts Guttenberg?! AHAHAHAHAHAHA. :D I'm dying! That is just awesome.

Also, kinda jealous about the Sinbad flight. I was mad crazy for him during his Afros/Bellbottoms tour.

Miley would totally get pissy like Preston if she could see the similarities.

I offer a different perspective: sometimes you need to know that guy you've been dating seriously has a kid he shirks on child support payments on (and never told you about) but will take you out on a weekend trip costing the same as one child support payment.
