I would say that your BIL’s concerns were likely unfounded. If there were such working programs, they would be on every major and underground torrent site and everyone would have mirror copies of every facebook profile and photo ever hidden or uploaded splayed all over the internet by hatey anonymous folk all the time.

Judgy moms in The Colony? Not exactly surprised. At the same time though, this lady needs to be educated on locking down those social media posts so her next job isn’t similarly canceled before she gets one foot in the door. I don’t think she’s a failure and I would hope her daughter wouldn’t think she’s a failure but…

Don’t copy that floppy. :P

Gee kid, I don’t got a dime...

Well, there’s bar I won’t patron when I have the greasy drunken period shits in Chicago.

2 way mirror. A fucking 2 way mirror. In a bathroom. I’m not usually a fetish-shamer but 99 probs but snooping on pooping ain’t one. :-/

This reminds me a lot of the dubby chill brit stuff that was coming out around 1995-2000. In fact, really reminds me of how the group dubstar would have approached doing this. Would I buy it, probably not. I don’t buy much music these days. Would I throw it on a drive-around-town-chill-mix? Yeah.

I’ve had a few friends like that who used me as the emotional crutch instead of talking to their wives and then eventually dropped the “I want to blow up my life and sleep on your couch” thing. They never realize that I just seem like the cool chick because they have no responsibility to me and they do have…

The choice to split or stay is a tough personal one. I can say that... barring an outlier moment of desperation where the spouse who has cheated makes amends and recommits fully to the marriage and works on their weak boundaries - this will not be his first and only time straying.

Intense personal knowledge on this.…

Therapy is helpful for this exact situation. I used my fat as a cloak of invisibility for years as well. You will be able to work through it, you will be able to meet the worry head-on about “If I lose weight, I will become a target” and “If I lose weight, I will be uncomfortable dealing with people showing…

You can always just say to the date when the topic of sex comes up that you are still a virgin and that you understand that general inexperience can cause problems and inequality in a relationship so that he at least knows what the deal is. Then it is in his court if he chooses to continue to build a good stable…

You know, I feel ya. If there was already suspicion that maybe he was with you (or someone else) before they split, it could be there was a long-standing issue between the both of them regarding perceived cheating. If she keeps pestering you two, really need to sort it out with some legal intervention. The whole idea…

Here is another perspective... granted, we all have that one ex. But, is there any possible substantiation that he perhaps... led her on or is still somehow leading her on? It’s just, he’s telling you to ignore it instead of proactively confronting her and saying “This is my GF, back off”... if for any reason he’s…

Look - recovery is all about taking away the “Is this is okay to have this food and any quantity I feel like eating?” and just looking as food as food. Some days you want more of it, some days you want less of it... it’s just fuel so your body keeps moving. Whatever quantity you have on your plate that you feel hungry…

I think in your sessions, you and your therapist should work on the role your parents played in your esteem building or destroying growing up. I too noticed that you’re this great accomplished intelligent woman who everyone digs... except your parents. If anything, you’re looking for parental validation. It’s okay, I…

You did the right thing in as far as asserting yourself each time you didn’t want to do xyz but I too would be like him in a “Bwuh?” state if I had to deal with the whip-crack decision-changing all day/night long with you. You just weren’t ready for any of this and were having an internal guilt trip over knowing you…

Similar experience as your sis and totally started doing the baggy clothes as well. :-/

I was 10 and was assumed to be 16. I had developed early and was 5’5. When I would ride my bike around the neighborhood, I got catcalled by guys (16-17-18 year olds) my brother’s age. One of them made the mistake of asking my brother if they could take me out and he yelled at them for being a pedo, saying I was just a…

The upside of the recall is that it is forcing me to try other brands - and surprisingly, the private label store brand stuff isn’t half bad. It can’t replace Blue Bell indefinitely (brand/state loyalty, yo) but it’ll do for now. Hope Blue Bell can get this over and done with so they can rebuild the good reputation…

It’s just that I hear stuff like that all the time, Rand. That I-don’t-want-to-make-things-more-equal-because-they-seem-equal-enough stuff.

Damn, is that the truth! My grandmother was a sharecropper who worked the fields, did seamstress work for the community, took up a job in a dimestore in winter, did the landowner wives laundry, and sold baked goods in the cafeterias around town - all just to make ends meet. I stink eye people who think poor women had…
