This is veg-nog, tho. So Delicious. And it really is!

I have two half-drunk bottles of reasonable red wine, and several choices of good scotch whisky. Rum-and-nog is also an option. Or Cointreau and nog (seriously - try it!) I can’t decide what to drink.

I nearly broke up with my boyfriend on NYE day because he bailed on spending NY-actual-Eve with me. I nearly break up with him in my head all the time. But then when he’s with me, I melt. The sex, man, the sex. I’ve never had it so good. And he’s just so present when he’s with me, in a way no one ever has been. But he…

Six Chinese dumplings from frozen and half a container of So Delicious ice cream. I’m on a health food kick.

Maybe she has REALLY BIG hands.

Books! Always a good christmas with books. And tea and truly beautiful new mugs for it, and a lovely bottle of single malt and whisky glasses... And my kid and her sweetie were here - best when I get them for Christmas day. I don’t begrudge his family, but you know, I always want them for the actual day. And we had a…

FFS, there’s enough dogs that need homes that we don’t need to be re-creating dead ones. How about, your dog dies, you get another one? Loving another dog (cat, whatever) does not negate your love for the previous one. Life is a long series of animals that we’ve loved. My present dogs do not replace my previous dog -…

Right? Wtf has she got to apologise for??

Oh thank the gods, she deleted it when she noticed that I’d forgotten to hang up, missed the singing entirely!! I’ve been squirming with anxiety all day waiting to hear back from her, but all is well. She is sorry to have missed it. But I’m not!

Oh yeah, that helps. Thanks awfully.

Thanks - I’ve actually done a lot of reading, and I know it’s anecdotal at best, but I did wonder if I could find anyone who’d actually done it. I’m defs not averse to piercings anyway (have had a couple of facial piercings for many years) so I’d be willing to do it just for the aesthetics (although I also know it…

Well, yeah, those would be a different order of embarrassment for sure. But you haven’t heard my singing. :-(

Hey has anybody tried a daith piercing for migraines? I just read about it recently, and I’m thinking of giving it a whirl because really, had it up to the eyeballs with the migraines and if a piercing can stop that, I’m so down. So any reviews would be welcome.

Me too... I’m very much hoping it cut out before the line did. Because, I really put some oomph into these carols, you know. I do the voices. Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, I’m there. This could be verrrrry embarrassing.

Yep! I too am avoiding two things! Instead, I am baking cookies, colouring my hair, intermittently watching Jessica Jones, and singing carols to my dogs.

I just called a friend I haven’t spoken to in a wee while; no answer so I left a message. Some time later, after I had sung a Christmas carol or two to the dogs, the phone said “Hang up now” so I am wondering just how much of me singing carols to the dogs went on that message.

Was that “private” evidence in the form of unmarked bills?

Thanks for that. Re-reading my post I can see that what I’m asking is “When should I stop looking like me?” and I guess the answer should be obvious. It’s gonna change the look of the old age home one day.

This may not be that useful as a suggestion, but I had acne clear through till I was 32 and got pregnant. That kid cured it. I’ve had lovely skin ever since.

So, I have a question that I can’t seem to find anywhere/anyone else to ask: At what age is it inappropriate to dress like you always have? I’m in my early 50’s (jesus, how...) and I’ve noticed that my same-age coworkers are starting to dress from like, old-lady stores or something, cutting their hair short, being...…
