Can I come? That actually happened in the city where I live ^_^

Not to derail, but that last line just called to mind the other little girls getting jealous over Madeline’s appendicitis surgery.

Yeah... I almost lost my mother to PPD when I was 10, and I’m fucking terrified of pregnancy. Love kids, want to adopt, and have zero intention of running the risk of a. going off my meds or b. risking lung malformations by exposing them to SSRIs in utero.

When I was younger and still gave a shit, I made jokes about giving up nuts for lent (I’m allergic). Now I just tell people I’m going meatless (I’m a vegetarian).

Really? I feel like I get whatever is on sale/I have a coupon for that isn’t the absolute shittiest generics. I think I’ve tried most national brands and haven’t felt much of a difference, other than preferring some sort of applicator.

That’s my reasoning for my decision to adopt rather than have bio kids at 15... seeing the PPD nearly kill my mother when I was 10 really clinched it for me.

I kinda feel the same way... this won’t make them be any better, but at least it saves actual women from having to deal with them.

My kindergarten teacher tried to hold me back for the same reason, citing me as “disruptive”. My mother told her to give me more/challenging work and to see how much less I wandered around and disrupted things.

Oh, they sure do.

Well, I have a chemical imbalance in my brain, and I’m a nightmare when I’m off my meds. I can only imagine how stressed and irritable those poor cats must be :/

My super lazy, calm cat gave me a scratch across my eye when I was little (literally, like Scar from The Lion King) because I grabbed a blanket from behind a chair and didn’t realize his claw was hooked in it. It was totally accidental on my part and understandable on his- sometimes accidents just happen.

My nana told me that the only good thing about chemo was no shaving and no plucking. The hair on her head came back, but nothing else ever did.

Yeah- they’re not social creatures, so they get overstimulated easily and want to be left alone, even if they enjoyed the petting or playing a moment before. I find that most bad human-animal interactions are the result of us not paying attention to/understanding warning signs.

Congrats :)

My ex and I has a DADT open relationship because long distance for 3 years sucks hard. A friend found him on Tinder and told me about it.... I just gave her the story that he likes to look/flirt but not hook up, which was actually true wrt Tinder. It was easier than explaining.

This continues to be relevant, but let’s add in grammar to the spelling.

I fucking love those. It’s the only way I end up taking vitamins regularly. I’d try this, although I certainly wouldn’t shell out $60 for the privilege. .

I can have a bit of that, but what I really dislike is shallowness and vanity. Guys who talk about nothing but sports and diet/working out are as bad as girls whose existence is consumed by clothes and makeup.

I love her!

Listening to alternative music, reading a historical novel, and drinking white wine. I'm so white it's painful, but this is a perfect Friday night.
