It’s weird how you can literally *feel* the kinetic energy of a compressed spring. When I loaded up a couple during a suspension change, I handled them like they were land mines.

Yes scary, but necessary at times. Still don’t understand the initial post.

I think it’s perfectly fine to be attracted to and prefer to date older men.

I’m so glad you got the car back. And good method, too.

My (totally unsolicited) advice: Wear (or buy) an outfit that you feel really, really good in. I was in almost the same situation a few months ago. I am heavier than I am comfortable being, and I avoid photos and time with my extended family (who can be quite judgy). When I knew that I had to go home and see them, I…

Anyone still up? My baby is a month old and is now as of a week ago a horrible sleeper. We may try to go to bed anywhere from 9-11pm and sometimes she will not settle until 3 or 4. The hubs went back to work this week so that sucks so much. We are running on so little sleep. I know that’s cliche and everyone says it…

I have been waiting with baited breath for this SNS, because I have gossip.

In the ongoing saga that is my mother-fucking life right now.... just to catch people up: Me and my exboyfriend split up about a month ago. Things ended badly. He quickly went from zero to asshole, and the more I thought about it, the more I’m glad we’re no longer together. He basically stepped in and played happy…

I gardened today and grossly underestimated how much dirt my tiny little raised beds would take, so I was back and forth a lot. I’m tired. And probably sunburnt, but barring a catastrophic hailstorm like we had last year, I should have veggies*! I still need to plant corn. And check my potatoes for ones that are…

We have hares. I saw one my first day at my new place, in the back yard. And today one scampered down the street out front then ducked into our yard to eat dandelions. (I think that’s what it’s eating.) I need to work on my video skills, because they’re cool to watch. Here’s a pic from Tuesday.

I’ve tended to be in relationships with older men in the past. (Friendships with women, too.) I think it’s because I just don’t have that much in common with people my own age. When you’re closer in age, people expect you to be more like them. That’s not an issue when people are significantly older or younger.

My cousin dated an older guy one, and he was nice, but she says what really killed the relationship is that he was just in a different place in his life than she was. She was in her twenties, wanting to smoke pot and hang out late with friends and go to bars and all that stuff, while he was in his thirties, and having…

I just started taking birth control pills for the first time a week ago, and my breast are soooooooore. Like, day-before-my-period, all-of-my-cysts-are-full-of-fluid sore. Please tell me this is normal and going to subside, preferably in time for me to fit into a bridesmaid dress in a couple of weeks.

Vent alert: I’m really sick of entitled people.

Is passion overrated? Underrated? I would say that I’m not really “passionate” about anything. I like lots of things; sometimes I like them a lot. But I wouldn’t say that I’ve ever been passionate about, say, a boyfriend. (But I was in love with my boyfriend.) I’ve never been passionate about a hobby, either. But I’m…

Today was my birthday party in which my grandma basically blindsided me and brought a random boy my age to the party. It was just supposed to be my mom, grandma, and I. Out of nowhere my grandma says her husband is coming to stop by and wish me a happy birthday with a co-worker. His co-worker happened to be my age and…

Oh boy am I a disaster. I’ve been sexting a dude on tinder. Like a lot. And we talked on the phone twice. Like highschool style, long calls. He’s working 7 days a week and just never made plans to meet. So he calls on a week night and says he wants to come over. I say no and I’m teasing him because I didn’t think he…

Hey Jezzies! I didn’t get to post last SNS since I was in a wedding and it was an alllllll day event. My slip didn’t work out with the dress but it’s ok because I somehow lost just enough weight to comfortably wear the horrendously tight bridesmaid’s dress the bride bought for me (even though I had asked her to…

Two weeks until my daughter’s wedding and I am starting to lose my shit. I never knew how many itty bitty details were involved in making a wedding come together. F. M. L.
