Thanks for the tips! I've had like 4 cups of tea today, and it's starting to get boring, but I'll keep at it.

Sundays: Drinking pg tips and writing an anthropology midterm paper. FUN. FUN. FUN. Please tell me that you guy's had a much better sunday then I did?

I thought the same about orange creamsicle vodka drinks and Pride and Prejudice. It's not helping. Let's wallow in our blah together.

Seriously though, I'm sorry you're feeling the same as me.

I remember watching Gilmore Girls, Melissa McCarthy was Lauren Graham's best friend on the show and she was able to be funny and play a crazy character and not once was her weight ever involved. The same goes for two other frequent recurring characters played by Sally Struthers and Liz Torres, both heavy but the…

Jesus, why are the options 'cheat' or 'leave'? What about 'work on your marital problems together'? The problem here is a commodity, consumer-based culture: a marriage is just a product, and like all products, it's supposed to make you happy; if it doesn't, you either quit using it or get a new one. But that is such a…

But his semen was inside the murder victim. I think that's just called evidence.

So, I'm moving to the UK from the US (I'm a Brit still). But big question..I am taking Ms. Princess Sophie Fancypants, beloved Maine Coon. Problem is she has to fly cargo, but its a direct flight. This is worrying to me, I have heard horror stories about airlines, i.e Delta losing pets! Also she's mellow but I…

It sounds very much like she's still in an abusive relationship, but he has just honed his ways of controlling her. She didn't put up with the physical abuse, or he realised for whatever reason that phisically hurting her wouldn't have worked if he continued with it. Speaking from experience (as I have no doubt, most…

There's no worse feeling than when your ex moves on quickly, no matter how badly it ended. I remember back in the day crying myself to sleep many a time over the one that got away. I couldn't even imagine going through that heartache in public. Miley might be young and rich and famous, but I wouldn't wish those…

So I've reached an age, 28, where a lot of my friends are in serious relationships, getting married, having kids, and just generally being adults.

I just wanted to come on here and say that last weekend I went on my first alone camping trip. It was awesome, and I feel like my Walden weekend of self-actualization was very rewarding.

I've been lucky to have had really good choices in the cities I've lived in. I will acknowledge that privilege. WF is a good standby if there are no other options. But in a city with options it's my least favorite place because it is sooooo expensive and not great about carrying local products. I'll only go if I…

SOMEONE PLEASE LIFT ME FROM THE GREEEEEYS.

If given proper choices, who actually prefers WF?

I broke up with someone who I really loved because of personal issues (and distance played a factor). In my opinion, the most important thing is to give yourself space. All you want to do is keep talking to them, hearing their voice, "being friends," but none of that will help you move on. It's perfectly…

It hurts but you have to let it hurt. Shutting it away is not the answer. So for the short term, stay in bed under covers and let the hurt in. Because it will leave eventually and something better will replace it. Listen to Leonard Cohen, who will make you cry but in a good way.

The context REALLY strongly suggests that Red Riding Hood's entire journey of discovery in the show is about sexuality. The wolf sings her a song that is basically about eating her out; then in her song, she sings about being "excited and scared" when he "swallowed me down" to "where lie secrets I never thought to…

Oh, I am feeling your itchy pain. I thought we had bed bugs, which sound so trendy, but we just have common, filthy fleas. Everywhere. Find the "Ask a Clean Person" post on pests, because she had great suggestions specific for each nasty critter.
Since Friday, I am washing all the bedding on all four beds every day.…

I have found over the years that the first people I meet in a new place are not the ones I truly become friends with. So the fact that you haven't found a group of friends yet may mean you don't invest time in people now that you have to avoid later :). Sometimes it can take a while for everyone to feel each other…

Jezzies... in some pain and doubt. Would really appreciate some insight.
