I also hail from CA and I also bemoan the lack of culture (and water)... and I also loved wandering through free museums on drizzly days in London! I lived in London for a study abroad year and it’s my deepest desire to return as a professional.

Happened to my husband, except bipolar with psychotic episodes. In general, I really do think pot is less of a public menace than alcohol, but in certain cases— particularly with adolescents — I do believe it can cause temporary and permanent brain chemistry issues. On the bright side, no psychosis reported since he…

My parents were divorced and had completely opposite approaches to money. Now I’m a jumbled-up mess! I have my dad’s propensity to spend all my cash on restaurants and entertainment, with no thought toward the future, as well as my mom’s frugality when it comes to literally everything else. I won’t think twice about…

Never be afraid to look deranged. Even though I can’t think of a single occasion where it would be appropriate, I just impulse-bought this dress.... and then, once the floodgates were opened, this necklace to go with it. (they uploaded in reverse order, but even if I bought the necklace first, no part of this look is…

Hahaha! Yes— I’m always at or near the limit, so I’m “forced” to take a random day or two off each month or lose them. It sounds ridiculous, but it’s true for those of us a little too strapped for cash to travel extensively at the moment.

That does sound fantastic! My bff suggested the same thing. I do love lazing around with the pup all day! He’s my best buddy.

Oh no! I missed the lulz. :(

Jeez! I didn’t say they’d die. I said their hearts would break (total hyperbole) from missing me.

Why so aggressive? I never said he couldn’t take care of my pup. I said they’d both be sad if I left for an extended vacation. I’d miss them too. Calm your tits.

LOL. That’s not the issue— I did take a week in Florida on my own earlier this summer. But back in the freewheeling pre-puppy days, I would probably have taken the whole 5 weeks at once.

Sounds rough— another reason I’m child-free for life!

Enjoy it! I was just filling out my timesheet and realized I have a solid four weeks of PTO at my disposal. But I can’t abandon my husband and dog for a whole month— it would break their little hearts. Womp womp.

So much this! I always cringe and think “You can milk anything with nipples.”

Now that you mention it, I can kind of imagine people judging her as weak and vapid because she’s scantily clad and bubbly. But that’s just a matter of discrediting feminine traits. I relate a lot as a bubbly, high-pitched, cute dress-wearing grown-ass woman. :/

I thought maybe it was from this?

I’m with you! She was also the most heroic, loyal, and most “down for whatever” of all the villains—- she pushed them all to do better. Of course, it’d be better if she didn’t call them pussies, but she really was kind of a leader throughout, helping to unite the team. She was also just a damn pleasant person— I loved…

So much has changed! I remember picking on my then-bf/now-husband’s roommate for looking & talking like Lochte. Now he has since moved out, best-manned the wedding, and then had a fall-out with my husband, never to speak to each other again!

Ugh, so is mine! He suggested we cull our bookshelves, and my jaw dropped. You don’t get rid of books! That’s not a thing— I just assumed every house was like my childhood home where every wall is lined with bookcases holding every book the family ever purchased until they die and the whole lot gets donated to friends…

that sounds illegal. why is that part of your duties??
