I’m so happy you and Mr. Rex found each other! I love people who love bipolar people. The stigma is so real. Let’s end the stigma!

Hugs! I hate that this is a reality. But I hope the best for you.

They shove them into closets. My conservative inlaws have 5 sons— 2 with bipolar and 1 is a drug addict who probably has undiagnosed mental illness. They’re happy to pay out of pocket to keep them doped to the gills or in psych wards so they won’t have to actually deal with the underlying issues. These boys could be…

Hugs! You sound like my kind of people. My husband is bipolar and after 2 winters of severe depression and a short, election-based mania/hospitalization, the hubs is finally accepting professional help and Latuda!

Hugs— I hope the best outcome for you. Latuda is amazing— there are two people in my life who benefit from it. But the price!!! :(

I agree with you 100%! I also hope your husband is in good health now— illness around the holidays is so hard. My husband was hospitalized December 1, so he was technically well enough by Christmas for his family’s traditional holiday nightmare weekend. The fighting set him back weeks in his recovery (and stressed the…

Ben Whishaw. Yes, please!

Thank you! I always feel like such a prude for insisting on hand washing before sex but IDGAF because UTIs really hurt! I also shower if he goes down. Mouths are dirty- I refuse to die of kidney infection from oral. LOL

That’s true, (except the pupper does watch us pee, tho he does not have fingers). Kudos to you two for raising a kid without imbuing him with a lifelong fear of eternal hell fire... So, that’s nice! He’s very lucky to have you! :)

That makes me extra special as I’m a brown atheist librul— did I mention non-procreating working woman? Their little minds cannot fathom me.

You sound like an amazing person and I think I love you. And you’re smart to stay away from the awful humans. I’m not from the city where we live, so I tried hard to connect with my husband’s family, who were super friendly to my face. Turns out they’re all Trump supporters and when I’m not around they say shit to my…

Exactly! Honestly, pleasure should be a respectable of element of what makes good literature. I doubt it hurts his feelings too much— he must be laughing all the way to the bank.

I think everyone agrees on the nonfiction work. The rest is pretty divisive. I am pro-all of it!

I don’t know where you got that. I was doing my best to refute the public condescension that King gets for being popular and that I get for enjoying his popular oeuvre, specifically addressing her question of whether his writing is actually good or just popular.

100%!

I have a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s in writing. And I get crap all the time for the following fact, but I do not care: Stephen King is hands-down my favorite writer. I’ve read and enjoyed almost all his work. He’s obviously not going to expand your vocabulary or challenge your comprehension, but what…

Headaches are so annoying because the causes are so varied! Have you checked out your vision, allergies, or menstrual cycle? When I young I would get small headaches CONSTANTLY. It was usually fixed with a trip to the optometrist for a new glasses prescription. One time, my optometrist said my eyes were fine and that…

Bursting my bubble over here. I’m a habitual 15k per day stepper and I felt superior about it— until now! I guess I gotta aim for 20k to keep my crown!

Chewing Gum was incredible. I sat and watched it in one day. We need more hype about lady-driven TV!

You just blew my mind. Her character in Fleabag is so terrible and awful compared to her amazing character in Broadchurch that I didn’t recognize her at alllll!
