Same. I’m a famously compassionate person, and I find myself wishing for multiple deaths multiple times per day. It’s discomfiting to me, that a political situation has brought this to my surface. That, beyond my spiritual and emotional exhaustion, I seem to have an infinite, bubbling spring of fury and bad feelings…

Well, he has the burden of a great potential.

I wish y’all would point me to the legal avenue to take when our majority legislative party is part of a coup d’etat. So I’d calm down.

So, wait. They’re either fake news or they’re leaks. I wish the WH would pick one.

Nobody does Luminosity like Luminosity does Luminosity but hey. If I could go down on me, I would. Since I can’t, I have a trained husband who will. No humblebrag, just fact, and it’s one of those things that keeps me married. heh.

THANK YOU. Well said.

It was shade with an icing of shade.

I should have, but instead I kegeled my little heart out. Great payoff. :)

I actually moved a chamber pot right next to the bed so I could get up and pee without actually waking up. I think I caught up with the lost sleep about the same time said child graduated from high school.

My most vivid memory of pregnancy is having to pee literally every 15 minutes in month 9 once she flipped into head-down position. Every.15.minutes. Congratulations! :)

That’s a lot better than my conversation with my rep last year, where he told me outright that he wouldn’t *even consider* my concerns because obviously I didn’t vote for him (he was right), and he had to represent “all” of his constituency. Yeah, the logic escapes me.

I already saw Atonement.

I know just how you feel! I’ve been so shaken by my new cynicism, having seen the people that I thought I knew for the people they truly are, that I’ve spent a great deal of time since the election in a Xanax-and-Cheeto haze. I see no end in sight.

I think he’s afraid of an assassination attempt. He’s going to have to stand there, outside, in the weather, and take the oath of office. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t wear his...brown suit.

“Withhold judgement until we have your money. Then, who cares?”

What they will do “down the line” (in August) will be behind closed doors or as a rider on a bill Democrats really want.

Re boundaries. I have also been in therapy about this, and I’ve concluded that, especially for women, it’s our having been enculturated — is that a word?— to want to please everybody. If it works, we feel good; we feel that we are accepted and accepting, everything is copacetic, and we relax our boundaries. However,…

I’ve just had Hannibal on an endless loop since the end of 2015. That, and Archer, and sometimes I conflate the two, which makes an entirely new and somehow perfectly appropriate show.

You were in his after-dinner room!?

I see an auto-erotic asphyxiation headline—strangled by 30 feet of multi-colored, braided, faux-silk scarves, and even typing that was too long to think about it.
