Yeah I don't speak to my Dad. he beat the shit out of me my whole life and still will routinely terrorize me and my siblings by calling repeatedly and scream at us. My little brother has changed his number at least 20 times. my mom isn't a whole lot better. She is the constant victim. So yeah, shitty day. I think I'm…

I reconciled myself to ignoring my Dad on his day. He's a complete prick and bully to all of his kids and all 8 of us have cut him off. I spent Father's day with my Mom, two of my sisters, and all of their progeny. I was the Uncle who rides in from out of town and gets doted over. I spent about 3 hours in a pool,…

I am ready for GofT

Oh, i thought the commercial would be dads in their underwear showing off their 'real' bodies. I'm sorry, i guess that's only for women because all men's bodies are automatically 'real'.

I know this is a cliche of prudish 1950s morals, but separate beds is a very good idea.

I feel like Hank Hill would characterize the experience somewhat differently.

I just read that Henry Cavill's college major was Egyptology. And like. Stop it. Jesus, enough. ENOUGH. You are hot ENOUGH! You're just piling on, now.

Well gee. I sure hope he's not one of those guys who feel entitled to all the arm rests and knee room. But I would not be shocked.

Seriously. Is there anything more selfish and weird than surrogacy? Here, peasant woman, take this money and bear our spawn.

I completely understand. I really should look into getting EMDR myself, as I've been stuck in the angry/bitter emotions about the fun psychological stuff my father and step-mother put me through. I've been assessed and told that I really am an ideal candidate, so would just need to get around to either get myself on…

Good luck! Doing therapy right is really really hard and exhausting, but also SO worthwhile.

YAY!!!!!! :D Well done you! Don't forget that you made a very big step just showing up for the appointment. And remind yourself every time you see your therapist how important it is for you just to go to the sessions, no matter how frustrated you might get.

Hugs. Therapy can be frustrating because (at least for me) it's not a quick fix, and the process isn't fun. But I hope in the long run it will make things a lot better for you.

I dig in this Wednesday. I'm scared as hell.

Anyone else watching The Normal Heart? Gay Tim Riggins confirmed for best Tim Riggins.

I'm making tuna salad. Oh sure, this may sound boring, but I make it with my own homemade garlic aoili, grainy french mustard, and finely diced red onions. I'm really looking forward to it.

What up, Sunday Jezzies! I drunk-posted a comment on yesterday's diet-related article about how I'm not organized enough lately to eat well. When I woke up today, I was like 'wait, why?' So, I blew off reading a couple of shit-tier papers from my to-do list, went on a long walk in the beautiful sunshine with the…
