My mom killed herself a few days ago, and I’m due to give birth to my first kid-and what would have been her first grandkid-a couple days from now. I had to miss the funeral and she was cremated and she didn’t leave a note. I don’t know how I’m going to get the strength to go through labor and take care of this little…

I appreciated your succinct review!

Unrelated, but I got to see The Martian last night and am still excited about it. Plus there was a naked butt scene.

Hmmmmm, I wonder how there’s a difference between one’s agency to do something by one’s own choice and being required to do it for one’s job. Let me think on this for a bit, I’m sure I’ll figure out the difference somehow.

I’d honestly just prefer the third book.

Cooties?

my 3 y.o. daughter put a cheerio in her vagina. I had to pull it out. she asked to eat it and I said “No, we don’t eat things we put in our vaginas.”

Friday LOL.

Considering no amount of money makes up for such abject racially-motivated humiliation...

I didn't like the book that much, but there was nothing Martian about those potatoes.

Really downer of a scene to close the film on, too.

This is my favorite part of the book, please tell me it’s in the movie.

I mean, I tend to be an isolated weirdo but I’m not about to murder people for kicks.

Tipping is the worst thing about America.

...except agriculture yields a commodity, a product... that provides a purpose, meets a need.... how dumb are people to continually compare this to using water for green lawns and infinity pools?

I hope he gets rated honestly on Peeple by all his acquaintances.

That is controlling, potentially abusive behavior. Should you maybe assess whether this is a healthy relationship?

There’s nothing to be jealous of. What my boyfriend does in his private time (including if I’m in the same house but in a separate room) is his private business.

Are you okay with that? I would be hella not okay with my partner thinking they can dictate a) my sexual fantasties/alone time b) what I do on the internet and c) putting a filter on my laptop and stopping me from having a smartphone?! To be very frank, that is controlling to the point of emotional abuse.
