I am now, and will always be, gray.

I’m with you. Why does everything I love have to change?? WHY!?!

I totally relate to everything you wrote. I have worked and not worked, have a degree and a family. But I think it does all seem pointless. You are only on the earth a short time and if you wanna game, then do it. If you wanna work, then work. Eat what you want. Do what you want. That might sound aimless to some…

Yes. Yes, I can.

Similar story here. Mine was the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I was 13 and my mother just said I had cramps! After a day of crying and begging, my dad finally took me to hospital. Surgeon said my appendix had broken off and migrated halfway across my abdomen, and I could have died. (I used this to guilt my mother for…

Yes to all of this. I grew up in Dallas. It is an ugly city. Houston is better in almost every regard - streets, food, activities, location, even the traffic. Dallas has just gone downhill. I don’t live there now. I moved to an even worse shithole in Texas! Yea for family ties!

My birthday is the best. Because it is shared by Patrick Stewart and Harrison Ford. Just sayin'.

I think what you are describing is perfectly normal. Your feelings about it, I mean.

I had no morning sickness, only a bit of tired…

Oh and the ending of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, which was on TCM last weekend, I think. Wow, that movie really surprised me!

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. When Li Mu Bai dies...

Beautiful, passionate, and true. Thank you for writing this, Kara! Thank you!

Married 36 years here - most of them happily. As the years have passed I have found that having autonomy is more important than constant or insistent togetherness. I am much happier now when I go to bed when I want, and he does the same. He is a morning person, I am a night owl, so we have never really meshed in this…

This. This is what I wanted.

This is my cousin! And she is a true animal lover in every sense of the word. She fosters baby kittens and finds homes for them in every city she goes to. She works for animals just as much as they work for her. And believe me, you cannot get a cat to do something it does not want to do. These cats actually like their…

Looks like a baby Ewok!
