I got the notice that you replied to my post. I did not get a link to the reply I could easily identify tho. I wound up just sort of randomly clicking on things until I made it back to this comment. Speaking of, what does the "share this discussion" thing do below the conversation? I have clicked it a few times…

I admit I am not a fan so far. It is not intuitive to use. Also it feels like any sort of discussion is being discouraged. I liked being able to have a thread with more than two people participating without having to click back and forth trying to keep who is replying to what straight.

Replying to see what happens.

I'd offer to be a temp troll for you except I have not had nearly enough coffee this morning. You could just use this comment if you like.

I think he had a happy home with his family as an adult. Then he got stuck going to war, which had to be miserable. I don't recall seeing anything about his childhood tho (in the show or books) so let's go with the idea that he is the exception to the rule.

This would be fun! Maybe you both could live tweet it or something if an article is out of the question.

The name "Curl Up and Fry" on the tanning salon had me in hysterics. Hilarious!

My sister is ADHD. She acted out a bit but not to the point of physical violence. She mainly did a lot of screaming and throwing things around. Therapy helped a lot. It helped with the anger issues and also with the ADHD stuff.

Oh no. There is no spider bite privilege. ANY spider bite is a bad spider bite and a horrifying experience. And yes, I live in the south. I tell myself the monarch butterfly migration makes up for the spiders.

I have super sensitive skin to the point that I have to be careful what lotions and make up I use. I get it waxed professionally. I only have the upper lip, chin, and eyebrows done tho. The most that has happened so far is that I got a little itchy after, and had some dry looking patches.

** spoilers for spider grossness too!

If it is something harmless and stupid, I usually let it pass. If it is something that could cause harm to someone either thru action or inaction, or if it is something huge and blatantly ignorant, I call my friends on it. I just try to do it in a factual manner, instead of "holy cow how can you be such an idiot"…

I must be getting old. I am having a new bed delivered tomorrow and I am so excited I can't even sleep. The neat thing is my boyfriend bought it for me. He knows I have a bad back and he hopes it will help me. That is so sweet! We have been dating for almost a year now. He has been hinting around about getting…

Have you checked your local community college? They often have classes like that, usually under the continuing education section.

The wait was horrible, true. When King got hit by that car is when it got really bad. Rumors were flying that he would never write again.

I started reading the Dark Tower books when I was a child. I grew up with the characters. I admit, when I read the last book I cried. I just finished Wind Through the Keyhole and enjoyed it.

Depression is evil. Internet hugs to all having problems.

It can get better, I promise. Go to your doctor. See if there is a physical reason for your depression that can be treated. If there isn't, you can still get anti depressants. You may have to fiddle with which meds work best and dosages, but they help. Therapy also can help. Plus there are a ton of chat rooms…

I am one of those tall women (six feet tall) and go for it! The way I see it, if he is dating someone a foot shorter than I am already, odds are he wouldn't be interested in someone my height even if he was single. Besides, I am certainly not saving the shorter guys for you!

Have you been dating him long? Have you met the kids yet? Speaking from the other side of the coin - a single mom with one kid - I always got to know someone really well before introducing them to my kiddo. I am not saying you are some weirdo or anything. Kids can get attached easily tho. Give yourself a chance…
