I’m sorry to hear this. I hope she recovers.

Thank you. I will absolutely adopt another senior dog once my finances recuperate from the past year of dog-related expenses. xoxo

Oh my gosh, Jazzy’s faded face is lovely. This seems vaguely familiar so I may have read about your loss back in August. I am very sorry that you are also experiencing this pain. Thanks for your kind words.

Oh no, I’m so sorry. It seemed like Hoagie was immortal too and he was also kind of a jerk but he was MY jerk. Maybe the two of them will be friends in the afterlife. I bet they’d get along. Positive vibes right back at you.

You are welcome. I share your coworker’s pain. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much in one day as I did on Tuesday (and have cried at least one every day since then). I bet your card and cookies meant a lot. They sure would have to me. I have expectantly checked my mailbox every day, hoping for that acknowledgment of…

It has been four days since my best friend went to the Rainbow Bridge. Hoagie was a 16 year old beagle I adopted when he was 8. He meant a lot to me and I meant a lot to him, which meant a lot to me. Luckily I could be with him when he was put to sleep. He was the last remaining joy of my life and practically my…

Nah, not interested in justifying my distrust and dislike for men who are aroused by violence against women. Bye now.

It’s not a double standard. Fantasy about being raped are not the same as fantasies about raping.

Thank you and I am sorry for your loss. My baby will cross the bridge on Tuesday. I will tell him to be on the lookout for yours.

Yes. Anyone who prioritizes “anti kink shaming” (massive eyeroll) over women’s safety and security can go fuck themselves (which they will probably enjoy anyway).

“You are hanging around with the wrong crowd”

Wishing you wisdom and peace as you go through the same thing. xo

Thank you Tina. I think you may be right and don’t find it brutal at all. I’m finding myself being rather pragmatic here at the end. <3

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. Sure enough, this morning his cognitive symptoms seem to have worsened considerably so I am probably going to contact the in-home vet to schedule a visit this week. Normally I’d be sleeping right now but he peed in the kitchen, fell into it and then got stuck behind my toilet so…

OK well don’t be surprised when the guy who fantasizes about raping crosses a boundary in real life.

Women who have fantasies about being raped: fine. That doesn’t actually harm anyone. It’s men who fantasize about raping who raise my hackles and any guy who gets hard when he thinks about, simulates or actually rapes a woman is threat, imo.

The time has come for me to begin considering euthanasia for my 16 year old dog. I am struggling because he does not have a disease (aside from cognitive dysfunction, and a thyroid issue for which he is being treated) that is terminal or that would normally indicate he is ready to die. I had a consultation with an…

It is very seldom not the husband so assuming it was doesn't quite amount to a conspiracy theory.

Tasks men cross off their honey-do lists (compiled by women, natch) once a quarter are totally comparable to the work women do day in and day out, doncha think?

Oh I have nothing but contempt for them. It’s a wasteland out there for single 30+ women, unless they’re into men their dads’ age.
