Right now I’m paying $250 per week or $13,000 per year for Baby State to go to a daycare where I have to provide all meals. It’s more than my mortgage.
HOWEVER, I could knock this down to around $11k -ish per year if I put him in a “not so great” daycare where the people are not certified in early child development,…

I always thought baby showers were supposed to be a surprise. You don’t invite the baby mamma, you tell the dad to get them to the location. This has literally been every shower I have been to.

My parents decided they liked my middle name better 2 months after they got me home and just started calling me by that instead. They got my SS card under that name, but by “real” name is still my first name.
Lots of confusion w passports, licenses, etc etc. Not always fun.

Ehhhh - I think my playlist is a little different...

I live in RI, so I will keep an eye out for ya.

My guess would honestly be a small beach bar on Block Island.

Where is the “NOPE!” octopus when you need him? Because that is all I kept thinking as I read through the article.

As an early 40's female project manager in in utilities construction - oh god I hear this. Watching incompetent male co-workers fail upwards into better positions, and now sharing a job title with two guys under 30 who I suspect make more $$ and drive better/newer company trucks than I do.

Dudes with breeding fetishes are so so weird. It’s like a whole subcategory of cuckolding.

I hope you punched your “friend” in the boob after she said that.

Eh, according to the internet I’m a monster and I’m ok with that. Things I have done wrong:

This is a shitshow. Way to make yourselves not seem creepy or weird ladies.

So happy that I work in the unsexy side of entertainment. No one bothers the female IT Managers when we have a bad breakup.

I intensely hate this show and hope it ends. I don’t understand why it seemed to be on the air so much since I never met a single person who liked it.

Unfortunately, he works the same hours I do but with a longer commute and less flexibility with vacation, etc.

Baby-State starts daycare in July after being waitlisted for the past 6.5 months. (Thank god for Grandparents!) Once he is in, it will cost me $250 per week, or $13,000 per year. I have to provide all food, diapers and snacks.
The thing that is going to kill me is the fact I work 10 hours a day (mandatory) and commute…

Zilly passed away peacefully this morning with my husband and I - I kept repeating that I loved him and thanked him for being my best friend for so many years.
We are devastated, completely devastated, but looking at him afterwards there was nothing left on his tiny frame and I think that he probably hanging in there…

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support.
Zilly is sitting here with me now, trying to hunker down to cuddle but I think his body isn’t going to let him stay comfortable for too long.

Thank you.

Also - I forgot to say - I am so so sorry for your loss.

This made me ugly cry.

Tomorrow AM I am putting my 19 year old cat to sleep. He’s been sick for almost a year, and lately he has gotten so much worse. I’ve been looking for any excuse to not go though with it, but his pain is getting harder for him to hide and it’s time. I’ve had him all of my adult life and he has…

If this happens I will be the happiest woman on earth.

I work in a very male dominated industry, for a company of approx 4000 people. Nearly all the women that work for my company are in accounts payable, human resources, and various assistant gigs.
Out of the entire US, I am one of three women to hold my title and…
