I'm far more offended by destination bachelor/bachelorettes than travelling a bit for the wedding itself. I'll drive a bit for a wedding, I love hotels and get a Fed discount so while it's still pricey, it's usually one night, maybe 2.

I'm not at that job anymore, luckily. It was also a woman who did it! I actually did try and file a discrimination complaint against a boss there. He made comments to me about other girls working there (their bodies) and always told me I needed to print things for him and take notes for him (I was not a secretary) and…

Only a little! My fave is that the female is actually the one that's my friend...but far more likely the dudes are the ones with the true story.

You asked:

I was pulled aside at work one time and told I needed to "be careful" because it made the older men "uncomfortable." I said that I do my best and I did adjust my shirts everytime I was in the restroom to try and NOT be inappropriate. But boobs are boobs. Big boobs cannot be hidden so easily. A shirt that covers…

I believe men are more likely to use more violent/lethal methods (guns, trains, etc) than women (pills, cutting wrists) so women survive attempts more often.

Me too (15 year ago) and it was a pretty common occurence among the girls, at least, to "attempt suicide." This usually was a scratch on their wrist or taking 5 Tylenol...etc. For them it was often a half-hearted cry for help. I only remember 1 student killing himself while I was in high school, but I was subbing back…

I can! I just feel like she won't really take me too seriously unless I've been trying for a more realistic period of time, as my only symptom is really the weight gain /inability to lose, I think. My understanding is there isn't a good way to diagnose it, it's more by elimination - like she can't just run bloodwork…

I think Raleigh or Charlotte are where I'd aim for! I have a couple things I want to get in place before I seriously look but I daydream about it on the train all the time!

Ha! I have friends in Boulder. I feel like I'd have to learn to ride a bike though, and I have to draw the line somewhere! I really love North Carolina. That's where I'd want to go. Hate the politics, love it otherwise. Plus still close-ish to our familes!

We are TTC. I have been off BC since late January. No luck yet. I feel broken, which I KNOW is irrational. I am taking ovulation tests and they're always negative. I mentioned a few weeks ago I suspect I may have undiagnosed PCOS as I have some symptoms, mostly uncontrollable weight gain. I'm terrified this is never…

Just out of curiosity, I have a few friends that want to drink less/not drink. I never know if I should invite them if we go out for drinks. Am I making it harder for them? I feel like a jerk if I don't include them, though I don't care if they do or don't drink, but I feel like maybe it is insensitive TO invite them.…

Very true! But it's still a hard thing to think about - just cognitively, LESS MONEY? Seems crazy.

Ha! No, I left Fredericksburg to move up here. I'm in Fairfax County now (which I love!) but commute to DC. It's easy enough - drive to train station, sit on train, metro to office - but it is exhausting and takes forever.

I really want to quit my life. Not in a suicidal way, I'm just exhausted. I'm in the DC area and I somehow ended up in this high paying govt job. I certainly earned the position I am in, but I am not ambitious. I would be perfectly happy with continuing paychecks and very little responsibility. I commute 90 minutes…

Damnit I always forget that it's Kristina that isn't a Braverman, not Joel. And we know how good Sally Field is at playing a selfish crazy bitch from ER. I should start one of those White House petitions.

YOU ARE GODDAMN RIGHT I AM.

I want to have a slumber party with everyone in this thread and marathon watch this show, drink wine, and DISCUSS.

When I was in HS, the local mall instituted a "group" rule. You could not be in a group larger than 3 without a parent. So we'd go in groups of 8 and walk in groups of 2 in lines, switching "buddies" depending on who wanted to talk to who.

There are no opposite sides, it's just PARENTHOOD. I never want this show to end, much like how I felt about Brothers & Sisters. Can Sally Field join the cast as, like, Joel's mother or something?
