Quite often I feel very ambivalent toward SATC since it was/is/seems worlds away from life here on the Middle Coast. (Yes - I do know that it is idealized/fantasized/fetishized/romanticized/imaginary, and not many people anywhere would have a life experience that even remotely resembled SATC.) I enjoyed watching it as…

"my bad" could die a hundred million flaming deaths and I would be so happy.

I went through this same thing just a month ago and understand what you mean. I keep expecting to see my baby in all his usual places even though I know he won't be. I can say this - as time passes it will be less painful. If you have other cats comfort them. Enjoy your memories and cry if you feel like it. He was…

I do the color-sorted clothes too so you're not that strange.

I understand your ambivalence concerning our yogurt overlords. I have eaten it all my life but I'm still not sure if I truly like it. I can go weeks/months without eating any (even though there is always some in the fridge) then I'll eat it everyday for weeks. It's like I'm compelled to eat it but it doesn't…

Dune series by Frank Hebert - if you watched the movie in the 80's and were not impressed - don't worry. There is so much more to the books that that.

Thank you for the Yoda!

As a fellow grey I feel your pain. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE your gif. :)

Your six cats and my six cats must be doppelgangers for I have a high finance retiree also.

What about Monet posters or a pair of vintage botanical prints of camellias? My kitchen had numerous vintage food labels and plates. I guess old before my time.

I didn't have Starry Night but another Van Gogh from the same time frame and a Monet so I'm with you.

I've been rocking the pigtails too so you're not alone in your hair do choices.

Now y'all have me wanting a crunchy almond butter and spicy bread and butter pickle sandwich right now. Hell, I'd even eat a creamy JIF and hamburger dill slice sandwich.

Hubigs ROCK! I'm anxiously awaiting the return of the Hubigs pie.

I didn't get grief about the college thing (at least from my mom's family) - it was expected that I'd go to college and finish. My dad's family not so much. It wasn't ever open ridicule, but just an ever widening gulf between me and my cousins since at the time none of them (and there's a bunch) attended much less…

I hate to admit it but I'm somewhat of an education snob. I hate not knowing things, and I don't get it when people willingly let themselves become more and more ignorant, and seem proud of it. Please have some idea of what is happening around us, and not just politics. Ans please people - READ!!!!!

Also - don't let the life milestones thing get you down - I'm right there with you sister. (As I sit in my parents' living room typing this) :) As people say it will happen when it's meant to happen.

Have you spent much time with any kids to see how you feel then? That might help sway you one way or the other. But don't worry about making any decisions about childbearing unless you have that feeling that you will die or be completely miserably unfulfilled if you don't have any kids.

I totally get what you're saying, especially about the perception of her age. I'm at a weird crossroads when it comes to age. I have a hugely difficult time wrapping my brain around the fact that I am 42, soon to be 43, especially since most of the time I don't feel any different than I did at say, 25. So there are…

I appreciate hearing that she got married at 52. It gives me hope as I am 42 and as yet unmarried - maybe I'll still get married because there's a chance.
