Yeah...in my family being called a “liberal” is a really dirty word even though they lean left sometimes. Hey, maybe you’ll rub off on him, haha.

Yeah - I mean, not like the Republicans are at all fiscally conservative anyway, so that would be a stupid vote, but my bodily autonomy should NOT be worth any amount in saved tax dollars, if you’re my significant other.

My ex was conservative. It’s not exactly why we split (he was feminist), but it’s awfully hard to be with a climate change-denier.

Oh I had the SAME problem when I first got contacts ! Seriously sometimes it would take like an hour to put them in when I first got them. But now it takes like two seconds - like I can put them in without even looking in a mirror now - BUT I’ve been wearing them for like 11 years now SO I’ve had some practice and…

Aww thank you! These are my fav pair of glasses I’ve ever gotten and the first pair I’ve gotten in like 5 years so it was def time for a style AND prescription update. I’ve always hated wearing glasses and I think that might be why my vision is like it is now hahaha I refused to wear the glasses I was supposed to wear…

AND here are my new glasses!

I can’t stand the idea of a doctor I’ve never met with his (HIS) hands anywhere near me when I’m naked and lying down. After a certain amount of sexual abuse/assault (that is, any at all), I think I’m allowed to say I’m not leaving access to my genitals up to chance or strangers. Like, I could see natural birth…

With my mom and half sister both having emergency c sections for their first births, I figure the odds are strong enough that I’d have one that I’d rather go through major abdominal surgery after a good night’s sleep, not after multiple days of active labor. Somehow, it strikes me as not shocking at all that there are…

Stay on schedule with your pain meds! Don’t waste your money on those scar strips. Stay on schedule with your pain meds! Don’t wear underwear with seams up the middle. I have a large collection of boy short-style drawers and I think the seams resting over the scar caused it to heal weird (though the whole thing is a…

I married one! Good lookin outside, nerd inside. Working the bar at a hot dance club. But he was also in college preparing for a long-term career in engineering. I say, if you’re interested get to know him! Very few bartenders see bartending as permanent career. (My daughter is also currently bartending and working on…

As someone who decided at an early age that a c-section was for me, I’ve been grilling my RN-mom and two time CS haver and this is what she’s said:

Do you ever get so sad that you feel like you can’t breathe? I have that right now. My sister won’t talk to me. We used to have a great relationship and she got me through some really challenging times when I was young. We got into an argument earlier this summer over something so stupid I am embarrassed to talk about…

Has anyone ever been so daring as to try to date a bartender? I met this one the other night who is just so cool and I gotta go see him again. It’s so their job to flirt but this dude didn’t make me buy a single drink (I tipped him a lot obviously at the end because I was really confused that he was not taking my…

Luckily, the kids and I had dinner with the MIL, who is a Jewish Bernie Sanders. It was great to not have to worry about what I said.

Well I didn’t go see family so I had what was, for a couple days, a delightful lazy-fest of just eating whatever and watching movies and doing some occasional organizational and cleaning stuff. None of my friends stayed in DC so I’eve just been chilling, and today I had no idea what to do with myself so I went for a…

Hey Jezzies, whatcha drinking? I’m pacing myself tonight, and drinking a Lil Sumpin Sumpin. It’s alright. I was really sick this morning and I think I threw up everything I didn’t throw up over the past three days. Not cool, guys! I’m feeling better, but I’m not eating anything other than crackers and beer. Yeah,…

Excellent. Yep, she works in the ER. She’s going to be a CRNA, and the program she’s going into accepts either ER or ICU experience. CRNAs make bookoo bucks, and they get to watch all of the cool surgeries, so she’s really excited about that. Nurse practitioners make good money too, but a lot of states are making them…

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday from Izzy and her new sweater! She is OBSESSED with it!

This sounds a lot like my dad. And I live with him, so I get to hear about his insane conservative conspiracy theories all the time. All liberals are evil (except that the medicaid expansion pushed by liberals and decried by his folks LITERALLY saved my life, thanks Obama!), everyone “good” should have a concealed…

Anyone have any good advice about helping spouses cope with the idea of post partum depression? I’ve never had kids, but my best in and her baby spent last night with me because her counselor doesn’t want her alone. Her fiance (who was away working ) has flipped his shit and refuses to speak to her because he sees her…
