Honestly, that’s about how I handle it. I think you did okay. If you can steer the conversation towards a topic you like, do it! Otherwise, you smile and be polite and then go home and self-care it up.

I just got a matte nude palette from Lorac. It has no black!

I don’t know for sure, but CA at least has great access. I don’t know where you are now, though. Good luck my dear!

Jesus fucking christ. UGH.

I don’t even know how to begin, but I am married (to a man) and I would have said I was straight when I was younger... but I’m falling in love with a woman I work with at school. She’s really unhappy in her marriage and we are spending more time together. I can’t stop thinking about her and I dream about hooking up…

My therapist recommended (when you’re at home) to dunk your face in cold water or use ice packs while holding your breath- it activates the dive reflex which automatically reduces your heart rate. Medication helps, and CBT can help, too. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, anxiety is a beast.

I’m so happy for you!!! I can talk about paint colors for a lifetime, so keep us updated!

I have lots of those! I was a malnourished single mom on welfare crying myself to sleep every night after I put my daughter to bed because I didn’t know how I would pay the rent. Met and married my customer at work, he got an insane job offer, and I live in my dream city and a solid personal bank account. That turned…

All the internet love I can send! I hope things get better soon.

I’m going to miss you, but I understand. All the best.

Same. :( I took a few days off to go to Sacramento and came home to this. I thought nothing could be worse than 100 degree heat, but here we are.

Uh, I DO talk to my husband about periods in depth and he’s glad to know how it all goes down. We also have two kids (a girl and a boy) and both of them know how periods work. I see no reason why explaining a period to your hypothetical daughter should be solidly wife territory. You should be able to talk openly and…

Check in front of mental health buildings. I live in Norcal and I quit smoking 6 years ago, but without fail when I have a manic episode I buy a pack. It’s actually the first symptom my husband catches. Also like every AA/ NA meeting ever. And food service jobs. I thin that’s all of us.

I thought it was the dirty, sinful vagina that caused it? And also those sinful, sexy abdomens.

Oh, but they have been for a few thousand years. They can deal with other people being free not to live by their rules. They can still make those choices for themselves, and THAT is religious freedom. Everyone else has the right to be free from their religion and live by their own moral code. Being required to sign a…

I’m not interested in tap dancing around religious nutbags. The fact that we have to tell people that their personal religious beliefs don’t extend to other people and they can’t force other people to live based on the beliefs of their employer is fucking crazy.

They could just not offer any insurance at all and the employees could get it on the exchange, if they think they should be able to pick and choose which medical services their employees should be able to access through an insurance policy they also pay into. If they want to provide insurance it has to be complete…

YAAAASSSS, I will bring the snacks.

I hope when you do you post it all for us who can’t translate it.

I’m picturing singing Let It Go to a nun’s vagina. Thank you.
