Which is why I see a Certified Nurse Midwife, who is different from whatever that woman thought she was.

So after really despising the way OB/GYNs treated me for years, I tried going to a certified nurse midwife. And I will only go to CNMs from now on- mine is absolutely fantastic, is very real about health issues with me, and really listens to me. When I had a pretty sudden onset of endometriosis symptoms last year and…

I feel sorry for your goddaughter, it must suck to be stuck with an asshole telling you their opinion is fact.

Shit’s mind-numbingly slow, and being in the ICU is making me a little crazy.

Thanks.

I’m sitting in the ICU with my mom who had severe internal bleeding and liver failure as a result of longterm alcohol use, which was a result of illness and a hard life, and the judgemental tone some people have makes me feel terrible and furious.

I’m sitting in the ICU with my mom hooked up to a bunch of machines and I have to say, this was a much-needed chuckle. Thank you.

I really appreciate your thoughts. I’m stuck here alone because my sister just started a new job and has no PTO. It’s honestly really boring and I feel useless, because all I can do is hang out in her room and pat her hand if she wakes up.

Thank you. I’m so devastated and I feel like my head is going to burst.

I had to make an emergency trip to my hometown because my mother is in the hospital with severe internal bleeding, and I really don’t know how to cope with this. I’m furious at her, mad at myself for being mad at her, and scared shitless.

That poor reporting crew.

I gave my guy friends boners by shouting and being authoritative, which had nothing to do with my clothes. So we should probably scrap teaching leadership skills to girls, too?

Salt Lake City has a surprising number of resident peafowl, and they are dumb and mean.

As in “once upon a time.” It was for about a month. And what part says I’m grudging?

My chef father smokes a lot of pot and let me and my sister survive off of Kraft Mac and Cheese and Diet Coke while my mom was out of town once, so...

Considering the written test is open-book and you can take it multiple times in one day, I am never ever surprised by the crap I see on my way home.

I would give up driving in a heartbeat. And I’ll do anything to take control away from the people the State of Utah has seen fit to “license.”

I leave the room if he ever comes on-screen. His voice curdles my brain and I can instantly feel neurons dying.

I think it’s also about an evolving understanding of what a “marriage” is. My parents were successfully married for 35 years, raised two kids to adulthood, and when things went downhill and they were deeply unhappy with one another, they got divorced. I wouldn’t consider that a failure at all. The outdated idea to me…
