Aw, it’s nice your mom thought that. I would think he’s a murderer coming to kill my whole family in our sleep, but that’s the pessimist in me.

This brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful moment to share together.

I finally found this thread early early enough to *maybe* not be totally buried! The most intensely creepy thing that’s ever happened to me is also the most oddly beautiful.

Your time will come, don't worry, you're not too far behind us

That’s gotta be in the top! I have a friend who had a first date turn up to pick  her up for their date with a twelve pack in one hand and a car seat with a 6 week old infant in it in the other. Last minute he had to take custody of his 6 week old for the night, but he thought they could just netflix and chill instead…

I had just broken up with my bf who my friends couldn’t stand. They browbeat me into going on a double date with friend, her bf and his newish roommate so that I wouldn’t be tempted to get back together with bf. 

I probably won’t get out of the greys but here’s one where I’m the horror. I was recovering from MRSA and on sedatives because I was allergic to the antibiotics. I didn’t realize you can’t mix sedatives and alcohol, so when I met my date at a brewery for a Match.com date, I blacked out. Apparently I greeted him with…

I was an adult woman and an adult man took me to a Buffalo Wild Wings located inside a movie theater on our first date, but we weren’t going to a movie. This was 2008-ish, so early enough that most people did not have smart phones and therefore didn’t necessarily have a camera in their pocket. After the server takes…

2. The idea that porn is the cause of sexual abuse in church is both laughable and tragic. Just let your pastors, preachers, etc. be sexual. But like, consensually.... with adults.

This. If there’s one thing Republicans do right, it’s understanding the importance of the Supreme Court, and appointing judges in general. They’re damn near obsessed, and for good reason. The Democrats are only now starting to catch on but progressives don’t seem to get that at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if…

I have a question for all the Senators: Would you be comfortable knowing that your 15-year-old sister or daughter attended a party with Brett Kavanaugh in 1982?

He will get special treatment. There's no two ways about it.

Diets don’t work because people don’t adhere to them, simple as that.

I’m sorry you have BPD. It’s an extremely hard lot in life. And I do empathize, as I found myself exhibiting some traits after the relationship. It took some time to shake that.

Mean? You haven’t seen mean until you’ve been in a relationship with a borderline. Sorry. The *world* is cold and mean. I desperately wanted this not to be the hard truth, but it is. If you read the boards, every story is damn near identical. Partners try to be supportive, and sacrifice every piece of themselves, only…

Yeah, I don’t doubt his ability to be happy in a relationship. It’s his significant other who is likely to bear the brunt of his illness. My mom would say she is happy in all of her relationships but she is manipulative, cruel, unstable, and emotionally abusive and also steadfast in her conviction that everyone else…

There is also a danger inherent in normalizing it. It encourages people to stay in abusive relationships with false hopes of recovery. BPD is not your average mental illness. Borderlines, by and large, resist treatment except for when it serves their purpose, and then immediately stop once it is no longer of use. I…

My friend’s mom is Swedish. We asked why she doesn’t make Swedish meatballs. She said “Every meatball I make is a Swedish meatball.” It took me a year to get the joke and I was in a meeting when I got it and brayed like a donkey.

1) this is the most thorough, competent conspiracy ever constructed to take down an otherwise affable black man who has done nothing wrong

“I used to support it but its taking down successful black men and I’m not with it.
