That is the funniest thing I’ve read in weeks. Maybe months. Also, true. 

My husband and I said just yesterday that we are basically waiting for the boomers to start dying in large enough numbers that we can remake society...hopefully before global warming is irreversible and kills us all. 

Look, I don’t know what y’all are doing with your families, but that’s a pretty standard reunion with the Elliott clan. Except none of our females would take time off to raise babies. No, ma’am. Strap those budding gearheads/international agents into an Ergo and buckle the fuck up. 

Those are FABULOUS. 

I haven’t made the transition to full on caftans, but I discovered that the stretchy jersey dresses in a knee or maxi length feel like I’m wearing a nightgown all day. I’ve bought a bunch in solids because I’m boring, and one red/blue french stripe for when I don’t feel boring. I plan on wearing the shit out of these…

That was a mistake. 

Off to check on the Haiti fic right now. 

This. I didn’t watch but my husband did. I asked him what he thought about Cas not being in the last episode, and he said, “Why would he? It was about the brothers.”

Think about it. He’s gone from total freedom and a job where he’s licensed to do all kinds of things the rest of us can’t - speed, get physical with people, pull guns on them, etc, etc - to a life where he has no power, no authority, no human contact, and sits in a tiny cell 23 hours a day. That does not look like…

Maury Povich died? 

Trojanjustin is a troll. Don’t bother responding. He’s posted the same comment in multiple places on this thread. 

Absolutely. I don’t know if this is a symptom of the patriarchy or the male dominated attitude towards mental health, but asking someone who has been repeatedly traumatized for decades to not sound like they’ve been traumatized in order to stop being traumatized is some next level crazy.

None of her recs appealed to me, but I added God Spare the Girls to my library list. I hope the book sells well!! 

I applaud your ability to improve through revision. 

Are we sure they’re America’s worst couple? I wouldn’t want Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao to feel that their efforts haven’t been noticed. 

Second this. Get the dirty laundry to the therapist, ASAP. That’s what they’re there for, and they would far rather know the truth than get a spot-treated version. They care, and genuinely want to help, and they love you in all your brokenness and trauma.

Right. Because being smug about your saintliness is so endearing to others and motivates them to a) change their habits and b) love and worship you like a god. 

I’m with you. I normally run cold, but when summer in NE arrives, I actually have the AC set lower at night than during the day. Too warm = no sleep = grumpy and depressed Anne.

What glorious sunsets! So glad your new place is working out and providing a respite from work. Also glad your diagnosis was benign and will keep you in my thoughts.

On it!!!
