Haha! Agreed. That just struck me as such a weird/not helpful example.

Bernstein offers example after example of how others have pulled it together in spite of terrible circumstances. A divorcing single mom lit a fire at Christmas time and has decided to get more into the season; a single woman sleeps late on Christmas morning and buys herself a lot of stuff.

Makes sense for sure. Good luck!

Ugh re hair loss! I hope it helps with that at least.

I do like it a lot, but I got on it specifically because it was the lowest dose available that my doctor knew of and I was getting worried about side effects. At the time I started it, I was traveling for work constantly, with really long cross country and international flights. And I was under a ton of stress, not…

I am on Lo Loestrin too! Mine is $45. UGH.

Yes!! I'm so glad you updated. I was wondering how it went.

You say you're feeling guilty - but it's not clear that you should. You're not in an official romantic relationship with the first woman (right?). It sounds like you are friends and she did trust you, but hasn't approached you romantically or indicated that she necessarily sees you in a romantic way as opposed to a…

My bf had success with e-cigs and he'd never had substantial success before. I think once he quit for a week or something without e-cigs (and attempted many, many times), and with e-cigs he has been over three months.

Of course, Pattinson has since been accused of anti-Semitism and cited as a jump-off point for anti-Semitic rants.

I second, third, fourth (whatever number we're on) the comments about this just possibly being a topic that is helping him cope with uncertainty. I definitely have done such things myself all the while hoping against hope that a relationship was NOT about to end. I think for some more planning/control-ly personality…

TOTALLY RUDE. Gross. To me it's only a few steps better than looking at browser history. And I totally agree on the Netflix thing.

Thank you so much! Sorry to hit you up for random allergy advice.

I don't know the book, but (as the daughter of a former librarian) I recommend asking a librarian if you can find one. Maybe a public library near you, especially one with a separate children's librarian? Librarians have helped me on many a wild goose chase.

How did you learn you were allergic? I am having a total itchfest with the skin on my neck and chest and my ass, of all the weird selections of spots. I tend to get itchy hives when I'm super stressed and exhausted, but I'm not really either of those things right now. I'm worried I've developed a new allergy to…

I'm so sorry. For what it's worth you are a wonderful dog owner. As far as advice, it's really a tough situation and I don't think either choice (or a hybrid choice) is the wrong one. If it was me, I would probably wait until he isn't enjoying the quality of life he has now, but that doesn't mean that's the "right"…

THANK YOU. I haven't been on GR in forever and saw today that it's their last day and didn't have the first clue of how I would switch to something else so that I can try to get my feeds organized/updated and actually use a reader again. Your link rocks with the one-click import thing!

Right?? Why is the Denver picture there???? I clicked just to make sure nothing bad happened in Colorado! So annoying.

What's wrong with granite counters? Anyone?

I totally agree with this. Try thinking about it this way: it seems like during the entire interaction, you were focusing on seeing this man as a person and not as a characteristic (his race, his job) but now you're considering going out with him for one of those reasons. To do so (i.e., to go out with him because…
