“I don’t want to be in something where women are tearing down other women”

welp, I finally finished. I’ve read all the stories, I even reloaded the page and sorted by newest up top. I guess I’ll have to wait for the winner post and then I can read all those comments! Yay, can’t wait!

I’m grossed out by imagining the hot and humid environment you’re describing in even a non-pandemic time.

This is what worries me about ever making it out of this pandemic. The gym was following the health guide lines, in Canada, but they still had a super spreader event.

Hi friends. In years past, I have always submitted (late, sorry!) my story about getting lost in middle school, getting lost in the woods and accidentally finding myself in a Haunt, where Jason leaned, smoking, against a tree and helped my poor, young teacher find her way out of the (fake) haunt and back to our camp.

One of the most awesome things about this whole lockdown mess is that my MIL hasn’t been able to visit. It’s been heavenly. She usually drives the 6 hours and barges her ass up in here like clockwork every 6 weeks and does nothing but create chaos and stress. 

I saw a tweet a few days ago of the timeline of cain’s illness. He was bad, then felt better, then felt even better still and then died. I’m not saying I hope that happens to trump but I’m not saying I’m not hoping for that.

It’s stupid and I hate it.

When I came home for the summer after my freshman year of college, I got a summer job organizing the new home of an elderly woman who was a friend of the family. She was very wealthy, and had downsized from a large house to an...honestly still pretty big house, but there was an enormous basement full of old gowns,…

Thank you for explaining this!  

That video gave me the chills! I’m glad whatever did that doesn’t feel threatening but ahhhhhhh!

For people who are always screaming “get government off my back!”, they sure do want a government that is overly involved in people’s personal life and health decisions. 

Yup. This is the lead article on People.com

backstory: the school I work at in Vancouver, BC is being seismically upgraded, as are many because many of the schools built in VSB are gaining on 100 years old. In March (2020), before spring break, we all tirelessly packed up our entire classrooms in boxes to be moved over Spring Break to our ‘new school’ for the…

IT WAS NOT YOU.

Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful response. You articulated what I could never put into words. I have always felt that my bringing it up and wanting to talk about it and his obdurate refusal to do so was just me being troublesome, in fact he’s told me so. He tells me that I’m starting trouble and that…

This is heartbreakingly familiar and scarier than any haunted house or restless spirit.  I’m a trauma psychologist who works with abused women (and occasionally men). I also grew up witnessing my father’s abuse toward my mother, sometimes explicit and evil, some times deeply insidious and gaslit. When the ones we…

I’m a mother in my early 30's & I have a best friend who I’ve been close with since high school. About a year ago we had a rare chance to spend some time alone together in NY (where I currently live). We are both ridiculous people (functional) but ridiculous. So we spent the weekend overly indulging in everything from…
