Correct. She was elected in 2018. 

Same! I just startle easily and my husband’s response is always, “hi, I live here too.” 

This! Took a therapist asking the simple question, “Why not just say no?” for me to even realize that was an option. Growing up, it never felt that way. But I did start saying no to things and no one died. Sure my mom still tries to fight about Thanksgiving (I have not attended for 12+ years because it is a food-based…

My mom is, or at least was, incredibly disappointed by a few decisions I’ve made in my life. One is that I’m currently saving up and working toward quitting my high-paying (extremely high stress-inducing) fancy corporate job to live on a small island running my own small business. Another is that I’m not going to have…

Whoa, that seems like an unnecessarily harsh comment considering the original question. Maybe an IUD isn’t the right choice for you, but they aren’t torture devices. Other than some discomfort around the actual insertion, most women have no issues with their IUDs and I speak from both personal experience and a…

SAME.

I’ve been wearing the shirts and pants for a few years after a particularly gnarly burn on my back and butt because I was snorkeling and not paying attention to how long I had been in the sun. I gotta say, I’m not sad about it. I find them very comfortable and I never have to worry about my rolls showing if I sit up…

Very first thought I had. I wear a sunshirt and sunpants (yes that’s a thing) if I’m going to be outside for any extended period of time and DEFINITELY on a tropical vacation and I’m “way” “darker” than he is. MY DUDE, COVER UP.

Came here to say it’s my mother-in-law (who fits your description, except she wasn’t a teacher). She’s purchased every single one of them and read them all. She would tell you that she likes to read and stay current. I would say a lot of different things, but not in writing. 

When I was about her age, I dated a guy 13 years my senior and there were plenty of times when it was weird, or at the very least extremely obvious that we had an age gap. At the time, I was really just starting my career and so I was always working late (he was a manager so he could pretty much always leave on time).…

This isn’t really THAT ludicrous, but it’s fun to remember so here goes. A decade ago, when BabyGirlsDad and I were just dating, he asked me to help his brother and sister-in-law drive his dad’s car down to FL (and then fly home). At the time I was living in CT so this was going to be a two day drive. It was sort of a…

My in-laws were told they couldn’t have kids, so they adopted and found out they were pregnant less than a year later. Then had another. Then 7 years later, when my mother-in-law was 40, she got pregnant (SURPRISE!) with her last (who I ended up marrying).

OH NO! Sorry you had that experience. I can’t imagine. 

Yeah, that was confusing, clickbait bullshit. The place we stayed at was the nicest resort I’ve ever been to and I’m sure where they stayed was even fancier.

As someone who stayed in one of those $1000 a night tents on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, they are definitely more like houses than tents and they do come with bathrooms, but the point of being out there is the game drives which last for hours and there’s definitely no bathroom in the bush. I was very concerned about…

I am surprising myself by saying I think I might actually love it?

Actually, it’s Rhode Island: 3 inches bigger at low tide

So the bottom of New Hampshire?

Who, presumably, they KNEW didn’t have a weapon because they patted him down before they put him in the squad car.  

Matthew didn’t work for me because I kept thinking Alright, alright, alright...
