We go grey haired early in my family. I had found a grey hair “down there,” just one, when I was in my late 20’s. I asked my mom if she had grey hair “down there,” expecting a fairly benign answer. Instead she said, “No! I’ve gone completely bald!!” Classic.

I went to foreign countries, checking beforehand that there was no Mother’s Day there (in May at least) for the first 3 years that I was gone because I just couldn’t take it.

I’m with you!

I watched it last night. And yes, some parts may be a little “R” rated for a 13 year old, but I think that (to use a phrase I HATE) the “teachable moments” outweigh all of the language/drugs etc. It’s a cautionary tale, but also nails the hopelessness so many teens feel. He was literally just so SAD. I’m sure there is…

Why? Alice sounds like a waitress on TV. I never understood the Alice thing....

But will she be able to bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never let you forget you’re a man?

One of my best friends in high school was named Charlotte. She was the only Charlotte I had ever met (1987.) Charlotte was my “girl name” but alas I waited too long and now my little girls name is Doodie the Tookster from Tookmanistan and she barks.

I love love love love this name. I was so worried they were going to name her Alice (the odds on favorite) and was going to seriously bum out if they didn’t include Diana in her name. I have been fighting with Time Warner Customer Torture on the phone all morning, and this calmed me down. It’s the little things.....

I am as well! Congrats! Wellbutrin makes me a nervous wreck. Neurontin just stops the continual thought loop in my head of those “scenes” that were traumatic, pissed me off, or where I coulda, shoulda, woulda....Glad you’ve found a good med.

Ask your Dr. about Neurontin, it’s non-narcotic, for nerve pain, and helped me with the loop.

Went to a prepaid destination wedding that we were to go on together anyway. He decided to go too. This formerly abusive, condescending egomaniac cried like a bitch the whole trip and I ratted him out on all of his friends. “Kenny can’t go to dinner because he’s crying in the bathroom.” I also slept with one of his…

You lucky duck. I’m an emotional eater. The only time I lost my appetite was when my mom was sick. Otherwise, you can literally look through photos and tell how happy I was by how thin/heavy I am. I’d change places in an instant! (Not the misery, just the appetite.) Hope you’re better.

Yes, love. Better living through pharmaceuticals. I imagine you’ve got him/the relationship on a loop in your brain and although not the same, I got some good meds and miraculously was able to stop the loop and actually heal.

True, unless they are blended in a DQ blizzard.

My elementary school janitor would surely be labeled a child molester these days. Mr. Newlin. He was not. He was a hugger, knew all our names, knew who needed loving attention, and who needed a good talking to. He was an honorable man. He was also able to own a small home, raise two children with a wife who also…

I grew up in the 70’s and I would say 99% of us who were “packers” as opposed to buying lunch ate PBJ’s, a piece of fruit and some sort of dorito or hoho. Not to say that it was healthy - but no one started getting fat until we hit Jr. High and High School where it was basically an all you can eat tater tot, pizza…

Politely disagree. Tacky tacky tacky to specifically ask for $. Many people will opt to do so, so yay! Just because you’ve already been living together forever and don’t want china, or towels or whatever, doesn’t give you the right to expect your guests to underwrite your wedding. Or honeymoon. I’m rarely…

I can’t believe they didn’t tell you to wear more modest clothing. Or file numerous restraining orders, which to an abuser are like a red cape to a bull. I hope you finally got away.

Sorry to have replied this same thing upthread, but I do love celebrities that marry non-celebrities. Jon Oliver’s wife is in the military, has (and is going?) been to Afghanistan many times. Men of conscience! Donald Trump? 1.Smart Model,2. Homewrecker Catalogue Model, 3. Brainless Model.

Wasn’t she a vet tech when he married her? Again, showing that he is Super Mensch of the World!
