She’s GORGEOUS! AHHHHH! I have total baby fever right now because husband and I are planning around my graduate school plans to start our family. She is precious. And all will be fine. I love her wittle chubby cheeks <3

She could try to sell that as a feature. The towel charm functions as a branding iron which, on the day some skank tries to make off with your towel, you can display with a flourish to the crowds that gather to watch your ensuing confrontation and PROVE that you belong with that towel. They’ll all nod and and mutter…

Why would you purposely puncture a towel to put a metal charm on it? It just seems like it would cause a hole and ruin the towel really quickly, plus any time the towel is outside that little piece of metal is going to get really hot really quickly. I do not fancy a minuscule baseball glove being seared into my skin…

Lord, this is some nouveau riche bullshit. Regular people don’t need this and won’t buy something that’s just going to jam up the washing machine when you forget it’s on the towel.

Dry yourself off, draw blood.

He’s acting like there’s no process that got the resumes in front of him to begin with. Like, do white men just have winged fairies attached to their resumes and woopsie they just landed on your desk?

But I think it might be insulting to the person submitting to me if I hired them for that reason.

Awwww so cute! We actually are crazy enough to have two :) I love Goldens - my husband had a couple growing up and my first dog was a Chocolate Lab. One of these days I will be sure to get another Lab too.

Migraines are the absolute worst. I hope you’re feeling better!

People who use them report that the thundershirts help a LOT. Like, if your pet normally pants and gets all panicky, they’re probably still going to hide in a corner or come to you for comfort, but they’ll do it minus the panting, shaking, and wild-eyed look. More like in the realm of nervous rather than petrified.

Haven’t tried thundershirts - our older mini Aussie (mini American) has panic attacks when he’s confined, so I doubt it would work for him. Seriously, we tried a seatbelt and he FLIPPED OUT so much we had to immediately return it. We mostly try to keep them company, and keep them quiet - so far, the best option seems…

I hate to be a massive downer but I need some good thoughts in large quantities. My cousin’s boyfriend died in a dirt bike accident today, he hit a tree and was killed instantly. They just bought a house together, they were going to get married in the next few years, he was only 24. I’m so scared and sad for her, I…

I hate this holiday. It is loud and scary for some of us.

This holiday weekend sucked, and I was really looking forward to 4 days off. After a super-stressful week at work, my body immediately turned against me the moment I got home. A giant cold sore appeared; it’s so big I thought it was shingles or something, so I went to the closest doctor, who proceeded to roll her eyes…

Last year on 7/4, my ex cheated on me and set July into a tailspin. The girl he cheated on me with is moving in to his place this weekend.

THANK YOU for this! You are wonderful and you sound like an amazing mom who is working so hard to give her kid AND herself the best. Thanks for this.

And I hope your thyroid gets better. My mom had raging PPD after my sister’s birth and it wasn’t until the finally LISTENED and checked her thyroid that it all slowed…

Thanks!

I went to a child therapist for a bit last year after he left to get advice on what to do for her, and will go back if her behavior tanks again (she had a couple of visits with him and would be depressed afterwards for weeks). He was great and encouraged me to let my girl feel her feelings and never tell her she…

I’m only mildly ashamed to admit that I’ve spent the whole day finishing my rewatch of the entirety of GoT. Sometimes you just need to escape to a fantasy world for a day. Responsibilities and real life can wait until tomorrow.

I’m going to Edinburgh, Scotland next week for a conference, but I’m spending an extra day. Any suggestions on what I should do while I’m there?
