Oh, God. I was blessedly too old for that, but my brother dragged us all to his because it was SO IMPORTANT, MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION the year before. I pointed out that he was too much of a dork to do drugs anyway, he had a meltdown, family drama ensued, etc. etc.

That was still on track, depending. My mom really hit menopause around 55, though she had a few symptoms prior that tipped her off to it being on it’s way. It’s different for different women.

Thank you, Basileus. I apologise for the curtness of my own response, and appreciate your kind clarification. And agree that there are people who will take advantage of chaos/confusion: my hope is that they are few and far-between. I appreciate your response and wish you a beautiful weekend.

Wow that is seriously idiotic. You’re in an enclosed aluminum can in the sky, the list of suspects is pretty limited... hope the person winds up on one of those “world’s dumbest criminals” lists.

I used to go to the library with my dad every Sunday as a kid and check out ... pretty much as many books as they’d let me. The librarian would say “you know these all have to be back in two weeks, right sweetie?” And my dad would laugh and tell her I’d have read 3 of them by bedtime.

I just did that last week with The Killers of Flower Moon. I returned it almost immediately though because there is a really long waiting list at my library and seeing it on my desk for the 2 extra weeks would’ve made me feel guilty (these are the kinds of emotions I now feel that one of my best friends has become a…

People love these shows either as voyeurs for their own fantasies or voyeurs to be judgemental or voyeurs just to have something “unscripted” and “real” to watch.

I’ve been saying Kamala Harris 2020 since before the 2016 election was even over. She’s awesome. I hope she’s president someday.

And possibly a lesbian?

Put him on Celebrity Big Brother

So a lot of you guys will know the issues i’ve had with certain behaviors my daughter does mostly involving nudity, and I have finally found out why. She has an Oedipus complex(is it called something else when it’s a daughter instead of a son?) and now I just want to die because clearly I have failed her as a parent. 

Leann is a creeper for real, Brandi has screenshots of all the times Leanne and her assistant are stalking brandis and her new bfs social media. It’s an unfortunate situation for all parties involved, but maybe don’t post every restaurant you will be dining at, or post after you leave the venue. You can’t change crazy.

I feel for all the other actors in the show who won’t be getting those residual checks any more.

I bet if Cosby was 1. convicted 2. actually somehow was going to be put in prison for it he’d kill himself.

Just seems like that kind of guy.

I took in a friend’s cat to “foster” it until she got back on her feet. That was December. She stopped talking to me a couple of months ago and I assume it’s bc she thinks I’m gonna shove her cat back in her face and run. I changed the cat’s name, I learned there’s no such thing as “fostering for a friend.” I’m…

Apparently it is very dry meat.

Your courage and compassion in sharing your own experience can only help your niece feel supported and unconditionally loved. You don’t have to necessarily wait for the right time—you can reach out via email or regular mail and let her know that, although you don’t know the details, you suspect she’s hurting and that…

And, Jesus, her father’s knowledge that, even with his connections in the police, he couldn’t guarantee or trust that she would be treated with respect. If he didn’t trust the system (and his own colleagues) what hope does any rape survivor have?

Sadly she died yesterday about an hour before the vet came. I’ve been bingeing sit coms all day to keep my mind off how lonely and sad I am. I really appreciate you asking.

This is always one of my favorite lessons to teach in public high school and private adult Civics classes. Most people can’t pass. Can you?
