I’ve never understood people who want their elected leaders to be as dumb as they are.

I've done soup it's several years and they're a hit.

Hollowed out. Filled with candy. 3 swings each.

You’re trying and that is important. Hell, even if you don’t finish it this month, you can always finish writing it next month or however long you need.

Excellent point. Thanks for bringing it up.

I swear to god, when my life is shit, my silver lining is always “At least I’m not pregnant!”, because that’s literally the worst thing that can happen.

Far from the only one! I have an IUD and I still insist on condoms. Pregnancy is my worst nightmare.

Ha, aw, thanks! We're definitely grateful and know just how lucky we are. In this day and age being super careful is pretty easy anyway. :)

My eldest sister was a condom baby and the middle one and me were IUD babies so I am way too scared to have sex without two forms of control.

My husband and I have always been ridiculously careful about doubling up protection.

Ever feel like you want to get sterilized just in case the SHTF? I certainly do.

I’m convinced that this is why some parents are so rabid about hounding child-free folks to reproduce. It honestly never occurred to them that not having kids was an option, and they don’t want someone else to “get away with it”.

What an excellent quote! This applies well to my life lately as well.

I have done it every year since 2004 and only won once. I suck. Good luck to you! Life always seems to get in the way.

Every year for like the past five years I have said I will do NaNoWriMo and every year something happens to stop me from giving it my attention (first uni, then work). I’m desperate to get back into creative writing but I’ve been out of it so long that I’m super rusty and nervous. I wish you the very best with your…

Hey Jezzies! Is anybody else trying to do NaNoWriMo? I need Jezzie like encouragement and maybe an overcoming adversity story or two? The blank page is terrifying.

I’m doing nanowrimo for the second time. I’ve been good this week and I hope that I stay the course. I’m trying new things with this story and plotting it out a little more. It seems to be helping. Is anyone working on any writing projects?

I’m wondering, did anyone read Aziz Ansari’s book “Modern Romance”? Thoughts? I loved Eric Kleinenberg’s book “Going Solo” and I know he worked on this one as well.
