I am going to take a picture. That’s a great idea. I’m going to take a picture of the “stocking stuffers” he got for me. Thanks :)

Thank you all for your kind advice. I have a counseling appointment in a week and I am grateful to have the means to go. I am going to eat a cookie today and freeze the rest.

Hey internet strangers. I mostly lurk here, but I need to tell the void my dad died on Wednesday because of the flu. He typed an email to a friend at 4:30 on Tuesday that he wasn’t feeling good and he was gone at 5:30 am Wednesday.

My grandmother had good parking karma, too, and my mom would always say, “Gramma’s luck” whenever we would find a good parking spot. Similar story to yours. 

Lands end has super sturdy suits! Surprisingly comfortable and almost fashionable. I have a few with the miniskirt (I know those dark hair pale skin problems). I like their tankinis and they wear like iron. Plus you don’t have to worry about a boob coming free. (They are pricy but worth it; plus they should be on sale…

Fingers crossed for you!

As I get older, I realize how irrationally lucky I was with my ex bf stalker. My school took the complaint seriously. They blocked all of his phone numbers from the entire college exchange (he would call random college numbers and ask about me, ranting at my slutty behavior). They reminded my entire dorm (and campus…

I have the British version of your set up (tea kettle, pot, and miniature fridge for keeping a tiny pot of milk), and a surprisingly large selection of Assam (and malty black blends, and a giant supply of “this is what my coworkers like”). Tea is amazing! (And right now, my workstation is so cold, I need the tea more…

Yes! I went to brunch (I know) and ordered a tea. I asked for black tea - whatever black tea would be great, with milk and sugar. It came out in a beautiful bodum pot, and literally was one bag of Red Rose DECAF! In an entire pot! I would have loved Lipton. (How do you have fancy bodum pots and charge $4 for tea and…

Using your “no extra risks” argument, teachers and nurses (and any manual laborers) shouldn’t work while pregnant. I personally don’t want be a sex worker, but I also don’t want to work in an amazon warehouse. At least with one of those jobs, you get to decide what you want to do. 

Yeah, I agree with this. If you can swing it, take the day and go! If nothing else, you might see how much you should be making. (And job opportunities!)

I think because they are warm, moist, and have sugar in them (from non-coffee cups like the hot cocoa one I made before the ants - hurk), they do attract insects. Especially in places where there is no one to specifically clean it. (After a quick googles, roaches in the coffee machine is definite a Problem People Have…

Our Keurig was filled with ants. Someone cleaned it out and people still use it but nooooooooooope. I have a electric tea kettle in my room (and a miniature fridge for milk), and I just make tea or pour over coffee. (One of my coworkers has a mini French press tumbler combo.) I work with big kids though, so that helps…

So, intersex (not completely male or female) and chromosomal gender differences happen in about 1/2000 births. So about as common as red hair. Fuck these assholes. 

I do something that has regularly scheduled meetings and eventually, you start hanging out with people on other days. I did pottery class, a professional organization, and a rpg group after I got divorced. All of them worked well for meeting people, the professional group I met my closer friends, but it’s because I’ve…

White people, statistically, are the fucking worst. Junior Mint Trump just called for war for voting. What an asshole. Fuck all the Republicans and fuck white people for refusing to have a hard conversation with their racist uncle Kevin. 

I know this is in the greys, so if you read thank you for dealing with this cesspool.
