Chrissy sound like fun mom.

Let me be the first to say:

I’ve just now realized my longest recurring nightmare of people I don’t know forcing their way into my home to throw a rager is likely based on Cat in the Hat. I also always had major anxiety reading/hearing that story.

The Fish in The Cat in the Hat should be at the top of this list. I know, in the cartoon it is voiced by a guy but the book does not assign that fish a gender and I would argue it is the ultimate Lame Bitch.

We are set up to hate the fish, when all it does is point out that we don’t know that cat and he should not be…

I am late to the party tonight but this is my most recently completed bag...

You are fucking awesome. Could we see the pup modeling a little something?

I’ve been using my late husband’s left over clothing to make things for the dog.

Hail Seizure is amazing :)

Congratulations to MiddleChild and you!

Good news/bad news kind of day, I’m sorry.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. I recently ended an ~8 year friendship because a friend of mine was too busy to tell me she moved across the country. I had texted her like, 3 days prior and she didn’t mention a thing. She then dumped on me that it wouldn’t matter because we only saw each other every few months…

And a separate rant: I hatehatehate hearing people claim “Sorry I haven’t been in touch / emailed you that info / done something I should’ve done. I’ve just been so BUSY!”

I’ve been on a weird orange eyeshadow kick lately! It’s weird for me because I usually *hate* the color orange, but I’ve been wearing a ton of it the past couple of weeks.

Beauty thread! (I checked and there wasn’t one? Apologies if I missed it.)

To put it bluntly, fuck that noise. My mother was a “cradle snatcher” to quote my father (said with affection) who exclusively dated men significantly younger than she was and has passed on that predilection to her only spawn (which is me). She worked in the trade union movement - a boys’ club if ever there was - and…

Just keep telling yourself that everyone gets old (if they’re lucky) and this is something everyone over 40 deals with eventually. As far as people not liking your dating habits, fuck them, you don’t need that negative energy.

Ageism thread. I’m 45...never married, no kids. I date younger guys and I’m newly unemployed and going through some really hard times. I seem to be experiencing some serious ageism with companies/hiring and with people who have an issue with me dating guys in their 20’s. I’m so frustrated and hate feeling shamed. Not…

You mean sleepy paralysis?

Congrats and Happy Halloween to everyone who thinks they’re breaking the news about sleep paralysis to the rest of us.

Ok, here goes. Writing this out makes me want to barf.
