It’s hard, right? I love my mother, but she has a personality disorder that she refuses to acknowledge or treat. Superficially, she’s awesome and funny and cool, but beyond the surface, she’s difficult and troubled. It makes me worry, because she doesn’t have any real friends, and tends to latch on to people that she…

Excellent!

That sounds delicious! I made au gratin potatoes last year at Thanksgiving and they were phenomenal!

My sister invited me to a concert 6 hours away, and I declined, because I had to work in the morning. A couple of months later, I found out that not only did she get to meet the band, but one of my favorites ever opened, but she didn’t know who they were, so she didn’t tell me! This was more than a year ago, and I’m…

But I think I’m ungrayed now, so yay??

Cute! I love cable knitting - I’m working on a cabled cowl in a delicious silk-wool blend. Too bad it’s a gift, I want to wear it and never take it off!

Ballayage! (I’m drinking so I’m probably way off on the spelling there) It looks super cute, and I love your outfit!

It always happens that way, right? I have definitely put up with things in relationships that I would never have imagined. Sometimes it’s way easier to see it when it’s not your situation.

Ugh, I have endometriosis and it sucks so bad - you have my complete sympathy there! I’m sorry that people feel the need to comment on your fertility issues, what is up with that?! Losses are hard no matter what, and I’m sorry you’re going through that. I hope everything gets better soon!

I’ve come to realize that I really don’t have any friends, and it’s bumming me out. I have my husband, who’s working out of town for the next couple of months, and my siblings who all live in different states than me, and that’s really it. My husband has friends that I’m quite fond of, and I have work acquaintances,…

I’m drinking a decent Chilean white wine blend, and (thankfully) eating dinner, because your posts always make me hungry! I’m sorry you’ve been depressed, I hope it lets up soon. Sounds like you have some great stuff lined up for Thanksgiving, though!

I don’t have anything constructive to add, other than I’m so so sorry you’re going through this - what a terrible situation. It’s amazing how hard it can be to see our own situations for what they are. I really hope things get better for you!

Stuffing is the best, and I agree - no weird stuff in it. Just white bread, butter, seasonings and turkey drippings. That and homemade cranberry sauce!

Ugh, I’m sorry you’re going through this, but you look fab!

Thank you for posting this - I was hoping there was a way to donate.

It would be both high concept and extremely boring.

I...am weirdly intrigued by this idea?

Hi fellow alum! The way this was handled was so incredibly shady and awful, it makes my stomach turn. I’m really glad I was long gone when it all went down, I’m not sure I would have been able to deal with the fallout on campus.

Right? I don’t know anything about him beyond what was in the article, and I think I’ve only seen one episode of Modern Family, but it seems like even more of a gamble to come out about this as a less established actor. There are a lot of really fantastic plastic surgeons out there, but I can imagine the competition…

It’s really brave of Reid Ewing to discuss his plastic surgery and body issues so publicly - I feel like that’s such a taboo, especially for men. I’m glad he seems to be getting better!
