I love hard boiled eggs, but in stuffing? Gross. My mom always puts something strange in it - prunes, oysters, pineapple, chestnuts - and I always thought I didn’t like stuffing as a result. When I made it for my first Thanksgiving away from home, it was a revelation.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out! And that’s really it, I guess. I mean I have people in my life that I like, and if I was in an emergency I have people who I could call, so it’s not like I’m completely alone. But I don’t have anyone who I feel like I could just call and go out for a girls night, or hang…

One of the reasons we work well as a couple is that I’m a total introvert, and he’s really extroverted so we balance each other out. But when we’re apart for more than a couple of days, it does turn into me holed up in the house and realizing that he is the center of my social life.

Stila’s smudge pots were my jam before I switched!

Thanks!

I haven’t, but I’m frankly not surprised. She's so innovative, and crazy talented.

I’m so sorry about your dad - that’s a shitty way to know how well an eyeliner works. It’s definitely great stuff, though!

Starred for mimosas and pizza rolls, not racist uncles. Wishing you lots of patience and booze.

Thank you for the kind words, I really hope that’s the case!

No, I get it! I’m not sure if I want kids, but there are definitely times I feel like I would probably have more friends if I did, even if we weren’t super close, you know? I think theres’s something to be said for that kind of friendship - you have this fundamental thing in common that you can relate to.

I have a great Brazilian bakery near me that I definitely partake of, so I know I could do a whole lot worse! I had Portuguese rolls in New England, and I’ll be visiting again soon, so I’m definitely planning to indulge while I’m there.

His actions were not your fault, full stop. I don’t know him, so I can’t say for absolutely certain, but generally those are patterns of behavior that don’t change easily. If he changed it’s because he worked long and hard on his behavior, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

Bjork seriously got me through 2001. I think I just listened to Post, Telegram and Vespertine on repeat for a solid 18 months.

Urban Decay is awesome, but I also love Kat von D’s Ink liquid liner. I normally don’t do liquid liner, but hers is awesome. Super easy to apply, and stays on flawlessly. I work 12 hour hospital shifts, and it doesn’t budge.

That sucks, I’m sorry. Maybe it’s just seasonal, but I’m feeling really isolated and lonely too (and drinking alone and venting to the internet...). I miss being close with my family, but being near them isn’t an option because of my husband’s job. Hugs to you, I hope things get better!

OMG, my mom does that too, but with random kids of colleagues. Like, I’m honestly not sure if she even knows what my college major was, but she knows these really intimate details about these kids? And talks to me about them like I know them? I know it gets said a lot, but don’t settle on your spouse. Marriage is hard…

I get that, my husband is military so we move a lot. And I’m a godless liberal feminist, so it’s hard to find a lot of like minded military wives. I have a few that I love dearly, but we’re all scattered to the winds at this point. I don’t know if it’s just because he’s been gone, but it’s really getting me down right…

Doing it for yourself is a good enough reason. Go forth and continue being awesome!

I had Portuguese rolls for the first time last year, and they are amazing! I wish I could find them where I live.

There is no shame in boxed wine. It stays fresher longer and is more environmentally friendly. I’m sorry about the rest of it, though.
