I wrote ages ago about needing to have half my thyroid and a tumor removed because the docs couldn't rule out cancer. I had the surgery on Monday and other than being tired, I feel fine. I'm still waiting for the pathology, but the surgeon said things went well and the likelihood is things will be fine.
I'm off work

Do any of my fellow Aussie (or other time-zone-afflicted) commenters have any hints about getting out of the greys? Due to time zone differences I'm usually asleep or at work when most posts go up and don't get a chance to comment until many hours later. By then, it's too late to get any/many recs or comments. When I

When my mother had my sister and I, she was a married stay-at-home-mother with a husband that had a substantial salary and she certainly had enough money to raise us. ~10 years later she realized what a shithead my father is and divorced him, luckily taking us with her. However, her 10+ years of not having employment

Can't be a fun job. Thanks for doing it.

IMO, the credit checks are even worse. "Your having gotten fucked by modern American finance means you must be a terrible employee, so, sorry, though we might otherwise hire you and give you the means to recover from said fuckery, #NOPE. Go flip burgers for seven years as penance."

How to find cute cat gifs in the hopes that Jezebel will notice you and get you out of the Grey 101.

You get me. You really, really get me.

I wear plain bias cut silk slips because I am an outofdate wierdo/have the secret knowledge. Very comfy, will last for decades if you air-dry them, make you look as good as possible in your clothes by making everything drape well, and when you take them off you look great, not squished, no red lines.

Not nearly enough (says the cranky old lady who is sick of seeing through women's skirts. I don't want to see the outlines of your thighs beneath your not un-sheer skirt.).

This American Life/Conan win this round. Demi Lovato is a close second for such an absolutely weird but fascinating photo executed with a perfect Beyoncé line. Well played.

I've found myself reflecting about how my mindset has changed toward things I OMG loved when I was a teen in the 90s now that I am crabby and old. Like I loved loved loooved Rent through college and my 20s and I watched the movie last weekend and I found myself involuntarily thinking, omg stop complaining about paying

i will hide behind lower case letters and tell you - i hated rent. hated. walked out at intermission. i wanted the one guy to return his mom's calls and everyone to get a job. i was afraid i would turn into a republican if i stayed til the end.

My nutritionist told me some women find it harder to lose weight because they are often the primary meal maker in the family. Tough to stick to a diet when you're preparing regular food for the rest of the crew.

that was NOT long and/or unrelated. it's a perfect example of how we cannot trust the police to believe or support us in cases of assault or rape.

God forbid he would prioritize his child's needs for two parents over his bullshit, almost-over, pretentious-asshole skiing preference.

I would say this doesn't
