I was a transfer student my sophomore year and it was rough at first. I took me 3-4 months to find my niche and a good group of friends. I remember how isolating and lonely it was to be the 'transfer' and not have the established bond of the freshman year together, but it absolutely got better and I made some lifelong…

Oooh! Tell me more about your unique and original analysis.

Agreed, and for some reason the thought that this post was about Doug Barry made me chuckle, so thanks.

My favorite part is the scribbled Kanye bleeding through the back of the shirt. You can sell these for at least $125.

You're being ever-willfully obtuse. The KKK is most likely trying to marry off the unwed jurors as we speak.

It shouldn't be a race issue.

Also, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/nov… Yeah.... so, even with the edit, it's still a current issue.

Hmmmm... The exploitation colonialism that many European countries engaged in was pretty shitty though.

But, in all their thick thigh glory, they still have a thigh gap?! I mean, come on.

I'm not formerly acquainted with the people who are currently protesting, so I can't give you a rough estimate. I am also unclear how this relates to what I just stated, but I will indulge you. Just this once.

Well, maybe, they hear someone yelling "Trayvon," and he is remembered. And maybe, they hear someone yelling "Trayvon," and for a minute they're reminded how fucking unkind our society is to minorities and how a kid can't get fucking skittles without the threat of being shot dead. And, maybe, they hear someone yelling…

Yes, you're right! Instead they should sit at home and watch the Big Bang Theory and brush all this silly "Trayvon injustice" aside. What lazy bastards.

I know, I can't even get started on that one. In addition to the spoonfeeding, she lets him fall asleep in bed because he's "scared of sleeping alone," though he has always slept soundly and easily at our house without any issue. But, hopefully, we can all work this out soon, and, at least, are trying to...

Ack, his lack of firmness is definitely part of what annoyed me. At times I feel like I'm way too much of the reinforcer and really need some more back-up. When cooler minds prevail, it'll definitely be a point of conversation. We typically do something similar to your mom, actually! I have yet to wrap the leftovers,…

Haha, it's so true. And it is ever-changing! One week he would LOVE sandwiches and love avocados, and the next month, the sight of avocado made him gag. I feel like I've been really good at "picking my battles," especially when it's food-related, but sometimes it can be so hard and so frustrating. What I've noticed is…

Thanks for that, really. He doesn't have any health problems, thankfully, it just seems like a phase in which he's testing the waters. Anyway, I appreciate it!

No one will probably see this, but I am quite pissed right now and need to vent.

Aw, thank you so much! I actually am a therapist, so that makes it extra nice to hear. Anyway you're totally going to rock it July 4th! Have fun!!

Exactly! Cheerlead yourself! I used to become very uncomfortable with compliments myself before I realized they made me uncomfortable because — shocker— I didn't believe them and it's incredibly difficult to graciously take credit for something that you don't feel like you own.

I used to experience really similar thoughts and feelings about myself, right down to the "sometimes I even start to feel a little dirty around them"— even after I had primped for an hour, was wearing a killer dress, just got my hair done, etc. The problem with all this was that I was so wrapped up in my ruminating…
