November 20014: Barack Obama is elected United States Senator from Illinois.

Oh yeah, totally.

ur not trying hard enuff

NorCal person here. Our water district has asked us to reduce water use even further, and it seems like all my single-home neighbors are complying. Lawns are going brown everywhere except apartment complexes and businesses. I hear the apartment complex behind my house turn their sprinklers on every other night. Come…

NYC is a silly place.

Word. After my father died, and my mom tried dating for awhile, she just said no thanks and raised me on her own. Being that she’s a strong-ass independent woman, she’s not on my case to get married or have kids, because she didn’t ever get back on that path herself. She appreciates I can do it on my own, or not,…

I am so glad my mom “gets it” and leaves me the fuck alone about this topic. When she says she just wants me to be happy....I actually believe her!

What if they just don’t want that for themselves?

I agree with you but I think this runs a bit deeper than “in debt/can’t afford to get married”. I have often said to myself, “if I could afford to get married, maybe I would be”. When I am truthful with myself, I think it’s actually a matter of priorities, as a woman who is in some student debt myself and unmarried.…

Sweden sounds like a kind of utopia. What’s it like to not bang your head against your desk every damn day?

Nope guess not!

Are you assuming ignorance or malice?

Yeah they do, but I would have to go to the shelter and get cat traps myself, then trap the cats, then put angry, feral cats in my car and take them down to the shelter myself, then pick up them up again and release them. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

That’s extremely rude. Feral cats are a real health hazard to humans and animals alike. If people actually got their animals fixed, these poor animals wouldn’t be in such dire straits.

Maybe it’s a good time to say SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS. I have a feral cat colony in my neighborhood that is exponential. These poor animals are sick and flea-infested. They are a public health hazard to my city.

YES YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE DISGUSTING FERAL CATS THAT WON’T STOP FUCKING, GIVING MY DOG FLEAS AND FOULING UP MY GARDEN. HAVE THEM ALL. I WILL PUT THEM IN BOX FOR YOU.

STEP ONE: WASH YOUR HANDS. Seriously. You can give a woman BV if you don’t have some clean, anti-bac soap-washed hands. This has been your public health announcement.

Yeah I am struggling with much of the same issue right now. I relate to your situation. I went to an Ayurvedic practitioner a few weeks ago who basically said the same thing to me as your yoga teacher did, something that had never occurred to me. Once I was ready to deal with the physical manifestation of emotional…

So much this. You get negative attention — you subconsciously do what you can to become invisible. I wish more people talked about the hidden side of weight gain - and the fear that can come with losing it.

Answer: the next time you are flushed or done with working out, take a look a in the mirror to see how you blush naturally. Is it in the apple of your cheeks or in the hollows of your cheeks? Does it go up to the hairline or no?
