I kind of feel Trump is 60% narcissist, 30% evil and the rest is just stupid from the brain atrophy of never actually having to make any effort. I’m with you with Cruz. Any space not filled with dead-eyed evil is dead-eyed sociopath.

To be fair, it’s not as if any of the other options are more reasonable, they’re just not as flamboyant when they say terrible things.

In the mid- 60s my mom had profs who wouldn’t teach women, so all the women in my mom’s college had to take required courses at another college (part of same university, but required classes were taken at ‘home’ college.) Into the 70s, she had friends who were turned down for grad programs they would otherwise have…

As a kid, the lady I babysat for gave me Flowers in the Attic. I was 13. We were hanging out recently, and she was relieved to find out I hadn’t read it (more into Narnia and Middle Earth at that time.)

DTMFA, sister.

yeah, I’m trying to avoid making it a thing, and making him more tense. I’m sorry your ex was a dick. I’m going the “I love you and you turn me on” route, and definitely not pressuring him. We have a really positive affectionate relationship, and droughts in longterm couples dealing with grownup life aren’t unusual,…

I’d rather do it with my truelove, but this is good advice.

At this point I’m willing to do anything if it’ll get me laid on the regular ;)

Same. I’ve brought it up, he agrees it’s an issue and he’d like sex more often too, I suggest maybe making out (no p in v, which seems to be causing stress) but then nothing changes. counselling time? We’ve been together forever, I don’t want to break up, he says he doesn’t want to break up, he is so kind, and…

I started typing a comment, but really I have no words for this anymore.

I’m going to disagree because shit happens (job losses, miscarriages, parents/ friends deaths, illness, parenting challenging kids) and even the best relationships have rocky patches. Tips on how to deal when the communication and/ or the sex stops because of life’s downs can be helpful.

Hmmmm..... cake

Sadly, yes. I love my guy, but I’m the 27%

thanks!

Well, I did it to myself. I’m feeling annoyed with me right now. Castle and cookies with Milo has helped. I’m sure this too shall pass, and I will make paperwork a bigger priority in the future.

Penguin sweater!

I love naked mole rats so much! I even have a little nmr figurine and of course Mo Willems’ coming-of-age classic, Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed. I’m so sad to hear Naked Mole Rat Also Gets Cancer.

I neglected some paper work that I’m supposed to keep, but that no one ever sees, and now someone has asked to see it. So I need to fake months of paperwork and not get caught.

I like honey with turmeric for a sore throat. Hope you feel better!
