What you should have said was that perhaps the reason he is divorced should give us pause. But then what if he were single? Should we then question what sort of man he is that no woman will have him? What if he's married with a homemaker wife? Shame him for following the hetero-normatives?

I think that when someone…

I don't get to share that part of my life often, and I'm in a place right now where I need to remember I did have my feet on solid foundation at one point. So, you're quite welcome. :)

Good for you! Ole Miss is so pretty. I'm from the Ham. It's one of the most colorful places I've ever been - both culturally and scenery-wise. I can 100% say I never thought I'd miss it. Do you know what part you'll be living in?

I'd been living in a world of red rage until I read that. I now am going to bed in a world of red fuzzies. I demand more 'your mom' stories, please.

Oh, come on. Where are the patchy eyebrows, shadow mustache, and evidence of use of nose contouring?

Perfect way to announce a pregnancy.

It absolutely depends on the town or city you live in. And get ready to be asked which school you support out of the blue by every single stranger you didn't know existed.

Your name and this comment = perfection.

I'm so glad it's not just me, haha. I've mentioned it to a few girlfriends of mine who seem horrified that I would prefer anything other than subtlety. That's great that you became attuned to his facial expressions. I'm a little envious because I absolutely just don't have that talent.

Same philosophy here. Not depressing in the least. Besides, some people sleep ugly. That romanticized vision we have of rolling over to see the person with a blissful sleeping smile and hands curled under their cheek? Yeah.. not reality. Go drool on your own pillow. I'll drool on mine.

My favorite go to when the guy was at my place was to mention that it wouldn't be a good idea to stay because my mom was an early riser/night owl/light sleeper and meeting her in the hall would be a super fun experience for him. This only failed once when the guy wandered into my closed door office and realized I was…

Oh, I'm so not a cuddler either. I'm not even a touchy feely kind of girl before sex. If you want to have sex, ask, yanno? Don't start finger walkin' up my leg or try the slow massage thing. I'm on to your game, buddy, and all you've done is trigger my creepy feelin' flag. I'm also in the camp that a single shot of…

I had a similar sort of situation, and it's absolutely one of the best relationships I've ever had. We initially had begun as a one night stand (we had common friends and worked together) that, after the sex, had us both cock our heads and go, "Hm. Verah niiiice. Let's do this again. Perhaps immediately." We ended up…

Moments like that are when I most wish I could listen into little kitty brains.

Alright. Question of ignorance here. The placenta can be delivered within 20 minutes or 2 (or whatever) hours.. My understanding would be that the body decides on the delivering timeline. (Give or take the induction drugs.) Basically, I'm confused.

Exactly! My car is my safe place, my let loose and de-stress place. I simply don't understand the mentality that drives someone to think they'd even be remotely successful in hitting on someone while operating a moving vehicle. Truckers (and I mean anyone whose car is lifted above mine) are the scummiest. I now…

I got this lovely expression on my kitty who was otherwise unconcerned and demanding of head scratchin'.

I'm in somewhat of the same boat as soaking in a tanning bed once or twice a month has helped my circulatory issues tremendously. I find it a much cheaper, long term, and, yes, healthier option for my body than swallowing vitamin supplements and prescriptions (like lyrica etc.) daily. Sitting out in the sun just…

Oh, me too, me too, me too! (As far as being a pale skinned brunette.) The only others I know of are my cousins. As I'm approaching a new decade of life and have had health professions tell me, with all seriousness, that they think I'm lying about my age, it's nice to know that my translucency will pay off.
