Upgraded my life and downgraded stress by giving myself permission to just do the best I can every day; worrying only about the things I can actually do something about that day, leaving the rest for tomorrow, and not trying to be perfect in every way all the time. Its just too damn tiring.

I keep a plastic ziplock bag in the freezer that I put odds and ends left over veggies, stems from broccoli, etc., in, then (more in winter) when I want to make soup, they all go into the pot, which gives a nice variety of taste and texture and is economical as well.

Don’t forget the SDS and proper pictogram labeling for transport, mix, use, and disposal of the gatorade.

It took a lot of guts (and writers) to post this.

I highly recommend SPFVampire. Seems to work well for me.

There is a difference between getting upset and needing to compose yourself from employees/coworkers who use tears to try to manipulate others (male or/and female). I am not heartless, but especially in disciplinary meetings, I just hand them a tissue and keep going. By the time we get to that point, they should not…

Any victory is still a victory, and the longest journey is begun with a single step. Go, Sisters, Go!

I am wondering how hard this is to install. I would like one, but, I am not a mechanic and usually ending up doing more damage than good when I try the DIY stuff..

I wondered that too, cause I am female. I’ve dated worse.

That is actually a good deal on the H&R even without the Amazon gift card.

Because the suicide/depression/addiction rate among people who have lived through this experience is so high, if they manage to live through it, they are indeed survivors. There are more ways to end a “life” than “death” and living with fear, guilt and shame are some of them.

Me too.

And this is crucial, you have to be the parent, not the friend. The parent has to make the tough decisions and stick to them. Don’t waver on this or all is lost.

No need to teach that, its purely instinct.

Here is a piece of advice for you. There is no such thing as the perfect parent, and ignore those who will criticize your parenting (usually people who have no children or were such dreadful parents their children hate them). Do the best you can, cut yourself some slack for making mistakes so long as you try to fix…

If anyone says they are going to harm themselves if you don’t send nudes, let them.

I don’t care about appearing ridiculous (helps keep the coworkers from getting too close, “just in case”) so I am all for trying anything that might work. I hope it does!

I sold my Mustang when I was pregnant for the same reason, and I cried like a little girl when it pulled out of the driveway. My only consolation was (and is) I will get another one some day, but not until the kid is gone and wont ever ask to drive it (because the answer would be “Oh Hell No”).

$70 is still kind of pricey, but, Boos IS the best.

Its not weird. I have been pregnant, and I can assure you, when I got past the whole throwing up 24/7 phase, my sex drive went through the roof, and certain physical changes make it even hotter. Besides, once the baby comes you will be too tired for sex, so get it while its hot.
