It sounds like manipulation to me. Considering/perhaps threatening to withhold financial support well into something like an expensive education after presumably promising it in the beginning? Passive aggressive bullshit, IMO.

That would be nice, but I know enough people with parent issues that saying ‘probably’ seems overly optimistic.

A good friend of mine recently told me ‘family is what you make of it’.

That is the best description I have EVER read. Thank you.

I just saw a photo of him from a NYT article, and his... covering... leaves virtually NOTHING to the imagination. Sigh.

Okay. Here’s the thing. While I personally am too self conscious to go topless, it is legal in New York. I can’t believe they’re wasting so much time and money on this.

So do I! Get cracking, Tumblrites.

Cognitive Dissonance.

Asiago, sliced straight off the block, shredded, I don’t care, GET IN MY MOUTH.

You guys are reminding me yet again that I am insanely glad to have had a hysterectomy. I mean, fight the good fight, I’m glad this product exists, but I’m even MORE glad I don’t need it >.>

Clearly I need to send my local minions out to stalk I mean follow him around. Since I can’t exactly get there quickly.

Something tells me Mr. Trudeau is about to stoke a Supernatural level fandom in politics. i.e. we’ll have a gif of him for everything...

Just remember to occasionally take stock, and maybe most importantly, if any particular incident deeply bothered you or your spouse, stop, think about it, and talk about it. I literally allowed years of problems to build because I was afraid to address them at the time, and finally it was all too much at once.…

The fact you haven’t even seen combat makes me seriously doubt every single thing you’ve posted in this discussion. Maybe the female soldier who can’t pick you up and throw you across her shoulders is smart enough and fast enough to jump in the humvee, park it in front of your incapacitated ass, drag you into it, and…

I like you. I was having a semi-related discussion tonight with a friend, and his response was “To me you are [datladyfortuna], my people, not anything else.” I wish more people could see past the labels to the person.

Maybe the ocean is just poly-land-massory?

I was recently introduced to the concept of aromanticism - i.e. a person who does not experience romantic feelings for other people. Perhaps that’s a topic you might want to research? I find it kind of fascinating, and in a way I think it could be easier on the mind... but I’m sure a lot of people would have trouble…

Damn right. I lost a chunk of money to someone last year but because of *my* anxiety, even though most people would be appalled that I let that amount go, it was literally easier to just write it off mentally than face the situation and try to get it back. In the case of physical abuse, they should be grateful she…
