Courtney lived a lot of life, though. That shows.

I heard my eleven year old son tell a friend on Xbox Live that he wants to be a police officer.

The best advice I can offer as someone who has never been in your shoes is to find a PFLAG chapter near you. They can connect you with other parents who have gone through/are going through what your family is dealing with now, and they can provide support to you as you support your child. Hang in there <3

Let us raise our glasses in celebration, for yesterday was the day I got moved out from under my old boss. Now he and I both report to the same woman. I am so, so glad to be rid of him. He was a busybody bureaucrat with a love for tracking every little thing. He held meetings to plan meetings planning meetings. And…

I haven't followed the thread you are talking about, but one thing I have learned on here is that when a conversation gets too heated, the best thing for me is to stop responding and/or delete responses. If the conversation isn't productive or if it gets to the point where you are just trading insults, walk away.

Hi, fellow Colorado resident and I just started a smoking medical grade, low THC strain for my anxiety. It. Is. Awesome. Regular higher THC strains give me bad pain attacks but I researched the low THC strains and there seems to be some preliminary evidence that it helps anxiety, PTSD and other mood disorders like…

I'm in CO too (love the CO!!!), and have tried the stuff you get in stores. It's pretty controlled. You know what the effect is. The problem with the shit from HS is you never knew what you were really getting. I would go to a medical MJ place and explain the issue. They'll probably prescribe an indica with lower THC…

My mom told me that she supports my fiction writing. I shared a piece of my novel with her and she enjoyed it. It feels good to know my mom thinks I'm talented and supports my goal of improving my writing. In fact, she has been talking to people about it.

I just wanted to share the quilt I made for my boyfriend's cousin. She's pregnant and I'm giving it to her at her baby shower. This is just the top, I had to send it out to be quilted because I couldn't handle it. This is the first quilt I've ever made, and I'm really proud of how it turned out.

I am not pregnant! I feel sort of silly about freaking out last week. Thanks for listening guys.

I have a big interview coming up this week and I am so, so nervous. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but I have a good feeling about this one. I'm just terrified I'm going to blow it. I don't just need this job (and believe me, I need a job), I really want it. It's a good company, the employees there tend to…

I'm happy to report that marriage counseling has seriously improved my marriage. We've only gone a few times but the improvement is evident. I haven't been this happy in such a long time. Any jezzies know of any volunteer work in Houston?

My kids begged me to make donuts, and I did and then they did not like them. AUGHEhEhEHE. But they were fantastic. I made raised doughnuts and some were apple cinnamon with whisky and some were strawberry cream. I am going to try them again with homemade custard and chocolate glaze.

I have no kids, but was talking to a mom last night. Her 9-year-old daughter asked her what having a period is. She explained it. The daughter also asked if the mother had sex with anyone before she had sex with her daddy. As well as if she had sex but didn't have a baby. Mother answered in a straightforward way, but…

Um, can you get your mom to make ME a hooded fleece onesie?

Going to be talking to daughter and probably son about sex soon. She is 10 (11 In April) and he is 9. I figure he is going to hear it all from her second hand anyway so may as well tell him first hand.

can i ask why you follow "Instafamous" teen moms?

I follow a lot of "instafamous" moms on Instagram, and a few of them are very young. One in particular is 17, and she got pregnant when she was 14 or 15. She was very quiet about who the father of her child was until a few months ago when they made their relationship "Facebook official." The guy looked very, very old…

First of all, fuck that guy, he was trying to take advantage of you. Trust me, I'm going to be honest with you, what you're going through, I promise you it is normal, what you are going through is valid. Sometimes, like grief, the effects of a traumatic experience don't hit you until much later. Some people (and even…

This Saturday night, I raise my glass to Draven Rodriguez. You brought so much joy to countless others with your unforgettable senior portrait. I'm sorry that so many people were not able to give you the happiness that you were able to give to the world. I'm sorry that so many others failed you and were not able to…
