Our building is hot in the summer, because the A/C doesn’t work well. But that’s nothing compared to how cold it is in winter because the state can’t be bothered to pay to heat it properly. It’s gotta be around 50F. Everyone, men and women, wears jackets and scarves inside during winter. Most of the women also wear…

It’s a major part of why I can’t leave...

It’s funny that you mention conferences. I attend a conference known for its drinking in a field known for its drinking on an annual basis. And still, it’s the Wisconsin contingent that shuts down the bar every night of the conference and we wonder where everyone else went...

Traditionally it’s Korbel in a Brandy Old Fashioned. At least, it’s the Korbel truck that drives up to all small town bars.

Oh well, who cares what kind of color it is?

Mine was royal purple, but that may be because I was born in 1984. (Okay, it’s still my favorite color.)

I recently found out through a friend of a friend on Facebook that my Most Significant Ex got engaged (we’re not in contact anymore and live in different states). If he had contacted me, I would have seen it as total pity, like he thought I still cared or something. Of course, he always looked down on me/is probably a…

I think for me it definitely increases the chances of infection, it makes sense. After all, it’s a wound.

I’ve had this issue. I sometimes wonder if hormones play a role, because it does seem to happen at a particular time each month. But I also figured out that condoms were making me more susceptible to microtears, which in turn lead to more opportunity for yeast to colonize. Since I’m in a relationship with no STI…

I never realized that an entire city could be an alcoholic till I moved here. I am surprisingly okay with it.

I live next door to a large, unsalted body of water and it is AWESOME. It makes the -15F degree days worth it to know I can water my flowers but don’t even need to because water like, comes out of the sky all the time. It’s almost like this place is more suited for life or something!

It’s like he’s never even heard of skirt steak.

I had steak just the other night. I got two for $7, AND they were organic. Served it with roasted brussel sprouts. Sounds luxurious but the whole thing cost $10 for two people. Newsflash Republican assholes: that’s not much more than fish sticks and it’s about 3000 times healthier.

Sorry my neck is way too long for a pixie cut. Without the distraction of my long dark hair, I'm all neck.

Given my boyfriend my beer and my steak, while I was served his salad and fruity cocktail. Good lord.

I got a comment about how cold my “little” hand was at a meeting the other day. Never mind that I was the person there doing the most technical and physical part of the job.

That counter space!

I don't get it at temperatures quite that high, but I do get it at about 45F, can't feel anything, pain. Around here that's considered downright warm, so my partner never can understand what I'm talking about.

I'm starting to think I may have Raynaud's. I would literally be dead without my Sorels.

I didn't realize it wasn't normal.
