I told my family what my ex did, now they kinda hate her to varying degrees. She has not seen or spoken to any of my family since and claims she never will, “I can’t look them in the face ever again”. It’s sad because they all loved her and likewise. She said my mother was better to her than her own. That might all be…

The idea of even dating felt alien and not desirable for like six months. But get out there as soon as you feel ready. Nothing will help you move on from the ex like being with someone else.

She asked me to leave in January. “Trial separation.” We hadn’t been happy for a while, but I still loved her. The reasons didn’t add up; I was so sad and confused. About two weeks in, found out: her boss (and at least one other), EIGHT FUCKING YEARS. More than half our marriage.

My dad gets bouts of it. He can out for days when it strikes. The fucking worst. I’m so sorry!

Dynamite snowflakes! That shade is lovely. Turquoise is my jam right now.

 A work in progress. It’ll be like a buckyball when complete. 180 pieces like the little guy on the right.

Big bottle of lavender bubble bath from my special lady. It could be a little bubblier, but I’m taking super relaxing baths every day.

Patiently and dutifully bearing feet.

LOCK IT UP!

One person’s treasure is their partner’s trash would be the truer statement.

Paltrow can act. U2 sucks. So, yes.

I DIDN’T SEE THE TWIST COMING!

I’m recently divorced, finally bought a condo and am getting settled in. I would be a fool to say this is how things will be long term, but I can’t imagine living with someone else.

Not really in keeping with the idea expressed above about learning a skill, but bread machines can make some damn good bread.

I came up with this idea on my own, and wondered if anyone had thought of it. Google yielded approximately 37,000 recipes. Nothing new under the sun. Same with Simon And Garfunkel Chicken.

Trump will say anything that boosts himself and tears down his detractors. ANYTHING. To him this is proper, it’s how you fight. Never really intended to indict Hillary, never really intended to build a wall, it just played well. Therefore, Obama should say that. And Trump should argue against it, regardless if it’s…

It’s not unlikely. Already seems to have an eye for the kinda girl that married (and divorced) dear old dad.

I have an adopted son of color. Had no idea I was providing succor to the enemy.

It makes sense they’re half the board and they had nothing to do with it. They were given do-nothing jobs, and the guys who were supposed to actually do some work came up with this dumb-ass plan.

Best thing I read in 2016 is poetry. The first true American poet, actually.
