I’m not sure if you’ve gotten responses to this already but I went to Lutheran schools for 14 years and I’m not sure about #1, but for #2 I was taught that before the first “sin” all animals were vegetarians because the world was “perfect” so they didn’t need to eat other animals. Not sure on the weeds thing.

Oh that sounds perfect.

It’s just SO BAD it’s good

Wow it’s actually on Hulu! Thanks for the unique rec :-)

I drink a bunch of orange juice and a TON of water and drink/eat warm chicken broth or soup. Basically just a ton of fluids. And lots of sleep under lots of blankets. Also zinc tablets.

I’m usually only an active commenter at night/on the weekends since I’m only logged in on my personal laptop and don’t know my key so I can’t comment while at work. But I always appreciate and look forward to your comments even if I’ve never really engaged with them. You’re always thoughtful and insightful. Please…

Oh my god, have SO MUCH FUN! I am so jealous. You’ll have to tell us all about it at the first SNS after you get back. Maybe you’ll inspire me to take a cool scary trip :-)

Yeah, I know they’ve gotten way more strict about prescribing it. Is it just on your face or other areas too? It was all over my face, back, and chest so it was super severe. My older sister also had severe acne and was on Accutane at pretty much the same time as I was and it made her extremely depressed.

I had horribly awful acne when I was like 15. I got Accutane which cleared it up completely 100%. Best skin of my entire life. I had to stop it early because I was getting blood in my stool (it has lots of potentially bad side effects; I don’t even know if they prescribe it anymore). My great skin lasted a long time…

Are there any good Christmas movies on Netflix that aren’t mainstream (i.e. not Elf or something that I’ve definitely seen before)? I’d even be open to a cheesy Lifetime/Hallmark type movie if it’s at least somewhat entertaining. Or alternatively, good Christmas episodes of TV shows that might be on Netflix/Hulu (I…

That dude made that account just to say that to you. He’s the fucking weird ass kid.

Oh god, you just reminded me of a drunken hookup in a tent I had last summer (of 2014). Luckily it was really light and I noticed right away in the morning AND for some reason we had ended up sleeping straight up on the tent floor and not on any blankets, so while he was still sleeping I wiped up the blood on the…

Yeah, it wasn’t so much his age, just the fact that he was still an undergrad and I’ve been out of undergrad for 3.5 years. Waayy different lifestyles

Haha after I wrote that I was like “damn I sound overdramatic” but being three and a half years out of undergrad makes me feel a wooorld away from someone that’s still there!

Getting McDonald’s after an ill-conceived hookup is my favorite pastime.

I can’t think of any that are holiday-specific, so can I just tell the story of my random hookup last weekend? Okay, thanks!

Something reminded me of this so I had to come back and find this post and say THANK YOU for this. I’m 25 and work in public health for christ’s sake and did NOT know this at all. It makes me feel really stupid too when I realize I never thought about the logistics of menstruation, etc. I also went to Lutheran schools…

I have to say: saaaaame

Do you have any savings? Honestly, I’d say do it. You spend over a quarter of your time every week at your job. It’s not worth it to be miserable for 25% of your life. If this opportunity came along easily enough, if it’s not extended, I wouldn’t think you would have TOO much trouble finding something else again.

I got a beautiful real Christmas tree and icicle-style lights for my tiny apartment and am almost finished decorating! It’s so cozy in here it’s hard to be sad.
