i remember hollywood’s casual dismissiveness regarding the poverty of the child actors in “slumlord millionaire,” basically throwing them a few breadcrumbs with the fare-thee-wells. hollywood needs to leave these children alone unless it means to change their lives for the better.
My street is lined with enormous jacarandas and it’s like a painting when they’re in bloom, but I have jacaranda seedlings volunteering all over my garden and in my potted plants. I will send you as many as you want.
I just googled jacaranda and it’s soooo pretty. I live just outside Boston so I need really hardy plants. Luckily, salvia does really well here.
Skip it & go do something you enjoy. Don’t feel bad about it. Obligatory ‘holidays’ piss me off. That’s what I’d do but I’m also an asshole ;)
I didn’t see a garden thread and I really just want to talk about how pretty my salvia is this year.
Yeah. My dad is a nightmare, my mom is a doormat, and my normally-preternaturally-patient spouse is at the end of his rope due to his own family’s health problems and endless dependence on him.
How about this, or this, or this, or this or my favourite one? There’s a lot on Amazon, or if you want a particular brand try ebay maybe?
Hi friends! I’m anxious about Father’s Day tomorrow. My immediate family members are narcissistic and enabling, and family gatherings are terrible for me, whom they’ve always treated as the family scapegoat. My mother is deliberately, terribly cruel toward me, plus fifty other unflattering adjectives. To keep the…
Ooh I second that request. Trying to find a dress that will accommodate a normal bra is next to impossible. And I am far too *ahem* blessed to go without one. And my boobs eat strapless bras for breakfast.
Don’t sweat it too much. The worst thing you can do with these feelings is pressure yourself into a relationship and life that satisfies the ‘settle down’ thing but doesn’t satisfy you as an individual. Just live your life, do the things you love, don’t sequester yourself just because you’re single. It doesn’t work if…
I was basically single for 8 years before I met my husband when I was 33. I don’t think it usually takes that long but I had move 1,000 miles to find him. Enjoy your 20s. Date people you don’t see a future with. Find casual buddies. One for sex, one for dinners, one for culture. Two years (especially in your 20s) is…
I had that problem at your age. Looking back, I don’t know what I was worried about, but it’s very distressing when you’re going through it. Hang in there!
Hi all, I comment here infrequently, but I’ve been having a little bit of sadness and was wondering if anyone had similar feelings. I’m 26 and in a profession I enjoy, and just got a new job that is super great and have great friends, but I still feel a bit empty. I spent my teens and early 20s in relationships, and I…
You can’t go wrong with the classics from the 60s and 70s that go for 6+ minutes. Songs like “Carry On Wayward Son”, or “Freebird”. You can rock out and the kids can learn about the classics.
