ER’s do suck, but they can give you diagnostic tests to rule out the super serious stuff (gall bladder, appendicitis, intestinal blockage). They may not be able to diagnose your problem, but they can allay fears that you are dying. Also, you can take all the test results they give you at the ER to a…

Dealing with someone who has mental health issues is very draining, as they often don’t have the energy/resources to be there for you when you are feeling down. An outside support group, or individual therapist for you, to help you to be able to talk about your stresses and problems; it would go a long way to helping…

I was right there with you, until I turned 35, got in a bad health situation, lost my job, got on welfare, and suddenly found myself desperately lonely, depressed and with no one to help me get the emotional help I needed.

Yeah, I had a very very similar experience. I have no doubt at all that my ex sensed how vulnerable and lonely I was and desperate for someone to love me. It was so hard to extract myself, and has effected my self-esteem to this day.

“There is nobody so charming as an abusive man.”

I think it is perfectly normal, but a LOT of chicks get all bent out of shape about it.

Or the politician who wanted Carrie to pee on him?

Agree 100%. It really was great that they just showed women being sexual, and not making a moral judgement on their relationship mistakes. Carrie breaking up with Aiden was heartbreaking, but also a revelation. Whom the heart chooses to love may not make sense to the outside world. They showed how ugly and complex…

You got one on me! I’ve never dated a firefighter.

Oh, I did date someone in the Russian mob... but that wasn’t the murder-for-hire dude. He just roughed folks up. Pretty mundane.

It’s actually surprisingly mundane. He was working in Liberia at the time of the coup, decades ago (1980?). It was a pretty violent country at the time, so he was one of many who did what they had to do, just to survive. A time of killing or being killed, as he described it. Kind of sad, actually. He was a pretty…

....Maybe we are the same person??? Or did we fall for the same guys???

About half the scenarios listed actually happened to me.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

Came here for a Too Funky / Theirry Mugler reference, am not disappointed.

The great thing about thermometers is that is is an inexpensive and speedy way to tell if someone is sick enough to require medicine or a doctor’s attention. The more expensive and complex you make it, the more it defeats this simple and elegant purpose.

Welp, that is a real shitty way to find out otherwise great boyfriend isn’t all that.

Three is a good number for grad school. Why? Because if you know what it is you want to do in life, and you know the kind of institution in which you will flourish, all other choices will automatically fall by the wayside.

When it comes to sweets, careful what you wish for! I was a TOTAL chocoholic in my early 30’s, and the minute I hit 35, I got irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Boom! Incurable stomach issues that only are treatable with lifestyle change. Instantly any sweets at all cause horrible stomach cramps and intestinal issues.…
