Divorced in December of ‘09 (married five years, and age 32 when it crashed.) Three key pieces of advice:
I ended a 20-yr marriage exactly two years ago. Lots of people were shocked, though not those closest to me, who knew we had been miserable for several years. He made the first (written) move, but I moved out, eagerly, within four days. I was too “chicken” to say it first but relieved as f**k. I have been in my…
Unappreciated by whom, Joanna? By you and the rest of the media? Because unlike you elitists, honest, hardworking Americans have been appreciating the hell out of that table for years.
The table has more political experience than the president elect so of course it will be DRAINED with the rest of the swamp.
I have been reading for almost a year but never posted. Christmas this year has been hard. My Dad is visiting and I’m trying so hard to show him that I am doing OK. He comes every year at Christmas no matter what. So I have to remind myself that even though change feels slow for me it must be pretty dramatic for him.
He’s a pretty special beast, in my humble opinion! (Can you believe someone gave this handsome fellow away? But I wish them all the best, because he was just what my family was missing)
My dog is the opposite. He not only understands presents, he expects his be wrapped and patiently waits his turn to open his gifts.
There’s a difference between working for a customer you don’t particularly like (or even loath) vs publicly acting to prop up and celebrate them. More than that, because this isn’t just “a job” they have to deal with becoming a propaganda tool for a politician who supports legislature that may directly seek to negate…
Thanks Bobby, I am more than happy not to see Passengers.
Except Tilda does a weird, insensible thing when she says, “I’m a Scottish woman of 55 who lives in the Highlands. There’s precious little projected on contemporary cinema screens that means a great deal to my life, if truth be told.”
I loved this movie. I love the original trilogy but for movies based on a galactic rebellion against an evil empire, they are almost totally bloodless. This movie felt like a rebellion, like there were actual stakes, and the story felt realistic and beautiful and thankfully not the least bit superfluous. I was worried…
I want to buy that guy a cup of coffee
I agree with you completely. I’ve been arguing about this with liberal friends in the northeast for years now... they have no idea how terrible public education is basically anywhere outside of bougie coastal suburbs. I graduated from public school in Indiana with classmates that couldn’t read, and almost none who had…
I’ve found it’s helpful to start small, and always in a non-confrontational manner. There’s actually sound neuroscience behind this- if people feel attacked, they go into fight or flight mode and just shut down. So go small and go calm. When I’m done doing that, I like to say, “Well, it’s something to think about,”…
It’s a problem that traces its roots to the American educational system and thus requires a long-term solution involving a radical overhaul of how Americans are taught to think.
AND to couch this in terms of protecting public safety is complete bullshit. The state government and law enforcement have been setting up unnecessary barricades and blockades and positioning themselves across from the camp as a line of fully-geared riot police so that the press can take photos of a scene that is…
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that Rump and his cohorts are complaining about the recount, and, in the same breath, claiming the popular vote loss was due to massive fraud.
This seems like such an odd thing for people to get their panties in a twist about. Between the Russians, voter suppression efforts, and Trump claiming the election was rigged I don’t see how taking a closer look at a couple of states can hurt, maybe it will help restore some confidence in our voting system. It’s…
