Now I get it.

Holy crap, that’s abusive as hell. I’m glad she got out of there before she actually married him, and I hope she’s safe and doing well now.

Oh, hell no. I could never make that drive. The drive from house to mall is roughly ten minutes, and one time, I misjudged and left to come home after it had gotten dark. It had also started snowing AND I missed an exit and got lost. I called the house sobbing, and my mother-in-law guided me back to the house. I felt

I’m a Leo, but definitely a mermaid at heart :-)

Yes, I’m a beach girl, raised at sea level, so mountains scare the bejeesus out of me! I loved Asheville, and would love to live there, but no way could I make that drive everywhere. Charleston, the Outer Banks, Virginia Beach - they’re much more my speed topographicly for sure.

Nope! He always tells me to do it; I think he gets too nervous. He had me open his early admission USC acceptance envelope, too, as well as his scholarship letter.

I know there are a number of people here, though; I just don’t know how to find them because I haven’t kept track of their names. Oh, well, maybe one day! As for SNS, I enjoy reading through it, and watching people spool up. There’s one girl who has not been around for the last couple of weeks, which doesn’t surprise

There used to be quite a few NYC meetups, actually, back in the day. I have stories! Boy, do things happen when people meet in person. I actually met one commenter when visiting NY, although we were friends on Facebook, as well by that point. I know of a few affairs, one marriage at least, and I actually met my now

Back before kinja, when we had a Gawker room to talk off site, people used to arrange meet ups. I’ve always wanted to do a Tidewater one; I’m not on twitter, though, and they got rid of the pm system here, so arranging one would be....how?

Really? You must not have spent time at the beach, because there are no battle fields here. What an odd thing to say.

Who exactly is that on the cover of Self? I know it’s supposed to be Kate Hudson, but the egregious photoshop doesn’t appear to render her even human. I mean, what is going on with her wrist? Why is it missing a chunk?

Well, I’m in Virginia Beach, so right over the line of North Carolina, and 90 minutes drive to the Outer Banks. We’ve lived down the coast on Emerald Isle, as well, which is absolutely gorgeous. I do love Charleston, South Carolina so much, though; the beaches are phenomenal and with my son leaving for Columbia, SC,

My son applied to their engineering school this year, and I’ve never been more thankful for his early acceptance and academic scholarship to University of South Carolina than I am right now. I’m not sure I’ll even open the envelope from Tech when it comes.

Uggghhhh...one of my friends had actual brain fluid dripping down into her sinuses, and had to have that fixed. I don’t even know how that happens. Hope your sinuses are behaving in a better manner now, especially after all that!

Believe it or not, I have two humidifiers, I just need new filters and keep forgetting to buy them! Duh, menopause brain. :-/ I know a number of people who have had sinus surgery, including my neighbor who had the peel off the face and remove the sinus chambers one (dear god), and the thought if it makes me cringe. My

I’ve had a chronic sinus infection for like 20 years. I’ve tried all manner of drugs, but I do admit that I need to get a humidifier in my room, because it’s like the Sahara up in here this winter. And the sinus buddy is something I’ve not heard of! Checking this out pronto, thanks very much :-)

MY SINUSES ARE ABOUT TO EXPLODE

74° here in Virginia Beach. Gorgeous day! Tomorrow, 40s and rain. Wednesday, 70s again. Wtf.
