Thank you! Here’s to new, amazing beginnings!

I am a year older than you and am taking Coursera classes for now.
It’s so cool you found an online program. This will be such a great year for you. It sounds fabulous!

I watched Luther yesterday. Very not pleased. Needs more Alice!
I am bummed I am not allowed the bubbly because of my tooth extraction. When I finally heal, I will go straight for rum. And champagne.

Congrats! This is huge and exciting! I have no doubt you will be a kickass speech therapist.
I would love to go back to school for computer science. Maybe one day. :)

Do you have fb? I have like 15 people on there because I cleaned house and kept only the people who matter the most to me and with whom I talk often.
Either that or email.
I can post a link to my fb here and then erase it once you friend me.
Oh or skype!

I love your cousin! He seems like a really nice person.

Well first, in Croatia, you could visit me, because you’re just adorable and we’d had fun drinking wine that my dad makes in our vineyard.
My bestie from the US wants to visit in July and she sad she wants to rent a car and just drive around Croatia. I recommend…

OMFG I am geeking out so hard right now! I googled him! And you’re related to him! And I loved The Martian! I am holding my fingers crossed for the ISS gig. Amazing. Mind blown.

I am a purebred Croatian girl and have been living here for my whole life. Except a short stint in college in Slovenia (wonderful country too).
…

You totally win at this New Year thing.

K , I think I need some of that too. Clonazepam and sex. Because when I get that feeling, I need, sexual healing!

Wait, what? Your cousin is an astronaut on the ISS?! Are you yanking my chain? Or is that some sort of American humor I don’t understand?

And yes! The sense of community. It’s so cozy and people are approachable and if you need advice, people from all walks of life and different experiences are there to help you.

JillinOff_JackalopeJumper, from Wyoming, you from Colorado or Utah ( it would doxx you if you say where you’re from?). I find this really neat.
Yes, I am allll the way in southeast Europe where the winter is ominously mild. We will get snow in February probably.

Ooo, this looks good. Thank you! I really have to exercise because I have insulin resistance so it’s a matter of life and death and I prefer to work out at home too.

Before io9 merged with gizmodo and io9 had all the science stories, the commenters got into very civil debates about everything and made me think. Same with Jezebel, because I didn’t know how it is for other women in different countries.
I have some friends in the US, so Wyoming sounds good to me. But you have really…

Do you have a home gym? Or are you maybe doing some youtube workouts?
I got recommended FitnessBlender.com and found it to be quite good.

Thank you! You are so very sweet too!
Did you notice Sqarr usually goes through every Social thread and responds to almost every poster? That is so sweet and thoughtful!
Now we just have to find the guy who has the Pope on speed-dial...

Yes to kitty pics! Screw Teslas, they are not furry and purry.

That is a long-ass relationship. It’s practically marriage! I am glad you found comfort in my words. I hope someone ungreys you soon so people can see more of your awesome posts.
Until then, the grey people are here for you. And Sqarr does so much work of ungreying people it’s crazy. She is soo sooo sweet!

Hey, that fake fireplace sounds so cool. Much better than a tipi and then open flames near it. In your living room.
I have been firstly on io9 and then discovered Jezebel. WHat struck was how the commenters formed a community and were pretty civil with on another. I usually missed the trolls because other commenters…

Angel? Do you need one? Where do I apply?
But seriously, I see you all the time making thoughtful comments. Jezebel must have seen this.

But do we get the keys to our new Teslas under our seats too?
