Yeah, the Pok Pok. I do that, too. It's definitely the most fun!

Agreed. I was just thinking, "why is her having money a problem?" What's it to me? I am not sure why I should care either way.

OMG YES. I feel like I have to justify myself every time I tell someone who's grown up with me that I'm going to be a nurse. They're always like, "??? what?!" I don't know exactly what they see me doing with my life, but apparently nursing isn't it. Sometimes I doubt my decision, but I keep reminding myself that doing…

I graduated in December of 2010 with a BA in psychology. I tossed around going to law school (thank God I didn't; it's so expensive) and going back to get my PhD in clinical psychology, only assuming I could get a full ride. I now am being practical and am back in school for nursing, my BSN - which was a hard…

"Don't feel guilty for being who you are." Thank you. I had never had that thought in that particular way. It helps.

Completely normal. A good personality adds attraction, no doubt about it. That's why none of us finds that handsome stupid frat boy attractive, even though - physically - he is good looking.

Well said. I love Ron Swanson.

I can't get over how horribly produced this is! Wow.

DITTO LOVE

My mother has always, always said that companies that are hiring always want to see that you've been working doing SOMETHING. She says that they are really wary of, say, a year of no work. They'd rather see you work at...I don't know, McDonald's or something that just pays minimum wage.

Really? I love it. And Madonna's gap teeth. It's cool. I had a male friend who - after like, two months of watching True Blood - finally got over her gap teeth and decided he was attracted to her.

I work for Sallie Mae. Can you get your loans on a lower payment? (You probably can.) There are a lot of repayment options - maybe not a lot, but at least like, 3 or 4. I hope this isn't unwanted advice...

Okay, does Bristol Palin not want to get a real job and get on with her life out of the spotlight? I mean, does she want to be a movie star or something? I don't get it. Why not get a regular job...?

Mmm, good point. I don't comment on his looks, really. Thank you for pointing that out. I can't think it's weird or bad because I don't do it myself, and I still definitely enjoy his company.

Hmmph. Well, I am definitely okay with the coping mechanism. It is better than mine when I am super stressed; I just cry all the time and snap at people. He at least still smiles around me and wants to cuddle. God, he makes me feel like such a girl.

Good for you! It is really hard, for me at least, to tell when a friend is treating me poorly. Men, not so much. But with female friends...well, I have major issues with female friends anyway (WHY does it seem like men have such great relationships with each other but females seem to ALWAYS be in competition or up…

Yep. He's on his ICU rotation right now, so I know he is seeing a lot of emotional patients and their families. I think perhaps he feels he can't be emotional in order to keep himself calm and rational at work? Maybe? Is that how you deal with seeing patients who have severe trauma/diseases/etc?

Good advice! I'm gonna try that next time.

:)

That is not a stupid reply; this has got me thinking...
