Be like me, and just give up on finding any sort of bearable human companionship. It's less depressing than eternally holding out hope and being tormented by the slim pickins.

Mostly what I have learned from this is that Shelley Long had a bangin' figure back in the day.

I HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF JERSEY. [quiet weeping]

Avenue! Avenue Avenue Avenue. Good styles for those of us who don't want hoochie clothes (Torrid) or frump-wear (Katherine's) or overpriced crap that falls apart after 2 washings (Lane Bryant). Decent prices, good end-of-season sales, plus shoes and jewelry and handbags and hosiery, etc. etc. etc. Avenue!

Every CVS I search for these products has a TINY and hard-to-find display for the cosmetics. The hair and skin care is easier to locate, but if you want Nuance cosmetics, you need a bloodhound and magnifying glass. Woe.

As soon as I don't have to deal with the evil landlady who forbids me to have pets (i.e. my mother), I will!

I agree. I'm tubby and I think they look awful on me, and most other heavy women, unless worn with a long-ish tunic top or something.

I'm lol'ing at how she says this:

That... is an AWESOME idea. Which I am going to steal at earliest opportunity.

With this lot, it's really the only natural conclusion. Thinking of any other definition is the stretch.

Just thinking about it is making *me* shake.

You are a good person. I am not that good.

I can't be the only one thinking about the complications of those two trying to fist each other.

Not to be insensitive, but... man, I'm so glad I never spawned. Every time I see a post like that, my uterus gives me a high-five and thanks me for sparing us both that torture.

My mother is like that, too. My SIL made BBQ ribs yesterday, with the BBQ consisting of a mix of ketchup, low-sodium soy sauce, and honey. Yep, still "so spicy!" to my mother, who then got mad when we laughed in her face.

The way McD's has been downsizing portions while raising prices is turning people off, too. Ever since they started charging over $8 for a 'value" meal consisting of a shrunken burger, small fries, and child's size drink, they lost not only me but pretty much everyone at my job (20+ shit-paid social workers who are on…

You're welcome. If I didn't come up with ways to amuse myself about it, I'd do a lot more crying.

Oh, so you've met my grandmother, then? Woman'd walk a mile out of her way to get her feelings hurt.

AHHHHHHHHH MY OVARIES
