i want to plaster this sentiment on every mirror in the world:

Ryan “Chino” Atwood, Ben McKenzie. my O.C. game is still strong.

it actually seems totally appropriate for a kid’s room! i just hate it because it was everywhere in college and does nothing for anyone from a lighting perspective. if your kid loves it, fuck me and my stupid opinion. obviously she can love whatever lamp she wants. <3

agree, wholeheartedly, this is the super correct. :) the only thing worse is this fuckin thing:

co-signed. i’m the oldest of many, don’t ask for shit, paid my own way and i don’t have any business being in anyone else’s money until they ask me for mine. “sad sister” sounds like “snotty sister who’s bored as fuck and looking for anything to be annoyed about because she has eight hours a day to play with a cat and…

sad news: in the article, you can see there’s an obvious addition of a drop ceiling in the dining room, with can lights. i with they had kept the esthetic consistent! my husband wants cans in my almost-period-perfect mid century modern, and i spend too much time educating him about lamps. he doesn’t care. i hate can…

this apartment is everything. my life needs more mauve in it. unsolicited advice: try rugsusa.com for some pretty spectacular inexpensive rug stuffs.

yay! congrats! also has lindy always looked this much like kirsten dunst? off topic but feels relevant, probably isn’t. yay! books!

you said what i said with WAY fewer words. please offer classes in brevity for me. i pay in lengthy explanations and wine.

thank you. :) my life is spectacular, even with its flaws, because i made choices. :) but my guilt ate me alive when i needed help, and did not ask for it in some cases until it was almost too late. we rise from ashes, though, so letting her know that she is the opposite of a burden on you will be worth very much…

i’m not trying to pile on, here, because you’ve been getting a lot of great advice on this issue. if she’s living with someone who’s actively brainwashing her, he’s probably telling her that her family is sick of “her” drama in an effort to further isolate and alienate her, so just offering to help might not visibly…

was her sister much older looking than she was? i may have confused the familial role - also, i’m certain he’s done more than one of these shameful episodes. can’t he just give away bees, like oprah

my husband says this to me all the time. i’m like, baby, i watch snapped all day to show you how i WON’T kill you. those bitches all got caught!

agree! “camping” for us involves 20-person lois, which has two rooms, a generator to charge our shit and blow up our air mattress, 100000000 bottles of wine and vodka, and the ultimate decision to just not go do any of that shit because it’s fucking cold and i pay for this mortgage so i’m not fucking leave my house if…

... people name tents “ethel”? mine seems more like a “lois.”

it accumulates in the system over time, and the body has trouble excreting it, resulting in all sorts of issues for some people. if you google, i’m sure you’ll find all this information as well. happy new year!

you are very kind, thank you. :) and i’m sorry you’ve dealt with selfish people, it’s so unnecessary, and i hope you’re ok.

i’m not cut off, per se, so much as set aside. he is a gruff, giant, northern man who isn’t “changing” anytime soon. but you’re right, we’re the ones who pay the price for his lack of…

same! side note - adderall (really any amphetamine) can also cause a total body candida overgrowth, presenting in small welts and lesions that can resemble acne, but are not, therefore react poorly to common acne treatments, resulting in these types of sores which scab over, itch, and get picked at, prolonging the…

agreed. i remember at the end, when she admitted she hadn’t been pregnant, the way her mother’s jaw dropped and eyes lit up with “I KNEW IT YOU DRAMA QUEEN” - such a smug, awful way to treat someone, much less your own child. poor girl.

that’s so sweet, many thanks. :) they do have one, and a team of other love. they seem happily insane.
