I don’t think this is true as a rule. I think sometimes it gets harder (no pun intended), and sometimes it gets easier. My first sex partner ever was a pretty selfish lover (not because of inexperience, but because of ego.) It only got worse as the years passed. He was terrible, and didn’t want to talk about it…

Oh God, I feel for you. I have misophonia (I mean, self-diagnosed), so loud noise really bothers me. Especially bass. Ugh, the worst! And I’ve listened to all your music samples - it sounds like a nightmare. I’ve had several unpleasant experiences with noisy neighbors in my lifetime. We used to have neighbors who…

This will probably be a way-too-simple answer from a childless person, but if you’re wondering how she’ll handle a long flight, the only way to find out is to take her on a long flight, you know? And why not THIS flight, with an adventure in France at the other end? You’ll learn things about your daughter on the…

I’ve traveled A LOT, and half that time, I did it by myself. And it wasn’t for work, it was all for leisure (so I wasn’t “safely” meeting co-workers at my destinations, either. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) But the point is, it’s amazing. And I wouldn’t worry about awkwardly being alone in situations…

OMG I just wrote a response above that was very similar to this. Yes yes to living a content, mediocre life and not comparing yourself to others. Yes to this entire comment.

I’ve been thinking a LOT about this lately (and when I say “lately”, I’m talking heavy rumination on and off for about 5 years). Anyhow, an idea has formed and keeps taking shape, but it’s this: our current culture (especially the last 20 years, i.e. the internet/tabloid years) is obsessed with attainment. I’m not…

OMG this is HUGE! Congrats to you! I was also laid off from a job with a horrible, super yelling boss (he was similar to Kevin Spacey in Horrible Bosses.) Cheers to you loving your new job. I’m looking to love my next job too!

Huge accomplishment, congrats on pushing yourself out of your comfort zone - I know how hard it is. BIG congrats!

Huge congrats! You’re living my dream right now, and I hope to follow in your footsteps soon (i.e. finding a great new job that I enjoy that I’ll like a hell of a lot more than what I’ve been doing.)

Yes it does. It’s a huge fucking project! Way to go!

I’m seriously impressed with this and proud of you, even though I don’t know you. It takes some big balls to stand up for yourself at work, especially if you’re in a toxic situation. I was the breadwinner in my family and during the recession/depression (what are we calling the post-2008 housing bubble crash?), and…

HUGE congratulations, and that dinner sounds yummy!! Plus, I am in love with your user name. Seriously, huge congrats. Grad school is a slog, and getting through it is damn near Herculean. Way to GOooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Oh, also, the real Olivia De Havilland is beautiful, but her sister and mortal enemy, Joan Fontaine, was stunning on screen. Not in a Catherine Zeta Jones way, but still, you can’t take your eyes off her in a scene - she’s very elegant and graceful, which kind of turns her beauty up several notches.

Damn, no, I’ll have to get on that, stat. I’ve been saving it for when there’s nothing on and I’ve blazed through all my Netflix series.

I’ve seen it, with a young Rob Lowe, but I have absolutely no memory of my opinion of it. Did I like it? Did I hate it? I don’t remember! About a year ago I re-watched some popular-at-the-time 80's movies (including Sure Thing, with Daphne Zuniga), and some of them held up, and some of them were crap. Sometimes I…

That’s not hard for me to believe - I think the audience for Virtuosity and Runaway would be the same. Which is why I’m stunned I missed Virtuosity! And yes, Cynthia Rhodes. She seemed like a big deal in the 80's (this and Dirty Dancing etc.) and I always wonder why she disappeared (from anything mainstream).

I know the list of movies in the comments are supposed to deter us from those films, but is anybody else like me, suddenly writing down movies they now must see?? I’m amped! Soooooo many picture shows to watch!

I’m older than you and I told my boyfriend at the time that I felt like I had PTSD from that opening 20 minutes. Brutal. Absolute horror. I can’t believe you saw it when you were 15. How traumatic! How did you get in to this R movie??

lol I’m actually reading many of the replies, and someone else mentioned this movie above. So it has not been forgotten by many! I can’t believe I haven’t seen it. It’s everything I like!

Such a good movie! And Jake was riveting in it. Creepy, but riveting.
