Thank you. I am really excited for someday when I can be happy that it was a good relationship that just ended, but you’re right that it really hurts right now. It’s been an awful, busy week devoid of things that make my heart happy, but I’m going to natural history museum and a ghost tour today, so those should be…

Thanks for the advice — I’m already having problems with the social media thing, which feels especially bad because I don’t even ever use my social media otherwise. I’ll have to figure something out.

Thanks for the advice! It’s really reassuring to know that it’s okay to break up with someone you’re still in love with, because it made me feel really guilty.

Thank you so much for your advice! I’m from Oklahoma originally, but I’m in Colorado right now, so I probably can’t make it to any shows in Texas!

Don’t be fooled — rhey also like to try to chew on the things I’m reading and writing, which is far less helpful!

It’s amazing how kittens grow — this picture is about a week old and they’re already so much more proportionate to their paws!

Thank you for your kind wishes and your story. It is really interesting to finally find work and a place that I care about enough to be flexible with relationships for. I hope your move goes well!

Thanks so much. Things are tricky right now even though I know they’ll eventually get better!

Thanks form sharing - liks you, I know I don’t want to marry this guy even though he’s great. It’s just good to know that it’should not horrible or even rare to back out on a relstionship with some great person.

Thank you for replying! It seems like my situation is similar to yours, and while it’s really great to know that yours turned out for the best, it’s also reassuring to know that you also had a hard time. Thank you again, because your reply really was super helful. Those kittens have been cuddled on your behalf!

Oh man, I broke up with my boyfriend of more than three years on Monday. He’s in med school and I’m in grad school in different cities and the difficulty of maintaining our relationship from afar was making me really, really sad. I felt like the only conversations we could have were “I love you,” and, “How are you?…

I fly Southwest, who are very nice in my experience! I used to fly Frontier, which was cheap enough to justify basically any customer service issues, but they stopped servicing my airport. :(

It’s sooooo good! As fascinating as the H.H. Holmes parts were, I loved reading about the fair itself even more. Has anyone read his new one about the Lusitania?

I had a very similar situation flying O’Hare to LaGuardia, but with United. We were just given tickets for a flight to Newark two days later and were shuffled from waitlist to waitlist for fifteen hours as we tried to get on an earlier flight (and we met people who had been waiting in a similar situation for more than…

Don’t settle for those other pinecones. Our competitors’ pinecones will make you pinegroan! [shot of woman throwing up her hands in desperation while shaking her head at a pinecone sitting on a kitchen counter]

Peddler of genuine Colorado leaves here. I’ll match your price for top-quality mountain leaves BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE! Included with your purchase will be not one BUT TWO Rocky Mountain pincecones!!!!!!! Act now while supplies last!!!!!!

You are such a delight around these parts of the internet, and I hope we can do our best to be a delight to you after such sucky news. You’re in my prayers and I’ve crossed all my fingers for you as a bonus.

This is belated, but Sqarr, you are a glorious creature! This is such a wonderful and kind thing.

OMG I helped with that (just by liking the Kodiak Wal-Mart, but still)! I’ve collaborated with @Fart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always felt like a Ravenclaw, but Pottermore put me in Gryffindor. J wish I was more Slytherin-y, though, because I have very little ambition and it has already been a problem in grad school, plus also green is my favorite color to wear!
