I now have to downgrade the level of crazy I attribute to my family. They are clearly nuts but not THIS nuts.

You’re on a watch list? For real? For calling your representative?

Well. I’m crying. In the good way for the first time in 10 days. In a world gone mad....THIS is who we must be, with love in our hearts.

6/10. Needs more smugness.

2000 word dissertation? Is that a typo? 200 pages? 200,000 words? 2000 words is like 8 pages.

Best. Menu. Ever.

Heartbreaking. Thank you for celebrating her exuberance as well as adressing the tragedy of addiction.

Nurse Practitioner. Where I live nurse practitioners can practice independently. Mine specializes in metabolic and weight issues. Was recommended by a friend who was very rustrated with post hysterectomy weight gain and hormonal issues. Her doctor’s approach was (of course) eat less, exercise more, and we’ll see where…

1000 mg metformin twice daily. I go for a blood sugar retest soon and that may get lowered. A low dose of a thyroid med. B12 shots weekly. Vitamin D supplements 2x a day. And bioidentical hormones 2x daily. Not just birth control pills which I guess used to be the therapy. I have too much testosterone because. But my…

Not for all. I was hiking 20+ miles a week and doing Pilates as well. I changed my diet to low fat, low carb. I don’t use sugar. I don’t use artificial sweetener other than stevia. I don’t drink soda. And I eliminated alcohol. I was still steadily gaining weight.

I’m overweight and OLD. 5'10". Size 16. Age 50. It’s a running joke with my friends that the guys who express interest in me are typically way younger and ridiculously attractive. I have discovered that this attraction is based on coming across as self confident, happy, and having an open and welcoming personality. I…

The phrase ‘ The difference is’ is really bothering me in the text that accompanied the image. Difference from what? From all of ‘us’ who are not willing to fight the scourge of heroin?

I am rethinking my entire life. I LIKE doing things. I think all my normal friends are drawing straws to see who has to leave their sofas and do stuff with me.

I love that sofa. I would put that in my living room right now. Unironically. I’m not sure what that says about me. I’m equally not sure I CARE what it says about me.

Oh my god. This. I am not a millenial. I’ve been in a technology related job for more than 20 years. This phrase is one of many women use or are encouraged to use in order to come across a collaborative and agreeable versus assertive, aggresive and/or bitchy. I try not to use it as much as possible but I know I do…

Sniveling Privilegewank. Is. The. Best. Phrase. Ever.

That’s pretty much what I envisioned. Here, eat this green mush :)

If someone gave it to me, I’d totally try it. But I’d be deeply suspicious. Yet willing to admit I liked it if I did.

Avocado pudding sounds utterly vile.

Why do you actually care enough to be irritated by how other people choose to go about their adult activities? This article reminds me of those stupid lists about what not to wear if you are over 30 or 40. Why the fuck would anyone give a shit what I wear or how I describe my life and accomplishments? Pretty much I…
