It’s obvious she has been fighting for her own dignity privately in vain. The fact that she has to leverage her privacy for her own freedom by publicly talking about the contents of her uterus is so utterly wrong.

Goodness, that’s a soggy doggie!

Shelter Cat Update!

So our trip to Azuero Peninsula next week is cancelled. The Health Minister ordered that instead of just stopping at the police checkpoints on the road leaving and coming back into my province, every person in every car has to get Covid tested at the checkpoints. And of course wait at the checkpoints for the results.…

Blammo! I actually found the picture!

Those Aliums are heavenly and I made a banana bread which is the most adventurous thing I’ve produced in what feels like nine thousand years

Speaking of croissants, what’s everyone been cooking and/or baking lately? I haven’t really made anything note worthy this week, it’s been mostly a very sad week with putting my kitty to sleep. If anyone has suggestions for what to do with rhubarb though, I’d love to hear them! I like when a recipe includes poaching…

the starbucks by my work has stopped selling their almond croissant and I am LIVID about it!!

They have a quarantine bubble of expats who live along the beach, about 15 people, many of whom play musical instruments. There was a spontaneous…

I’m reviving Pissing Contest with a new topic every week.

Today is 100 days since I’ve had a drink and 100 days of doing yoga and meditation daily. I’ve been on a roller coaster of Big Feelings for 100 days, and I’m learning so much about myself and the world around me. I’ve never stuck to anything for this long in my entire life.

That is fantastic news about your husband!!! Yayyy!!!! We’re still waiting on our vaccines here—most of the people we know in their 70s, and everyone we know in their 80s, is done, and healthcare workers and the like, but the rollout is so very slow. They’re trying to dump some Astra-Zeneca right now, but it’s only…

Earlier this week, I misplaced my car’s key fob and cried about it.

My husband found an appointment for a vaccine yesterday, for today! I thought, alright, this is my time to shine! I work in healthcare, and I know the ins and outs of the system, I’m going to find him an appointment! I helped my mom! Nope. He just hit refresh at the right time. Oh well, the important thing is him…

After reading the other comments, I didn’t realize that thin hair shouldn’t be long was a thing. I had thick, beautiful hair when I was a kid and always had it long just as long I don’t get gum stuck on it. Plus, my dad would get mad when my mom would take us to have our hair cut short. My poor little sister had a…

Dear fucking lord. I am so sorry. I’m replying to you because I want to somehow come through the screen and punch your sister, but also I want to reply to everyone in this thread, because there is just so much meanness and selfishness here that so many of you have endured.
