I am so enjoying this whole thread. My mother wants to retire to either Arizona or Florida so I’ve been thinking about all this type of stuff a lot lately. (noted that St Pete is more than tolerable!)

Are you in Minneapolis or St Paul?

Next year will be year 20 for me in Minneapolis and I have to say that it is much MUCH more progressive than the southern-ish place I am from, which is a great thing. However, the seemingly non stop freeze/snow/ice/wind (today sucks! Tried to go to dog park just now and the freezing wind literally blew me over) and…

Totally what you just said! Witnessed this happening several times at my box (hee hee box).

I somewhat recently found out that my boyfriend has a history of visiting and having relationships with prostitutes. Streetwalkers. Or sex workers, whatever the correct words are. He’s been busted at least twice in the last 20 years, his ex wife left him because of it and he claims that he doesn’t do it anymore. I…

As I was reading this I thought numerous times “this guy is going to get ripped apart in the comments...”

Feels!

This is my opinion from my own life experiences and observations: I spent years resenting the crap out of my ex and watching many acquaintances resenting their partners for these same reasons. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn’t try to change his behavior or talk talk talk to him about it as much as I did. I…

I ran a spotlight for “fun" the band and the only thing I remember about them is the lead singers pants.

Seriously! I am practically a hermit kinda and I hear his name QUITE often. Why should I care about this seemingly non interesting person....

Virgo listening over here!

The boyfriends response is a red flag. I could say a lot more but I think that is enough.

This movie came out the year I moved to Minneapolis. Yes! Everyone here was mad saying they don’t talk that way (we dooon’t taalk that way gosh darn it.!), everyone here does talk this way. I am in Tropical Paradise with my bf this week and yesterday someone asked him if he was from Minnesota, and that they recognized…

Does it get any better than this?

Yes, absolutely.

This is very, very good. I admire your ability to express yourself so calmly and at the same time so bluntly. Good luck to you with this.

I have terrible VERY bad PMS and the only thing that has helped is Metagenics Fem Premenstrual. I’m not a shill for them, this has seriously worked most of the time. That and Klonapin. And beer.

So sorry to hear this.

I’ve seen it ruin several people’s lives. Also, I am from rural Missouri so I have zero sense of humor about Meth. Save yourself the trouble and go get some real nice weed and a strong coffee and call it a day.

This!
