My BF and I met in a parking lot. My car alarm wouldn't stop going off and he offered to disable it. I took him out for drinks to say thank you. I hadn't realized how rare that sort of interaction actually was.

You know, its a huge company, and its really not such a stellar place to work, environment-wise. High stress. You are lucky to have dodged that bullet, because just the emotional toll of being laid off is extravagantly detrimental.

I am extremely grateful and fortunate to have fallen into this. It's a lot of physical work, but its such a gorgeous way to spend a workday. No complaints. I am so lucky to get this opportunity.

May I just say to you lovely Jezebelles and Jezefellas, that working on a sailboat is about the closest to perfect as it gets? I get paid to be on the ocean, take people to the reef to snorkel, kayak in the mangroves, and watch the sun set over the horizon. I have never been more grateful that Pfizer laid me off last…

...and, sadly, this right here is why the political climate of today is so incredibly sad. I don't mean sad as in boo-hoo-waah, I mean sad as in pathetic and disheartening. You're worried that expressing your support for a particular candidate would bring hurt and trouble to your family. This is NOT how the United…

They can't. Recently a Marine was in the news for being discharged (dishonorably??) for making disparaging remarks about the Commander in Chief. He's appealing, but he's probably going to lose. And his comments were of a similar nature.

I see you too fell into the marathon trap... I complained about it earlier and have still yet to extricate myself. Now I'm onto SVU. Someone needs to cut the cable for me!

? Really, because all of the episodes I've seen concerning her private life involve her out with dudes.

Generally, $30 plus tip. If it's a cut and color, it's $90+

It happened again... I got sucked into a Law and Order marathon. Arg. I haven't left the couch since 9am with the exceptions of feeding myself and my dogs, and letting them out. How does this always happen?

That is precisely my reaction, too! I have been giggling about that particular mental picture for the last three minutes.

I washed everything on my be today too...and then my puppy peed on it. Joys of dog ownership indeed.

That's a thing? I LOVE that idea. Do share— where is this?

Yeah, the social isolation thing is something I'm handling poorly. I'm still fairly new on this island, and don't do much other than work, sleep, and take care of my dogs. So I definitely hear you on the no one to hang with side. I want to be social, but I'm too lazy and busy to make friends.

Boo. You're tough to make it so long. It's really way harder than I thought it would be. "A month? Oh, ok, no biggie." Here is it, only 3 weeks in and I'm losing my mind out of alternating streams of boredom and serious worry. And now this surprise additional 2 months? Boo.

You'll do just fine. Good luck!

I am jealous. Have to work in an hour.

Quite possible: nipple tape. Though it might hurt to remove a whole lot extra due to your pregnancy.

Waaah, you guys I need to whine for a second. Boyfriend is currently on a mission that lasts a whole month, no contact save for weekly email. This week's included the statement that he's being sent away for a school for another month, and has to go straight from that school to his next mission. Three months without…

I thought Emily Deschanel was a vegan? I had no idea her sister was too.
