You didn’t highjack my thing at all. As much as I don’t want anyone else to be feeling the way I am feeling, I am glad that since others do, some are willing to say so. I feel oddly comforted.

As for your roommate. Man I have BEEN THERE. My twenties was littered with that situation. One of the hardest parts of that…

I guess, apparently it does. I think I’m resisting this because my father mostly dates white women and now I have to wrestle with the fact that my black father, who fought tooth and nail for every scrap he’s gotten, is a racist. That’s going to take some getting used to. I’m not arguing with you, I’m just saying…

I’m in a similar situation so I’m hoping people have good advice. I’m also doing a lot of power walking.

I am experiencing a deep depression. I can feel it everywhere. I am struggling to not sleep all day. I made a decision to change my life recently. I moved from a tough town to a beautiful one, I’m with family that really cares about me, and I ended a dangerous (not physically) relationship. And I am miserable. I am 34…

Well we certainly agree on that. Thanks for the dialogue.

I totally agree with you. I guess my point is that theres having a type and there’s the refusal to date someone. The latter is obviously and blatantly racist, the former... I guess I’m just not convinced. As a black woman (you may be one too, I don’t know) I think I am also relating particularly to the desire…

I disagree. I think it makes you sheltered and kind of a dbag but does not fit the definition of “the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.” In the sense that I don’t think…

Agreed. And I could totally be pulling this out of my ass, but didn’t I read somewhere that Scandal was the first show fronted by a black woman (as in, the sole lead) since Julia? So by opportunities she means 2 opportunities in 50 years.

I agree. Bill Cosby is a monster. There is no doubt about it. He’s an effing evil rapist monster. That said, he was a hero to many, and there is a mourning that goes along with the loss of that. So I can’t imagine growing up with him as a father figure and coming to terms with this. Plus it’s marred MJW’s entire…

Cool folks seem to like him. I’m a huge Michaela Watkins fan and they’re pals, so I kind of trust him. D-bag on camera doesn’t always mean D-bag in life. In fact, all to often it’s the inverse that creates the problem.

I just got goosebumps reading the words “Our partners in peace”. BAH. CJ for life.

As someone whose mother killed herself and mentioned being a “bad mother” in her suicide note, there is a fair amount truth to this (should be stated my mothers children were grown when she did the deed, still not better off).

I’m so glad that you are being honest with how you feel. I have no advice. I am not a mother and desperately want to be one. But I am FED UP with all of the shit we tell women about motherhood. All of the nonsense and lies that women are made to feel that they are less of a woman when they have children, but also…

Sorry, what’s wrong with Nick Kroll? I have a major crush on him and the way she speaks about him is lovely.

I baste. But I’m from Denver where we are constantly making adjustments to our cooking to keep things from drying out.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my Mom’s death and all I do to commemorate it every year is drink as much chardonnay (as dry as possible) as I can, so you are just getting a head start.
