My mom and dad divorced when I was 16, and she was remarried within a year. We all thought she was crazy, but 16 years later, she and my stepdad are very much in love and are pretty much the cutest couple ever.

Being a registered member of the perpetually single club I don’t have helpful anecdotes, I do have every confidence that you’ll find your feet and kick your prefered brand of ass.

I had a preventative mastectomy last Tuesday. I had a few great days of recovery, but it seems like I’ve backslid into the pain zone again. Also still weirded out every time I look in a mirror, which I expect will last for a while. I’m getting reconstruction done, and with the saline that was injected into my tissue…

Open thread! Missed SNS due to starting to drink at 11 am and passing out by 7. Go me!

I told my husband yesterday that I want to separate. We dated for four years. Our five year wedding anniversary is in less than a month, so that’s 9 years of history together (we started dating in our teens). He’s the only guy I’ve ever slept with, kissed, etc. etc. I feel an exhilarating mixture of guilt, terror, and…

I have vibrators in my living room.

How I feel when everyone seems to be getting laid but me:

Meh. Who cares really? The more interesting question is: how much are you masturbating? I always found masturbation to be more enjoyable than sex. Whatever.

Being familiar with NCAA marching bands, I can say with that was absolutely not an accident.

I HATE IT. Sorry to shout but I really do.

Nope. Definitely not. Also, the giant blank space to the left is killing me.

Sorry to bring the heavy down on you guys, but I gotta get this out there. My father is currently dying of lung cancer. As in literally in the process of dying, while I type this in the next room. He was only diagnosed a little over a month ago, but he has lived with Progressive MS for the past 40 years, and had…

Kitten gifs please! Today, my sweet, old doggie lost her battle with cancer. She’s been my constant companion for thirteen years. We went through college, my first job, moving across the country (twice), and getting married. She’s been with me every step of the way, and I already miss her so much.

I have to go out in an hr and my hair is still wet but here I am on this site, bc priorities but anyhoo

Can we talk about this font? I know this is part of the new, nicer GM, but I feel like I’m looking at a cheerleader’s pep rally poster. Am I alone?

question about Socializing When Single:

I have no suggestions I just wanted to post this gif.

I talked a couple weeks ago about my weight loss (92 pounds now... huzzah!) but I also lost something else just last week: my virginity. I’m 31 and had been practicing abstinence. I wasn’t saving myself and didn’t have any hang ups about sex apart from some body image issues, I just wasn’t interested in casual sex and…

First week back to school. It went okay. I dyed my hair almost completely magenta before I started back to work. One of the little sixth grade boys came up to me after recess and tells me, “Ms Deerlady, I like the way your hair looks when you stand in Ms R’s doorway to get (students). The light reflecting off your…

It came out too dark! Breakfast is RUINED!
