I’m so sorry, sweetheart, about your terminal cancer diagnosis and the added pain of seeing your furbaby under stress like that. :( Sending good vibes and peaceful thoughts to both of you. <3

I’m sorry for the hard time you are going through and that your mom is adding to your stress. I have a “challenging” relationship with my mom, so I get it. Good for you that you recognize that what your mom is saying is BS. Wishing you all the best ... stay strong and keep trusting yourself.

Very cool. :) As a lifelong Sesame Street/Muppets fan, I’m excited for you!!

This is the thing that’s killing me ... men thinking this is only a Hollywood thing, or only a thing that happens in a few industries - NO. It’s EVERYWHERE. Everywhere. :(

I could not hate that book more.

Anyone have any advice on politely dealing with *endless* advice like this from well-meaning friends and relatives? I have a chronic illness, and I swear almost daily a coworker, friend or relative has a new cure to tell me about. I’m so appreciative of the love and concern, but honestly my patience is wearing thin. :/

Yeah, I was determined not to watch this season, but I’m tempted just to see more Dean. :D

I totally wanted Eric’s aunt for *my very own aunt* — can you have an adoptive aunt??

Congrats!!! :)

I had a cat for 5 years who had no interest in plants at all. All animals are different!

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing the irrational pool anger story because it made me laugh! :) Especially the bit about not owning the YMCA. Having a headachy, depressed day in PJs here ... it’s funny how a small bit of humor can make such a difference when you’re feeling down.

Sending loving thoughts to your aunt and to you and everyone else who cared about her.

That’s so wonderful! I bet it will be a really precious memory for them as they get older.

Oh my god. I rented that movie and had no idea what was coming. I don’t think i have ever cried so hard watching a movie. Eeesh.

Men suck. :( I’m sorry.

Much sympathy ... I also spent most of today on the sofa recovering from a rough week ... then went out for a big dinner that I am going to be paying for big time, in terms of having to watch every single bite that goes in my mouth. It’s a constant roller coaster for me of doing Weight Watchers, losing weight, burning…

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Sending hugs.

I know it’s embarrassing to you now, but it sounds to me like your dad loves you and cherishes you, and that’s a wonderful thing. My dad died a few years ago, and I would give anything to have him tell some stranger at a restaurant that I’m his baby. :)

Could your family adopt me?? :D

Sending sympathetic hugs. I’m 44 and have been single waaaay longer than 1.75 years, and am not feeling hopeful of changing my status anytime soon. My life could be way worse, but ...
