I did point out this was a direct result of Trumpcare and old white men deciding what’s best for the rest of us. She knew about some of the additions to the p.e. policy, but not things like rape or domestic violence. Of which she is a survivor. And I pointed out that her, her husband, and me will all be fucked if…

Out of all my relatives, I only know of two who for sure voted Clinton. Nearly every member of my large extended family voted for Trump, as did my husband’s. A couple of our dearest relatives didn’t bother to vote at all and one asshole wrote in Bernie’s fucking name.

This. This wasn’t like any other election. Trump - by not calculation on his own party because he’s so fucking self unaware and stupid - made this an election where it was a clear case of “How much stupid, evil shit can you stomach and still vote for me?” Like, it’s never been more clear.

I was at a family reunion for my Grandma’s 100th birthday last week and I found out one of my favorite uncles voted for Dump. Or as he put it “not for him but against Hillary.”

Yes! One of my in-laws happens to be a man married to another man - and he voted for Drumpf in a swing state. It enrages me, and also baffles me at how a gay man can vote for someone with Pence as VP?? The point is, I think the cognitive dissonance in his voters is off the charts! The thing I always point to is…

Yeah, I found out that my godmother voted for Trump and it’s just disheartening, because otherwise, she’s such a nice, generous woman. Her reasoning is that she was afraid that a Hillary Clinton presidency would turn the US government into a Castro style communist regime, that Democrats are trying to censor people who…

I feel like this has been a different kind of election. There are political opinions you may or may not agree with. And that is totally fine and fair. And there are values. Deep-seated, “how you view the world”, “how you are going to conduct yourself” values.

No casual dropping in to the house!

I knew I was going to need a C-section, and I’m an older mother as well, so the only person we let visit within a week after the baby was born was my sister-in-law, who is one of those endlessly organized women who had two kids at that time, one eight, and one six years old. She remembered how to do all of this…

“It’s the first film DC has gotten right, mainly because Zack Snyder isn’t directing it.”

I am home.

I’m not annoyed with all the time by any means, and I don’t find his overall personality annoying (I should have been clearer about that in my original comment). But he is super super sensitive and that means that often when we argue it often just devolves into him being like “Oh I get it, you just HATE ME” which…

It’s normal for your partner to have certain traits that annoy you especially as you’re not carbon copies of each other and he’s not exactly like you. That’s one thing. But being annoyed all the time is not normal, no. Married life has some extremely sucky periods (and babies fucking ruin it) so if you have to go…

Are you crazy? No. You’re a woman who had the audacity to go out in public and enter the sight line of a creeper. Is there a woman who works at the gym you can confide in? Because guys are very likely to not understand, but women will know what you mean by tone of voice/look.

No, you are not crazy; the guy is a creep. I really hope he gets the hint and backs off. Also it sucks that you feel threatened at your own gym but I would try to go with a friend until he backs off.

Listen to your intuition. Ask to speak with management, tell them he was being creepy and to just keep tabs on him in case he does this with other women, and that you’re considering leaving the gym for your own safety. I personally would switch gyms, because I’m paranoid and don’t want to wait and see if things…

Oh nice, I might have to go this route, good call on the muting that’s a must do

Hard pass.

Craft Thread!

Yeah, hard no. That’s all very strange behavior - trying to sell you something you don’t yet need, the bloody picture, and above all the call at night. I’ve been in dental treatment forever, have used two different practices, and that is NOT standard operating procedure. Checking in with the patient is just not done,…
