Lol, this is why I didn’t hyphenate my last name when I got married. If you already have a hyphenated first name, it’s just too much (IMO, and I realize this is probably the name her parents gave her, so not her fault). The easy solve is you just have two last names, with no hyphen. It’s still a mouthful and rarely…

Exactly! Now that I think about it, I think it’s because a good portion of the Barbies we had were given as gifts and most people probably never think that we would have wanted a Ken, so the only ones we had were the ones we picked out if our parents brought us shopping and let us get a toy. Once my nieces get old…

Yeah, at least from what I remember in the early 90s, they did have different names for various ethnicities. Like, I think the one you were describing you had might have been Teresa (kinda auburn hair, supposed to be ~latina~). Then Kira was Asian and Christie was Black. At least those were the ones I had, lol. I was…

I mean, this is all that really needs to be said. In response to any given thing, every single day.

I mean, my mother´s response was “we´ll never speak of this again.” Sooooo. Not unbelievable to me at all. A lot of people care more about not rocking the boat than doing what is right, but hard

Hmm, probably more like the Confederate flag, but otherwise yes. 

this is the best. i love it

much less, no cow on the ice

I have no idea weather or not the alleged victim in this case did or not, but I know from experience that the police can literally not give a shit in cases like this. I was groped/assaulted in a similar manner on the 6 train in NYC and the police were annoyed with me for reporting it and I basically had to twist their…

are you fucking kidding? I thought he was near my parents’ age, and I’m 33 😳

Yeah.... I never knew whether these types were attracted to the extreme thinness or to the inherent vulnerability of eating disorder sufferers.

There is a house in the next town over from where I live that has had a blond “Trump” mannequin slumped against a tree in their front yard since Nov 2016. It’s been dressed in a genuine DOC orange jumpsuit for the past year and looking increasingly battered and weathered. It makes me smile every time I drive by. I…

I didn’t think you were arguing “the validity of [my] marriage.” I’m just saying, there is no reason to automatically assume that Ariana is going to have to take on the role of babysitter or mother to Pete just because he has BPD.

Seriously. Just goes to show how much BPD is stigmatized that even on a board that is overwhelmingly very positive and sympathetic toward mental illness you have an inordinate amount of people spewing all sorts of stereotypical bullshit about suffers. The other ironic thing is that there are a lot of us saying, hey I…

Yes, the waist/bodice are not the same at all. Sounds like she’s just jeally that she was not picked if Meghan was going for the minimalist look.

Except maybe Davidson is not looking for/does not need to be “saved.” Speaking as someone with BPD (who is happily married, I might add), there is a difference between having someone who loves you and is a support for you as you navigate your own healing process and making that person “save” you. Sounds like Pete is…

So what if he is still being treated for it? Doesn’t mean he can’t have a perfectly good relationship. It’s something that he has to (and is) deal with, but it doesn’t make him incapable of having a perfectly healthy relationship.

😰

I did try that, but it still tended to dry me out. But, like I said, during the summer it worked for me and I really liked it. I still have it and will start using it again if it ever stops fucking snowing...*glares out the window*

good to know
