Perhaps Orange Julius?

Oh God. I admire the moxie, but I can’t handle watching awkwardness on that epic a scale long enough to watch the clip. Colbert truly is made of iron. Also, never noticed the resemblance to Stanley Tucci before.

i’m really tired of hearing abusers who are veterans blame their violent behavior on PTSD. i have PTSD and as much as it haunts me i’ve always controlled myself and never get violent in situations because, you know, violence against women/anyone else isn’t going to solve my problems????? same thing goes for…

“Teach your children America’s foundation built on the rule of law; ensure they understand consequences for their actions, despite our temporary leaders facing no such thing.”

I really miss The IT Crowd, and wish he was in more stuff!

I’m tired of people, especially celebrities with a huge platform, complaining that people were outraged about a gorilla being shot and killed, and drawing a comparison to the epidemic of black men and women being killed by police officers.

Thanks for sharing your experiences- it’s encouraging to know other people have gone through similar experiences. Yeah, I thought it would be easier to find friends who are also ex-pats or Americans living here, but in my classes I really wanted to make friends here to be more “integrated” but it was really…

That sounds super awful... You may want to check your legal rights in your state. You could at least fight the fact that you got a notice on 7/1 that was backdated to 6/26. The law should at least require that you get 30 full days.

This week I had two firsts:

I’m on month four of job-searching. Month one of really intense, searching, and it’s so demoralizing. So many positions I’m completely qualified for and nothing. My friend told me a recent position at her work received TWO THOUSAND applications. How the fuck do you compete with that?

Ugh. I’m a graduate student going into my final year of my PhD. My partner and I have been renting a house for the past four years and get on great with our landlord. We signed a two year lease originally but after that it has been month to month. Yesterday we got an eviction notice. We have until the 31st to be out.

It’s been an amazing week. Back when kidlet graduated, I emailed the ex-future-Mr-Dangerous to let him know about it, as he’d been the closest thing to a dad kidlet had. (He still holds the title for the best line ever when told ‘You’re not my dad!’ by a bratty teenager: ‘Someone has to be’). He took on the job of…

I am terribly pissy today. I took vacation time for the first time ever at my current job, to use a long holiday weekend to straighten up and get my life in order before Mr. Werner and I make some major lifestyle and household changes. Our house is a pigpen, due to being overwhelmed with needy family members.

Hello friends! Not sure if this will get seen as I am late to SNS today. I’ve been in the kitchen cooking up a storm. Tomorrow is my Dad’s birthday and so I have made him two kinds of ice cream (peach and blueberry) and biscotti. I’m also in the process of making S’Mores Cupcakes for the 4th.

Hello everyone!!!! We had an election here in Australia and Malcolm Turnbull is still prime minister but we will most likely have a hung parliament. I have been doing heaps of volunteering for the Greens and working so hard and we didn’t do quite as well as hoped. In my own electorate we are only up 0.3. I did days of…

I’m 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My baby girl has decended into my pelvis and now has the hiccups... oh my god, the vaginal area pain is real REAL OWWWWWW OWWWWW get baby out of me -so over being pregnant :(

That’s what I figured, but my inner smartass just couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

I got a new job (and a promotion)! Finally! and I only have 4 more days at the old one, which is just me tying up loose ends because my boss is on vacay.

How decadent are we talking here, like just driving a pointlessly ostentatious car, or full-on reclining on a couch, being fed grapes by topless serving girls while a child fans them with a palm frond?

I’ve had a legit crappy week but thanks to twinja & MargieBonz I am wearing multiple pieces of rhinestone jewelry over pjs as I finish up my work. As she said, bits and pieces fancy as hell.
