I was a little worried I was being oversensitive about how people have been reacting to my post... I mean, I'm not exactly new to the Internet and I know how people can be. But I'm glad other people see a little more vitriol here than is necessary because I was a little hurt at how some people just came down hard on…

Thank you! I'm sure it will... I'm just in a funk right now, but I'm already feeling better about it.

I did the same!

I'm not looking for a pissing contest and what you do with your money is none of my business.

You're very kind to say so. My husband I have been through a lot together (our daughter's premature birth is just the tip of the iceberg, and I can't even tell you how grateful I am that she's happy and healthy), and we've managed to get by. I'm just so tired of managing though... I mean, I could go on and on about…

LOL I was actually going for tongue-in-cheek more than sarcastic, but I'd probably do something similar if it didn't involve nudity? :D

I think the majority of people more or less work and save for what they need - and that's where I am. I need a home, a car, etc. and I'm saving up for all of that stuff. I'm doing my best to take care of my financial situation with the money that we earn by working. The people that use fundraisers for things they need…

You sound like a wonderful, giving person - I'm sure the people whose lives you touched are very grateful :)

Well, I'm glad someone here doesn't think I'm a real shit!

It's not even about me being butthurt because I have needs that aren't being met. I mean, yeah, I've got some baggage that really sucks - again, I don't think my sob story matters because I don't really feel like it's anyone's business. There are things I need that I'm working hard for, and I'm not going to get them…

I don't think my comment merited a personal attack, but whatever. At least partially, you're right - I am full of ugliness and I'm carrying some baggage right now. And I'm venting it on the internet, for strangers to judge, without getting into the specifics because my sob story isn't really anyone else's problem.…

The only thing I can think of that might be a valid reason (big "might") is that maybe since there are fewer men, they're in higher demand for patients that would prefer male caretakers?

Nope, sorry, fuck this. As much as I want to be all optimistic and cheery about the fun cuteness of this... I just can't.

*shrug* It's easy to be critical of that particular friend's choices. Personally, I don't think they're a good match...

I looked like hell when I was pregnant. I broke out regularly, my hair didn't change (it's always been super thick)... there was nothing pretty or sexy about my pregnant look. I couldn't find cute maternity clothes because I'm the size of a 14 year old and there isn't a big market for teen mom maternity, apparently.

... I don't get people that cry "transphobic" at the idea of "men" or "women" only stuff. Because if you're trans... you ARE either a man or a woman, you just may or may not look it. A woman should be treated like a lady, and a man should be treated as a man, regardless of what parts they've got. The transsexuals I…

How to hit on girls at the gyme? DON'T

I started to reply to this and wound up rambling. Short answers? Yes. Europe. No.

Oh, I'm so okay with this. I was a faithful reader, but now it's just gotten tedious to finish this series. Bring on the spoilers, this book nerd doesn't give af.

Okay, I'm definitely being sensitive because my parents had a hateful and dysfunctional marriage...
