I’m seven years older than my husband and I felt the same “should I really be dating this guy?” when we first got together, but obviously it worked out! Just have fun and see where it goes.

My most recent ex was ten years younger than me. Most of the time, it wasn’t a big deal, but yeah, there were certain times that it came up. The biggest help for us was making sure we were constantly talking about things, particularly life plans and any changes to them. With the extra years, you’ve probably had a…

Love SNS? Ever wish it was available 24/7? A long long time ago, jezebel (and all the gawker blogs) had an openthread that was always available for just general chatting. This was back in the days when the comments were actually moderated. It was just a scrolling page of comments, nothing fancy. Jezebel’s was called Gr…

I always liked on The 100 the cast using some variation of “float you” or “go float yourself,” referring to the punishment on the arc of being expelled from the airlock to die in space (which they had all been sentenced to, when they turned 18). It sounds kind of innocuous but the cast really sold it.

For all of BSG’s many flaws, I find “frak” endures.

Yes! I’ve always thought Jensen Ackles would be a perfect super hero.

I really, really hope that, in particular, Jensen gets a good role after this. He’s not the greatest actor in the world but he’s got great comedic timing and damnit, I just love the dude. He deserves continued success.

Yeah, most overweight people wouldn’t know that they’re overweight and that’s unhealthy without people, especially strangers, stopping them on the street and telling them they need to lose weight. And of course we all know how incredibly easy it is to lose weight. If you don’t harass people, how will they ever change?

And blepping, tyvm.

That is awesome about the appointments! Was it weird or cool or both?

As for firsts, not to bring the mood down, but I stood up to my emotionally abusive partner and, for the first real time, didn’t back down. It’s not boding well between us (he escalated the situation, started pulling random things into the…

This is my ginger cat contribution:

I, too, have a large orange feline. Or at least I assume he’s a cat since all he ever does is sleep. I’m going to be quite upset with the breeder if I find out otherwise.

haha omg! Well, he is Canadian. What Canadian takes their eyes off of a hockey game?

When you’re invited to watch hockey and discover he meant tonsil hockey...

I started cardiac rehab this past Wednesday! I go 3x/week for twelve weeks, so it’s going to be some time before I get back to work. The therapist who’s been assisting me told me that last year, he had a patient, my age, who had the same thing as me, viral cardio myopathy, hers caused by a common cold. And her heart…

Shelter Cat Update!

I used to work in a government subsidy program that paid for child care for needy families. I had an 86 year old client who was caring for her 3 grandchildren ages 5-10 in my caseload. She missed an appointment and I had to initiate a termination of her case. She didn’t get in contact until the day after her case…

Ayn Rand Humpers might be the name of the band playing at CPAC tonight.
