Is there anyone you know who brings out the absolute WORST in you? Someone who sets your teeth on edge, give you low level anxiety and you want to avoid like the plague but are unable to due to proximity, etc? How do you deal with them?

Okay, here’s where I chime in with a real-life Kim Catrall story featuring my Dad: so, for awhile Dad was a mapper in the Hamptons on Long Island, and has been to many celebrity homes. He’s also a super-unimpressed dude, and had mostly neutral to negative things to say about them, but he LOVED Kim. He had no idea who…

A thread last night ended up turning into a long conversation about the men commenters of Jez. And without being quite sure what to say or how to say it, and definitely without meaning to speak for anyone else, here goes:

I think that the thing about introverts is that we are cautious to an extreme in social situations about showing who we are. We are afraid to like what we like and to feel what we feel around people who might judge us for it, becaude we have known plenty of situations that have ended that way.

Logical Harmony maintains a pretty comprehensive list of brands that are cruelty free.

That sucks! And your family sound like assholes for joking about it.

Oh hi.

Beauty and concert thread

I never post on SNS because I’m perma-grey but I’m feeling good and I want to share.

Hey friends! I’m having a woe-is-me night where I’m feeling lonely and disconnected. I moved to a new town last year and still only have one friend other than my partner. Just saw a photo of a bunch of my friends from my previous city all at the beach together and now I’m feeling left out. Any words of advice for how…

Cackling at him trying to be a gentleman. Unpopular opinion: Joss is a hypocritical cheating asshole, but I think it’s dumb to publicly reveal his cheating to the press (instead of simply exposing his ass to close friends when they ask what went wrong) if they have youngish children who will have to deal with…

It is a bummer. There are a lot of commenters I miss seeing. Nothing against the newer commenters- they’re great!- but.... :(

Thank you! That is helpful and nice to know others feel the same (I’m not crazy!) I’ve never thought about the transplant/native factor, but that makes total sense. Yes, I’ll keep trying! I get frustrated, but have to stay positive and look at the good that comes out of it no matter what.

I got a new kitten this week. She is adorable. However I also have a two year old male cat. They’re not getting on. Any suggestions?

Maybe too late to post but I had a pretty good mediation session with my soon to be ex husband this week. We tackled child custody and $. I’m feeling like 75% ok. It still randomly hits me though like he threw away our whole life with no warning. Because he reconnected with a college friend. I have trouble…

I got a Renaissance style portrait of my cat. But I have so much art already I will have to take something down (I even have something hanging in the closet).

Tell Me Something GOOOOOOOOOOOD, Tell me that you like it!!!!

For me, my parents were really conservative and I was young, so the thought of their youngest daughter living in sin didn’t sit well with them. So, fine, we got married, but for me it’s made a difference. When we had our first major crisis (as in, I’m not sure I wanna do this anymore) the fact that we said we’d be…

Beauty thread!

Posted this upthread but here it is again, just for you:
