That’s just my 2 cents.

Yeah it sounds like you need to take some more time for yourself, which is normal. I am of the mind that you should always call and talk to someone because you will regret it less than if you don’t call them. Whether you apologize is up to you but I think at least explaining will be helpful for both of you.

They’re holding up well and being maintained as far as I know. Cheers to “studying”!

Thankfully there have been none in his district or with the company he works for, but nearby in North Dakota there have been accidents. There’s tons of traffic because of the fracking boom. Honestly I think they’re not terribly common, but any time one happens in the country I hear about it. ETA: he drives cargo…

This is the best thing.

That is the weirdest sandwich I’ve ever heard of and now I want one.

Oh man, sending lots of hugs. Spend as much time with her as you can, and allow yourself time to process your emotions. So sorry, hang in there.

Just sittin at home drinking gin and tonics and attempting some homework. My husband is away. He drives trains, which is a sort of scary job. I keep seeing all this news about oil train explosions lately :/ . I’m an environmentalist and I follow all the typical organizations and they love fear mongering about the oil…

Oh the bickering definitely will taper off, and the wedding day will be such a high. Oh my god you are like, next-level busy. I wish I had your energy! Best of luck and I hope you have a happy wedding day!

Oh god that’s awful. I wish I had advice but I’ve never had that experience before. I’m sure you’ve tried asking her to stop.

Uggghhhhhhhh men.

His feelings were hurt. Sex and emotions are attached for him too. He thought you were ready, and liked him, etc. He thought it was about him not being good enough. I can understand that. However, if he was trying to make you feel guilty for not being ready, that’s not cool. His feelings can be hurt, but he’s gotta…

And. Don’t go over your budget. Just not worth it. You’ll enjoy the day and have lovely pictures for memories without the video.

Wedding planning is the worst. It sucks you in like drugs and for a year or so you become completely crazy. Then your wedding comes and it’s awesome. Then you realize you don’t have to plan anymore and it’s amazing. Just ride out the craziness girl. And maybe go to some yoga classes.

Wow. This is pretty amazing. Don’t you feel like progress for trans rights has just skyrocketed lately? Yes there are the usual assholes and bigots, and yes, there’s still been a lot of violence against trans people and suicides, but, it’s now a part of national news stories and a lot of people are just being cool…

I agree with you, I always saw Meredith and Cristina’s relationship as more central and Meredith and Derek’s as peripheral. The show really started out focusing on friendships as they were all interns together, and then got more romance-y as time went on I think.

Yeah he’s arrogant and annoying. I was more sad when Cristina left.

SO jealous!

Goddamnit I love Toni Morrisson. I heard her in an interview on NPR the other day and she’s just a gem. Also, how do I stay that sharp when I’m 84?

I’m so happy you were rebellious and aggressive! Seriously. I had similar experiences to you but I turned painfully shy instead. I always wished I could be badass. But seriously good for you for standing up for yourself and being an awesome representative for teen girls!
