Just Googled “lupus” and... I see both anxiety and depression in the “also common" symptoms.

Hey, when she was younger she was kind of a babe!*

Yep, you caught me. I’m dumb! You are a terribly rude individual.

Oh God, you are such a troll. Get a life.

Note phrasing: “The only difference.”

I think you’re smartest enough to know why the phrasing of your comment elicited strong reactions. Give me a break.

It’s not – unless you only acknowledge that Hillary has benefited from the relationship. Hillary has merit all on her own, and that includes the decision she made to marry Bill Clinton. That decision alone helped to set the stage for her political career (as did Bill’s decision to marry Hillary for his own career).…

I agree with you, it’s highly unlikely that Hillary would have become the first female presidential nominee had it not been for her choice of life partner. However, the opposite is absolutely true. Bill would never have become president without Hillary. The people we choose to be apart of our daily lives and decisions…

Erg, frozen phone. Now I can’t delete “I”

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that your comment is entirely redundant.

I

Natural charisma is not enough to get one to the White House. Quite a few other factors to consider.

Can we all agree that it’s unlikely that Bill Clinton would have become president if he wasn't married to Hillary Rodham Clinton?

I would rather live in a cardboard box under a bridge than work 130 hours a week.

Quick update — I really really appreciated everyone’s advice. I thought long and hard on the decision and I’m going with my gut and accepting the position first thing next week. If my bf wants to come, I’m leaving to door open for a little while but I’m not going to turn down an amazing opportunity for him. I’m really…

God, you're right. It's so ridiculous when I really think about it.

Thank you for replying. I agree with you completely, and then the media starts telling me I’m old and should have a husband + child + perfect home by now. So hard to disassociate sometimes!

Thanks for your two cents. I love chicago!! Sounds like you live there ;) Would love your thoughts on neighborhoods. Affordable/artsy is the goal (even if I end up there alone).

Thank you. You have no idea how good it feels to have an outside confirmation. 28 is not old!!!! But media definitely wants us to think it is.

Thanks for your response. 28 definitely isn’t old — I know! But yes, my life choices have started feeling much more serious all of the sudden. Stay in my relationship of 5 years or go and find something new. More terrifying than I'd like...
