I was also extremely confused about this. Like...wut?

Evangelicals through fundraising I assume. Also, it sounds like they may have done it, but they never released the results to her, which is odd as hell.

This. If you want to see the original movie, just watch it. No need to recreate it for a new generation or to quell some nostalgia of previous generations.

I’m reading down this thread and when I saw that person’s comment, I immediately thought, “yep...always one who shows up to the party.” They can’t even see behind blind rage enough to realize that their argument isn’t actually sensible. “Once skinny girls figure out they can charge for sex work as well?: Huh? Like,…

Maybe it’s because I always liked Tea Leoni (or however you spell her name) and I hear he ended up being a total replica of his Californication character while married to her, but I really don’t like him. Like, even a little bit. He seems SOOOO much like a guy some a woman would date as a late teen/early 20-something…

I’d rather not kiss family at all but my family is affectionate so alas I must make an exception. They don’t do the mouth kiss thing though (my late grandma on my mom’s side did...which was always weird). But, I think it’s a big cultural thing here. In other countries it’s not that big a deal.

I really don’t think it’s the phone per se, but all the shit you can do on it. Talk, text, FB, IG, twitter, snap chat, Skype, emails...everything!!!!! It’s an all in one devices that’s super convenient to be tethered to during everyday life events. It’s for that reason that people, even folks who aren’t “dicks”, need…

It could be that he’s just gained a few and it shows on his face.

It is and I totally get her. I don’t think it was snarky eye roll as much as it was “dammit...I can’t break down over this here” face.

Yep. Anytime. I have been blessed to be able to get back to sleep relatively quickly so if he comes at 3am after a night out and wants sex, I’m game. 7:53am before I have be to work at 9am, I’m game. Lunchtime quickie? Let’s get it. I rarely turn down sex when I’m in a relationship so unless I’m sick or really have to…

enough = activity...it’s not a financial issue. As far as I knew it was free. When I said I didn’t have enough I mean at the time when I inquired about it, the police said I didn’t have enough activity to show justification to get an order of protection. I’m inquiring again and I think I do (mostly because I’ve saved…

My issue with an order of protection isn’t financial at all. It’s that when I contacted the police last time, they told me I didn’t have enough “activity” (if you will) to file a restraining order against him.

Yeah, I ended up cutting off the friends who were stupid about this whole thing. And I don’t mean stupid as in didn’t know how to handle it. But, stupid as in “oh...y’all were so cute together and he’s really attractive...he could have anyone and the fact that he’s really trying to work this out shows how much he…

I will look that up now. Thank you!

Thank you! It’s encouraging to know that others have been able to finally get free.

Yeah, I’m in the process of moving in a month. He’s in LA right now and to my knowledge won’t be coming this way for a minute. I keep in touch with his sister because she knows he’s abusive and she’s been a pretty helpful ally in letting me know if I have anything to be concerned about (like him coming here). I…

I will definitely pick it up. I’ve read some stuff from that book and my ex is definitely a combo of the Mr. Right and Drill Sergeant abusive profile :(

I HATE that shit. Don’t invite me over for wine and whatever and then bust out the “so, I’m glad you all are here...let me tell you about an exciting opportunity that I just have been dying to share with you.” Just...no.

Meetup.com It’s hit or miss but you’ll meet a bunch of people in a social setting, get to know a few of them and then you can choose to continue friendships outside of the group with the people you click best with.

Yes. Thank you. I will do that. Just document every change that have to make as a result of his insistence on contacting me. Sounds pretty simple and since it’s all in email form right now, it’s not hard for me to document at this point.
