Thank you. He didn’t say he was a migrant worker. He said migratory, which is the act of migrating. That word is associated with the act of animals moving from one place to another. It is not exclusive to migrant farmers/workers.

Unless you grew up with someone who was like this, then I can see how this would look tame. But trust me. It’s not. The mother is a huge manipulator and probably a narcissist. Why? Because regular people without those traits do not call upon the expertise of a public etiquette columnist to solve their issues. They…

No snark. Is your mom unmedicated mentally ill? I ask because I have a friend who’s mom is and she does very similar creepy stuff when she’s not medicated. Also, I cannot imagine any psychologist siding with someone about an invasion of privacy such as this. Where did she find this “professional?”

Yeah, I agree with you. My bf told me not to offer my place because that might put me in harm’s way. My bf’s mom was married to an abusive man and he saw what it took to get out up close. So he is really sensitive to this situation. Honestly I’m a bit hesitant to speak to her about anything because she’s so deep in…

Thanks. I’m aware that he definitely would not want her doing much alone. She does travel for work as she does outside sales, so I could try to meet her for lunch weekly.

I could have written your reply. I just got insurance again so I’m more than likely going back on them.

Good on you! Have fun!

Lol. I wish. As long as you send the ambers my way.

Drink. Lol. Seriously, though...volunteer. Doing for others takes the focus off yourself and helps build esteem as well. Folks need a lot during this time, and it feels good to do it.

Serious offer. If you need someone to write a cover letter, inbox me. I can totally help in that area.

She’s kind of a friend I’d like to keep around. Thank you for your advice because it’s pretty good.

I was going to tell her (him?) the same thing. You don’t get in shape to get in shape. Start boxing and you will get into amazing shape and have a pretty kick-ass skill (all pun intended).

OMG. IPAs!!!! I got a variety pack a few years ago and didn’t understand why 6 of the 12 were IPAs. I hate that beer.

Champagne and watching Sense8. It’s pretty decent. Had to give it another chance, but so far, so good. Others may disagree but this is much better than Jessica Jones.

Anyone here deal with friends who had horrible boyfriends? Here’s my situation. I have a friend who has shared some horrific stuff with me about her relationship. I hadn’t seen her in a few weeks and we got together for another friend’s bday dinner about three weeks ago. At this dinner, my friend told me that her…

Indeed. We are all living in a virtual reality - Jamiroquai

This is so true. One of my good friend’s has never had a boyfriend/husband who didn’t beat the living shit out her. She is smart, accomplished, very pretty and a mother to two girls by her first husband. It’s just now, in her early 30s and on the heels of divorce number two that she realizes that she keeps picking the…

It is no joke. I have bipolar 2, no meds and I think I may have made a mistake going off of them. I did for a variety of reasons and for the most part, I’m stable. But I notice I do better on them than off. (more so for focus and taming anxiety)

I still think it’s a relatively low risk of them attacking someone UNLESS they are socialized wrong or owned by someone without any knowledge of the breed. There are subtleties that people need to take into consideration exactly because of what they are capable of.

Indeed. It’s not that they attack more, per se, it’s just that when they do it’s more dangerous/fatal. It’s the difference between someone using pills to commit suicide or a gun. (horrible analogy but the only one I can think of at the moment).
