It’s funny how I feel bad saying I don’t love San Diego. It’s supposed to be SOOO awesome! Haha, but I just don’t get *that* feeling here. Good to hear your perspective.

I made for the first time ever breaded porkchops in grandmas iron skillet. How I’ve managed to go 37 years without doing this, I don’t know. They were magnificent. Now for some kitty cat & one slightly pornographic dog pic. Happy Saturday.

Please tell me happy stories of people falling in love in their late thirties, early forties. I don’t think I will meet anyone who is not an arsehole.

GUESS WHAT YOU GUYS I AM GETTING A PUPPY! MEET BILL:

I can’t even process what he thinks he is saying in this op-ed. Because most of it seems like he’s saying: poverty has far-reaching effects that can’t just be solved by throwing money at the problems. Lead paint poisoning, the prevalence of drugs in a community, an intergenerational lack of education that continues to…

Only if you need to “regulate your cycle.” A lot of these old ads were coded to spell out “also good for home abortions” to those in the know.

Last night’s scene with Peggy had me literally standing up on my bed yelling “YES!” because fucking YES! Because in 2015 women STILL are not given the space and freedom to move on and live the rest of their lives in the way men do and it doesn’t even fucking matter what choice she makes: abortion, adoption or single…

It does have that poor-shaming vibe: lots of children, not knowing what “gratuity” means or how to pronounce it, spending welfare benefits on “luxuries” (any meal that isn’t beans, rice and sorrow is a “luxury” for anyone receiving assistance) ... just too many tropes.

Nobody warns you about the fat thing! You just eat like you ate and drink like you drank and suddenly you’re overweight and get hangovers which is brutal and unfair!!! This I cannot deny.

True. I actually agree that I’m not really ready to be dating. I wasn’t really intending to or trying to meet men, it just kind of happened and I was really enjoying the sueprficial act of it (picking out new outfits, going new places, etc.)

Audible cackling here. I’m so, so sorry. But oh my god, I’m still laughing. That is terrible. Let me buy you a pint to drown your horror in.

I feel like finding someone you really, really, really click with is just much rarer than people let on, especially when you are older and know more what you want/have less patience for things you don’t want. That’s what makes finding someone special!

You did the only thing you could do, which was to trust your gut when you weren’t comfortable. There is NO rule that you have to continue with sex when it changes from enjoyable to unpleasant, regardless of how well-behaved your partner is. And from your version of events, it sounds like you tried to be open and…

There is nothing wrong with the way you reacted once you realized you didn’t want to sleep with him. Anytime someone decides “nope, I don’t want your penis/vagina there anymore” that’s the end of the story and that’s ok. I also think there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using someone to get over an ex. IF that person…

If you have Netflix you should watch the show Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. It is about a sassy lady detective solving crimes in great style set in 1920s Australia

I am struggling to see how/where he created drama. You might be projecting, because I think he handled being yanked around pretty well. Your behavior was very hot and cold, and when I put myself in his shoes it doesn’t feel good. It sucks to be a rebound to someone who’s using you to work out their own personal shit…

Pretty sure this is directly tied to lack of paid maternity leave. If your income is going to take a hit for having infants, better to get all the rough years over with at once. I guess you could argue that longer spacing = more time to save up for the next baby, but we all know Americans suck at saving no matter…

I’m not super stoked about Hillary as the Dems runner; but at least she’s fucking smart. All the GOP candidates just seem really really dumb.
