I have a dragon on my thigh that my ex wife drew. Luckily it’s badass but when anyone asks the symbolism I mumble something about how I used to do martial arts and wander away.

Unrelated: holy crap, I’m not gray!!

Thanks! These are excellent tips, but my husband and I are trying to have a kid so I will try surgery. If that doesn’t work, after 1 year, we go the iud and adoption route.

I have pretty bad endometriosis and I really hope this is true. They may need to induce menopause and I’m terrified, but my moods are pretty stable during my period so that wouldn’t be so bad.

I...just...woah. My mom is an alcoholic, too, but the worst thing she said to me was that she never wanted me and kids ruined her life. Still way nicer than what your mom said. I’m sorry. Solidarity, sister.

Do in laws count? My mother in law told me that I had clearly gained weight and probably would not fit into my wedding dress. On my wedding day. In front of friends, family, and the makeup artist.

This is way too rational for the internet.

2 oz gin, 1 oz dry vermouth, 1/2 oz lemon juice, 1 tbsp marmalade. Shake and strain. Other recipes do not call for the vermouth if you don’t have it, but I like the added kick.

I made marmalade today, so I made a marmalade cocktail with gin and vermouth.

Seriously, we are unfortunately well past the days when threats on campus can be taken lightly and we can say “well, we thought it wouldn’t happen here.” Because shootings are happening fucking everywhere.

Then he should have just driven, not given unsolicited opinions.

This is why I live in Florida. Sure, it’s full of nut jobs but the news is always entertaining and my seasonal depression is much better. You’re welcome down here! I have tiny goats!

Thanks. It’s okay, though. I feel better today. It’s just every month is a new let down.

That is super helpful. No, my doctor insisted it was PCOS and should be treated by forcing me to ovulate. I told him I was pretty sure I had endometriosis and he disagreed. Now he finally admits I have both but thinks pregnancy is the magical fix.

So I love Halloween but today is rough. Another negative pregnancy test. We have been trying for 2 years but fertility treatments and a miscarriage later and I feel like it’s never going to happen. I’d almost rather just give up and go for adoption but my husband would like 1 biological child. I know he doesn’t feel…

H.H. Holmes is my favorite by a mile.

Wow, I hope you aren’t a teacher. Because if your response to kids not listening is to throw them across the room that’s kind of an issue.

Laws get weird when work commission. They pay you a draw but it comes out of your first commission check and you cannot earn commissions in training. I don’t work there anymore, but yeah...commissioned employees can be taken advantage of in a pretty unique way.

When I worked for Rooms to Go they literally made me pay them for training...then they sat me in a room and made me watch dvds taped in the 80s. $300 well spent!

Oh yes. She is rocking that lip
