I’m not a very nice person, I guess, ‘cuz I have zero time for that sort of emotional blackmail. Dude’s toxic and not your responsibility. Send him the link to the national suicide hotline and move on.

I don’t remember shit from my homecoming. High school is not the best time of your life. Far from it. You’ll be fine. Be kind to yourself and your body. Your body will change a million times throughout your life, enjoy your young one now! You will heal from your injury. Your life may NOT be the same as it was in May.…

No. Yes. Chill. Yes. No. Safely. No.

So I’ve been trying to be a supportive person in the life of this guy I honestly don’t even like that much. He posts dire suicidal plans on the internet and as far as I can tell, does little else. (And yes I know, I know what he does is ultimately not my responsibility.)

Hey, Squirrelfran! Hope you feel better soon. The return to the petri dish of school is always a rough transition.

Fiona and I have the same body type and hobbies! We must be soulmates!

Mn I feel like fiona has so much going for her and all anyone wants to talk about is her marriage potential. 

Agree- Jerome and Cottonwood are adorable small towns. Good wine!

Oh my God, you guys, there was just a huge earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia: https://earther.gizmodo.com/hundreds-confirmed-dead-in-indonesian-tsunami-with-off-1829418344

I’m having what is probably my first weekend alone since my mid-teens after deciding to leave my husband about two weeks ago. Being alone is an adjustment but I feel like I can breathe. After years of trying to lose weight, I lost 7 pounds in the last two weeks, confirming my suspicion that he was sabotaging my…

Guys I’m onto date two with a cute architect who’s four years my junior. He texts every day how beautiful I am. He’s soooooo sweet. He’s pretty, too. Might end up something cute. I dunno yet! There’s still one other first date I want to give a shot.  At least meet in person.  Wish me luck and cheers, jezzies!

“Body Type: Beefy” has me giggling like a fool.

So my dad has been given the all clear of lymphoma. The kidney is finally starting to do its job. We are celebrating with my homemade Jamaican patties and rice and peas, beer, spliffs and very loud Ali Farkar Toure. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday. What’s everyone else cooking/eating/drinking/smoking/listening to?

I found out this week my ex hasn’t signed the divorce paperwork.

You are correct.

Another piece about how people like that - people who just by being show other people things they don’t want to see about themselves - are unjustly reviled & punished

So … people of color are not supposed to have feelings? Wypipo are supposed to be as racist as they want, and men are supposed to be as violent and sexist as they want – and POC are never supposed to react, never supposed to be upset, never supposed to take offense, no matter how horrible the offending behavior?

Every single caller that shared their story, pained me. I was watching and listening on CSPAN all day.

Thank yoouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu - even on the weekends my husband and I love sitting on our couch or hanging out side listening to music getting a little drunk and hanging out like we are in our 20's.
