I could have told you that. As a sometimes plus-sized woman, I have boycotted Victoria’s Secret for years upon years, because they’re not an inclusive brand. They definitely do not want anyone outside their cookie-cutter image to buy their clothes (and “taint” their image with being the wrong level of fatness or the…

Sorry to hear you were cruelly tricked and abandoned and yet glad for you that the band-aid is off? Good riddance to old rubbish as they say. It’s very difficult moving on from deep attachments, but I’m hopeful for you that clarity and better relationships are in your future. (Especially first and foremost, a kick-ass…

Gail Delaney has the best books (some are out of print, but still available). She was on Oprah many years ago - her method is based on what symbols mean to YOU, rather than general dream interpretation like in those dream dictionaries. Example: if I were to ask you to describe a dinosaur, as if I’d never heard of one…

me also.  I had a burner that was ungreyed until that laptop died (I never saved the stuff you’re supposed to save when you create a burner.  I never thought I’d be commenting regularly, and then was surprised when I was ungreyed, and then knew my time was limited to the age of the crappy laptop I had.)  

I don’t think you need to wait a really long time to date someone new after a breakup. (If people are going through a divorce, that’s a whole other story. Especially if there are children involved - so many entanglements and complexities...) I didn’t wait a long time to start dating my (now) husband after I broke off…

I want to tell you two things:

Yes and I’m not clicking on your spoiler link!  We just started watching it on Friday and are loving it!  

Same here. Also live in the midwest, and we had a wet and gray fall, which they said contributed to the lack of brilliant colors this year. Apparently, in order to get gorgeous fall foliage, you need a cool, dry, sunshine-filled fall. (So, like, in the 60's, with dry air and lots of sunshine and cloudless skies.)

I’ve thought about that a lot (and I think about it in terms of the tipping point before all the awfulness that happened in Syria, and in other horrifying conflicts. It’s the one match that lights the whole thing ablaze.)

I’m capable of mustering up the courage to ask for more money but do not always get it (I get it about 2/3s of the time). I always feel nervous, but I always do it anyway. Or as an old self-help book title says, “feel the fear and do it anyway.” In the type of role I’m in, I am usually thrust into highly stressful…

Guess we have to a line to the viral Lynzy Lab song, “scary time for boys” that we “can’t get an uber even if we need a ride”.  

It took me an extremelyyyyyyy loooong time to warm up to him because of his past. Long ago, when he was still married to his first wife, he was on a design show on HGTV as the client. Chris Harrison was the host of that show. And Kimmel was so disconnected from that first wife I thought he was an a-hole. Then you add…

I don’t even think we’re “taught” this - I think it happens through osmosis.  A knowing sense, early on, that you are NOT safe when you’re a girl/woman.  I did not have to be told to not walk in isolated areas or keep my headphones off one ear, it’s just natural when you are always on high alert about your…

What a fluffy, puffy, little bundle!!  I’m reminded of the pom poms you can make from yarn - I just want to hug him!  

Speaking as someone who has been laid off twice in my adult life (my type of position is the kind of position that a company usually lets go when they start cutting corners, lol you know they never lay off from the top, amIright? even though those positions pay the most and would save the most? I guess there are never…

Totally agree. I told my bff that I wish I could see it again for the first time. I don’t think it’s any kind of placeholder rom com - it’s unique and beautiful and more deep than I thought it would be going into it.  I thought it would be fluffy and light and follow a pretty standard rom com formula, but it wasn’t…

I’m a homeowner, and it can be scary as fuck. Plus, I’m in my tiny starter home, and me and my husband are on the precipice of buying a bigger house. These worries you have are shared by us all, and they honestly keep me up at night. I burst into intense tears (gasping, panting, snorting) just one week ago because of…

Except that Drumpf’s new tax plan has cut the mortgage interest deduction in half or more - fun times to be alive!!

Yes.  Never underestimate the obedience of Fox news watchers, with nothing but time and whiteness in their favor.  Many are retired, and have plenty of time to canvass and volunteer and show up to vote.  Fox will be running a panicked, 24/7 state-by-state fear-fest to rile them all up.  

Because it’s not about good luck, it’s about corruption.  The GOP wins a lot of things because of corruption (gerrymandering is huge on both sides but it’s GIGANTIC in favor of the GOP, and look at all the corruption spilling out of Scott Walker’s kind of illegitimate Wisconsin governorship.)  The list goes on and on…
