I have mentioned my ex-roommate who in fact physically stole my fiance ( he is blind and in a wheelchair and has some brain issues because he was shot in the head). This chick stayed in my house, used my car, and then said that she should be paid for all she did around the house ( most of the stuff included using…

I am very sorry that happened. Don’t worry, I have blocked her from everything. She’s definitely not lying. before the first time i cut it off she was newly diagnosed with both Bipolar and BPD and I actually went with her to her psych appointments. She recognized the Bipolar diagnosis. She doesn’t recognize the…

Mmmmhmmm; I had a friend like that, and for your own self-preservation you have to cut them out of your life. She actually lied about having cancer to a mutual friend who had cancer, because she didn’t want to get one-upped in anything.

Late to the party as per usual. I broke up with one of my best friends for the second time a few days ago. It’s complicated. She has both Bipolar disorder and BPD but definitely with some narcissistic traits. I do not blame her for either thing. Mental illness isn’t a choice. I had rarely heard from her since I left…

I have made progress on setting up my apartment, and I thought that would be my excitement for the week. I mean, it’s solid progress, given how little I want to do.

I set up the home gym in my new house today. It’s actually out in the workshop, but one man’s shop is another woman’s gym. I was avoiding it because I knew hanging the mirrors was going to be a pain in the ass. But it’s finally done and now I have no excuse not to work out.

Oh no :( That is horrible, I’m so sorry. Good for you for proceeding with or without him.

My mom doesn’t do computers, but I called her. She’s seriously okay about not doing Christmas, so that’s a good thing (she and my sister live together; they might drive each other a bit nuts, but neither will be alone). I’m not going to jeopardize my 84-year-old mother because of a holiday. As far as she’s concerned,…

Those sound amazing. I love anything apple filled. Very cool pic too. Looks like you have it down to a science.

Shelter Cat Update!

I’m sorry :-/ I truly hope you find some relief with your infusion. I have Crohn’s myself and am high risk for developing MS. When I was at my worst I was on an infusion drug called remicade and I swear it was the only thing that helped. 

That is truly amazing looking. Your posts always make me hungry and thinking I should cook more adventurously. My Aunt is currently our lead family pierogi maker currently. She recently gave a ton of her favorite recipes for them tho soooooo I’m nervous. I’ve got big shoes to fill. I did get back on the poultry making…

I would love anonymous feminist support tonight.  Having period cramps for the second time this month thanks to beginning fertility treatments.  Bonus - my partner claimed he didn’t understand what I was doing, and mentioned he might back out of participating. I spent a grand so far.  And am on a path with my…

Make anything interesting? It’s pierogi making time over here. I have become the pierogi lady of my family, which I never would have predicted when I was young. I may be delivering them to back porches this year though. The recipes always say the fillings are only limited by your imagination, but people give you side…

Multiple sclerosis can die in a fire. I had the worst relapse of my MS, and then on top of that my medication wore off, so I’ve been experiencing hell. I had my infusion yesterday, so I’m feeling better.

You have a lovely dog. I am amending the recommendation for me, however, to “hold a cat like a baby” because I have a cat and she is a baby. Also, she got up on my belly last night and stayed for a cuddle. This sounds like no big deal but it was HUGE. She hasn’t done that in eighteen months, because she has been…

Big day for the tiny human. We got her her very own library card! I adore how much joy it brought her. The library has truly become one of our happy places. Tho with books being quarantined for a week before they are checked in, we have been hitting our take out limits on my card. So now we can get sooooo many more…

“We must act with vindictive earnestness against the Sioux, even to their extermination, men, women and children.” Later, under President Grant, Sherman’s policy was that “all the Indians will have to be killed or be maintained as a species of paupers.”; it was a policy that entailed a “racial cleansing of the land.”

As more and more trans kids receive medical intervention this should be a less of an issue. But the same people worried about sports (SPORTS! as if someone’s high school track team is more important than another kid’s very existence) are against helping kids transition pre puberty. Like the bathroom “debate” it’s…

You know that the Olympics already allows trans women to compete, right? And-this is gonna blow your mind-the requirements are that the trans woman in question has undsergone this wild medical treatment where they suppress testosterone production (usually to effectively zero, which is actually well below the T levels…
