Right? Exactly. I am very straightforward, but she perceives communication as aggression. The husband is easier to talk to but he just does whatever his wife wants. My poverty is the only reason I don’t tell them to just fuck right off, and holding in this sort of anger is not healthy. Thank you for reading my stupid…

So I have to share this awesome thing I learned on my summer vacation about...Horseshoe Crabs!

My mom died suddenly this week before she could meet my newborn son. We’ve been living in a hotel for a week preparing for the services and everything has been a blur. Heading back home tomorrow and I’m so heartbroken I don’t know how I’m going to take care of my two week old when my husband is back at work Monday. I…

So, Middle Child is pregnant and Big Foot has turned into someone’s gramma. Her list of things she really enjoys includes: naps, puzzles, coloring and bingo. I bought her a bag of butterscotch discs as a joke yesterday and dammit, she is walking around with them in her pocket because she LOVES them. Well, of course…

Al-Anon really helped me when i was dealing with addiction issues in my family. You have to visit several different meetings to find the one that is right for you, which generally happens pretty quickly. Some meetings are more religious in nature, some are more psychological, some are Step meetings, there should…

Never give up!

Allow me to direct you to a recent Kotaku post: http://cosplay.kotaku.com/you-are-never-too-old-for-cosplay-1797045363

Yes and no. The storyline is over, but Danielle’s re-running all the strips in full colour - with the appropriate addendum of ‘chaser’ - while she does other things. Her colourist, Laeluu, has done some amazing work.

First off: you are doing the right thing. You cannot make him change. You cannot make him want to change. You cannot alter the circuitry in his brain so it is easier for him to change. You have to look out for yourself as well.

Hey everyone! I’m out of the grays! To celebrate, I’ll be ungraying it forward this evening. :)

I literally have a regularly updated photo folder on my computer (for over a decade) called “Gay Men With Dolphins.” I only look at gay dating sights, and I’m sure there are many, many straight people posing with dolphins, but the sheer number of gay men that have photos of themselves rubbing a dolphin right next to…

This could be horrible advice but it works for me. I lie to myself. No joke. It sounds stupid at first, but fake it until you make it is a thing for a reason. I tend to underestimate me. Everything in my life says I’m doing okay but I have a tendency to doubt it. So if I’m having a really dark day, or in one of those…

id give it 48 hours to see how much it improves, but the doctor is kinda the place to go if it doesn’t.

Plagiarizing myself from GT, because this story makes me so happy:

Your choice, of course, but I definitely wouldn’t. ‘We don’t fuck the fuckboys’ has long been a motto among me and my friends. There are plenty of sexy as hell guys who aren’t absolute MAGA-morons to sleep with. Rewarding the attitudes of the Trump boys with sex (and in my experience they tend to view all sex as…

I just found out I’m pregnant. My husband is out of town camping with the kids. I’m freaked out. Like happy, but I’m four years post repeat loss and never thought I’d be doing this again. Aaaaah!

It’s bizarre, isn’t it?

“They kidnap. They extort. They rape and they rob. They stomp on their victims,” he said. “They beat them with clubs, they slash them with machetes, and they stab them with knives. They have transformed peaceful parks and beautiful quiet neighborhoods into bloodstained killing fields. They’re animals.”

There’s a lot of red flags in the second story. I feel strongly that either the letter writer is lying and did cheat (or at least have an “emotional affair”) or that they’re in an abusive situation. Having to hide your relationship for six years is not healthy. Getting married for “grandkids” even though your new wife…

Ah - and here we go.
