So sorry. Hugs.

What the hell was going on in the 1980s. Several of my friends slept with older men. There was no stigma. Yikes.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s tough. Something you don’t want to admit to yourself, cause then what? I’m sure your mom did what she felt she had to do. If she ran away and slept with a man in his 50s obviously things at home weren’t great.

So sorry for you. I read each of your stories and was like, “Check, yep, check, ... in the pool, yep.” I recently read (can’t find the article) that many women in their 40s start coming to terms with all of the sexual abuse in their past. Some of it has to do with having children, marriages falling apart, just the…

Jesus, this sounds like my story. At 46, I’ve also begun to unpack my sexual history and what I thought was consensual at 14 (losing my virginity to my friend’s 28 year old brother after doing cocaine one evening) was not. I was a child. It’s confusing and I’m interested to see how this film handles it.

Gorgeous! You’ve accomplished much more in the last couple of years than many in a lifetime. I hope you feel so very proud of yourself. It’s called “grit” and you have it in spades!

I’ll check, I need it for my bedroom.

Yeah, I did Weight Watchers with a friend and it worked but it took soooo long just to lose 10lbs while my friend was dropping weight every week. I’m working out ferociously - 4x a week - cardio weights rowing machine - and I’ve dropped a size or so but haven’t been motivated enough to change my eating habits. You’re…

I just favorited you on Etsy! I’ll check back.

I’m done with all this “beautiful” weather. I want seasons! When I was a kid in So Cal we did have a winter. Now, not so much.

So sorry to hear that. People always make time for what’s important to them. I have a friend that I’ve let go because she was just too busy but she continued to go out and communicate with a mutual friend so... there’s that. It wasn’t nasty, I just don’t take that excuse anymore. But it sucks. Hugs.

Congratulations!!! Tell me how you lost that weight being hypo. It’s hell for me.

I got the best Annual Review in my department. “Exceeds Expectation”!!! Also the highest paid in a department full of men. Suck it! Very happy just to be employed, have a dog and work from home. Sometimes I worry that my aspirations aren’t higher...but that’s years of conditioning I suppose.

OMG - The Lighten the Fuck Up is amazing! Such a great reminder. I think you have an ETSY account? Link?

Have you checked out the podcast Hilarious World of Depression? The host talks to famous people who have suffered/suffer from depression. It’s really a great show.

I had The Wendy Show on in the background a couple weeks ago, and I always knew she was messy, but MAN I don’t know what was going on with her. Drugs, personal problems, on the verge of a nervous breakdown... she was not right in the head.

FFS yes!

Dr. Shmidts Bergamont Lime doesn’t help with wetness just stench. But when you take the odor out the equation, it’s not such a big deal.
