Ok, sure! [pinterest.com]
Yeah, there are times when it'd be really handy to have a facebook account again, but...that really skeeved me out. Who comes up with this stuff?
I used to think it was just a super-intense case of that late-night mania that cats get, but I've noticed that there are times when it's not playful running around, it's agitated and distressed, with a really characteristic frightened miaow. And she'll often stop and stare at me while her back twitches like mad.
I know, I can't believe I had a cat with a textbook case of it, and he was never actually diagnosed. It is a pretty weird disorder, maybe it's not well known even to vets? Good luck with your kitty! Hopefully now that you're back from your vacation, he'll be less stressed and it'll settle down.
Yeah, that sort of stuff right there is why I dropped my facebook account years ago. I was single and killing time on okcupid, when I saw a banner up the top saying "Full-name-of-my-current-crush-and-facebook-friend is playing some-facebook-game right now! Join him!" and had his facebook picture right next to it.
I'm glad someone brought up the age issue, I didn't notice that on the first read. I'm always conflicted about age differences, because I've had friends with bigger differences that have had surprisingly (well, to me) stable and healthy relationships. But still, red flag is right.
That's the great thing about sites like OKCupid. If I was feeling superficial (which was always), I could avoid ever having a conversation with anyone who listens to Nickelback.
I wouldn't have been able to wait 6 months into something to have that talk with someone I'm into - and I don't think I'm alone in that respect - so you certainly aren't being clingy or forward by bringing it up with him. You're being mature and assertive, and clear about your desires and expectations. These are all…
Cat talk!
Ok, since you played the you-only-have-that opinion-because-you're-childless card, I get to play the but-I-have-a-cat-and-it's-the-saaaame-thiiiiing card.
Have you ever considered that your ability to retain perspective, and your ability to recognise the negative consequences of attempting suicide might be the difference between you and somebody who did? Projecting your own cognition and beliefs onto those whose cognition is impaired by their mental health makes no…
Yes! This!
Yeah, I can't think of anything either. Except this, but obviously this doesn't count.
Lordy, that's hilarious. Your Nana is awesome!
My boyfriend does this to me all the time. It is pretty friggin' funny when I realise what has happened. Why do I always take the rubbish? Why?
How do they come up with this stuff?!
I have to wonder how she came up with it. Like, did she hear someone on tv say "I heard Nina whacks off with cucumbers" and innocently think "golly, stealing cucumbers is a funny thing to do!"
I've tried, honestly, I just....always chicken out.
Eh, I get where you were coming from with your comment. The Jezebel commentariat doesn't tend to handle racial issues (or trans issues - or others, but these are the two main ones that spring to mind) with the same finesse that they do issues that affect white cis women.
