I’ve been working on this for the past couple of years, and while it’s still tricky, I feel much better about my interactions with others. It’s very freeing to not be saying “sorry” all the time.

Fauxlivia Dunham is amazing. And so is Olivia Dunham. And Astrid and Altstrid.

I always seem to get cockblocked or I wake up. One time it was by my boss’s boss and I still a bit of resentment whenever I see him because the dude and I were THIS close to leaving for his apartment.

Remember the roller-lip gloss we all had when we were like, 4, that smelled nice? I got the roller ball stuck up my nose. My paramedic dad was NOT pleased.

I loved that episode.

This world can only be cleansed with fire.

*forever bitter that this douche plays my #2 fave Avenger* At least I have comic book Clint Barton.

I did not. I had seriously considered it, and actually applied to MidAmerica, along with another (non-mortuary sciences) college and the other college wrote back first. I don’t regret my choice at all.

My family owns and operates a funeral home, so I was raised around it. The crematory was added a few years ago when my dad built a new facility. Working at the funeral home was a summer/ holiday job for me, and I ran my dad’s office and the crematory for a few years after college.

My gyno recommended I start at 35 and I intend to follow through on that recommendation. My mother has been cancer free for five years now and just had her yearly follow up with her oncologist today. I’m glad to hear your aunt is in remission!

I have such a hard time being objective about mammograms, because one did save my mother’s life at 45. Her first mammogram led to the detection of aggressive, invasive breast cancer. I understand the debate about mammograms is important, but like I said, my anecdote makes it hard for me to be objective about the issue.

... I used to operate a crematory, so this made me laugh out loud.

That’s how I feel about my niece as well. “You burnt the house down? That’s okay sweetie, just don’t do it again.”

That place sounds like a dream. Is it actually real? Is this the beacon of hope for humanity I think it is?

My hair stylist has a notation on my client card to never let me get bangs during an appointment, after I got them and then next time I was in, begged her to never let me do that again. She reminds me if I ever start to bring it up. I love her.

That head tilt tho! (And never apologize for a large picture of a puppy. Never.)

If by farty and gross you mean gassy and somehow adorably precious, then yes.

We did these in my kickboxing class. It’s awkward at first, but it does help tremendously for agility and footwork.

Same here.
