omg. your current outlook is what i’m trying to get to rn. i haven’t been able to kick homeboy off the pedestal i built for him yet a few weeks after the rejection. and yeah, i’d absolutely still like to hit that, many more times. fuck feelings, man. friends and booze, that’s all a girl really needs.

I pretty much lost interest in dating when I was rejected by a guy not too long ago. It’s rare for me to like someone in a romantic way, so when I do, I feel all the feels, but he had no feels for me and it really sucked. I think the problem is that humans put certain people on a pedastal and when they disappoint you,…

It can if it's the specialty kind. My son was on one of those. It sucked.

If the kid has allergies and has to be on a special prescription formula, $80 a week is not an exaggeration.

Depending on the age of the child and the kind of formula, yes.

Regular formula and most organics are $20/can. Hypoallergenic (for milk or other allergies) can cost over twice as much.

And the older the kid is, the more formula they need, topping out at as much as 40oz per day. That is about a half can of powdered…

Not everyone can breastfeed. Sure, it’s “free”, but sometimes it just doesn’t work and there’s a lot of shame surrounding moms who use formula. Please rethink before making comments like this, I know I’m not alone in reading this type of thing and remembering the horrible struggle that trying to breastfeed was, how…

I think my 15 yo self would mainly be so fucking happy my dad is (and has been for a long time) dead.

I didn’t know that was true for people with BPD as a whole, glad I’m not the only one. I have issues recognizing the passage of time, if that makes sense, realizing how many years ago which episode was. It makes it hard to relate stories sometimes.

I’m not that much different from what I was like in my teens/early 20s. Except I’m the opposite of you - I had no idea who I was then, and at 39, I still don’t. Maybe I’ll figure it out eventually?

I almost feel bad about it, but tbh 15-year-old me would hear about how my abusive step-father died and be happy. He had a stroke in his late 40s from the drinking that partially paralyzed the right side of his body and left him with the mental age of a 13-year-old and a convenient amnesia of the preceding ten years,…

My 15-year-old self would realize what my current job entails, and immediately call my parents.

Silence yourselves and be quiet. Or I will call the Department of Redundancy Department!

Jason. They’re all named Jason.

Is it weird that this post reminded me exactly of Anita Blake? Her nikes. Oversize t-shirt and lycra shorts. Her beaded black velvet bolero jacket (which hides 2,587 weapons underneath, obviously). HER PAGER.

I love those detailed descriptions of...jeans and a polo shirt with sneakers. It seems as if Laurell Hamilton feels like clothing descriptions are a thing she should have in "chick books" but has no interest in fashion or clothing, so she carefully describes every sporty soccer mom outfit, and then moves on, Anita…

And how she always ends each sartorial description with, "and a [blank] completed the look."

Yeah, pre-"erotica" aka straight up porn Anita Blake. When she was solving actual mysteries and shit with a little vampire romance on the side. All I gathered from the description of her was she had big crazy hair and wore black mom jeans and white Tshirts and white sneakers with white slouch socks and must have…

Oh, Old Anita Blake. I remember reading the descriptions of her Fancy Dress Attire. Slit up to the thigh so she can wear a thigh holster! Jacket with formal dress so she can wear a sword down her back! Boo heels!

And weren't they always inviting the dude over their house which is ALWAYS decorated in florals in shades of salmon & cantaloupe. The effect being both delicate and feminine. And the dude always nods approvingly instead of running & screaming.
