About 6 years ago I lost 40 lbs by severely restricting calories (1200 a day) and logging them. Plus exercising in some way almost every day. It was great - I felt good and pretty! But then 2 years ago I herniated a disc in my back. (That probably happened 3 years ago, but it took a long time to figure out because…

You know what will happen if your child doesn’t color in the planets, or do some other school assignment? They’ll get a zero or a bad grade. Then, if they don’t want another one, they’ll do their homework. Sometimes it take multiple bad grades or zeros before it kicks in. You can ask if they have homework and be…

Honestly, the most I have gotten about anyone’s appearance (I’m in the middle of book 3) is that the psychologist is built like a line backer. Which, Jennifer Jason Leigh is...not. And this other character Grace, I think I’m picturing as much older because of the voice reading it (listening via Audible). Like I’m…

Thank you for all the information! I hope that the CBD and THC help manage the fibromylagia. If you do end up writing about it online somewhere, post a link - I’m really interested in hearing about your experience.

I have no advice, but just wondering if cannabis is helpful - if you live somewhere it is medically or recreationally legal. From personal experience - I don’t have fibromyalgia, but I do have unexplainable exhaustion that has been blamed on everything from super mild sleep apnea, depression, anxiety, being overweight…

Seriously. We need to just be honest and tell kids that the kid teasing you/being mean to you is an asshole.

Wow. My mom would help me out if I needed it, but she has always made it clear that she needs to pay her bills first, because if she doesn’t, no one will have a place to live.

I just bought an MSU branded sweater in December. Haven’t worn it yet and am desperately trying to find my receipt. 😑

I’m an MSU alum - the President and everyone who knew should be fired. The trustees should be recalled. I am angry beyond reason that LouAnna Simon is still there.

Maybe he spoke out about Mel Gibson because he had a little more currency - the first movie was a big hit and really brought him into the public eye, so he had more power to assert during casting of the second one. He was unknown during filming of the first film, if he said he wouldn’t be in the film because of Mike…

Korean is my favorite Asian cuisine. I’ve dreamt about mandu before. And pajeon...so delicious. A bowl of bibimbap on a cold winter’s day is so satisfying. Especially in the stone bowls that are steaming and hissing. I have no idea what all the banchan is when they put it in front of me, but I don’t care. It is…

I never liked Dylan - he’s an okay songwriter, but his voice is shit and makes my ears bleed. I also never liked U2. For some reason, the lead guitarist calling himself “The Edge” makes me want to commit violence. Bono is a giant douche, too.

I’m in a similar situation, except I’m 41. And I am so tired of driving to my hometown every holiday. Just once I would like to wake up on Christmas morning in my own home. And yes, even though it is a rental apartment, it is home. I have lived in it longer than any other dwelling, including my mom’s current…

We totally learned about evolution at my Catholic school too! There are also a lot of progressive nuns in the Church. We really need to let them lead the way.

Confession is a game-changer! More religions really ought to have it, might make them more tolerable. (I’m a recovering Catholic. There’s a lot I really dislike, but from my perspective, it is so much better than evangelism).

In the slice of America I grew up in, Catholics were overwhelmingly lower or just-barely middle class (my theory is all the damn kids they kept having), and worked in the trades. Which meant they were in unions. And, while they didn’t use birth control or support abortion, it wasn’t their place to tell other people…

I get this, but Black women are finally getting the recognition they deserve for doing so much of the heavy lifting. Isn’t that good? And maybe that recognition will (hopefully) make people realize how much we need their leadership? And maybe we’ll let them lead and amplify their voices instead of just shouting out…

It is so frustrating! I wish I knew how to design and sew them myself.

I hate this because I am a 34G (edging into GG territory) - but in UK sizing. I buy mainly off of figleaves.com, with is UK-based. So in US sizing I’m a 34I...which no one carries. I have tried to go up to 36FF...but that’s still an H cup here in the old US of A. 38 band size would be too big.

Very cool - is it also on one of the podcast apps like Apple, Stitcher, etc?
