I remember the first time I realized that and told a man as much.

Same. 39, childless, and covered in stretch marks. I didn’t have a baby, I just got fat and then slightly less fat. I feel more confident and comfortable than the years I tried to maintain the ideal. I don’t obsess over everything I eat and enjoy food without guilt. I’m healthy, happy, and fulfilled. I may not have…

I was at a store looking at Cindy yet reasonably nice pants.  A grandma came up to me to tell me how comfortable they are and that they are her favorite. My first thought was I can’t wear these now. Then I was like, wait a minute, she has like 20 years on me and probably knows something. I bought two pair and love…

I feel the same way about middle-aged fashion. I clicked on the L.L. Bean megasale link that Jezebel was tempting me with a few weeks ago and I tried to resist this total mom sweater but I could not. I actually returned it for a bigger, boxier size.  I surrender to comfort.  It is freedom.

I am 37 and childless but I have to say I agree so far. They scare us in our 20s that we won’t get as much attention from men. But I’m really enjoying less and less attention. And I’m really enjoying not worrying about my body’s perfection. I exercise because it feels good. I eat healthy because it feels good and I…

We do have ways of rationalizing the most bizarre\self-destructive behavior.

It all sounds needlessly complicated and tin-hatty.

Oh the memes are fantastic!

I think it has be partly a generational thing to just take pictures and record everything you’re doing. I’m 33, so I think I got a smart phone when I was 22ish. When I’m out, and especially when drinking, the urge to get out my phone and record everything happening never comes over me. In fact I usually am like ‘I…

I Am Still Thinking About Stephen Miller’s Spray Hair

“It doesn’t matter what it looks like as long as you have something there.” I could see Trump saying that.

He’s not a handsome man. I know guys in their 70s who look better.

Starred for the most excellent use of the word “soupçon.” That’s a word I haven’t heard in a while. 

Omg...that’s it! It has to be! Jeebus help us all.

All of you people saying “God, I thought he was in his mid-40s” are making my 46-year-old ass feel really badly about myself.

Speaking as a baldy, we would not welcome Mr. Miller to our group. We would prefer that he continue spray painting his head. The only recommendation we would make is that in addition to spray paint he also drop a cyanide capsule into his mouth and then place a white hood over his head (We are confident he has several…

Oh no.  This actually makes sense.  Trump wants him to be chief of staff but doesn’t approve of his hair (guffaw!).  That’s terrifying.

I may have posted this elsewhere, but my question is: Did he forget he’s already been on national television? I mean, we’ve all seen pictures of his actual hairline. It’s too late to try to fake it. This is certainly a symptom of a larger issue. The amount of doublethink this administration is asking the country to do…

And do I detect a soupçon of bronzer?

And Sarah Huckabee Sanders has such grim stress jaw that she must snap mouth guards in half on a nightly basis, so I guess there’s some comfort in that, as well.
