While we're at it, we can work out how to get personal relationship setups THE FUCK out of tax implications

I understand that there is a legal system and that we are not privy to all aspects of this investigation. The fact that this matter was not fully investigated in a timely fashion as well as the fact that it appears the police department sat on information that they should have looked into is what makes this so awful.…

Had strange dreams last night, including one where I texted the guy I lost my virginity to that I had an abortion, and then nearly had to have a second one but luckily miscarried. It was so bleak, guys. I was walking around my tiny-ass Southern hometown, trying to find an illegal abortion. Woke up very glad the…

I don't think the Kerala comment means she's really into being Jewish and talking about it. That is a real group of people in India and it is sort of a contentious issue about whether they are considered Jewish because their customs vary widely from other Jewish communities in the world. I think that a comment on that…

Looking for advice, ladies!

I've applied for an awesome job overseas, but the final interview and result will be early next spring, and I would be leaving in early-to-mid April.

Right now I've got a great internship, but it's unpaid and only a couple days a week. I've got an MA in a social science, and I'd like to get a…

I'm babysitting for my best friend's older sister's baby, and he is asleep on me while I watch Disney movies on Netflix. Hercules now, Robin Hood next. Perks to babysitting as an adult - they showed me where the alcohol was. Downside: my husband is at work, so there are no boys to entice over here for an unsupervised…

Stupid question: I'm from a warm place. I live in a cold place. I don't know anything about fireplaces, but my partner's (and now my) place has a fireplace. It's in good condition, and last night we lit a log according to manufacturer's (because the building owner says no real wood) instructions, and everything went…

Jezzies,

SO FUCKING BORED WAITING FOR THIS BABY TO POP OUT. 9 days to go. Anxious for labor to start. It's like waiting for prom night without the amazing 90's hair and crushing disappointment.

SO GLAD it's the weekend. I'm trying to graduate and balance managing a gym (a job I am lucky to have)..I have been feeling crappy for eons now and finally broke down and went to the doctor...turns out I have mono AND strep. Like, SERIOUSLY? There is nothing I can do about it but rest but with bitchy coworkers who…

Excitement for the day: I bought a matte top coat for nail polish.

I've had such a busy week, at work and outside of work, that I am blowing off all social engagements and staying in to watch the UFC fight with a bottle of whiskey.

What colors go good with a blue dress? I am asking for a friend who a) has too much make up, b) doesn't know how to use it, and c) really needs there to be dark lighting and onion rings at her company Christmas party tonight.

Trigger warning for SA, just so you know.

Ugh, this week. My 11 year old was hit by a car walking home from school on Monday (he was crossing a road at a roundabout, some assbag on his phone didn't notice the kid that had already crossed most of the way in front of his stopped car). He was sooo unbelievably lucky— he landed on his elbows in the grassy median…

Cooking a pretty mean vegetarian chili tonight, but just waiting on the damn dried beans to actually be finished. Hope you're all keeping out of the snow! Trying to get over a dumb guy, and also realizing that since I moved back to New York I don't have enough female friends in my life. Local Jezzies, can we do…

I wish I could say this to my gay male friends...

It's so weird having strangers in my house, 24/7, cooking and cleaning for me. I'm a solitary creature by nature and hate the idea of being observed all the time. I had a sub take the day shift today and she insisted on initiating conversation over the slightest things including commercials that happened to be…

I'm going to Canada tomorrow! See you very soon North America, snow and scarves. Sayonara, stupid, hot Australian summer, you will not be missed!

So it's been a week since I injured my knee, four days since I left the house, and three since I found out I've lost my job. I really don't know what to do anymore.
