I like your question to the Jezebel universe. Yeah, for sure, I am going to have a very weird work week. I work in finance and their were layoffs a few weeks ago. 7.5% of the workforce was laid off with a very good severance package, but everyone else working maximally and feeling a complete loss of commitment to what…

Hmm, of course I am biased because lavender is my favorite color, but I just think blue and purple gently mushed together (sorry, I do not know the technical term) is just so darn pretty. I think shawls can make a plain outfit so pretty and eye catching. I would buy a handmade shawl that looks like what your making in…

I also like how the framed art is arranged in a cluster. Your eye is immediately drawn to this lovely arrangement of nature art. Pulls the mind out of the run of the mill ordinary thoughts trapped in your skull and makes you think about beauty and nature. Clever trick. Like when you go an art museum and leave feeling…

Wow, such utter disregard for a pregnant woman’s autonomy and shameful ignorance of the life saving capacity of a cesarean delivery. With my first child, I knew early on that I would have to have a C-section. I went to a renowned high risk OB and when I suggested that I wanted to try to have a vaginal birth, he looked…

I have been in the exact same situation with someone that I thought was near and dear to me. She wanted me to share more and when I did, she told me I should discuss those types of topics with my mom or a therapist. What she wanted was all the details about a date I went on (like my internal monologue) or to include…

Well, what a unique ice breaker! Your curious cat made things interesting (albeit, somewhat stressful). Very insightful for you to know that your neighbor cares and values the lives of animals. Animal lovers are best neighbors.

Are those shoulder titties?

My lil robot years ago.

It will take some getting use to, but 6:30 is the best starting time. I have started at 5:55, 6:30, 7:15 and 8:00 am pt. 6:30 allows you to wake up and be prepared for a demanding shift, but gives you your late afternoon and evening to yourself. Your early evening belongs to you. You can go on a hike, bikerride, go to…

I love seeing newborns who have a perfect hairstyle, like they had a hairstylist in the womb. My second born had hair exactly like your grandbaby (except strawberry blonde). The nurses swooned over him because he came out of the womb looking like he was 3 months old with his Rockabilly hairstyle and intense stare.…

I have a weird hypothesis about the transaction between two parties that involves the sale or purchase of a home or vehicle. Bargaining and bartering is something that was built into our economy and way of doing business for a huge chunk of human history. Our modern society denies ppl the opportunity to negotiate in…

Mmm, bread is so satisfying and calls for my complete attention. When I make a nutritious but ordinary meal, I tend to read while I eat. When I eat my mom’s homemade bread or this one local bakeries’ nutty bread with a light spread of room temperature butter, I am completely taken over by my senses. Bread is the end…

Yes, I definitely feel the difference when I take powdered magnesium and when I do not. The product Calm has been a game changer.

Ahh! You are right, my judgemental comment was intended for someone else. My apologies for the confusion. 

I am a bit teary-eyed. I do not want to be long winded, but i don’t want to be clichéd. My mom is a Republican and she raised 3 girls to be independent minded and respect their skills and gifts to humanity. We agree on less than 30% of political issues, but I love her with all my heart. My mom is a registered…

I need you to do better. That line can rot in pig’s manure. Ugh, what a fu**ing manipulative line that leaves you grasping at straws. What can you say or do that can rise above that holier than thou horse cr*p? You are cornered with no meaningful way of exonerating yourself. You are the bad guy who your family expects…

I am going to tell you what you do not want to read. Give up on trying to help her see the truth through valid scientific sources. This is a time robber for you that has zero pay off. Focus on why you love your sister, talk about your childhood, remind her of things she said and did that were special or remarkable or…

Not to be too nosey, but how old is your little one? I started Kindergarten Zoom with my 5 year old and I am heartbroken at the amount of hours expected of him in the school environment. I ended up not doing his last class on Thursday and going to our local zoo that houses only native animals that would not make it in…

I felt like I woke up to some crazy anti-utopian society that I consented to by accidently using a Grubhub gift certificate from a suspicious source. I delved deep into her accomplishments and failures today. I spent about 4 hours reviewing her life professionally and personal and I was left spellbound. She was truly…

I know what you mean about her death being such a gut punch. With Trump and his gang of malicious losers, I can get emotional/angry, but my critical thinking and intellectual evaluation of events will override my anger and despair. Her unfortunate death has left me whirrling and unable to pull myself into the rational…
