I would send a message that you would take care of the baby while she shops. It would seem like a sales pitch but then you could just tell her you’re a mom and knows how hard it can be to adjust. Just an idea

Drove through the night, twelve hours on the road. Fuck being social - my whole body hurts and I’m going to bed.

I retired from 20+ years in law enforcement Friday.

So I’m in my 50s, single, and a strong introvert. Oh, also I’m a woman. I’m a cancer survivor (on disability as a result) and on a ton of meds that result in basically zero sex drive. So I’m not interested in hooking up. I have a few pretty good friends. I’m intelligent and well-read. I’m rarely lonely BUT here is…

Thanks to last year’s election and the continuing saga of Fuckface von Clownstick, I seem to have broken my sarcasm detection gene. A few friends have posted “You know, I’m begining to like this guy (Trump)“ on FB and I have responded with outrage, only to be told “April Fools!”

I just cut my hair pretty short and it looks super cute (in my opinion) but I think my husband hates it, he seem to be sulking a bit. What to do? Ignore or address?

Sorry I’ve been so MIA lately. Currently at the office on yet another Saturday night for #trialprep. But YOU GUISE, the trial starts Monday! So close to finally being able to sleep again...

Anyone have any tips on how to start dating? I’m in my mid twenties and never had a Bf. I grew up religious, so BF were out of the question and now that I left that some time ago, I don’t know how to start. Also, everyone is taken.

And how do I get out of the grays? I haven’t caused any trouble!

Obligatory baby. Baby has ear infection again. Gonna go see ENT. Probably needs tubes.

Etiquette question. A friend of mine invited me and a male friend to a baby shower. I don’t know either parent. I told her the new mommy might not want strangers at her baby shower. Friend said it was okay and she’ll ask the new mommy if she can bring a guest. The male friend agreed to go. I declined.

Since I bake when i’m nervous or anxious I decided to make sugar cookies from scratch today and ended up burning them as black as my heart/soul and now my kitchen reeks and I can’t figure out how to get rid of the stench.

There have always been these four books, epic and massive books, that I was too afraid to read but really wanted to. Moby Dick, War and Peace, Don Quixote, and The Count of Monte Christi. Over the past year, I read three of the four and started the last one on Wednesday. I know this isn’t a big deal, but it is big for…

Last week I found out I was being laid off.

I got my dream job, and I’m moving to Washington, D.C.!!!!!!

Happy spring everyone ! The peas and fava beans we put in a month ago are coming up like gangbusters. Anyone planting yet ?

Thank you! I have Vick’s, but not tea tree oil in my medicine cabinet. It seems to be resolving itself. I just need to stop picking at it.

Bluebells are blooming! But may be killed by the snow and cold we’re supposed to have on Monday and Tuesday. 😕

Get Out. It’s as good as everyone says.

Oooh enjoy! I saw it last Sunday at a matinee and thoroughly enjoyed it I highly recommend it, especially to any fellow horror movie wimps who have been hesitant to see it. It’s totally worth a watch even if the idea of watching horror movies is about as unpleasant to you as getting a pap smear.
