I wish you the very best of luck. It’s literally changed my life. I recommend taking a week off prior to surgery and the entire month after that is generally recommended. I was only gonna take the four weeks, but then my surgery date was moved due to insurance fuckery. It was only by a week, but I was so out of energy…

I will say it came with the great advantage of that living scrotum sack basically not talking to me after the fact.

We took out everything but my left ovary, and I’m doing fine, save some minor PT for pelvic floor spasms. I hope that you are doing well and feel good about your care.

Having severe endometriosis, which included an 18-month stint of ever-worsening, constant pain, I can attest that I’m strong as fuck and will still throw my drink in the face of something talking shit about rape victims. Because I contain multitudes, goddamnit.

Gee, Lena, did it ever occur to you he didn’t speak with you because he felt your insufferability in WAVES? You were so certain he was ignoring you because you weren’t his type. Maybe he was ignoring you because your vibe was basically to blame him for not talking to you.

When I asked when a raise was going to take effect, the man I was negotiating with replied, “Why do you need to know that?” Like it was fucking bizarre that I might have some plans for the first bigger paycheck or something.

I recently was told my recently merged company no longer does “merit-based” raises. Isn’t our benefits package a great deal? Not when my rent is skyrocketing, you jackasses.

I went from a team of five to just me and when I went in and made the case for my raise, I was told I should just work overtime if I needed extra money. I went from “polite and harmless female” to “listen fucker” immediately and came back HARD on why I DESERVED a raise that was paltry compared to the amount of money…

Ugh. I had the exact same thought. And I’m not even sure I’m out of the grays at all. Do I sacrifice a bottle of wine to someone?

Even if the evaluation on the kiddo comes back all good, just the fact he did it should require at least some minor hoop jumping.

Oh, thank you! I grew up in a very football-is-life small town and got over it by the time I was about ten, so I was the angry teenage feminist who was constantly pushing back against everything the athletes got away with. Due to the power struggle, not every teacher was on my side, but it was nice when they were.

ACS does an evaluation with a therapist to see if Wiener’s behavior (and, again, I’m not saying the kid was sexually abused; I’m saying he may have been emotionally abused by Weiner’s neglect* and narcissism where his dick was concerned) has caused the kid to be confused or scared or otherwise disturbed. As an adult…

I don’t recall ever getting yelled at to flash my tits when I was a teenager, but I did get accused by a guy of having gotten implants because I started wearing clothes that fit (and stopped hiding my rather large rack) in 8th grade. I made A SCENE about how gross he was and was about to tip his desk when the teacher…

I don’t think there’s any physical abuse going on, but I think there is a question of how much his kid has seen of him being sexually gross. The kid isn’t old enough to process the ways in which his dad is sexually expressing himself, and that can be psychologically damaging to a variety of degrees depending on how…

Also, thanks to him making the news, I keep thinking Dan Patrick the sportscaster has secretly been an asshole for years without me knowing.

I’m named after my bio-father’s father, who died way before I was born. I’m a girl, so we made a couple of adjustments. My mom and the asshole divorced when I was a kid, and he wasn’t really around for a long time, and then I chose to legally disown him by changing my last name and shit. She has never said she regrets…

I think he absolutely has and is just one of those people who hit a certain age and all the age comes out on their face. If he doesn’t use sunscreen and spends a lot of time outside, it’d help it along.

Ha! Same! Got my mom to sign one, kept it, and just traced it for years. Made sure to slightly reform letters to make it look authentic, even.

I was a fidgety first grader because I had learned to read when I was four, and my teacher took my books away during “learning to read time” because she didn’t know this and thought I was just looking at the pictures. I got a note sent home about my fidgets. Mom calls the teacher, says, “She can read. She’s bored.”…

Quick costume note: She’s always dressed as a superhero when she does her runs, which is AWESOME, and I’m pretty sure this time she was a Green Lantern (known for their willpower) and might have specifically been calling back to Arisia’s costume design, which is even better because Arisia is a blonde powerhouse as…
