Or your mother-in-law. I love the woman, but I know she’d be offended if I didn’t eat her food. Unfortunately, she is the second-worst cook I’ve ever met. The absolute worst is my best friend. In addition to serving me expired hamburger meat—which made me extremely ill for three days—she once made BBQ chicken by…

Just finished “Without a Doubt” by Marcia Clark. Great book! I’m on the waiting list for a copy of “Luckiest Girl Alive” from the library’s e-book collection, but I am like 35 or 36 on the list, so it will be a while.

I’d be okay with inspection every three or four years, but annual inspections are just a money grab.

LOL!

These people remind me of my FIL’s wife. She is totally against Western medicine ever since her doctor retired and she went to pick up her chart to take it to a new doctor. Apparently, the retired guy wrote down that he believes she may have some mental issues that could benefit from therapy/medications, and she was…

Herbal medicines, yes. Not homeopathic medicines. Homeopathy is a big pile of bullshit.

I divorced my in-laws two years ago on the 18th. My husband and I are happier than ever!

Send me good vibes, please. I have a job interview on Wednesday. I’ve been freelancing for 12 years, and I am just so sick of demanding clients who always want a discount. This is my first in-person interview since 2008!

I would love to spend three or four months in Europe. I have a big list of places saved on my computer, and I look at it every so often when I’m daydreaming. Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Luxembourg, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Norway...

I need to listen to this immediately. However, I am having trouble. I went to the page for episode 47, but I can’t find the podcast player. I see books and music about the case, but no player. I even clicked “play in popup,” and it didn’t work. Is there a trick?

Hi Tilly! <3 Chewie

Oh, it’s even worse than headbands now. http://baby-bangs.com/index2.php

LOL! This is the perfect blend of Ross Kardashian and the annoying “Juice” nickname.

I’m really hoping to get an Amazon gift card for my upcoming birthday so I can buy all four of her novels!

Have you been watching American Crime Story?

Thanks for ruining my productivity for the next week! Seriously, I love me some medical mysteries/oddities.

Yes, exactly. You’d never know I have serious health problems unless you really took a close look (my eyes get really glassy when I don’t feel well, so my mom can always tell when I am sick). I have chronic kidney disease, too, which causes its own set of problems. Damaged kidneys tend to leak nutrients, so I am…

My FIL has always wanted my husband to take over the family business. Unfortunately, my FIL is a terrible boss who doesn’t want to pay more than $7.25/hour, so my husband left a long time ago. His dad wouldn’t talk to him for months after that, and now they’re pretty much estranged.

Exactly. I’ve had to fight doctors to get basic tests on several occasions. It’s not because I am a hypochondriac; it’s because I actually have problems! I had one doctor kick me out of the hospital because there was “nothing wrong with me.” I lost my job because I was in severe pain at all times and used up all my…

As someone with lupus, I do have empathy for these women. It’s bad enough to be fatigued and in pain, but then to have other people judge you because you don’t meet their definition of what a sick person should look/act like* is the cherry on top of a shit sundae. Whether or not they have Lyme disease, they are…
