chainsmoking takes a helluva toll as well.

I’m guessing booze too, from the ruddiness of his face. But he’s at that age, too, where a lifetime of chain smoking really does a number on your looks.

Yes. This guy is a classic narcissist career alcoholic. Probs a little cocaine too, for raging.

Also Federalist columns.

This is excellent news!! I’ve had a roughish day, crying about the march, remembering my childhood friend who was murdered with a gun. Your post has seriously brightened the end of my day. I am happy for you! Thank you for sharing.

I love reading posts like this. When I left an abusive (physical and emotional) marriage in 1977, there was so very little support for women back then. I couldn’t get a loan from my bank on my own. I couldn’t get anything that even resembled a credit card on my own. No financial independence available.

This is a scarf that I’m working on. Each rows color corresponds with the high temperature of the day. In this pic it’s almost as long as my coffee table is wide, and I imagine that it will be crazy long by the time I’m done on New Year’s Eve.

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I updated everyone. Several months ago I started posting about my abusive marriage and really appreciated everyone’s support as I prepared to leave. Now I am here to update everyone that I have been gone a little over 3 months. I am in my dream apartment. It might not be much to…

I faced down a difficult employee, and I THINK I got through. (Entitled white dude in his fifties does not enjoy working for woman in her thirties. In other news, water is wet.) My team is extremely cohesive and thus dude just jacks with the dynamics. So. We’ll see.

I got my version of fruit juicy hair this week. I would share but for some reason I can’t share pics on here anymore. Very irritating. 6 days left until baby arrives. I just want to eat and sleep.

I like this hair, and I’m 50. Might be my next logical step after my current blond.

It looks candid and she looks really beautiful without looking manufactured or like it’s been photoshopped to the point of her being unrecognizable.

We took in a pregnant stray that had two babies 10 days ago. They’ve started opening their eyes.

Happy Saturday!

• After graduating from college 4 years ago, my niece relocated across the country and she is now close to me. It worked out nicely because my own kids moved the other way. It’s nice to have her near, we get together about once a week for dinner or coffee. About a year after she got here, her life…

Weed volcanos - I learned something new today. It sounds like a great delivery method!

This week can suck it. Repeat visitors might recall that I broke up with my ex-BF the day after Valentine’s day after he ignored me and, when I called him on it, he implied that I was selfish for expecting text or any acknowledgement that it was a special day.

I feel like she would be the target audience for the people that put together Frye Festival.

It’s been a less than stellar couple of months but finally something fabulous coming up... my puppy’s 4th Birthday is this week! I took for her an extra special spa bath experience today. I know she doesn’t know any different, but it makes me happy to make a big deal about it. She’s consistently been the brightest…

My (adult) daughter and I will be headed to Amsterdam next week and I’m pretty sure weed is a possibility. Problem is I’ve half-smoked a weak joint twice in my life — once at a Police concert in 1984 and again at music festival in 2017. I must have done something wrong because I felt nothing at all. I’m a little…
