Whoa! That’s amazing. Congrats on being removed from the waitlist! I’d say it’s totally worth a try. I can understand why you might feel hesitant; my natural instinct is that I should maybe try to dislike this for being exclusionary, but honestly it just sounds really neat and exciting!

Are we spirit twins? I’ve been wanting to get inked up forever, and just yesterday a couple of my coworkers convinced me that it might be a good idea. I want an eye on my left forearm.

Screw your doctor. That ain’t no blessing.

I was also alone for the most part and you know, I rather enjoyed it. I took a long nap and got lots of “me” time in.

Wait, wait, wait. I have been out of the dating game for a long time so please forgive any ignorance that is about to follow:

Google Photos! Automatically backs up photos and you don’t have to lose any pictures even if the space on your phone runs out!

I was pretty young - before speaking age, definitely under 2 years old. I was in a travel crib of some sort that my parents had set up in a hotel while travelling. Everything in the hotel was an ugly beige color and I was crying because everyone had stepped outside without me.

I hated the book but after reading this I am convinced it was taught to me badly as well.

Aha! I thought so! There is something very particular about that shade of blue. It’s simply gorgeous!

Self-care is absolutely critical, and yet it’s so easy to make excuses not to make time for it. I started out with baby steps and gradually worked my way up. One of the things listed in the workbook that has really helped me is progressive muscle relaxation. It takes about 15 minutes to do - so I would give myself 15…

Ah, I see. Some dogs just don’t respond as well to treats. You may have to step up your treat game and/or switch to toys. My current pup didn’t respond well to treats either so we started using freeze-dried cheese cubes and turkey jerky, in addition to carrying around her favorite toy and giving it to her whenever she…

I’ve had trouble finding a good therapist. This book has worked wonders for me. It’s very comprehensive. It’s also very dense so I gave myself a week to go through each chapter and also skipped/skimmed the ones that don’t pertain to me.

Is he actually marking or just in need of a little house training? There’s a big difference. Marking is territorial, whereas house training is something every pup goes through. Definitely stop with the yelling and loud noises when you catch him. Simply interrupt him and move him outside for him to go out there.…

Or is it a London blue topaz? Either way, colored gems FTW!

Yup! Right around the end of my period, guys suddenly start looking at me like they’ve never seen a woman before in their lives. It’s disconcerting.

I know gals who swear by baking soda but the idea of using it on my face makes me cringe. It just seems too abrasive. I live for exfoliation but I would never do it daily unless it was with something very gentle, e.g. a soft washcloth, brush, or product designed for daily use. 3 days a week is the max for me.

A couple others have mentioned getting married in Vegas which I also did! It took so much stress out of everything. If I had to do it again, I’d still either do it in Vegas or have a courthouse wedding with a fun party after.

I like you. You have perspective. It’s all too easy to get caught up in sadness and forget that sometimes it’s ultimately opening the door for more happiness.

It...might actually be TSwift.

Me too, Anya. Me too.
