They all taught gym. Gym where the only physical fitness that mattered were group sports. 

Despite living in mostly liberal land, my sex ed comprised of ‘You will get an STD or get pregnant if you have sex’, one day of ‘born again virgins’ who drew a diagram of a mountain where ‘holding hands’ was at the top and sex was a craggy bunch of rubble at the bottom, with things like ‘french kissing’ and ‘oral sex’…

Donkeys (and Mules) are my favorite animals. They are simultaneously sassy and stoic and I love them. 

I do love me some Nightly Crouton.

I mean, you can get UTIs without going from one hole to the other in the wrong order. But generally MDs like to wait to see if you’re a UTI prone human being before jumping on the antibiotics ship.

I also question why they are so on about UTIs. I’m a very UTI prone human being—I have to do a lot to keep from getting them (pee, hydration, pre- and pro-biotics, excess vitamin C, all sorts), have a urologist, all that jazz. But even before I got everything under control, I didn’t get a UTI every time I had sex, nor…

They are great for some very specific things—the longer length dresses being a major one. Almost all of my ‘formal outing’ dresses are from ModCloth because they cater to my body shape and have those longer lengths.

It makes such a horrid sound, which is I think the worst of the whole bit.

I used to work at a historic site where many many people died really quiet awful deaths. Awful enough that the people weren’t even buried onsite because it would have been too awful for the still alive soldiers to have to mentally deal with on a day to day basis.

And if we’re supposed to do something ‘actionable’ how about the couple that spent $$$ on having a small army of wedding people (my general term for groomsmen etc) could have had fewer wedding people and instead donated money to various First Nation’s women’s causes, a group that does face serious sexual abuse issues.…

That was also them. They wanted instant family. Poor choices abounded. 

Preach.

My sister in law has a goldendoodle, and they got the dumbdumb-ness of the golden, and the neurotic behavior of a poodle.

I know a few, unfortunately bred by cut-rate breeders looking to make $$, and they are neurotic and health problem riddled. Which speaks more towards the breeders than the dog, but the roll of the dice of ‘well we could get both of their good qualities, or we end up with all the bad qualities of both breeds. Guess…

My sister in law got a goddamn doodle from a cut-rate breeder. She paid at least $800 for the thing. The person bred the dogs to make money in their backyard. Sold them as ‘hey this dog will be smart! and fun! and great with kids! because it’s a doodle and a retriever!’

My uterus is full of IUD and loving it. But I hope your uterus is safely, and healthily sans baby over the weekend.

If only there was a timeline for grief. Even if her relationship was completely benign otherwise, people would be on her for whatever decision she made.

I’m stepping WAY back to just give this time to settle. Finding a moisturizer was the top billing since my skin is super dry. So I’ll stick with the most basics for a bit and see where I’m at in a month. 

I picked up some La Roche stuff at ulta today (a cleanser and a moisturizer. Just the basics until this gets sorted) from everyone’s recommendation.
