Pretty sure the past 24 hours has been way too stressful regarding political news. However, I got good news on the pet-related front and it turns out the dog we thought had some potentially life threatening organ enlargement last week has none at all. So for a bit of good, I’m sharing our Miracle Dog Buckley.

I’m so sorry to hear that your cousin was such an ass to you. I’m also sorry to hear about your diagnosis of endometriosis, as I know that battle all too well. Good luck in your pregnancy!

Thank you for writing all of this out. After I learned about my infertility, we explored both IVF and adoption at first to see which might be better for us. Once I had my hysterectomy and adoption became our only option, we spent a long time considering what we wanted in our lives and have decided that we are happy…

Not just based on this post. I spent some time on her site and find that I agree with many of the positions she stands for, which is kind of the point of elected officials. I’ll still do more research as the primaries get closer, but she is currently my preferred candidate.

I hadn’t yet had a chance to review the candidates, but I would have likely voted for Evers as well. I definitely wasn’t planning to vote for Soglin.

Thank you for posting this. There are a bunch of people running in the Democratic primary in Wisconsin and I hadn’t heard of her yet. I’m so glad that I did, because she’s earned my vote.

For what it’s worth, I think the idea of doing some practice interviews is a good idea. Or even just brainstorming with someone who you know who regularly participates in job interviews. You can some of your normal answers by them and get feedback on those responses and how to tweak them to give them a more positive…

I used to be one of those call center people selling individual health insurance. I managed to last in the company just under two years, but part of that was because I eventually earned a promotion to working with independent agents who sold the product instead of getting the calls directly. The first person’s account…

You can watch it on YouTube!

I had to go to the article and check and I’m a fellow leftie with the “thumb-wrap” as well. I used to hold my pencil more like the “correct” version years ago, but I developed a large writing callus (that still exists today, though it’s pretty minimal now) and it just wasn’t comfortable, so to my ring finger the…

Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that. My husband is already looking at new cars, but at least we would only have the one payment.

I like that one, though it made me think of the line from the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend song “I’m a good person” which goes “newsflash, fuckwads, I’m a good person.” Or maybe I just have that song stuck in my head.

Those macaroons, both edible and glass, look fabulous!

It can get very discouraging if you can’t make that big of a jump! I know I ended up feeling like a failure at first. Then I chose to look at the program as more of a starting point and just kept making adjustments until I figured out something that would work for me and keep me going.

Oh man, I totally know how that feels!

How long have you been doing the C25K thing? I started out running doing that and still run in mainly intervals because every time I build up my endurance I always end up derailing my progress somehow (usually a surgery or sprained ankle).

She’s at least picked out a yarn! She also will appreciate whatever I make her, unlike my sister.

Those sound lovely. I’m excited to see the pictures.

That’s wonderful!

As someone who has endometriosis, I wish more people were willing to talk about the fact that they suffer from this condition so that others won’t think it’s shameful. However, the language used really does feel rather TMI.
