I work in mental health, and it's very common for people to just feel numb/dull/"nothing" versus feeling "sad" or "depressed." Good luck finding someone that you trust to talk to, and hopefully getting back into yoga helps as well. This time of year can be extra hard for a lot of people since it's so dark and…

My BFF used to live in her building in NYC. I was always bummed I never ran into her or Kate Hudson lol.

To be a NP you have to have a master's degree.

Yeah, the OR was different, and I think L&D. All the other units you were expected to be in uniform at the beginning of your shift.

Yeah, when I was a (unionized) RN we were expected to be at work and in uniform at the beginning of our shift. I think I did sometimes change out of my scrubs while I was still on the clock, but that was mostly because we gave sign-out at 8:00 and weren't allowed to clock out until 8:30. We did get a $180 uniform…

I told my BF, "He REALLY needs to switch to a different self-tanner. It's like he's stuck in 1995."

Welp that makes me feel better about no longer eating dairy. I LOVED the coffee Heath bar crunch and had no idea they'd changed it. One less thing to mourn I guess. (The replacement sounds wretched :/)

Um..... it depends on your relationship. In all of the above it was the bride's idea, because they didn't want to be a burden on their friends. Do you know how open she is to input about the bridesmaids' dresses? Some brides I've know have been VERY set on what they wanted, and others have been more like "I just…

I was in three weddings this year: for one the bride paid for our dresses, and we rented our dresses in the other two (well, in one we all rented them from Little Borrowed Dress, and in the other the bride told us to wear whatever we wanted but it had to be emerald green and floor length, so I did Rent the Runway). …

Eeeeeeeekkkkkk.

WOW. And I thought that the wedding I went to with 13 was bad!! (11 bridesmaids and 2 junior bridesmaids). How did anyone even see the wedding ceremony with that large of a bridal party?!?!?!?

WOW. And I thought my cousin's potluck/BYOB rehearsal dinner was tacky. (It was, but less because it was potluck and more because it was a total shit-show in which the hostess was totally unorganized and the bride ended up in tears because they were asked to go out and buy ice, while the guests/hosts just sat…

I've never been kicked out, but I was "promoted" from house party to bridesmaid. It was weird because it was my childhood best friend and grwoing up she'd always wanted me to be her maid of honor, and everyone thought it was bizarre I hadn't originally been asked to be a bridesmaid. We had grown apart some during…

Thank you for including info about the Trevor Project. I know some of their volunteers and advocates, and it is an amazing organization that I believe it truly saving lives.

It's the "shrimp salad" listed here. I know that Mercer Kitchen also serves it (or at least they did the last time I went there). http://www.jean-georgesrestaurant.com/nougatine-and-…

EXACTLY!!!! If there is an ingredient you are allergic to or despise, don't order that thing. And most certainly do not put effing RANCH DRESSING (which hey, I happen to like as a dip for things like mozzarella sticks) on God's Most Perfect Salad. Stahhhp. Let the chef do his magic.

I've had the salad in that story, and it is GLORIOUS. Putting ranch on it should be a cardinal sin.

OMG I stopped reading just to comment: that shrimp salad at (several) of the Jean-George restaurants with the beurre-blanc and the champagne vinaigrette is the stuff heaven must be made of. I am so missing NYC right now. I would eat that sauce on cardboard and cardboard would suddenly be the most magical tasting…

I just can't today. I need to go back to bed. Does he also suggest we get written consent to KEEP the pregnancy? I mean, what it the father doesn't want the baby. WHAT ABOUT HIM???? I'm so effing tired of being thought of as no more than a baby incubator by these assholes.

Meh. Honestly, as someone who was raised in an evangelical protestant household in the Bible Belt this doesn't really surprise me. The "virgin birth" was never one of the stories I got hung up on when I started seriously questioning my faith. I was way more concerned about things like why a good God would order a…
