Any Jezzies out there who’ve quit drinking or are thinking about it? I haven’t been around in a while, but I wanted to pop in because I’m stoked that I haven’t had any booze in 5 months! So far I’ve lost 15 pounds and saved a couple thousand dollars. If you’re thinking about it, check out the stopdrinking subreddit.…

I’ve been working on academic-year contracts for the past couple of years, meaning I don’t get paid over the summer, and it’s rough. I get through every year but run down most of my savings—i.e., I never seem to get ahead. That will change with my next job, but it’s definitely depressing to be in my late 30s and feel…

My mother is 80 and still wears shorts in the summer. 

I hate to break it to Gwyneth, but like everything else, it’s a function of having good genes. And there’s some arbitrary rule floating around out there that women over 40 shouldn’t wear shorts. For some people, myself included, no amount of exercise will ever change the look of their legs whether we’re 20 or 60.

I literally can’t imagine how (much more) awful high school would have been if Facebook were around then. Thanks for this...nostalgia?

Going by the emojis, I figured their love smelled like weed and cotton candy. Would that be terrible? Amazing?

you can see anything you wish in those clouds if you look long enough, hannah.

BDE means “big dick energy”-a sort of understated confidence. In case I’m the only one who didn’t know that.

I know I’m being extra right now, but I can’t even enjoy dirtbag. I feel like this is election night all over again.

or miss tasse?

I think she knows her days are limited and is trying to find her relevance somewhere else. The problem is, she’s really not very articulate and people only pay attention to her because of her ass photographs well.

“I would just like to live in real time a little more.”

I don’t have any advice but I’m picturing you with a head full of scrunchies. And I wish you luck and love.

I know I’m in the early throws of divorce, but I can’t imagine ever dealing with dating, I pretty much lucked right into my one and only relationship that lasted 15 1/2 years.  I’m mid-30's and also have a young kid.  I’m really feeling the loss of having another adult human around, the loss of companionship, but I…

I’m in a similar sitch in a big city (shy, mostly women-centered hobbies) and in my lurking on dating sites, I’ve come across the profiles of several men I’m acquainted with. It’s made me pause. I’ve been joining groups on Meetup because it seems like a good way to get myself psyched up to try online dating. Honestly,…

Hey, I’m sorry I don’t have any advice on the dating issue, I was wondering if you might have some advice for me? I have a friend who is going to school currently to become an addiction counselor, and while her her is in the right place, I’m trying to figure out how to tell her, she’d be shit at it. Any time we hang…

I have a friend who used a non-identifying photo of herself and explained the very good reason she didn’t have a photo up and that she would send one for those interested. That probably won’t work on Tinder but it worked for her on OKC.

I finally went and got trained at this local nonprofit that I’ve been meaning to start working for. Now I can go in at any time and volunteer. I did an hour’s worth of work there after the training, and now I feel like I’ve done something worthwhile to help others. I’m proud of that. Academia has such a way of making…

I don’t have first hand experience but from a few of my friends who were in similar situations (minus the hair, but small pool, 30s, small town, worked in a big institution that meant potentially running into community members frequently on dating sites). They managed to successfully date and find partners by either…

Never forget.
