I’m sorry Lauren. I know what it’s like to lose something that formed you. Grief is not unreasonable.

Kiki’s Delivery Service is open for business!

Ruth Bader Ginsbark. Dress for the job you want. ✌🏼

Until we have more women and more people of color holding high office (& high level positions in corporations) our laws and our conduct will not change.

Eh, if you want to keep the friendship it’s worth a shot. Better to be emotionally honest, that’s supposedly what friendships are all about. You can phrase it nicely, I thought the script I provided above was fairly gentle. Also there’s like a 2% chance that the friend really doesn’t realize how much it is, and maybe…

If she tries that and loses the friend instead of ghosting the friend, then nothing really is lost in the end AND she’ll be doing the rest of the people in her friend’s life a favor/maybe make her a bit more self-aware. Though, reading between the lines, it looks like that would be a huge uphill battle for the…

Uhh, unless I missed something, no where in the letter did LW1 mention telling her friend that she’s tired of the kid talk. Why not try that first before ghosting her? I mean yes, the friend should absolutely know better on her own, and if LW1 is done with the friendship that’s totally her prerogative. But why not…

That is a PERFECT line!

LW1: Speaking from LOTS of experience here, anyone who treats your medical emergencies as an opportunity to go full throttle “everything must be about me!” is not your friend. Let her go.

I do, too. She has a right to know and decide if she is OK still being married to him. As far as I know, none of the steps are “make some else’s decisions for them.”

“Soon after my wife and I were married, 4 years ago, I had sex with a woman at a club in Panama where I had a work assignment for a month. I promptly forgot all about it until I started the Sex Addicts Anonymous program last year.”

I’ve quickly learned (from Captain Awkward: go there right now if you’ve never been, I have grown so much as a person and a “bitch) that having a “script” of responses takes a lot of the pressure off. Next time potential FIL says something racist, look him in the eye, let the silence become just a bit uncomfortable,…

I have a reason to celebrate! After 5 years of waiting for The Asshole to fix the divorce papers he wanted me to sign, I went ahead and filed for divorce myself, back in June. This week, the judge signed the decree after The Asshole didn’t respond to the notice he was sent.

Chocolate covered gummy bears....I am pregnant, and I suddenly want that so badly I could cry.

Is there any thing left in this world that we can enjoy without guilt of immense damage and suffering?!

The second season was awful mostly because the second book was awful. It was such a turnaround from the raucous Highlander universe of the first season; the second season and book were then thrust into 18th century France which turned out to be boring and stilted and made Claire and Jamie hate each other. I stopped…

They never had children bc she had miscarriages :’( I absolutely adore Vivien Leigh as an actress and for the struggles she endured being bipolar before people really understood what that meant. She also contracted TB while working for the USO in North Africa. She never recovered fully and it’s eventually what caused…

I hope it has a different tone than Feud and doesn’t try to milk Leigh’s life for campy drama and salacious Hollywood gossip. She struggled with serious mental illness and I want to see that dealt with compassion and nuance.
