Nah, she outgrew such presidential behavior years ago.

That was bananas. I hope he takes all the feedback to heart, because every word of his letter had my creep alarm going off.

I agree. I love both versions, but the Iron and Wine version is just beautiful.

I just went back to check, and it was actually Captain Awkward. Oops!

Oh my gosh, I’m awfully embarrassed. It’s Ask A Manager, it’s basically a career advice blog. I was reading an article in the archives the other day and saw a comment with a username that’s similar to yours, and I just thought I’d shout out. Sorry!

Hey, off topic but I’m assuming you’re the same goddess that comments on AAM? I lurk there, and I always want to wave like a nerd when I see your name over there, but figured I’d do it here instead. So hi!

Such Great Heights, covered by Iron and Wine. It’s my favorite song, and he told me once that he knew he wanted to marry me when he saw the look on my face when I played the Postal Service version for him the first time.

I’m dying, from both laughter and high cholesterol. Bring back #cotd

Same. It’s safe so long as you don’t mess with the yolk! I heard of a guy who messed around with yolk, and now he’s melted on the floor!

When Daughter was about 4, she pushed Son (2) down. I came running from the kitchen to see why he was crying, and she started dancing and singing really loudly in an attempt to distract me from the person who had cause to point the finger at her.

I just can’t get enough of that sweet, sweet ova. I think the kids are calling it Shells these days...

Just saw this, but thank you! ❤️

Bless your heart

Aww, thank you, you’re very sweet ❤️. I don’t always feel so awesome, but I feel I have some pretty relevant experience in this area, as I’ve been on both sides of your dilemma.

That does suck, but I agree with your friend. Mental illness is an explanation, not an excuse, and she’s treating you badly. She’s also allowing her friends to treat you badly. Her husband sounds awful, and it sounds like he’s pulling her along on the bus to Awful Town, but she did get on the bus by herself.

Cut her lose. I’ve had relationships with friends going back to kindergarten that I’ve had to abandon because they weren’t working for me anymore. Aside from our kids, no one should take more from us than they give, if its hurtful or stressful. It would be one thing if you saw an end in sight, but it doesn’t seem like…

I have to admit I don’t know, as I use the app, but if you post your question in there someone may be more helpful. Sorry!

Here ya go!

I absolutely agree. I’m disappointed that this concept was so flawed that it silenced many women of color from the outset. What was the point of doing it, then?

I once told a guy I wouldn’t see him anymore, and he ranted at me about how “gracious” he had been to “take a chance” on a single mom. I just look at it as, anyone who sees our kids as a liability is a bullet dodged when they inevitably fuck off. Still, sorry you’ve had to deal with it too. Props to all the single…
