No, you’ll be over here patting yourself on the back for barging into a discussion on debt to gloat that you’re better than those who have debt. Congrats!

Back home in the Caribbean tonight for a white (rum, sands) Christmas. Any other Jezzies drinking sorrel and eating black cake tonight?

It’s pretty great.

I suspect that people see the pain as part of the punishment.

This very literally made me sick to my stomach. I wish I hadn’t read the text.

For the last year, mid-cycle almost every month for a few days. Then stops. Def hormonal and it seems like my options are hormonal birth control or antibiotics. Need to figure out dietary options.

What about BV? If that isn’t the worst thing ever, I have no idea what is.

I did the same move 6 years ago (!!) and still miss walkable DC and all of my friends but cannot consider going back because of the high costs in DC and snow/winter. Hang in there, wrt making friends. People are friendly. Join a club, take a class, do meetups. You’ll make friends soon :)

Good friend of mine with a recent doctorate, recent home purchase, recent engagement had a massive stroke yesterday. She is in her 30s and possibly brain dead. No warning. Her loved ones are beside themselves. Just last week she was looking at wedding venues.

I think this is great advice for the Lifehacker readers who come here to moan about other people’s life choices. Use your money to do what makes you happy. The End.

This Caribbean woman approves. We love our rum recipes and medicines.

Thanks. I’ll be baking, which makes me happy. I wish the same for you. Good that you did what you had to do to get away from the drama. Enjoy your steaks!

I’m sorry to hear of your losses. Wishing you the very best.

This actually sounds like a great idea.

Cheers to you being an awesome mom!

It’s been quite a long time since I lost my mom and some Mother’s Days or birthdays or death anniversaries are ok and others are so sad. I’m having a sad Mother’s Day this year too. I hope you feel better soon. I’m so sorry.

I’m so sorry. It’s such a process getting over that loss. Get help if you need to. I wish you well.

I’m sorry. All the best to you :)

That’s so true. Sorry for your loss.
