It would have been tough. I know this. Thanks for the reminder. 

You guys have no idea how much your words are making me feel better. You're right. Why should I be the one to comfort him?! 

Yep. Right on time with the itch. 

You’re right. I really wouldn't have had a good life. I know this but needed to hear it. 

You’re so right. That's a great point. 

Thank you :) I needed to hear that. 

I thought a lot about the children and how it would be miserable for them too. 

About 9 years ago my boyfriend broke up with me because his family didn’t approve of his black girlfriend. We’d been together for 5 years. He married an appropriate woman and started a family.

OK. I see. 

Does Streisand’s DNA comment refer to his race or am I reading too much into it? Because WTF?! 

February birthday and 37 here. I don’t like the pressure to organize a birthday party so for the past decade I’ve taken a week of vacation around my birthday and gone somewhere warm. Lots to choose from: Costa Rica, Caribbean, South America, South Africa. I take my partner, best friend, grandma or anyone who can relax…

I’m just struck by how beautiful she looked in that video of her singing. She shouldn’t have messed with such a pretty face. But I won’t pretend that it isn’t sometimes a difficult task to love yourself as a black woman.

You have no job. You were neither elected nor appointed. This is bananas! 

Same except I'm in my mid 30s. I will say that a close friend struggled mightily with depression and came off her meds when she found out she was pregnant. The little guy just turned one and she's never had PPD issues. 

And sometimes bodies don’t do what they’re “supposed” to do. If these women say their bodies aren’t cooperating, I believe them. It's not always about perseverance. I’m glad it’s all worked out perfectly for you though.

I visited this past summer. Was not at all prepared for how expensive everything was. Torvehallerne food market is wonderful. Do find the immigrant neighborhoods for tasty, cheap food.

And Princess Margaret’s shenanigans. And Prince Andrew...

And do you have one for federal contractors who won’t get back pay and are really and truly f*cked?

I’m so sorry. Life can be terribly difficult sometimes. Sending you love and peace. Take care of yourself. 

I find it all incredibly vulgar. But that's supposedly the appeal.
