I’m working on gaining weight right now, seven months after abdominal surgery! I just got meds to help with my appetite (I literally have no urge to eat, a side effect of nerve removal, we think) and pancreatic enzymes because I’m not absorbing fat. If you’ve had any malnutrition issues in the past, check into

I love straight icing and will eat it by the cup, but for some reason I don’t eat anything blue. As in, I sort out all my candy to remove the blue bits before eating any. Clearly, we should be eating junk food together so someone can enjoy all my blue!

I have a couple from www.rockstarwigs.com that I like. They seem to be good quality and I can wear them all day, but the straight ones do tangle up some (so does my natural hair, so maybe it’s just me). They have sales constantly and send coupons if you’re on their mailing list

Team Logan here, too! Yay!

I don’t hate Marty at all, but my issue is how he dealt with dating Rory’s friend and making her act like she didn’t know him. The whole situation sucked and every one of them acted stupidly, but it would’ve been much better to just ‘fess up to knowing each other so it didn’t turn into drama later. Although then we

I’m 34 and didn’t really watch the first time but just went through all seven seasons. It’s worth a watch. I don’t think Season 7 is as horrible as everyone says, but if normal GG is 100%, Season 7 is about 75% good to me. Every episode gave me something that I needed to go read/watch - the pop culture references

I wear a 5.5 and love platforms, but agree that platform-less heels seem more professional. That said, being short, sometimes I want that extra height and having a platform feels less stressful to my toes than wearing a really high heel with a flat sole.

Ridiculously expensive, but I love the Algenist moisturizers. The Overnight Restorative is my favorite - I dab a little on blisters when my shoes rub and they heal up super-quickly. My mom and I both have sensitive skin and regular derm appointments and this has been our best bet - no increased breakouts, fewer

Fingermate is great for that! It’s a band that pops open to fit over the knuckle and then locks down to your actual finger size. I have a ring done with one that goes from a size 3 up to about a 6 when it’s fully open. Sorry to sound like an ad, but I love it - it makes me feel more secure because my ring literally

Aw, thanks! We’re both going to get through this with grace (and meds). :)

Best of luck! I’m in my own medical mystery mess right now and I get worried about the the unknowable future, too. I hope you get definite answers and relief soon. *hugs*

The last guy I dated was the same way - I finally kissed him on our third date and he enthusiastically reciprocated. Turns out he was trying not to be pushy or make me feel like he felt entitled to physical rewards for being a gentleman. So yeah, enjoy the sweetness and know he probably wants kisses too!

I help care for my sister. In exchange, my parents specifically looked for a house with a mother-in-law suite for me when we moved seven years ago. It works well for us - I have space and privacy, they have help, and it’s cheaper for everyone. I also don’t love the idea of living alone, so that's a bonus!

Lol. I took a picture of my cat doing exactly this tonight! She has always preferred to use her box when someone is watching because I praise her for being a good kitty, so she routinely follows me into the bathroom to pee with me. She looks up at me and meows once right before she starts peeing so I’ll KNOW she’s

This sounds insane, but my mother swears by rinsing with the amber-colored Listerine every couple of washes. She lets it sit for a couple minutes, then rinses it out. It’s cheap and something that’s not awful to have on hand even if it doesn’t work for your itchiness!

Not in mine, but it's not something I was looking for personally.

My late twenties were awful, dating-wise. I wound up taking about eighteen months and focusing on other stuff, then jumping back in. It let me recharge and get optimistic again. I’m 33 now and can say things are definitely more promising. I love my cat and found a guy who loves cats, too. It gets better!

I’ve got the Breville version of this, and it’s been worth it. I can make brownies, pizza, bundt cakes, stew... it does everything. Right now, I don’t have a full-size oven, so this is my replacement and it takes care of almost everything that I would use a regular oven for. The settings are great, too - it’s set up

Hugs and warm thoughts!

*hugs* I’ve been going through something similar lately, so my heart is with you. Especially in regard to making plans... I hate the feeling when I finally let myself get excited and start planning something and anticipating it and then the rug gets yanked out from under me. It doesn’t make it suck any less, but
