And yet those same fates happen just as often to people who are married and have children. I think it would be a lot worse to be sitting there alone in the nursing home knowing your immediate family doesn’t care about you.

You hit the nail on the head. I’m in the exact situation. I would love to be in a relationship and to have children. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to meet someone. I’ve been single for three years and I’m 35 - I’ve done the singles meetups, eharmony, Tinder, new hobbies, etc. There is NOTHING wrong with ‘wanting’…

Hi everybody! I’m drinking a vodka lemonade with watermelon pieces and it’s delicious. This new Pixel, when I typed “I’m drinking a” it filled in “lot”. I heart my new phone

Hey guys. You are the best.

YES. Gilmore Guys. They’re really funny. The first season is a little rough because they were figuring out how to do a podcast, but it was worth going back to the beginning!

I also pick Logan out of the three! Finally, someone to agree with!

I can’t WAIT for this! My husband is already making fun of me for it but I don’t care. I DON’T CARE.

I have been listening non stop to the Gilmore Guys podcasts while waiting for November, and it’s so interesting to hear their perspective on Jess. He was always my favorite, but watching now as a 32 year old rather than a 17 year old, it’s crazy to realize how much of a jerk he is to Rory. I hope he has really made…

get outta here with your extra vowels. labor day is about BOGO sales at the mall, grilled meats, and the last visit to the pool before they close for the season. pfft. this ‘Murica!

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Not alone! I am currently pregnant after multiple miscarriages. We haven’t really had an option to tell our families, becuause my parents (who are divorced) have been swanning off to other countries and generally not available and my husband’s family are not in our town.

Side note: With my first pregnancy I was shouting it from the rooftops at 8 weeks, only to hear no heartbeart at 12 weeks, so there may be some sort of unintentional superstition at play.

BEAUTY THREAD!

It’s my birthday! And I fed a tiger today!

Crap, I’m late! I hope this doesn’t get too buried because...

Finally someone has done the right thing.

Ella Minnow Pea: a progressively lipogrammatic epistolary fable.

Had colon cancer last year. Surgery, no chemo, no radiation.

Grad school with two young children is hard. Very hard. I was coping. We recently found out that my husband (military) is being transferred to another state. While we can probably make it work so that I don’t have to quit my program, it is still very stressful. I feel like I’m at the limits of what I can handle.

A few months ago, I posted here about health issues I was having. I finally saw a rheumatologist, and, yes, I do have a disorder. I have the test results, and they point toward something fairly rare, but the symptoms all fit what I’ve been going through.
