Anybody want a pic of a happy Corgi in a bathtub? Darwin says hi.

I’ve had a pretty rough couple weeks

Ok, here’s my story from the last 24 hours. I woke up at 5am on Saturday morning with central crushing chest pain (as a nurse, my mind went unfortunately went directly down the heart attack route; get an ECG, troponin levels etc.). Ambulance came, paramedics did an ECG, started GTN and aspirin, got an IV line in and…

Y’all?

Does anyone here use a cat stroller? My new kitty arrives October, and I really want her to be a good traveler, go on adventures with me and my dog Mac. I bought a sling specifically made for carrying cats, small pets, but I’m thinking of getting a stroller for longer walks, urban adventurinG.

Oh, there is definitely a hierarchy. At the top there are books that are so good I need a minimum of two copies—one to lend/put post-it notes in/read beside my bed, and one to simply have because I need this book if all of the books in the world except for my own private library are annihilated.

Is tuition cheaper if I watch from the corner of the room...

That’s one of the reasons I love old-school web forums so much: You don’t need the witty response immediately; you just need it eventually, & it still has the same effect.

This has been the worst year. My mom died in February, yesterday I lost my job, my mother-in-law is in the hospital, my sister is going through some hard times. I want to refocus on the good in my life but it’s so hard right now. Tell me something that’s good and happy, please.

I love that Ben Ben got adopted! 

Shelter Catstravaganza!

Yeah, the instantaneous witty rejoinder is a rare and beautiful thing! I still think with pleasure of one of the few times I managed one:

My town’s theater has an end-of-season awards ceremony.

Also, a question for anyone in Menopause corner, did you find that most of the time you were in no Labido City punctuated by periods of My Clit is always on Fire? I find this to be stupidly annoying. Please, clit, pick a GODDAM LANE. I had the nightmarish fluctuation for a year, everything died off for about a 2 and a…

Shelter Cat Update!

Hi everybody! This week ! will start out with a small brag and then ask for advice. After months of trying to do planks and barely being able to hold them for a few seconds, I can now hold a plank for a minute with only a couple of knee drops. Yay me! My friend gave me two massive squash, 1 zucchini(courgette) and one…

Nutshell updating:

Still not in the flat, it feels excruciating to still be having delays, but I’m so very grateful to be able to consider living by myself. Naked Thursdays, everyday!

I’m anxious about returning to work in a school where the kids can’t or won’t observe basic hygiene or social distancing...but I’m…

Or maybe he was off dicking around with a woman or women who weren’t difficult to love, while also not wanting his marriage to end. We get zero intel as to what their intimacy situation was or whether her mother and father had discussed it, which is probably because LR doesn’t know. If that facet of the relationship…

That poor woman. I cannot imagine.
Situations like this make me wish I still believed in prayer. 

In the case of Audrie Pott, ‘allegedly’ needs to be removed from your report. There is no allegedly about it.
