Very good friend of mine had a breakdown of some variety, combined it with drugs and alcohol, and spent our freshmen year of college trying to kill himself. He was at a school five hours from me, and our other friend was seven hours the other way. We spoke to him every morning, every afternoon, every evening, and we’d…

Ya know, I’m not sure. I’m normally just lying awake thinking about how soon I have to be at work and how little sleep I’ve had - I will start paying closer attention, thanks.

I had no idea. I know three relatives with it, but all three were obese, so I just assumed....Good to know! Another thing to nag him about....

Is bad snoring often a sign of sleep apnea? Truthfully I thought that was something that was usually only found in people who were quite significantly overweight. My husband is a champion snorer—the noise has driven me out of the bed on more than one occasion—but as he’s only a touch overweight, I never worried too…

Ha! Very good.

How many of them do you think there are at this point? Is it literally just everyone in the White House except the real hardliners like Kushner and Bannon? (Speaking of Bannon, where is that cirrhosis-laden asshole anyway? What has he been up to in the background where no one is paying attention....?)

Oh my God, I skimmed the Telegraph on my train to work this morning and I’m so gutted that I missed that little boo boo. Hilarious.

Politeness is my default setting when I’m startled. The older I get, the more I realise what a troubling character trait this is!

All that means is we are both in our 30s now, if that helps!

Thank you! I’m seven months out now, and steadily improving, but definitely still don’t feel like myself. I’ll definitely take a look at that website, very helpful :)

Good to know I’m not the only one - I left the office practically shaking from both rage and the sudden concern that maybe he was right and this was all something I’d just made up. Not ideal for a continuing recovery!

Oh man, did you hit the nail on the head with the anxiety thing. I had a massive (and completely out of the blue) seizure and a pretty serious head injury several months ago - major blood loss, chunk of my scalp missing, serious concussion, etc. Oh, and I sprained my neck, just to add insult to injury.

TRL was THE show to watch when we’d get home from eighth grade, circa 1999-2000. I don’t remember being interested in it once we got to high school, which was 2000-2004, and it was certainly gone from anyone’s minds by college.

The Dorothy one made me laugh outloud.

I think it does depend on the type of bed - our main bed has survived all sexual adventures, but the guest bedroom bed has not. Same issue with the slats as you had. Our main bed is quite the sturdy one in a box frame.

Same - when we moved from a furnished rental into our first home (two days after getting married - even with the sensibile relatively inexpensive wedding we had, buying a house and having a wedding within the same week was financial insanity!), we owned literally nothing in the way of furniture. We had both lived…

Shopper of UK-based IKEA, can confirm, missing screws not in European packages - source: the two missing pieces after we put our bed together. Two years in, it hasn’t fallen apart, so maybe we didn’t need those pieces.....or I’ve now jinxed it, and the whole thing is going to collapse tonight when one of us rolls…

I had a friend in college who very seriously considered participating in some medical trial where he’d be infected with (insert miserable disease like malaria or TB here, I can’t remember what it was now) and locked in some CDC quarantine for like 10 weeks while trialling some drugs. He was going to be pretty…

Legitimately just snorted a bit of the water I was drinking reading that. Well done.

That is a much bigger difference than I would’ve expected! Big improvement. Wonder how much that cost him in voice training?
