gets around where? you are out of there - go for it or live forever with that “what if” feeling. You are never going to see most of these people again, college is the time to try stuff out.

that all sounds so delicious - especially the smoked pumpkin - do you have a smoker? I miss falafels so much - with my grain-free diet, I am OK with no bread, but I miss falafels and oatmeal :(

Perfect - if it is overrun, you wouldn’t even know I am back there - the best kind of neighbor!

I am an expert mover at this point in my life. By the time I was 13, I had lived in 20 different places (no, not military. don’t ask, and I won’t tell you that my parents were on the lam from the law - ha!). Here are my tips:

She has come so far! She is SUCH a cutie and looks so happy! I am so glad that she is doing well and you will finally be able to get the extra people out of your house and settle down to normal family life. Cheers!

All of my USB drives are finger boards because anything else would be BORING!

See a doctor, and until you do, no more indian food or wine! Sorry I have to be so tough on you ;)

Yay on the graduation - congratulations to both of you!

I am so sorry for your dog’s diagnosis. Sometimes vets will travel to your home for euthanasia, specifically so your dog’s last moments are not how you describe. Ask you vet if they do this or can refer you to someone who does.

Ha! I am still loving this story - it would have been so.much.simpler. for him to give it to your afterwards, or before, or any other time other than literally having to carry it with you (or hide it) while you walked.

I love your story! My friend and I were supposed to be tripping on blotter, but (without my knowledge) he had gotten it from a total dweeb. He handed me something that looked like a square of kleenex & apologized, because he knew better - he should have put our money back in his pocket when he saw what she was…

wait - I just realized there is a bit more to my story - I had really discouraging parents. I was a typical art-nerd in high school; my last 2 years I was in an A/P art program that was geared up towards having students create a portfolio of art that one would use to get into art school. Even though I was completely…

one thing to keep in mind - and it may be depressing to hear/think about because of the cultural “norms” that are forced upon us - not everyone will find someone AND THIS IS OK. Contrary to what Disney has sold us, there is not a prince out there just waiting to sweep us off our feet. It may be something you want to…

go to a sex-positive sex shop and ask questions. I think there are a couple different kinds - some fit over just the shaft, some are meant to go around the scrotum, too. If you don’t have one in your area, try calling Good Vibrations. Good luck!

yes!

that is a great response!

college guys are the WORST - literally, the WORST & you dodged a huge bullet. They sometimes get better as they age.

mmm - those midyim berries sound delicious - like a blueberry with a hint of spice? Do the possums ever leave enough so you ever put them in pancakes?

2nding the showering at night to keep pollen out of the bed & changing the sheets once a week and pillow cases more often, if needed. Also, local honey year-round.

always question the question - *calmly* ask something along the lines of “why would you bring that up?” or “how is that your business?” or “I didn’t realize you were monitoring my weight - what is wrong with your life?” or “did your mother have any children that lived?” (OK that last one may not work with family...)…
