But, but, but I thought the industry had established that she was too old to play anything other than aunts, moms and the occasional Mrs. Robinson? Now I don’t know WHAT to think!

Finally. Some decent medical advice.

Holy shit, that girl is so strong and brave. That situation is horrifying.

There is such a huge discrepancy between how awesome all of the indian men I actually know are, and how shitty the indian men I read about are.

I think this is a good idea. Very clever in the delivery of its message.

I’m exhausted just looking at that photo. She must be crying and vomiting in the back of her vehicle once the cameras are gone.

I ran around jumping yesteday about corbyn!

Speaking as one overthinker to another, you should let this go. It’s clear from your post that this ten-years-ago ex of yours is still occupying a huge portion of your emotional space, which in turn is causing you to blow a minor interaction all out of proportion. Who cares whether the invite was deliberate? Who cares…

I am just so glad that he told you and got screened. I’m serious. Sometimes it seems like most people in the world forget there are STDs or think some kind of fairy dust is bestowed on them at the marriage ceremony so their partner has no risk. I know so, so many people who cheat and don’t give a hoot about their…

I have a few friends who are social workers and I don’t know how you/they do it. Hats off. You’re contributing more to the world than I ever will.

I had my first episode of severe depression as a 14-year-old. It sucks and I’m so sorry for you and your son. It passed in 6 months, but it was awful. What I wished my parents would’ve done, instead of nothing which was their choice, was to expose me to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Find a therapist who is CBT…

This shadow scares me more....

Thank you for the work that you do!!!!

This is my 21-week-old kitten, Furiosa! I’ve had her about 5 weeks now, after my beloved 11-year-old Hanzo died 2 weeks previously (I absolutely needed a new kitten, but sat shiva for Hanzo so I was able to mourn very intensely). Anyway, she’s awesome and my training of her to be vocal and needy is going very well. (I…

It obviously will depend on the situation, but don’t automatically assume that things will get bad quickly. Most older folks I know don’t even slow down much until the mid-70s.

So, I started college this week and made an A on my first assignment. Doesn’t sound like a huge deal, but it is to me. I graduated high school in 1982, went to college, and partied my ass off for a year. It’s amazing how good your grades can be and how much you can learn when you actually go to class!

Have you tried “Dad, shut the fuck up about my body and my appearance”?

I am sorry to hear about this - it hit me in the heart. My husbands dad has a few issues - early alz being one of them. It is scary and sad and so many feelings. Do you know if they have all their...necessary paper work done? I only ask because I’ve been obsessed lately with getting my and his parents to get all of…

Not a bad week! I worked my ass off, which is fine; I had 3 nice post work things to go to; had some sweet family time; my friend gave me a practically brand new microwave I could never afford to buy new; my cat and daughter are best friends and I had tequila liqueur. Oh, and Jeremy Corbyn won the Labour leadership.

Ha! I’m a social worker in a psych ER... I take a lot of calls from those who are “calling to be admitted.” While I empathize, people demanding to be admitted rarely fit inpatient criteria (for lots of reasons too complicated to go into). This one reminds me of one of my favorites/most frustrating: “I need to be…
