I can’t say that I’d be fine with Ryan, but I’d certainly be less fearful, and the mess would take much less to clean up.

I don’t think Pence is stupid either and I do believe that he’s staying away from outright corruption, but I also can’t shake the idea of someone pulling some strings just making him look like he’s in on it, essentially trying to frame him as a fallguy when shit hits the fan. If Pence is trying to clean and cover up…

I had a thought last night, regarding Pence in this tangled web: What if the plan is to take out administration members one by one, all the way up to Pence. With Pence kicked out, Bannon or someone like Bannon gets the VP spot, and then releases information that forces the hand of the GOP to impeach Trump. Instant…

I actually am writing something of a book at the moment. Right now, it’s just to document my experiences for the Mini Schwa when she grows up, so she can hopefully understand, but I have had thoughts of turning into something more. Besides my dysfunctional childhood, my family has an interesting background of how it…

Tbh, it was fairly tame for my parents. I expected so much worse.

While it wasn’t a wedding, my mom once ended a family vacation a week early, dragging us into the car at 9pm at night for a 12 hour drive home, because she thought that her sister (whose house we were staying at) was silently judging her parenting skills and looking down on her.

My mom once said to me, out of the blue, “You know, I think we ignored you too much as a child. Do you think you might be autistic?” She didn’t even wait for an answer from me.

Ouch! Especially on a day where the couple want to feel special and beautiful.

Be very thankful. At my rehearsal dinner, my dad said to Mr. Schwa, “I wish she was marrying her ex-boyfriend.” After the rehearsal dinner, my mom said to Mr. Schwa, “You deserve so much better then her.”

I don’t know if it’s specifically American or not, but I always thought that it was just a quick run through of the wedding (like who stands where and when) and then a dinner with the two families and the wedding party. My rehearsal dinner was just a family spaghetti dinner at the in-law’s house and then we all went…

I’m not a survivalist, but I have a weird desire to witness and document the end of our time. I don’t have a desire to bring about the end of the world, nor do I want it happen at all. It’s just a desire to see how the story ends, to “read” the conclusion of our time here on earth. But I’m strange.

I’m very much a person who throws caution to the wind, also married to a cautious person, so I get it. It can be tough, sometimes very tough.

Maybe split the difference between the two numbers? Or make some kind of agreement that, unless it is superawesomeonceinalifetime house, you can wait?

First off, I am slightly jealous of your situation. We’re currently in pay down debt mode, so we can buy a better house, and I wish we could put that much away right now.

Anyone else have massive sickness this past week? Mr. Schwa was down for about a week, but it was a slow trainwreck of illness. And it sucked for me, because he insists that he doesn’t whine when sick and he hates it when his patients whine about things that are out of anyone’s control. Yet he can become such a…

Back in my psych ward days, there was a bipolar guy there who came in because of a manic psychotic phase and benzos. He spent a week in the withdrawal wing before coming over to “our” side in psych. I remember two things about him. First was his description of withdrawal, which was horrific, even if he was…

Oh god, that’s going to be 4 years of, “why don’t you just hold in your icky women’s blood until you go to the bathroom? You don’t see me peeing whenever I feel like it!” isn’t it?

The article mentions benzodiazepine withdrawal as well as opiates. Benzo withdrawal is nearly, if not sometimes worse, than alcohol and can cause seizures and all sorts of painful symptoms if abruptly stopped, including death. My guess would be either the benzo withdrawal was the main cause of death, or the…

This guy doesn’t care at all.

These men either have absolutely no concept of procreation or they use weasel words and hope that others have no concept of procreation.
