My 4th grade teacher (who taught only so her kids could have free tuition thru high school, yay Archdiocese) used to scream and verbally abuse her students to the point that I vividly remember a number of the “cool” 4th grade boys repeatedly wetting their pants. Her daughter ended up in a psych ward and the other had…

Had pretty good sex last weekend, so my libido seems to be doing okay. That may change soon as I’ve done nothing but stress eat Cheetos and gummy bears since the election. And there was the unfortunate fried chicken skin incident on Sunday, which never needs to be mentioned again.

As someone who’s had their own struggles, I feel for you. Therapy is expensive, meds are expensive and it feels like you’re constantly in a cycle of chronic shit (literally) and bullshit. Maybe I can’t offer anything more than commiseration and Internet hugs, but sometimes knowing you’re not alone is half the battle.…

My sister has something similar. (She literally eats only 4 things and freaks out over the idea of eating anything outside of that). I talked to my own personal therapist about it and she’s recommended my sister see a therapist who specializes in OCD, as it can be that’s what it potentially is and manifests itself in…

I had a similar conversation with my dad this week. He talked about the 68 election when it was the height of the Vietnam war, Bobby Kennedy and MLK had just been assassinated, Nixon elected and he felt the world was ending. He was living in DC at the time and did a lot of protests and marches and he felt better. I…

I’d try removing the seeds from the inside of the fresh tomatoes before roasting (cutting down slightly on cook time) and then giving it all one good spin in the blender when it’s all done.

You’ll love it. I was the opposite end of the spectrum and lost it waaaay too soon, and sometimes I feel like a loser for “giving it away” so recklessly. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t!

Listen to Heather McDonald’s podcast “Juicy Scoop,” specifically the episode with Ashley from the Bachelor (? Idk I don’t watch the show). Heather lost her virginity when she was like, 27 and has great discussions on being “the old virgin” that’s both humorous and super insightful!

As a frequent internet dater, one thing that’s always helped me is to remind myself you never know what’s going on with another person and their life that’s totally unrelated to you. Case in point - I had a broken engagement and everyone was encouraging me to get back on the horse so I finally went on a Match date.…

I always thought I was more of a Bert, but I’m feelin Ernie on this one

Isn’t it though?!

I’m in Minnesota, which I once believed was a Democratic safe haven. Apparently not. Many good thoughts to your friend just across the border, hopefully they know we aren’t all like that.

My small town, Southern father did yell as d-bag was being kicked out, “Y’all better get right with the Lord!” which I loved.

OMFG YOU GUYS A TRUMP SUPPORTER THREATENED TO GRAB ME TODAY!!

I’ve been sticking medicine up her butt all week. Pretty sure I’m not losing in the “good sister” race.

Oh totally. But there comes a point when it’s progressed from “just a phase” to “totally enabling.” How the hell you tell the difference, idk which is why I love my birth control.

My little sister, around the age of 3, suddenly became the world’s pickiest eater. She began refusing milk, all vegetables and all fruit. If it wasn’t pizza or nuggets, she wouldn’t have it. My mother caved, thinking she’d “just grow out of it” and didn’t want to be mean and force her to eat.
