Poor was probably a bad word choice. But we were not anywhere near rich. My parents were able to spend money on fancy things like vacations by not spending money on things like a house in a safe neighborhood (shootings, fights, and robberies were fairly common. There was a women’s and children’s shelter across the…

I never realized how little we actually had financially until I was older. We lived in a super poor neighborhood but were well off comparably. We owned the house and my parents are both artists, so everything was very tastefully decorated and arranged. My dad had a great job with the state so we always ate well and…

Can you ask them to hurry up?

OMG we did too! Their teams all had lawyer/judge parents. We had an artist, a grocery store butcher, and some other blue-collar parents. Also we were all female and absolutely destroyed the all-male private schools.

Went to public school in upstate NY my entire life up until college (only because I got a great scholarship.. thanks to public school!)

I’m guilty of sending a series of rapid fire texts when having an animated conversation. My friends hate it, maybe we should switch?

I was seeing a guy who consistently spelled definitely as “defiantly” and it drove me INSANE. He also uses it all the time and I recently saw a post on Facebook where he did it. I’m supposed to see him again soon for the first time in 3-4 months, can I mention it?

I’m an Aquarius as well and my evil ex was a Gemini. This makes a lot of sense.

I’m the Director of Digital Marketing for a multi-million dollar company. If one of my staff subtweeted from our account about our boss I’d either reprimand them or fire them. I wouldn’t shut down the entire channel of communication for the whole company, because that’s stupid. And petty.

Shiny Leggings in purple for Mardi Gras and a pink dog hoodie for my pup Roux. Both important and necessary items, natch.

Not even his own desk!

The good old days when she lost :(

<3 In my one bedroom apartment I have a stack of books on just about every table, two bookshelves, and I'm currently reading a book that's got four books in it. Book people are my people.

Don’t forget racism and misogyny!

This sounds like a similar case to this story: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/child-called-it-dave-pelzer/1100623090?ean=9781558743663

I’ll be 30 soon and can’t find a relationship to save my life. Not even a short one. I miss the intimacy and having someone to talk to when I get home. I miss the feeling of touching another human - not even in a sexual way - more than once a week.

What if all my friends are in pretty great LTRs? The only ones who have had awful divorce/cheating stuff happen to them got new boyfriends in like 30 seconds.

I got the “give them a chance!” thing a lot as well, and so I did. Which had led to some of the most awkward and uncomfortable dates/run ins later I’ve ever had.
