I had this in my head the whole time I was reading that.

How dare you demand we put in effort! 

Lol me toooo!!! I’ve fallen asleep in mris, and I LOVE getting dental work. Even though I also hate that I have to have dental work, the experience is fine. First of all, that seat is so damn comfortable. I was at the dentist the other day, and I kept thinking I should just try to find one on craigslist. Plus then you…

And the inside of the tube is smooth and white, so when you’re in it, your eyes can’t focus and tell how far away it is. Gah

My first reaction to this whole thing was that Clive Owen needs to fire his agent. He is an utter and complete smokeshow and the thought of him playing some Arkansas slimeball is upsetting.

She just had big boobs. I’m a size 12 on a good day, but have small boobs. Everyone thinks I’m a lot skinnier. 

Oh I’m good, but thanks. I have regrets, but I’m not dwelling on them most of the time. I’ve been meditating for a while now, actually, and it’s definitely one of the best things I ever did for myself. 

Good for you. I don’t have kids, but I can hear myself being shite to my partner sometimes. Those lessons and realizations can be rough, but the fact you’re recognizing it and doing something about it is something to be proud of. 

Well yes, I get that. But the whole “at least it wasn’t...” thing is telling someone their feelings or concerns are unwarranted or overreacting. That’s how I read that.

Yup. It basically gaslighting. 

I scored a 7, but I felt like it could have been an 8 or a 9. Which pisses me off. Basically, things happened in my mom’s childhood that she pushed onto my brothers and me at a young age, when we were too young to understand or deal with it, and then we were made to feel bad about it that we “had it so easy”. We…

The only footage of it that we’ve watched is the Snoop Dogg Kevin Hart show summarizing the day’s events. Pretty funny, and shockingly informative. 

With all the antivaxxers, this shit is just going to keep morphing into something else we won’t be able to stop. I mean I really hope not, but it’s starting to feel like that.  

Has Mariah made a public comment about this? Because that is the reaction I want to see.

Oh definitely better to learn how to face it and deal with it, for sure.

Oh god I just laughed so hard I had a coughing fit. Thank you. I needed that! 

Whelp, that quiz was depressing as hell. Also none of this takes into account epigenetic trauma.

I get that. My triglycerides went up like crazy from the estrogen, but they were crazy low before so it’s not an issue... yet.

That was happening to me for years... damn perimenopause. I got on antidepressants last year, and then hormones this year. I feel great- not over the top great, but like holy shit I feel normal!

Sending you love and hugs BusPass. Someone else mentioned therapy for your daughter, and maybe you could try that too? Scary times for a momma, you need to take care of yourself too. Hopefully her care will improve... any chance of switching hospitals or at least doctors?
