Lulu seems way more interesting than any party ;) and she’s a good doggo if she can be around that food tray and not steal anything!

CONGRATS! My best birthday present ever was a pair of boxing gloves and a kind of punch bag, that was attached to the ceiling and the floor, for me to punch away. My ex-fiancé was an asshole but he understood I needed to blow off some steam by punching something. ;)

You know how I feel then. It was great seeing them but 1) the realization they won’t be around much longer and 2) having to say goodbye again - both fucked me up good. When one of them tried to get into the car as we were leaving I just lost it and started ugly crying.

I thought they wouldn’t even remember us, but they did immediately. I handled the week okay but when one of them (the one we raised since he was a puppy) tried to get into the car to come with us when we were leaving I lost my shit.

Greetings from Brazil! I’m currently in São Paulo after having spent a lovely week in the countryside visiting my in-laws and my dogs. We couldn’t take them when we moved to the US and while they live in a wonderful place and are pampered to death, it’s bittersweet as they’re not with us. It was a shock to see how old…

They don’t call it “dirt bag” for nothing.

This, so much this. There’s so much shit in that comment, so many layers of wrong, that it’s difficult to know where to start. The condescension towards women in developing countries (and she probably thinks Africa is a country) is especially gross.

I got myself a computer need who was so socially awkward we had stunted conversations about the weather when we met and started hanging out. He needed a lot of time to relax around me, and it’s still more of an introvert than I am (I didn’t think it was possible). Hang in there, you’ll find someone just as good :)

Yeah, he somehow believes I’m the one who’s a catch. Go figure.

Oh, the night shift. My husband’s been on the night shift since the kids were born. I’d wake up in the morning terrified, thinking I hadn’t breastfed the baby, and he’d roll his eyes and say “of course you did, dummy. I brought the baby over, and you fed her without waking up”. I’ve been a garbage person for a lonnnng…

Our latest dialogue about this:

I don’t have Teigen’s beauty or glamorous lifestyle, but we’re alike in that I’m lucky to have someone like my husband around (patient, selfless, silly, up for whatever), while I think he got the shit end of the straw by marrying me. Stars, they’re just like us!

Yup. Very photoshop. Many smooth. So youth. Wow.

That’s true. You also get to see which teachers are tech savvy or way too into social media, because they treat it like it’s fucking Instagram... As opposed to those who think “oh shit, it’s Friday and I haven’t posted anything, lemme take some pics now”.

Your guy can give Mochi a run for her money. And Amy wins for most curled up tongue:

Not just your head, mine too. For every congressperson or senator that’s positioning themselves as an option for 2020 there’s always someone to pipe in with “oh no, this person is problematic, because in ___ they said ____ and/or did _____, so they’re a terrible choice”.

Pshhh, the Dems are too busy demonizing all of their current choices to be the new face of the party, as no one can measure up to their increasingly stringent standards and purity tests. They have a lot on their plate right now.

The stupidity and pettiness of insurance companies can never be overstated. *Sigh*

Megyn, get with the times, Class Dojo ain’t new. My kids’ teachers have been using it for like 2 years now.

This kind of thing is incredibly popular in Brazil. Most people have already caught on, or the scammers call saying they have kidnapped someone who’s in the house at that moment, but in some cases the criminals luck out and call someone who believes them. Usually elderly people don’t have the presence of spirit to…
