Ten years ago, I was at one of the lowest points of my life. I was a design professional in a dead industry == long term unemployment during the recession. (From which I’ve yet to financially recover from but doing better than some).

Does any one suffer from a similar problem as Paul Rudd?
I often describe myself as a middle aged chubby lady - but the fact is that, I pass for mid-30's, easily. I am single and childless by choice/default...and have aged slowly as a result. I also possess youthful genes, my mother also looks at least a decade or two…

naps, wine and hot bubble baths in more or less that order...

Yes, being called the ‘homewrecker’ even tho ‘he started it’, is my biggest fear.(he did and avoided speaking about his wife in the sort of way that people often mention their significant others for at least the six months of my involvement in the project). I work in a small industry and the niche I’m in is even…

Love the kitty photo btw !

#1 - We have had discussions about boundaries, and she’s been pretty accepting. The latest crisis has had her flying to a foreign country to rescue her adult (young) daughter … it’s tough to watch, more than anything. Thankfully she does have a lot of community and family support, but we definitely are going to have a…

He’s not my direct PM, thankfully, rather we’re a bit on an equal level as we both report directly to client in our respective roles and I only see him every other week in person. But yes, I fear that it will affect my relationship with my boss, my client and his fellow PM’s in his company that I work with on other…

Two major life conundrums, I’d like to hear peoples thoughts.

OMG thank you for posting this!

You know, they are great people. Kind and generous for the most part, well educated and smart and honest...but also kinda bonkers crazy. (one friend is seriously neurotic and so desperate to be in a relationship in her 40s that she’ll date anybody and the last serious relationship she had the man has turned out to be…

The tunnel is pretty cool! I  know a lot of my friends are very dismissive but I use Aurora *a lot* to go north and south, so I don’t have much of a choice - but I happen to love big civil engineering projects so have definitely geeked out on that. 

I’m in LQA so I can get out and about by foot pretty easily, and down to work. I even walked up to Upper Queen Anne yesterday and it was a nice if a little treacherous walk. (Then I took a four hour nap -oops!- when I got home).

Ok, good to know that ‘microdosing’ doesn’t mean it you can take it at anytime.

Could you tell me a bit more about how you microdosed? Like, was it in a pill or liquid form? How did it affect your energy? I’ve only done ‘shrooms a few times in my misspent college life - and my chief complaint is that it kept me up all night. Or at least, I had trouble going to sleep when I wanted too and at least…

Anyone look up and around at their friends and wonder why you are friends with them?
I do love my friends but sometimes...

In other life’s challenges for me: any one starting to go through perimenopause and has cystic acne? I’m almost 48 and I have continuous breakouts with at least one (small) cystic pimple every few…

the duke took the photo according to the wiki!!!!

Huh, I currently have no curtains/blinds in my living room...and I probably won’t until this May. Doesn’t bother me at all.
I live on the second floor of a small apartment building in a dense-ish city neighborhood. I live in the middle of a courtyard that is street facing and you can see my ceiling and that lights are…

Um, I’ll have what she’s having...
