GORGEOUS

That is so like a dog, isn’t it? Congratulations, anyway! Here’s to a long, doggy lifetime of wondering what you got yourself into, and why you didn’t get yourself into it sooner.

Honestly, this reads entirely like a biochemical problem, not a ‘bad mom’ situation.

OMG so cute! My rescue pooch sends your rescue pooch kisses. What is her name? Mine is Sampson, we didn’t change it since he was called Sampson the whole year he was in the shelter.

When my grandfather got really sick at the end of last year and we were basically waiting for him to pass I started having dreams about my grandmother. It was very strange. Mostly because I never met my grandmother. She died about a year before I was born. It sort of felt like she was saying “it’s okay.”

Bad moms don’t fight for their kids. Bad moms don’t go to the cops. Bad moms write off their twelve year olds when they get out of control shitty/crazy. You are the opposite of a bad mom.

I love that! Thank you for telling me :). Hoooow sweet.

*gasp*

Aw, poor thing. But she’ll be fine now she’s in good care!

Oh, I know it’s good - it’s just not good enough for the amount of work it takes. And I’m in Seattle, teaching web design/development classes, so $3500 is certainly all right, but it’s nowhere near even a living wage here - the median wage, if I recall my stats correctly, is $50K/year, and of course in tech, it’s…

I have been anxiously waiting for SNS all week because what a shit fest this has been. I will try to be as brief as possible. As many of you know, I have had some major issues with Big Foot- she waited for me to be vacuuming on NYE and then ran off- to a party in Columbus more than 2 hours away. Last Saturday…

That made me tear up. My dad and uncles all had dreams about their father coming to comfort them after he died, and I’ve been having dreams about my dead grandmother. I don’t know if these are our subconscious’s way of helping itself heal or what, but it is so comforting to know that other people have them too.

Awww... this song played at my best friend’s funeral. He was what is now classified as bi-polar and his family couldn’t afford medication. One day he was alive and laughing, the next he had hung himself in his barn.

We rescued a puppy on Wednesday! And today she had to be put in a cast because a fracture she got in the foster home didn’t heal. :(

This one always makes me laugh

I finally made the decision to have the surgical hardware in my leg/ankle removed in April. It will be about 13 months since my original surgery. I am nervous and anxious about it. There’s always risks to surgery, even something very “standard” like removal of surgical hardware. I’m hoping that removal will help me to…

I need exercise tips! I do yoga, but I’m stuck on inversions. It’s mostly fear, probably, but I’d love to have more upper body strength, particularly my back, shoulders, and upper arms. I don’t have a fancy gym, just body weight and dumbbells. I’m also happy to hear advice from people who used to have a fear of…
