My husband is my solace. We need good men and when we find them, we cherish them. Hang in there.

A sense of community makes people happier than material that things, per my obsession with happiness studies’ findings. Stay where you are.

Yep. That’s a way to look at it.

I think her voice and pronunciation (diction?) is odd. It grates on me.

I know, I know. I think I was accidentally an apologist for him. I take it back and will stop doing mental gymnastics to make this NBD.

The sex obsessed pervert seems like it would be his kind of humor though. Maybe he added the swastika just to be over the top in case not everybody recognized the generic costume?

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s good to hear from someone on the other side!

Friday I quit my office temp job to go back to school for nursing. It *should* take 2.5 years and the thought of not having a normal income for that time is making me feel panicky. Our budget will go back to the razor thin newlywed stage we left behind several years ago now. But I have wanted to make this change since…

We had a pebbled floor in our last house and it was super hard to clean. It really held onto grime.

That would be terrifying. Poor Padma! She has always seemed like a fantastic person, as far as I can recall in my years of gossip news skimming.

Lady here: I hate large penises. So much chafing and my cervix gets all banged up (which feels, I imagine, a lot like getting kneed in the balls). Average penises all the way, please and thank you.

Oh. My. God. Macron.

Oh, Sr. Bernal...

Actually, my friend teaches at the school he will attend and its student body is known to be very liberal. We both gossiped about what an interesting choice they made in that case.

So I need to build a capsule wardrobe that is properly middle class and established, but a little Tilda Swinton. I am not a shopper and never have been. Any stores I should check out or pieces to consider? I live in Phoenix and it is almost always hot and sunny. Summer clothes for 75% of the year is normal. Spring and…

So glad to hear it! I have a 1-year old now and your honest post made me make a better informed choice to become a mother and helped me feel less alone during the stressful parts, and I had often wondered how things had gone for you and your daughter since.

How have you been since you wrote this in 2014? Just wondering about how you are.

There is a guy at work with amazing thighs and butt and I have never loved seeing a man in business clothes the way I do when he turns up. We don’t work together and I don’t know him, but his physique brightens my day. Would never want to creep you or him out, but this seemed relevant. Or maybe I’m reaching?

I did a chore for my husband after reading this too! And felt really guilty about behaving petulantly this morning. Boo, me. Get it together, because you never know.

I guess I am just tetchy because the last several articles commenters have been all, “What is wrong with her skin?!?!” And it often looks like mine. :(
