I am so mad right now.

This is the weirdest thread. Your original comments did get my hackles up because of the way you described being so much better than women who have bridal showers, but also... bridal showers make me uncomfortable. So much money being thrown at yet another aspect of what is already a huge extravagance, plus having to…

This makes me think of an article last year about a boy in far north Alaska who killed a whale during a hunt. It was a huge deal in his village- a traditional coming of age ritual and also a way to feed everyone in the village for months (food is so expensive the further you get from the lower 48 because of import…

I dk, those photos did not strike me as scary at all, just old. The blackface one was bad, but because of what it stands for, not that it looked particularly haunted. 

Agreed. I felt like I had been violently shoved after reading that. I understand needing to talk about your last trauma or wanting to share the worst thing that happened to you, but that was so horrific I had to physically step away from the computer. Awful situation, but very much not in the spirit of the post and…

Why are you bitter? It’s just for fun. 

I truly can’t imagine how hard it must be to maintain a relationship after someone you loved dies. It’s not surprising they broke up generally, given the whirlwind nature of their romance, but after Mac Miller’s death, it was inevitable.

Perhaps, but given my low dosage and continued conversation and appointments with my doctor, I am convinced that that is not the problem here. Especially as lexapro in particular is known for extreme withdrawal symptoms. You don’t have to cut off abruptly to experience withdrawal. I actually worked in mental health…

Unfortunately I have already spoken to my doctor and he believes it is normal and I just have to power through it. As for titrating, I did so over the course of six weeks, so it’s unlikely to be that. 

Thanks! I’ll definitely try the tea.

Thanks. It’s been strange what’s been difficult - I took a shower this evening as opposed to the morning and I couldn’t even manage that long enough to do more than clean myself and rinse my hair.

Hi, I know I’m in the grays, but if you see this, I’d greatly appreciate any answers or comments anyone happens to have.

I graduated from my graduate program last year but still get University emails. We got one on Thursday acknowledging the difficulty of the news the last week and offering sexual assault resources for those who needed it. I told a friend of mine who is a professor at a different university how much I appreciated the…

My parents met because she was a paralegal at the law firm where he was an associate. She used to hang out in his office all the time because she had a huge crush on his tall, blonde English officemate. How she instead ended up with the short, dark Italian is up for debate, but they’ve been together for 38 years,…

Dude. That aggressively doesn’t work for everyone. I eat about 1200 calories a day, up to 1500 when I run (which is 3-4x weekly). I’m active, I’m heakhty, I eat very well. I cannot lose weight. I’m not actually that large, but I gained a lot of weight in law school and in the three years since, have been unable to…

I pretty much agree with you. As someone with a half sister on my dad’s side where we have a decade age gap, she’s just my sister. The rest doesn’t matter. I guess if we never had spent time together or if she’s started spewing hateful things about me then I might add the “half,” but I definitely agree that most half…

NYC- we say on line not in line (for when you’re standing on a queue... in a queue?) and apparently this never fails to throw non-new yorkers off.

Has anyone recommended Tarte BB cream yet? I fucking love it as a foundation- it’s super light and blends easily with moisturizer, but it also seamlessly covers uneven spots

I was watching last night with a group at a bar downtown and was trying not to get discouraged when the results for Biaggi and Zellnor were called. People in our group were ecstatic.

Me too. I’m sad Williams didn’t win, but I’m glad I got to exercise my voice and show the party that we care.
