We barely fit in the full size bed. I would love nothing more than to get a queen size, but that extra 6 (I think?) inches is just enough that it won't fit in our tiny Bay Area apartment.

MAM totally lives in the SF Bay Area. I can feel it.
We have a full size bed and we each have a twin size comforter. I fold mine in half on my side of the bed. The husband usually leaves his as is after he gets out of bed (after I leave for work). When company comes over I just fold them both in half on our respective sides.
Separate blankets for life! Seriously. The husband is a blanket thief (he even sometimes steals my separate blanket). He also gets so hot and sweaty that I can't stand being under the same blanket as him.
I did not have sex on my wedding night. It was 80 degrees, 100% humidity and our second floor apartment did not have A/C.
I learned everything from my mom. Single mom, 2 kids. Buying new clothes wasn't an option if the old ones could be fixed to last longer.
I wonder if it depends on where people grow up? I grew up in the Midwest and know how to mend my clothes, sew buttons, use a sewing machine and even do my laundry! When I moved to the Bay Area I quickly realized not everyone knows how to do these things and now my friends pay me to mend their clothes for them.
About 5 years ago I got the Ebola virus tattooed on me..... because I'm a nerd who find virology to be a fascinating hobby.
My husband doesn't even say he's married on his facebook. My friend who care about this kind of thing can't believe I would allow that. Worse yet... his picture is of him and another woman! Together! The horrors! How can I stand it? She said she would pitch a fit if her husband tried to pull something like…
Of course. I was just teasing. Husbot and I joke about going to the "divorce store" all the time. There's a document shop down the street from us that will file the paperwork for the low price of $399.99. $499.99 if kids are involved!
I guess I should just go to the divorce store and call it a day. We disagree, sure. But we never argue.
My friends who had kids disappeared because they assumed if I don't want kids I don't want to be around their kids. Not a fair assumption, but I understand it.
This is an interesting point. I've never thought about my choice to be childfree to be part of my identity. If somebody asks when my husband and I will have kids my response usually involves something far too personal about my IUD. Usually it makes that person so uncomfortable that they drop it. A personal…
I guess the Bay Area is just a magical place. :-)
Ah. I remember when my mom told me I would neeeeever find a job as an accountant. I have 10 tattoos (I can hide all of them with a crew neck and long sleeves if I ever had to), septum piercing and ears gauged to 1/2inch.
I have all 7 seasons on DVD as well. But think of the convenience! No changing discs 6 times in one day because you decided that it is the day you just want to lay in bed and watch Gilmore Girls all day... until your partner comes home and sees that you're still in bed and gives you a look of such disappointment…
It took about a year for my cramps to subside. It's taking longer for some of my friends. But we all forget how bad it is after our periods are done, until it's time to bleed again.
Definitely find yourself a second opinion! I went to my Dr and told her I was considering the copper IUD, after much research. We talked pros and cons while she was doing my exam. Once she got up there she said "since you just finished your period it's the perfect time to insert. Do you want to do this today?" Less…
I came here to point out the same thing. Thank you!!
Dammit. I didn't get that memo.
