I have a strong tendency to be introvert as well, especially during winter time. I moved back to Germany 2 years ago and have made a total of zero friends here because I find it so hard to make an effort to socialise and find new people. Add to that the rather cold-ish nature of Germans and you have one pretty lonely…

How recently did the SAD start?

My husband and I sell stuff at a farmer's market on Saturday mornings, and afterwards I want to just curl up in a ball. Having to schmooze with people, say the same product descriptions over and over, make small talk...it's so exhausting. Right now I'm buzzed on wine and watching Up...the only thing missing is a fox…

Fuck, thanks for reminding me, I need to start taking vitamin whatever the hell is in sunlight that I don't get because I live in the North West and we get like 0 sun even in the summer, and you can absolutely forget about seeing any in the winter pills. B I think? Is that the one?

I live in an area (and work in a job) where I come into contact with a lot of famous people.

Yeah, gawker commenters are pretty much a keg short of a brofest

Design and news reporting have much in common in that regard, I think. I have since moved into academia, and while it is competitive, I also know that I will have holidays off. I don't get big long breaks like everyone thinks—I'm working during summers and winter break weeks on research and non-teaching projects—but I…

people who survive Ebola have antibodies that help peop'e who have Ebola. This is how the nurse recovered, btw.

Ugh, I am right there with you. My previous employer claimed that they "spread holiday work around." Then they let the married people and folks with kids choose what holidays they wanted to work. Of course, all the marrieds pick the super-nothing holidays like Veteran's Day, Columbus Day, MLK Day, and Labor Day—like…

Download bar? Jesus fucking christ dudes, they are women. Not a fucking dial up modem connecting to AOL.

In that article, one of the douchebros commenting on the protestors: "We were actually fearing our safety and that's really not cool."

BUT IT'S TOTALLY COOL WHEN WOMEN FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY IN OUR EFFORTS TO GET OUR BONERS INSIDE 'EM, AMIRITE?

thank you Anna!

Additional thought: People watch C-SPAN?

And you know what? Both Home Depot and Lowes have free kid's workshops where you can build something with your kid. They're awesome and, again, FREE. You can buy the kits separately, too.

Or be an adult and just get married at the courthouse and don't waste money?

I hate to white knight Madge, but, having been through a similar situation, sometimes you just have to stop trying to fix someone's life. That doesn't mean you stop caring.

That's Ilona Royce Smithkin, she is 94! She makes her own eyelashes from her actual hair.

This weekend I was at a party and some stranger came up to me and wordlessly rested his hand on my tit. At the time I thought it was a little rude of him, so I gave him a look of disgust and scampered away. But now I realize that I was at a party and having a good time and I probably had my Please Rest Your Hand On My…
