Thanks, Cashmere. I kind of figured that was who it was, but I wanted to be sure.
Man, just ascend already.

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm in the "Tom & Katie's age difference doesn't squick me" category. But I was 13+ years younger than my first BF, so, glass houses and all that.
Besides, there are so many other reasons (as people have pointed out) to be squicked.

I am 10 years younger than Teacup Guy, and age difference usually doesn't squick me, but there is just something skeevy about Tom and Katie.

Being 11 years older than Brendon I am not squicked by the ages. Tom squicks me plenty on his own. I am without knowledge of Katie other than her poor choice of men.

It actually wasn't until pretty recently that I noticed how little people knew about PPD. A lot of women in my family have had it, and since the time I've been old enough to babysit a newborn, I've gotten the "If a friend who's just had a baby calls and says she needs help, drop whatever you're doing and immediately go and take care of the baby and help with the cooking or cleaning or whatever until either she seems totally OK or another adult gets there" lecture pretty regularly. I was completely stunned when I was discussing the Andrea Yates case with some friends, and one of them said, "I don't believe PPD exists. I mean, babies make you happy."
And yeah, really quite stunned at Cruise's comments right now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmett's Mom had really bad PPD, and it was quite dangerous to both him and her. It's only because two of my close women friends were monitoring her closely that we were able to diagnose it and get her on ADs. It was really fucking scary.

It scares me that there are women out there who might read Cruise's comments and not seek help for PPD because of it.

ARGH. So, I"m doing covers/resumes for teaching jobs, and one wants a copy of a transcript. I go to the university site to print out one, and I find out I have a Incomplete in my student teaching. WTF? My prof emailed us, and told use everyone had an A in the course, and my portfolio was reviewed and passed.
I'm so pissed --what the fuck else can go wrong?

Oh {{{Erin}}}, how frustrating. Is it possible to contact your prof during the summer? I am sorry this is happening.
