Something telling about habit when Kat and I contemplate sleep at the same time. 3 hours apart.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

I keep thinking that Aerie was some failed ad thing at one point, right?
It's an American Eagle sub-brand, for girls....they were advertising during Top Model for a while

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I suspect I'm not meant to eat the whole tub in one sitting, though, which may be a problem.
Too much of TJ's stuff is single serving in practice though not intent.

Because books.
That seems like a stunt, and sarcasm to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
DH sent that article to me . I thought it was all rambly at the beginning - so I am in the camp that says it needed an editor. I didn't even understand where it was going at first. Her conclusion was valid - and I guess it is one of those things you have to come to a conclusion like that on your own
and I like what Burrell said - a reevaluation of you want/need in a partner. One of th e words I hear a lot is 'successful' . I think the word is both vague and loaded. What I wanted was someone with a similar value for work. and Matt and I are well matched in that area. We also both read a lot. I don't think anyone else I dated had both of those . I would have had a hard time articulating the first until my late 20s - but I knew when i wasn't there

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
didn't read the Atlantic piece, but I do see being single as a choice and not one I feel much stigma about, but then I don't feel much stigma.
From earlier, I do see having children as a choice and I kinda get where the wanting a tax break lady was coming from. Clearly equating children with commodities is wrong on so many levels, but then again I've had people near and dear to me compare adopting mac to getting a dog from the pound with unknown issues and probable behavior problems.

ouch , msbelle.
I see kids as possibly being a part of a series of complex decisions and circumstances ( at least in he first world) but not quite as simple as a choice.

I never really thought out what I wanted in a man, and on a rational basis Hubby probably is not on the recommended list--especially taking hindsight into account. But I need him on a cellular level. When I'm scared out of my wits and I can't decide what to do, the primal drive that moves me is "Find him." And when he needs me, I will--and have--challenged any authority figure in my way to get to him.
I've been preparing myself for years for the day when I won't have him any longer. The odds of me getting a golden wedding anniversary are low. When I'm ruthlessly logical, I can see a lot of areas where a lot of work should be done, but down in the brainstem, the she-wolf doesn't contemplate a world without her mate.
