Mmm, sticky rice with mango.

Anyone have suggestions for my roommate? About a block from my house is a TV tower and a gas station. Occasionally homeless people hang out there (the gas station doesn't seem to give a shit and I have no idea who owns the TV tower land), occasionally Trader Joe's workers hang out there to have a smoke or eat their food on break, etc. It's the direct route to the bus, main road, grocery, etc. Apparently one of the homeless folk who are sometimes there has been repeatedly harassing her. She's uncomfortable and a bit worried but not sure what can be done. Neither am I. Thoughts? I think even if the police came (unlikely), there's not much they can do and he'd just be back (and possibly pissier) the next day...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Update on being a damn adult: 3 weeks (in a row) of flossing! God, it is so BORING.

Eat a cookie after flossing as a reward?

Congrats ND!

I was a planned baby. I know because Mom talked about how all the trying kinda took the fun out of the process.

My brother was a surprise baby. Mom went to the doctor for birth control and he did a pregnancy test (which she thought was useless) and came back with - you're pregnant!

When I got the sex talk it included -after you have a baby, don't have sex without protection, even if you are nursing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same.

No thoughts for your roommate, in what sounds like a crappy situation. I mean, I would just turn up the sound in my headphones and ignore, but I realize that's not always possible.

I was an unplanned adoption. Wrap your head around that one.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm the middle child of three spaced at intervals of approx 3 years, so I assume we were all planned. I do not need to know any details.

I don't have any advice for your roommate, meara. What a bummer!

My parents wanted three kids, they had my oldest sister, then there was a stillbirth, then my middle sister, then a miscarriage, then me.
