I HAVE NO PLANS TOMORROW AND AFTER I GET MAC AT 6:30, I AM DRINKING AS MUCH AS I WANT!!! which will probably only be 2 glasses of wine, but SO WHAT.

I will join you in two glasses of wine, msbelle! Or at least one, that might actually be enough for me, we'll see.

Good luck with the fat raise, Calli, that sounds like the sensible choice to me.

I heard about a study a while back that determined that it really does rain more on the weekend than during the week in general, something about extra heat and whatnot from rush hour affecting weather patterns. This was 10-20 years ago, though, so may have been debunked or superseded or something.

I know Southerners think it's a sign of basic courtesy, but I find it very annoying to be called "ma'am" every two sentences, especially when it's "I click on the link that just came up, ma'am?" and "It wants my name, ma'am, do I fill in my name?" I just want to yell at them "Stop sniveling, already! Calling me ma'am every ten seconds is not making me think you're especially courteous!"

It's just a habit, Connie, they probably can't help it. I tend towards that a little myself and I know it annoys some of my coworkers but I don't even know I'm doing it most of the time so it's hard to stop.

A business isn't designed to protect the rights of a minority. A business values profit over things like people's health.

A business can't print its own money and raise its own taxes. Bankruptcy looks very different for a country, especially one underpinning the global financial system. Even when you're talking about managing the budget, a government isn't a business. (This is extremely relevant for me when evaluating Trump, with his four bankruptcies and his blase attitude towards defaulting on the national debt.)

Y'all, what am I doing arguing with this person on facebook? On someone else's page, even? Do I think I'm going to convince him of the error of his ways, or make him understand the privilege he's currently enjoying? No. Then why am I spending my extremely limited energy on him?

This was me yesterday. He said he had no privilege and I ended up more frustrated than anything. So not worth it. I even posted links supporting my statements that were dismissed out of hand.

They can hormone test menopause? Huh. I'm so hopped up on anti-depressants, asthma meds, migraine meds, thyroid meds, and it feels like a zillion others (though I haven't had to graduate to the LARGE pill sorter yet), that maybe menopause effects are dulled for me?

I was wondering what a menopause pill would look like, then realized it would be something that magically created a fully-paid-for beach vacation with reassurances that everything back home was taken care of and when you got back everyone around you would have gotten educated on why life is hard right now.

I posted this big long thing and all I got back was #please. Hashtag please? All I'm getting is hashtag please? I'm going to chose to read that as, you are powerless against my excellent arguments and will be mulling them over on your own time, eventually coming to a gentle and subtle realization that everything you know is wrong and you have been an idiot every time you've opened your mouth for your entire life.

I private messaged the dude whose page it was to say, hey, should I disengage here? Because sheesh.

I think I might be done! I haven't had my period in three months. FINGERS CROSSED.

I can go almost 3 months without a period and then bam. It's back. But yes, hot flashes at night are no good.

Well hell. My cousin posted something along the lines of "Because I am obligated as a moral person to oppose the gleeful encouragement of hate crimes, racism, sexism, lying, bribery, not to mention really awful toupees." Her brother-in-law posted "when has he gleefully encouraged hate crimes".

Seriously?!?!? I need to come up with links. Wow.
