Think twice, speak once?
Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Deena! My friend Jack just created an IG specifically for showing off his makeup lewks! [link] Thought your son might be interested (& anyone else. Jack is one of my fave people in the world!)
What is the difference between jealousy and envy? There is an adorable young couple here, and they make me both happy and sad. Is jealousy wanting something specific someone else has and envy wishing you had something like it?
I would call that envy. And perfectly understandable.
Connie I was just wondering that the other day! Like I have a recent ex who is now in a v happy relationship. And I'm happy for her—she's great and deserves some awesome. And I don't want to be dating her. But it still hurts somehow.
As I understand it, envy is wanting something that someone else has, but in a deeper, darker sense than wistfulness and wishing. Jealousy proper is possessiveness about something you have (or think you ought to have). Jealousy is often used in place of envy, in much the same way that literally is used in place of metaphorically.
Lisah! Thanks for that link. I'll share it with my Aidaboo.
Announcement: 47 is too damn old to still be having a period.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
t edit Postscript: Tim is camping this weekend, and even though I went to 2 grocery stores today, I don't feel like cooking because my uterus is a jerk and I might just DoorDash some pad thai and watch as much Leverage as I can before I fall asleep.
Agreed. Give it up already uterus! Pad Thai and Leverage is however an excellent plan.
Damn, y'all. Graeter's is on DoorDash. I did NOT need to know that.
