Has anyone else seen today's Captain Awkward? The illustration made me spit my tea, say "This seems appropriate!" and start humming the same little song under my breath.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Where would I find that, Amy? I have captain awkward on my feed reader and didn't see it but when I went on the captain awkward site is from a couple days ago—am I looking in the wrong place?

Here you are, meara. Sorry, I should have just linked!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I love Captain Awkward.

Always Anti-fascist!
Tep, don't blame you...I go through a lot of emotions with my brother and his Career Crisis, 3.1, and he won't die of that(although that's not the way he tells it...)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This sounds so hard, Steph, but I think you are handling it correctly, and it is great for you to vent here. I know firsthand how much venting and talking things out here helps. I wish there was something tangible we could do for you, but I don't know that there is really anything except sending support.
I think it is great that you are owning your anger. I think a lot of women in our age group are full of rage at always being the person who fixes things. There are several people on this thread. And I think we have to get it out somewhere or we are all going to explode into a mass of peri-menopausal women who start a revolution OR implode.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I am so sorry, Steph.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
And, uh, in other news, which feel like most appropriate to share in Bitches. I am now on an unofficial hunt behalf of the National Library after published works of pornography and erotic fiction in Hebrew. It appears that the catalog is in serious lack of most of these titles, and I know people who know people, so I volunteered to spread the word.
(It, umm, appears that the relevant department is having difficulties googling certain terms that will not be blocked by the institution's web-nanny).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, your therapist is right, you can be totally understanding and totally pissed off at the same time, and you do deserve to be taken care of and not to have to do all the caretaking, and boy this all sucks. I hope your brother gets better soon.
JZ, that's my nightmare work scenario and fwiw I sympathize; I'd have had a breakdown over that bullshirt.
Toddson, good luck to you finding a new place that suits your needs. What a pain it is, having to move.
We're getting too old for this sh!t. It's time to retire to Buffista Island and not have to deal with anyone's craziness but our own.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm ready, Zen.
Sending ~ma and holding y'all in my heart.
