Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I haven't had lunch yet and now I want nachos.

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

Nachos do sound like a good idea and I might be able to make that happen. For me, probably not the rest of you, sorry. Although a Nacho Fairy would be wonderful

Excellent analogy, Teppy.

Agreed!

I would like to discuss all hard tasks over nachos. That sounds preferable to not nachos.

Truly was. Recommend.

Lunch update: I did not have nachos. (Turkey sandwich and snap peas with hummus. Tasty, but definitely not nachos.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have tacos planned for tomorrow, but now I would also like nachos, thank you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

She's a psychiatrist?! Needs her license revoked asap. Ugh.

Amen. I appreciate your outrage. He was trying to downplay and I was like NO THERE IS NO EXCUSE. She definitely went to school to deal with her trauma and maybe didn’t do therapy. My brother doesn’t know if she was in therapy. How can you date someone for a year and a half and not know? It’s a prereq for me at this point.

And Matilda's ex better hope he never meets a Buffista in a dark alley.

AMEN. As we were reminded on fb, we are a community that likes weapons.

Got a little asscappy there, but I feel like they both deserve it.

JenP, this is really my first, too! I’m 47. My longest relationship was 20 months over 20 years ago and it literally began by me saying, “okay, I’ll date you, but we are breaking up when I got into Peace Corps.” R has been married twice and had another LTR of six years with the mother of his kids, so… feel free to PM me if you want and we can share experiences.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Helloooo, Buffistas.

First, oh boy, Matilda's ex. This is not the smartest move, gaining an army of powerful internet strangers-lurkers-aunts-and-uncles to wish bad things upon you. For your own good... Seriously, bad timing dude.

Buckets of brackets, Hec and all. Buckets of them.

I still have lots of preps before Rosh Hasahana, but I wanted to come here and wish a Shana tova (a good and sweet year). Last year was hard, especially here, for so many. I'm sorry about that. May this year bring healing and health, love and joy, justice, wisdom, laughter, and people who are responsible adults and know what they're doing to appear at the right times and places.

I love you all and greatful for this place. And unless major things will happen, I'm coming to visit sometimes during 2024, or when my work will decide it's time to fly me to the NY office (the earliest of the two).

Shana tova, loved ones.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Doesn't really have to be all that dark, either.

Our wings are not tired.

Shana tova, loved ones.

Shana tova, Shir.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, I can appreciate that there is no *great* time for a first breakup, but there is a time that could be *The WORST* and he found it. sorry. My first break-up was rather no-harm, no foul(although I wish I'd been more honest about noticing we wanted different things instead of picking a fight.) And it still hurts my pride that he messed with my head about being both devastated and SO IN LOVE when within six weeks, he got together with a less-complicated, homelier, version of me.As the great Lenny Bruce said about a far nastier topic "Somebody's lying," As far as I know, they're still together(He's on a short internet leash.) and letting his mom run their lives. I've thought about whether I did the right thing there way too much, but I definitely wish the education I stayed for would have turned out to be a better bet. I think about missing out on DC more than I think about his actual being, these days, though.
