@tipsyimperial: My inner Ravenclaw is forcing me to mention that "coney" would also rhyme with "Honee" and has the advantage of being the word that Mr. Chaucer would likely have used were he fortunate enough to have a dog as sweet as yours. (I'm sorry, I've been restraining her all week. If I'd let her tell off that buckethead in the food forum who refused to allow a book rec because she'd never heard of "America's Test Kitchen" or "Cook's Illustrated", it wouldn't have come to this.)
AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN IS GREAT I HAVE TWO OF THEIR BOOKS WHO IS THIS PERSON.

And him getting captured & tortured. (he’s used to it.) Chad could be Fezzik, Aizen could be Humperdink. Count Rugen would have to be played by Kubo. “I’ve just sucked a decade of joy from your life. How would you describe that feeling?”

I enjoy these posts so much. Would you consider sometimes posting a recs list of 18th and 19th c. essays that you enjoy for whatever reason? Not an exhaustive one, of course, but 3 or 5 at a time?
I mean, if you really like? I could probably come up with a couple of “Top Five Samuel Johnson Essays You Should Read Before Age 30″ and “That Time These Victorian Essayists Really Made Us Think About The Importance Of Life: Number 3 Hit Me Right In The Feels” posts if there’s some interest in that.

If she divorced, she’d basically have to give up her career. She’s a Youth Minister. Know who you don’t want as your Youth Minister? Somebody with a Broken Marriage Because That’s A Bad Example For The Kids. This is a superficial reaction but the context of where she’s working will demand a superficial reaction to be taken.
So, while I personally feel that the marriage was a mistake on her part, I don’t see her divorcing any time soon.
Several months ago, there was this really... awful Facebook post about how he needed to publicly confess a sin, wherein he gave just enough information about what he did that it just left giant gaping holes in my mind as to how he’s been treating my sister:
Apparently, I was angry and bitter. I didn't always show it. I carried it deep within, but never realized just how much pain I carried and how deep it was buried. I thought I was fine...and then I got married. I no longer could just hide and self medicate. I couldn't subconsciously suppress the pain. I was exposed. Exposed through a loving and patient wife, who desperately tried to reach me when I'd close myself off physically and, worst of all, emotionally. I have seen the hurt that my selfish pride has caused my wife. She has shed many tears because of me. I've asked for forgiveness time and again, and she has been faithful to forgive. She has shown me the love of Christ and I am blessed by her.
I’m pretty sure that he shows it. He gets angry, doesn’t participate, and ignores people quite a bit, and posts the stupidest right-wing memes on Facebook. This was written about the first 9 months of his marriage. This is less than the first year. He was, evidently, physically closed off to his wife during the time that Good Christians can finally have physical relations. And he’s emotionally closed off as well. He is blessed by having a wife who keeps forgiving all of his many, many failings.
It’s almost as if marrying a guy after dating him for three months, followed by a three-month long engagement isn’t enough time to get to know someone as a life partner, even on the third-time’s-the-charm dating experience (she dumped him twice because she couldn’t love him the two previous times, and then they decided to give it another go.). .

Uprooting yourself and moving is incredibly stressful. Our minds and bodies don't like uncertainty. Above all, be kind to yourself. De-stress as much as possible. *hugs*
thank you-- it's really not the move that bothers me
i do have a lot of crap but that feeling is more the-- as I've had my frequent fits these past months i look around at all the nonsense i've wasted my money on, all the clutter and mess, all the rubbish, and feel frustrated and disgusted and just want to throw it all out
i mean, when i go through like, the list of why i can't kill myself-- the list i came up withthis summer was something like, in no particular order
1. pathetic suicide note as there's no reason
2. afraid of not existing
3. there's too much stuff here-- i can't leave my aunt with clean up duty so i have to get my stuff back to ny or elsewhere ffirst
4. related, but my student debt from emerson of course my parents must have cosigned on, i can't leave them with 15k
but then again my dad would probably just hate me with a righteous fury if i put all that money on him so maybe that'd be ok then he wouldn't be sad lol
anyway i'm not afraid anymore, but my aunt already paid for my cousin's ticket back to california after he drives back with me, so

You fought long and bravely, but P's powers of denial and twisting words & meaning cannot be pierced by logic or debate. *salutes you*
I actually feel kind of stupid for even bothering. I honestly thought that I can actually have a decent discussion with her, but, oh well. People who don't see what's wrong can never change. Rather, people who refuse to see what's wrong can never change.
OH GOD YES THANK YOU! No one knows the difference...
I tried to ignore it, but day after day I keep seeing the same mistake and hundreds of thousands of people reblogging the SAME MISTAKE. But you're right, no one gives a shit. They might even think they're right.
Once, I had written "Its background was badly drawn" about some crap and some fool tried to correct me on it, rudely calling me stupid for 'bashing' the background he loves so much and for writing 'its'. "You have no taste blahblah but since you even got 'it's' wrong, you're an idiot blahblah." Someone immediately came and gave him a mini lesson on 'its' and 'it's' though, saving me the trouble of skinning his ass off with a carrot shredder.
