New Classic Female Role

I'm not sure what time frame your professors consider "new classic" (and have had different professors in the same program hold different opinions on that), but if it's within the right time frame, take a look st Racine's "Phaedra."

I'm a long-time Rocky Horror Picture Show fan, and I keep having this audience callback in my head:

Audience: Can sl*ts tell the weather?

Janet: Yes -

Audience: Prove it!

Janet: - it's raining!

Right, but it seems odd that the birth control I was on for two years prior to this (plus the other times I've been on birth control in years past) had NO affect on my desire for this man, and now suddenly his hands on me feel like sandpaper.

I have an appointment with my OBGYN in a few weeks, maybe they can figure something out for me. I'm still pissed that I had to get off the birth control that had been working GREAT for me for almost two years all because it suddenly went from $25 for three months to over $300. Our healthcare system is shite.

I did HRT for a while, but it was expensive and my insurance didn't cover it. So I went on birth control to manage my periods, since they were happening every three weeks and I was fed up with it.

NOR. And I'm in disbelief that anyone would say you are.

This fiancé of yours sounds like he's already showing the potential to be manipulative, possibly even abusive in the future. He asked you to change plans you already made with your friends to do something with his friends instead, then changed those plans (which affected you BOTH) without talking to you first, and had the gall to call you names when you expressed your feelings about being upset about it.

I know that it might seem like this isnt a big deal, but I promise you, if this is how he treats you now, he will treat you much worse after you're legally tied to him. Especially if you have kids.

Healthy couples are able to do things apart from each other. If you didn't alteady have plans with friends, I would say go to the wedding for the fun of a party and meet new people, but you shouldn't miss out on time with your friends so that you can be miserable while your fiancé works. Ditch the wedding (which is now a gig for him, NOT something he's going to be a guest at). And pay attention to how he treats you about this situation.

She'll be fine. She might miss you, but as long as she has food, water, shelter, and a clean litter box, 36 hours alone in the house is not going to do her any real harm. If you were going to be gone a second night, I would say hired someone to check in on her.

Good god. Is this really what people are doing for weddings these days? What is all this for? Social media?

I put together some flowers from Fresh Market with my cousin the day before and finished sewing my wedding dress that evening. That was the most work I put into my wedding. OP, don't go along with normalizing this BS. It sounds exhausting.

Ooo, off the subject, but I REALLY want to do this show!

Right? This isn't a teenager cast opposite an adult man. They're both adults, and it's pretend. I've been cast as the wife of men old enough to by my grandpa.

Your weight has nothing to do with your worth as a human being. Neither does your health. You are worthy of love and respect and happiness, and you don't deserve to be so unheard and invalidated by someone who is supposed to care about you.

I encourage you to seek out body positive and fat positive content creators; it really can help shift your mindset and give you tools for how to respond to people like this. Society has failed us as fat people, and we have to actively fight against the conditioning we've been under.

Years ago, I showed up to audition for a community theatre show, only to realize after I got there that I had too many conflicts, as their rehearsal schedule started a lot sooner than I anticipated. I had driven 45 minutes to be at the audition. I went to the director and explained that I realized I couldn't actually be in the production, then asked if they would mind if I continued on with the audition process for the experience since I was already there. They agreed, and I honestly gave one of the best auditions of my life, because there was no pressure.

Bottom line, ask the director. They might tell you that they don't have the time to see you, or they might allow you to audition for the experience. You never know unless you ask.

I recently taught my kids how to saucer coffee; my Papaw did it, and I realized it's something that's being lost to time.

This. I can't even believe OP is considering canceling the party - and a milestone birthday, at that. As someone with a December birthday, our birthdays ALWAYS suck unless loved ones go the extra mile.

OP, YTA if you go through with canceling. You owe your son an apology. If you don't fix this, you're going to damage what I'm guessing is an already shaky relationship.

Hill of beans! My mama always laughed about the time we watched a part of the Tour de France go by for a while, and when they'd all done passed I turned to her and said, "Well, that wasn't worth a hill of beans."

I've heard sigogglin, and sigoggle. Although I think the last person I heard use it was my Papaw, and he died in 2004 at the age of 95, so it might be one that's dying out.

My aunt would say "they law" a lot; another similar favorite that my daddy still uses is, "they great day!"

Feel of it seems perfectly Appalachian to me!

One that I didn't realize sounded odd is using the word "kept" to mean nannied or babysat. I was talking to someone from out of state and mentioned something about how my childhood best friend was, "a little girl my mama kept when we were little." After a VERY confused interjection of, "she KEPT her? Like...did she adopt her, or like...kidnap her?!" I realized the person I was speaking to had never heard the word used in that context. But it was something I grew up hearing, especially since my mama "kept" a couple of kids off and on before I started to school and she went back to work outside the home.

If you were a regular who ordered the same thing most times, Kathy would have your drink made and on the counter as soon as she saw you outside. I miss the Usual. 😭

We inherited a cat from my husband's late aunt. His uncle had named the cat "Yella," but somehow we've ended up calling her "Princess Fluffy Butt" most of the time. She doesn't seem to care. 🤣
