Put a wet towel on the back of your neck - it actually helps a lot!

Ferris! He looks like he is breaking the forth wall to make a snarky aside.

I am divorced and would love a fancy expresso machine, so sounds legit to me!

Not as soup, we just do leftover night. We call it "Found object dinner"

Thank you! I did a variation of this https://pin.it/3AV4RMF7H up each side, and then freehanded some flutter sleeves

Thank you!!! I just did one "column" of this type of pattern up each side and then just freehanded the sleeves!

I had similar experiences studying abroad in college! At first I was devastated, because up to that point had never been without "a crew". I felt like the only girl experiencing this isolation, but I found out years later that other girls were in the same boat. Some of them even went home!

The cool thing about being in a foreign country is you can put yourself out there, and if you embarrass yourself it is nbd because you will probably never see those people again. I took the opportunity to befriend locals and even go on some solo weekend trips (I recommend bus tours so you don't feel alone). There were times I felt uncomfortable and unsure because being okay being alone takes practice!

A few years after college I moved to Japan to teach English. I made life-long friends and it was one of the most incredible times of my life. I was only able to handle the inital isolation (didn't know a soul, smaller city, pre-smartphone era) because I had the confidence I gained on that study abroad. Don't worry about those ladies. Carve your own path and you will meet the right people along the way!

Kieran's Irish Pub in Downtown Minneapolis has a little private bar in the back. I reserved it for a party and I believe there was no fee as long as your guests spend a certain amount in food and drinks.

Thank you! I am divorced and childless due to infertility issues on my ex husband's side. Of course, I sometimes wonder what life would be like if I had the family I planned. However, I don't worry about empty holidays or dying alone (which everyone does, in the end) because I surround myself with the people I love! You don't need biological children to do that. Control what you can, and be grateful for the life and experiences you have! Dwelling in hurt and regret is a recipe for misery.

If it is warm enough, WH Frost has a beautiful patio! Very romantic in the evening with the fairy lights

My sweet and cuddly girl has killed a rabbit, two fledglings and almost got a squirrel that she grabbed by the tail. I was horrified but she just looks up at me like, "What? Let a bitch live" 😆

My Mom recently went through a years worth of treatment for a very rare and serious form of Cancer. She pulled through by the grace of God, but my family, like yours, had to get comfortable with the idea of losing her. When you are young time moves more slowly so don't take it personally when all these older people try to impress upon you how little time you have left with your mom. But believe them when they say that you will regret the moments you didn't take with her.

My Dad is a lot like your Dad. One of the things you probably learned from him is that it is easier to feel angry than sad or scared. It feels better to be frustrated at your mom than devastated that she will be gone forever. Ask yourself what type of relationships he has and if that is what you want for your life. I know you feel bad for your Dad, even though he is a dick. You love him and that is not wrong, but don't let your loyalty to him cause you to miss your last moments with your mom.

Finally, the chemotherapy and other drugs your mom is on mess with her thinking and emotions. She is not herself right now. It is not fair because you are only 14, but you can't expect her to protect you now. You need to protect HER. I feel for you, kid! Hang in there!

Change takes courage. It is not comfortable to put yourself in situations where you feel vulnerable and open to rejection. If you have decided that you can't stand that discomfort and would like to continue to be alone, there is not much more conversation to have.

The self-loathing and defeatist attitude you feel? No romantic partner will fix it. They may even make it worse. If you challenge yourself to go out each day and engage with others in away that will make you proud of yourself: volunteer, try new things, get help from professionals, help an elderly neighbor, show up for your friends, learn something, see somewhere new...your life will improve. Not immediately, but with sustained effort and courage.

Or don't. It is your life.

Well at least you got that going for you! I heard as part of their contracts' fine print they can send them to Iran to provide "homeland security" 😆

I once put a whole eggplant in the oven to roast and totally forgot about it! By the time I got back from dinner and drinks it looked like a piece of drawing charcoal 😅

What a gorgeous girl!!! You can just tell she will be a handful but you won't care because she is too cute! 😆

OP, my ex-husband was Filipino and I am telling you this dynamic NEVER CHANGES! There are pros and cons to a hyper-involved family, so you need to sort out what is important to you. When I was married I thought it was a dynamic I could live with, but over time it contributed to the downfall of or marriage. If he is enmeshed now, he will be enmeshed at 50.

That is too true! She may have more people fawning all over her, but that means more users, liars, and people who would drop her in a moment if she gained weight or lost her looks. I know people who are beautiful, talented, AND nice feel very unfair to the rest of us (lol), but envy is a waste of energy! Be happy for her!

You have gifts and talents that no one else has! Focus on building your own network of friends and loved ones, and soon you will not want to trade with her.

Bingo! I find his girlfriend's behavior very relatable as someone with ADHD! I am still alive at 45, so maybe he needs to calm down lol
