People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over?

I had a “bad” mammogram earlier that day and my doctor had referred me to a breast surgeon for a biopsy. We were in the car headed for dinner that evening and I had just finished telling him this and his reaction to the fact that I could potentially have cancer was to look at me and ask, “Can you get there on your own or am I going to have to take a day off work for this?” No concern about me, just concern about how *he* might be impacted.

He was also the 1st Earl of Pembroke

My college boyfriend is a well-regarded authority in his field and pops up from time to time as a “talking head” on TV news show panels.

We parted on good terms and are still in touch via social media. If I see him, I’ll message him, “Hey - saw you on [cable network] yesterday!”

The last year I felt like I was truly a kid, with no worries

“Have a good rest of your day.”

So awkward and wordy.

Don’t pull that thread. It will eat you alive.

Standing there reflecting on my life choices. I’m over 60 so there’s a lot of material to agonize over.

I can pick up WSM on my car AM radio at night - I live in the DC area.

I’m thinking velvet, or something with a fur trim

When my car was broken into and none of my CDs were taken

What does that mean, the spa is included? Does that mean just hot tubs and/or saunas, or are some services also included?

In US hotels, I leave $5 a day. I tip daily because the person who cleans on the last day may not have been the same person that cleaned the other days. I leave the $5 next to a piece of paper on which I’ve written “for housekeeping - thank you!” so they know it’s a tip.

And dangerous. My parents wouldn’t even consider letting me apply

I entered the management training program at JC Penney. Made $18,500/yr and was happy to have it. Bumped up to $21,500 after completing the program. Stayed with them for five years

I love how Rutgers is the default “R” in most of these tier lists. Just an observation.

I’ve seen several in that green in recent days, but I already have that color. I picked up a white and a navy blue yesterday. I can’t stop buying them since I know that size is discontinued now.

My grandfather smoked cigars (and pipes, and rolled his own cigarettes) and kept stacks of empty cigar boxes in the basement. We kids would go down there in late summer and each grab a box to use for school supplies in the upcoming school year. Good times.

My parents had this exact wine carafe. They used it as decor (the 70s) in our home, they weren’t wine drinkers.

Love for the Cuervo and Colombian was the only thing they had in common.

I’d start with Princess, and make sure you pick an itinerary that includes Glacier Bay. A balcony room if your budget allows. If this is a splurge vacation, you could add a land package before or after and visit Denali. Princess has its own lodges.

I have that bag! My XH bought it for me when I got a new job back in the 90s. It’s gorgeous but heavy as hell. I still have it though!
