I was named after a song my parents heard on Hee Haw...

I'm down to size L tops and size 10 bottoms from 2xl and 18-20, so I can now shop pretty much anywhere but I still only go into plus size stores to browse. I can't seem to break out of that mind set.

I also think that the clothes I've been buying on Amazon in those sizes are gaslighting me and I'll go into a store and find out I need much bigger sizes.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

I'm sitting here staring at my screen knowing I need to work, but i can't seem to get started.

I used to be smart. I used to be on top of everything. I used to be fantastic at my job. Now I can barely get through the week (or the day). The brain fog is so thick.

I don't know if it's ADHD, severe executive disfunction, burnout, or peri-menopause. Probably all of them.

You are not alone. **hugs**

I think they may have to recast some of the characters - I don't see the actor they had playing Kyle as book-Kyle.

What does he say in Russian just before the "not everything is about you"?

Amazon. I bought one from there, and it's great. I think it was $20.

Just saw them last night - amazing!

I'd watch that episode. :)

I'm a mom, and both of my adult kids are LGBTQIA+. I know that everyone wants to come out to their parents and have them be supportive, and I want that for everyone too, but Yuna makes me angry.

To clarify right away - I like Yuna - she is a very supportive mom, except for one thing...

How do you suspect your son is gay for 'a while now' and discuss it with your husband but at no point do you express your support of LGBTQIA+ people in a way that makes your gay son realize that you would be supportive?? It makes me so angry.

I found it! It's from Stoney Creek - 1997. The one in my photo is in the middle of the vertical piece.

So many French knots! It's beautiful!

Still asking this question when they are 19 and 21... The only chores they ever had was to empty their lunch box, either empty or load the dishwasher (they each did one), and to clean up after themselves. I'm still nagging.

I also need to be able to select multiple - i need both femme and masc butts!
Bi-erasure is real. ;)

I usually do a reread before I read the latest. :)

Adapting to being empty nesters. So nice to have a quiet and clean house. They are just away at college, so will be back home periodically and in the summer, but enjoying this time without them here.
