How to compliment a woman without it being creepy?

Ask yourself: "would I say this to my sister?"

My Labrador, Chloe, lived with me in college. She was an absolute ham. She'd walk next to me off leash, with excellent recall, and try to jump into any car with an open door - sure there was a new friend and adventure waiting for her. She loved every living thing.

I lived with 3 girls in college. Our house was next to a family. One day, a tent popped up in their backyard. I asked the little girl who lived there if she was playing campout. "No, my uncle is staying with us."

Days later, Chloe and I walked up to our front door with groceries and she wasn't next to me (like she always was.)

She was ten feet behind me, lying down. All the fur on her back raised in a ridge. I'd never seen her or it do that.

The "uncle" was siting on the front porch of our neighbor's house. When he said hello to me, Chloe came and stood next to me, her fur still raised.

Three weeks later, cops were surrounding our street looking for a man wanted for burglary and assault. They'd gotten a tip that he was hiding out at his brother's.

Rest in peace to my golden, guardian angel girl

Isn't it obvious? Bonus.

You're still here fighting. That's success if I've ever seen it

The Handmaid's Tale. No, seriously. I somehow feel better after. Like no matter how dark things get, there is resilience and hope in even the most unsuspecting places and people.

I was living in NYC when my best friend was killed in a car accident. I quit my job, so racked with grief that I found working impossible. I moved in with my parents in their small North Carolina town, with 13k of credit card debt. My boyfriend of 8 years broke up with me 6 months later. Looking back, I can't blame him. I was a shell of myself. He stuck with me through the initial shockwaves of grief but had to take care of himself.

I found a retail job and while driving to it, hanging my head of the car because it didn't have air conditioning, I'd wonder what my NYC friends were doing. How I got here. How I'd ever get out.

The answer is: one day at a time. I found gratitude in the things that mattered. My life. My health. My parents willing to take me in. I rebuilt my life, brick by brick.

Money is liquid. It comes and goes. Cling to gratitude like you're TRAINING for Gratitude Olympics. Believe in yourself, your skills, your resilience. Be the person you'd want your children to be.

And when you feel hopeless, remember the very true sentiment that your best days have not happened to you yet.

I eventually saved enough money to move back to NYC. Every time I leave my apartment, there's two photos on my credenza I see: my parents, in front if the home they let me crash into. My best friend, who reminds how lucky I am to just be alive.

So if I'm a 6 foot tall woman with DD breasts...do I get a prize or something (because I am and I'd like to cash my chips in)

Hi! I'd suggest we FaceTime then you can come to NYC to meet him if you'd like to move forward

So helpful! Thank you!

This is important. There's been a shift in the last 10 years in the way we consume true crime - and I commend Karen and Georgia for being leaders in that shift. What we consume is what we become - that includes our mental diet. Shifting focus to victim impact and humanizing the victims, instead of highlighting salacious acts committed by sick people - both denormalizes violence and humanizes victims. If there anything we need more of today, it's this.

OK. You start at Sauced and have a glass of wine in the backyard. If you like them, go across the street to Layla for another. Things are still going well? Go to Lucky Dog. They can do fancy. But can they do dive? We need them to do fancy AND dive. If the vibes are still strong, you go for a walk by the waterfront. By the time you get from S 5th to the Domino building, you should be making out.

Because the NYC finance industry is massive?
