I may order a pair of the ones in the link LT sent me. I’m still reading reviews about sizing. I’m not usually fond of ordering things like that online because of the return hassle if it doesn’t fit but I doubt I will find anything at least 7 inches long in any stores.

Finally have a day off--first one in seven days. I'm aggressively doing nothing. Maybe too much so because I'm starting to get bored :/

My son called a little bit ago from my brother's house in Germany, it's hard to believe my boy is more than 5,500 miles away from me right now...

Met someone who didn't believe in the international date line they have to go with the guy who thought that the fact that chocolate kills dogs was an urban myth he also didn't believe that earth had had an atmosphere

I haven't posted here in a long time, but I have to drink 10 more 8 oz. cups of colonoscopy prep, so I thought I'd stop by for some sympathy! I had 2 already.

Welcome back. Colonoscopy prep is the worst.

I have spent over 12 years in therapy and I don't feel much benefit from the different modalities but obviously I get deeply attached which I don't understand as I try to keep them at a distance. Is it worth it? Have I just had the wrong Ts? I have seen about 8 in this town already and only felt comfortable with my exT. From the very first session I liked him I haven't felt that before.
Nine years is long time and I want my clock.

All the sympathy your eay, that stuff is worse than the actual procedure

JaneTennison1 · Jun 16, 2019 at 05:56 PM

I baked all day to deal with today. I also yelled at my OH a lot. Not a great day but I do have cake.

Jun 16, 2019 at 05:57 PM

Hugs, rainbow. The prep is no fun that's for sure!! I agree it's worse than the procedure.

Started a new afghan today, this one for one of my Midwest friends whose first grandbaby is due in August. Yep, I am slightly obsessed with this pattern!

I just read this on the submission guidelines of a literary magazine I was considering sending a story to:

Quote:

Please do not send us any of the following: poetry that sounds like it ought to be on a Hallmark card, poetry you copied from a Hallmark card, anything full of sentimentality.

I like their attitude, though I don't think my story is realistic enough for them.

stopdog · Jun 16, 2019 at 07:11 PM

I have never submitted any of my stories to anywhere. Sometimes I think about it. I never have much actual plot.
I fully support the no hallmark poetry thing.

So while my computer was doing an update today, I figured I'd try writing the first poem in my Smash Poetry Journal (thanks for alerting me to that, Art!) It's about therapy...suppose I could type it up on here if anyone's interested.

I thought the therapist usually came to A Bad End, or was the cause of Bad Ends for other people?
