Cops, were planning to go to Japan in 2024 too. We’ve been talking about it for a few years but needed to wait for Miles to pass on before we started planning as we didn’t want to be away from him for more than a week in his disabled, senior years. A silver lining to losing him is that now we can plan those longer, more faraway travels.
This is the style of crossbody bag I see probably most frequently in Brooklyn lately.

I think most of you know that I’m doing a clinical trial for an alopecia treatment. It’s a year-long trial and I’m 3 1/2 months in, and just yesterday I noticed the first signs of regrowth! It’s just a little patch of some baby hairs, but it was very exciting to see. All the research suggests that with my kind of alopecia, hair regrowth is a near impossibility.
I had to google Shark Flexstyle. Let us know how it is! Ive been lucky that for most of my adult life, I’ve had hair that I can wash-and-go and it looks pretty good like 75% of the time (and I don’t care enough to worry much about the other 25% of the time), but with hormonal changes, the texture is changing and I also lost a lot of hair during covid (either from stress or post-infection effects; probably both) and now my hair needs more effort if I want it to look good. I’ve never put much effort into my hair, so this is new for me. Maybe a fancy hairdryer is the answer.
Hi Moneypenny! Good to hear from you. I see pics on IG sometimes and you look very happy! Good choice to skip the wedding if the thought makes you anxious.
Congrats on your divorce, BloodyMed. I know there are all sorts of emotions, but ultimately, you get another chance now to live a happier life. That’s worth celebrating.
And good luck with the lump, Ktfran. Hopefully nothing serious, but keep us posted.
Congrats on the wedding, golfer gal!
I’ve read both Our Missing Hearts and Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, and I liked Little Fires way better, fyi. If I’d read Our Missing Hearts first, I probably wouldn’t have read anything else by Ng, which would be a shame because she’s an excellent writer.
I’m so sorry, MJ! I haven’t lost a parent but Drew has lost both his parents – his mom when he was still a kid and his dad about 7 1/2 years ago. From my vantage point, it’s a big process to grieve that loss and come to feeling some peace with it. And the process isn’t linear. Take all the time you need. There’s no way to the other side but through it. But there is another side. 💜
I know that Veritek is married and has a toddler, and Addie Pray is busy lawyering and being what looks like an excellent single mom to her 7-year-old. Not sure about the others. And even though I banned BGM from the site (over a year ago), we’re still friendly on social media and he seems to be healthy and doing well.
Sometimes I wonder if I should rename this thread to reflect the change in relationship status among the most active contributors since it began eight years ago. But hopefully those in relationships are still having “awesome dates” with their partners.
And I’m always excited to hear news of engagements/ weddings/ babies/ promotions/ etc. no pressure!
So, this thread turns eight years old two months from today. It’s on page 938 of comments. I wonder, if we work really hard here, can we hit 1000 pages on the 8th anniversary? We will have to average about seven pages a week every week for the next two months, which is about a page a day, which is about 12 new comments every day. I think we can do it!
I’m sorry, Anon, and I hope you don’t beat yourself up too much. You did what you had to do in the moment to keep your sanity.
I rage quit my first “real job” out of college. I was treated so poorly and there was a final straw that I don’t even remember, but I do remember that I rage quit on the spot, grabbed a box and cleared my desk and left, no plan in place. I was a single 23-year-old with no safety net and no idea how I was going to support myself. But it all worked out eventually.
