Roku may dispute that the breach and the TOS change are related, but the timing is certainly suspect.

Heya, friend. I identified strongly with your inner monologue, if not from the same cause. I'm peri menopausal. I hope it brings you a bit of comfort to hear that many other women are having the same thoughts and feelings.

If I can share what's helped me: I went back to a strategy I learned in my adolescent years... Sometimes confidence breeds confidence. I do my best to practice it until it becomes internalized and "exuded."

As you move through your journey, know some old lady in Baltimore is rooting for you.

All the seriously messed up stuff aside, this line made me giggle.

Some inside the White House called McEntee’s staff “the Rockettes and the Dungeons and Dragons Group.”

When she smiled

When I was in high school, I hung out with a guy named "Gooch." Curiosity got the better of me, and I asked why everyone called him Gooch. Turns out, it was his last name, not a nickname as I'd assumed. No lie: I told him with a name like that, he'd end up as a supreme court justice or junky.

Wish I was back in Texas. The ocean's no place for a squirrel.

They better hurry up and remake this so Lady Gaga can get the part.

Texit?

I wonder why the Baltimore community is so dead, then.

I recently switched to decaf tea each morning, and the ritual around it certainly feels like I'm brewing up a potion. Some mornings it's a potion of "I got this." Other days, it's a hex against my coworkers. Each tea has its own limitless possibility.

Increasingly in my life, I've found this to manifest as an intolerance of frustration. Need a tool that's not at hand? That project's never getting finished. Anyone have methods for coping with this?

This is essentially why I've had such a hard time with this. Yeah, it was rude to ask for her to keep my dog for an hour and a half while I had a meal out. That said, if you can't ask for what you need from family during hardship, who can you ask?!

At the end of the day, I was asking to put my dog in her backyard for 90 minutes so I could grieve with my immediate family. It's just so hurtful that she couldn't attend the funeral, nor could she be bothered to let my dog exist on her property.
