Linguine as long as it's cooked correctly. It's toothsome in the right way.

Orzo can fuck all the way off and when it gets to fuckoffville it can fuck off even further.

A friend who worked in ER told me this, a person walking a friend's pit bull while the friend was away, very familiar with the dog, and the dog lunged at a passing dog, they gripped the leash so it didn't get away, and it turned on them instead and ripped their arm right off. Someone called 911 and the cops had to shoot and kill the dog to stop the attack. The arm could not be saved at all. Imagine talking to your friend when they returned when you suddenly have no arm and the dog is gone? What's that conversation like?

No pit bull apologist will ever convince me they're safe dogs. I have a few other stories, including my own niece needing four facial plastic surgeries due to a family pet attacking her. Those dogs should be banned.

I am in Canada and I can and do get one every six months. The least risk the better. People minimize COVID now but it's still really a bad thing.

No, but once I thought I did. I was in a fight with my nasty SO, and I finally said to whatever he was being a narcissist about, "Do whatever you want, you always do". I thought that was a pretty original thing to say as a comeback, and then I read Stephen King's book Lisey's Story, and a character in there says the same thing.

There is this loopy crunchy family in Australia who had twins in a very dangerous home birth, but they did live, and they named them Maxamillion and Merlin Radbod. Is that a good set of names for future? Not sure but it was something.

I saw a woman outside in the giant snow storm we had last weekend in flip flops and a sleeveless sundress.

I don't eat animal products anymore, but I did eat a Kentucky hot brown once and that was interesting at the time. Unfortunately the restaurant I ate it in that was in Kentucky was so scary because there were actual Klan members in there and they were smoking in the restaurant. It was the absolute only place open on a Sunday to eat and it was kind of scary.

Garbage plates! I don't eat animal products anymore but that was a fun thing to eat. Also a Kentucky hot brown was an interesting dish, even though I ended up eating that in a restaurant that had actual Klan members in it.

And also a lot of people are not getting vaccinated for influenza and COVID and whatall. I read that only 17 percent of children in Kentucky this year got the flu shot, and while they're obviously crazy down there compared to us that's dismal. I myself got some virus in December that took my voice away for weeks, and I am religious about vaccines.

I heard that one. Anyone who uses the word woke seriously is a joke.

Should have been rethought the first time the orange rapist won. That signals how unstable they are.

I know a cardiovascular tech who is a pediatric cardiologist in Pakistan. He feels lucky to have this job even though it's a waste of his talents, and worked as a security guard when he got here. I also know a psychiatrist from South Africa who was forced to work as a GP for five years in rural Nova Scotia before being able to practice in his field, a German psychiatrist who had to redo five years of residency, a Bolivian neurologist who became a PA and is redoing his residency, and my own GP was a respirologist in Croatia and had to go back through medical school to work here. It's a waste of much needed talent, and while there are certainly educational differences, surely we could create bridging programs for these doctors to get them up to our skill requirements and fast track them. Instead we continue to import people to work at Tim Hortons or simply not at all, in a housing crunch. It's a huge waste. International doctors often are the only ones who work in subspecialist clinics, because some specialities are not very well paid if you are Canadian and went to school here, so we really do need them.

The other problem nobody is addressing is how the Saudi government buys their doctors positions here and gives them large pensions for it, and they're sometimes not very qualified, and I've had some male residents who REALLY hate women because they're conservative Muslims and don't think they should have to work with us. The Saudi government will also demand their doctors come back whenever they want by taking away their pensions, and make them come back and work in hospitals there. They also will stop Saudi women from going to medical school here. I don't know how much money they hand our health care system, but it's hugely problematic and unethical.

In Ontario a few months ago there was a case of familicide, where a father killed his wife and two kids in a small community in the north, and then himself. Not much information released but rumour has it that he had a Gadsden flag on the property which is an American right wing extremism flag, and that he had been fired from his job for espousing conspiracy theories. Sometimes I think people just drive themselves crazy.

No offense at all. This was beautiful and thank you for reminding me.

I am goddamned gorgeous.

On the outside yes haha. I think she stopped taking it after that. And it's the only one that works for me either. It's just so weird!

He had redeeming qualities but he is always a manipulator and liar under it all. I really should have left long ago. He seems different than typical douchy men in that he's progressive at least as a front, but he's said some racist shit to me in private when in a rage that speaks the truth to who he is, despite liking black history, etc. I keep thinking about his mother lately who I haven't seen in over 20 years, and the weird things she would do to pit her kids against each other, and dismay people by giving them gifts of literal trash. You know when people ask what the worst Christmas gift you ever got was? She would give me her very used bathrobe and other things that would be literally garbage to anyone else, that she had picked up off the ground, simply so people would be disturbed and provoked by her. She wore mosquito netting to her daughter's outdoor wedding because West Nile was an issue that year, and is smirking in all the pictures under it. My therapist calls this malignant narcissism, and while he doesn't give gifts of trash, instead he'll buy me something that's really unique and thoughtful, but if you understand the subtext it really all belongs to him, and it's so he can post pictures on Instagram to display his fine taste in things. If I moved out and tried to take those things with me, it would quickly become clear who they really belong to. I basically own my clothes, books, and toiletries, and everything else is his. It's partly why I can't move out.

I wish I had had children. But not with him. I would have liked to foster kids, I would be very good at that. I hold babies and kids at church all the time and will babysit their kids, and it's so much fun for me. I wish I had taken a different pathway. I grew up with a BPD mom, who is really dangerous and vicious and manipulative, and my therapist says when you've been traumatized by a parent like that, someone who is similar will seek you out and try and make it seem like they've rescued you.

I'm just sorry it all turned out this way. The rest of my life is reasonably happy if quiet, but this is a huge thing.

It's so hard. I'm sorry.

He told me I was a deceptive little cunt and accused me of withholding money from my paycheck; one of my paychecks per month is smaller than the other simply because it's the one my benefits and union dues come out on. I've worked there 20 years, and this pay pattern has always been this way. I have no idea where this psychosis suddenly came from. I have never hidden money in my life and would never. I think he got this idea because I do surveys for money, managed to save a lot of money to go clothes shopping, and I think he just couldn't believe I made that much. I'm just tenacious. I've made thousands doing this. It's super weird.

I should have left when his mother treated me like trash the first time I met her and ever since, and when I found out he lied to me when we first met in that he didn't tell me he was in a relationship, or when he smashed the fish tank, or ran over a squirrel just to upset me, or any number of things. And I'm so financially fucked I can't do anything.

I don't think I'll ever have a relationship ever again even if I get out of this. How could I trust anyone? I don't blame you for not doing it. It's so much work and so hard.

Ambien is a weird drug under any name and I've done some weird shit on it, but otherwise I'd never go to bed. My friend decoupaged her dishwasher with subway maps on Ambien one night.

I don't miss the sorry excuse for a human I used to have sex with. I miss the sex. Solo activities make me feel lonely though, and I can't navigate someone new at this age. So it's all just drying up like an old chip.

It's ok,I know what you mean. I would honestly rather not have sex anymore because of my circumstances being very difficult, but if I met someone who was interesting and read books and listened to music and dressed well, and took an interest in me and was happy to see me and make an effort to get to know me, and if he was 20 years younger than me, sure why not? As long as he was a good listener about how I like to do it, because I'm different than other women in how I like to get off.

But this man has overall been a disaster for me, masquerading as someone good, but just really cut from the same cloth as his malignant narcissist mother, which is pretty bad. He accused me tonight of some things that were pretty ugly, and that's hard. I'd love to spend some time with someone who actually seemed to like me all of the time. I'm writing this while on my Ambien so it's hard to articulate.
