How is it possible that, after taking literally thousands of showers in my life, I can still lapse into complete amnesia and turn the knob the opposite direction of the water temperature I wanted?

Why are stupid people still allowed to talk?

Why are stupid people still allowed to talk? To remind us that we're both 1) smarter than most, and 2) surrounded. |

Have we always been THIS intolerant (in this country)? It would seem so but if I look back in history so much has changed and intolerance, of other people based on gender and skin color, was far worse. Are we getting better and just fighting new battles for equality?

Do you think the Jehovah's witness folks who stopped by my house earlier would appreciate me peddling my 'religion' of peace, understanding, love, and tolerance on their doorstep? I would have Ryan help me with my 'good book', he can draw pictures so there will be illustrations so people won't be confused. Hmmm...

Have we always been THIS intolerant (in this country)? It would seem so but if I look back in history so much has changed and intolerance, of other people based on gender and skin color, was far worse. Are we getting better and just fighting new battles for equality? I think that there are a lot of people who have been quietly bigoted, backwards, and intolerant. Every so often, someone comes forward and unifies them, or gives them a voice. It creates an environment for bigotry to be open, to express it because there is safety in numbers. Herd mentality. I think that change happens when people rail against change. In other words, tolerance doesn't come because time passes, and we just become used to new, more all-encompassing attitudes. Change happens when people like us witness the ugliness and won't tolerate it. Change is the backlash against the backlash. It's happening right now. We see the extent of this hateful, despicable discrimination, and we're shocked at how prevalent it is. We're aghast at the numbers of ignorants. These people who want to stop the world and put everyone into neat little compartments where they're silent. Now, we fight back. We shove it down their throats. We demonstrate. We teach. We model. We fight. They push back, and we push forward. The only way we lose is complacency. Forward always wins. Not as quickly as we might like, but the future always leaves the past behind, eventually. |

I agree. All of that. J and I had a very interesting conversation about Christianity and ISIS and extremist Islam and how Christianity didn't always have a pretty past and how did it get to the point where it is now where the majority of Christians are not aggressive, hostile people. Being intolerant to intolerance and hate and bigotry by the majority is what created change. Interesting stuff to ponder.

I get giddy when L is wrong about something. I don't even call him out on it. The expression on his face when he figures out how wrong he was is too good. I realize this makes me a bad person and possibly a really bad spouse.
But that shit right there is funny. I don't care who ya are.

And then when he points it out, I'm like, "Oh really. That's weird! I wish we would've known that earlier." And then he points out that I knew. Oh, you're right. I did know that *and* tell you so. Silly me. Yeah. It's definitely not healthy. |

I dread the days he does the books. I'm not a shopper. And he doesn't freak out about extra expenditures like he used too. But I still dread it. I find myself defensive and ready to justify every item. I know this is part of the recovery issue. And typically the only time we fight over money is when he asks me a question about anything I fly into defense mode and freak out on him about nagging me. (Nowadays he's not. He's just like "hey I can't read the date on this receipt... when did you go to sonic for a coke?" Instead of "Thursday" he gets "oh ffs I was THIRSTY and EXHAUSTED and it was Happy hour... it's $2 for chrissakes why are you bitching at me?" Him ".... woman...wth"

It makes the days I do screw up and go overboard on buying random dumb shit that much more tense. I'm literally making more trouble for us by needlessly still freaking. It's like... PTSD or something

He needs to be introduced to the concept of "family funds." That can't be easy.  |
