I have a number of (female) friends on Fb that post pictures of their dog taking up too much space in their bed.

I don't fucking get that. Kick the fucking dog out of your bed, for fuck's sake.

Curious if any of you guys allow that nonsense. I truly don't get it. I used to let my mom's cats sleep in my bed, but that's because it was cold as fuck in MI and they don't take up much space.

Izzy gets the run of the house except for our bed and the nice couch in the living room.

Not hard to train a dog to stay off these things.

He used to be trained to stay off the bed, but when he got old and grey enough my wife started inviting him up and I stopped fighting her. He pretty much knows to stay on her side of the bed.

I logged in the other day to just see how the cess pool is going. It's still much the same, but luckily every post isn't political. But there are too many videos that just start playing and too many advertisements.

I don't have messenger or the Facebook app on my phone, so I log in via the website. What sucks is I can't read my messages that way so I then have to use a URL that forces a desktop set up.

Ultimately, I'm glad I've 97% disconnected from the shit because I know I'd get in trouble at some point because of what I say. Maybe when I'm done and retired I'll comment again, but whatever. That's a couple years away.

Our dog has the run of the house - except she is not allowed on our bed or our daughter's bed. No problems, there.

We have three cats and one of them occasionally sleeps next to my wife on the edge away from me. So, I can live with that. All three of them occasionally hang out on top of the bed during the day.

Ok, faith restored. I just had a run of 3 different ppl posting faux frustrated pictures of their dogs taking up too much room in their bed and I just don't understand it.

I love our dog, fiercely. She ain't gettin' on my bed.

Commenter under Buttigieg article:
This guy is becoming creepier by the day; he's taking extremist positions just like the other Dems who are stepping all over their leftist feet.
Original poster asks what's creepy...
Reparations, abolish electoral college, single-payer universal healthcare, etc.
Not one Dem is worthy of the presidency and most are deserving of only contempt and revulsion. Living in CT means that whomever the Dem candidate is will win the EC in my state, so my non-vote for president literally makes no difference.

Regarding Ljam’s comment on Brian’s FB post about his TV interview. Wasn’t it rballer who wore the gloves?

Not really ridiculous, but not sure where else to put this.

From a woman who I barely knew in high school:
A man befriended me on facebook. There was no photo attached to his profile. He began messaging me recently: happy birthday, happy jewish new year...so I responded, politely. I then asked that he put a photo to his profile and he said he would email me his photo. I asked why he didn't have any photos, and this was his response:
"because as you may or may not know I'm married and not looking to change. I like my wife and we get along but there's little sex, health reasons. I'm very discreet so no public photo. btw I totally respect you may not be comfortable with this and if so wish you all the best. otherwise love to continue our conversation."

Such a gentleman...he respects me if I do not wish to be his "concubine". As a single woman in her 50s, I appreciate that I am not a commodity...generally men seek out younger women and I am extremely young at heart and active, so I'm not looking to be a caregiver...but random virtue testing and proposals to be the "other woman" is, insulting, and disrespectful...there are websites for "cheaters" and I, for one, do not stray (I confess that when I was 17 and my boyfriend and I were at separate camps, I did cheat...the only time and I did confess to him then and within the last two years again).

Dating at my age is challenging enough, adding one more layer of being the other woman is not something I, or most women my age are craving.

Same woman - last night's post:
True story: it happened again! Another guy, just celebrated his anniversary with his wife and messaged me this evening that he is impressed with my intelligence and beauty and send a huge emoji saying “I like you”. Did he not read my post? Did I seem like I was kidding? How was I not transparent? So, for the record, I will not engage in an affair with a man who is involved in a relationship with someone else. I will not do it in a house, Beside a mouse, on the bed, in a sled, I will not do it ever, that means zero chance. That means never. And in case you don’t understand, not a chance.

This came up in my Facebook feed and I was at the game but I remember very little about it because I was dropped acid before the game and was zonked 10 ways from Sunday. But I was there. I know that. Actually probably not too far out of frame to the right here. (I obviously can't mention that on Facebook. My mom and aunts and whatnot are on there.)

Took in an O’s game on a large amount of mushrooms one night. That white ball left many trails and the field was undulating.

They only light the field and it’s dark as shit in the stands, way darker than even a rock concert which is beyond fucked up for a sporting event. Really sinister.

Of course that could just be the acid talking.

She's back!
I am goal orientated. So, for my 45th birthday, I decided to compete in Ironman Canada. I had eight months to do so, having never competed in a triathlon. I trained twice a day, in the pool, on the bike, on the treadmill. In the midst of it, my whole world collapsed: six weeks prior to the race, my husband left me and for another woman. (the other woman, was most likely the symptom). For me, trust is everything. Just before the race, I found out that he had been having an affair for at least a year (the phone records were the evidence). Suffice it to say that my mind was nowhere in the competition,but instead, embroiled in trying to save a marriage that could not be saved. On the day of the race, I just needed a good workout. I left him on the mountain, and completed it in 14 hours, 48 minutes.
Ten years later, here I am. I took it personally, blamed myself, thought what I had done to make him stray. I can count on my fingers and toes the number of relationships and encounters since, that were affected by my experience. No more. As my father always said, today is day 1.
I have always wanted to compete in the Boston Marathon, but never believed I could qualify.
So, for my 55th birthday year, I hope to qualify for Boston, 2021. It is my victory lap, and I sure am going to do my best to qualify.
Fear is what will prevent you from achieving your goals. Fear will destroy you. I no longer am fearful, of qualifying, or of life. Life is precious and fleeting, and it is your time, right now.

Posts like that for me are simultaneously the scene in Hitch when Will Smith, in the rain, says to his crush while she's making out with a dude "What have I done???" And the guy is like "You're doing it right now."

And the scene in The Truman Show when he's becoming self aware and his wife is doing an ad for some product and he's like "Who are you talking to?"

She looks good for a woman of 55 or so.

But she reminds me of the old joke:

Why do Jewish men die before their wives?

Because they want to.
