Woooo, TGIF! The short weeks always feel so long. We don't have much planned for this weekend. I think we're going to try to do dinner and a movie on Sunday for a late anniversary celebration. Other than that, H will be working, so I'm going to do laundry and watch Netflix. LINGERLONGER We watched the first episode of American Vandal last night, and it was hilarious. I can't wait to keep watching. Edited for clarity

eba1012, happy early anniversary! Laundry and Netflix can be an awesome way to spend part of a weekend. I'm so happy it's Friday. It's been one of those weeks that just seems to exist outside of time, and I've had absolutely no idea what day it is most of the time. I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow! Poor H is working 5:30 am-2:30 pm both days this weekend. We are also supposed to have another design meeting for his website on Sunday. He's serious about re-launching it, so we've got to keep the work moving forward.

I wasn't very clear lol. Yay for sleeping in! Hopefully the design meeting for YH's website is productive.

We're at the airport waiting for our flight. Between the early wakeup and staying up way too late watching the Cubs game, I am tired. H was hangry, which is always fun to deal with at the airport. I really hope to nap on the plane.

righthandman enjoy your vacation! It can only get better from here I'm enjoying my day off. We took a very long walk in a beautiful park on the water. I picked up groceries for breakfast tomorrow on the way home. My neighbor (who is the best) left us a card wishing us good luck along with a scratch card for me and a chew for Stormy. Next on the agenda: massage!

Happy Friday!!!! eba1012, that sounds like a nice date! And Laundry & Netflix IS a pretty great weekend - it means you don't have to see anybodies faces! efmcc67, I'm glad you get to sleep in!!! I hope he's able to launch his website soon! I'm assuming it will help him earn $ outside of his regular job? I'm sure that will definitely be a plus, making the work you're doing now totally worth it! righthandman, I'm sorry your morning was rough; can you grab a snack so everyone has a happy & full belly? FX you get to nap! Yesterday was such a productive day! We tasted and ordered our cake (vanilla w. raspberry & buttercream and chocolate w. raspberry & buttercream), bought my wedding band, got FI sized, decided on his groomsmen gifts, stopped at the liquor store, AND got chipotle!

I'm sure that will definitely be a plus, making the work you're doing now totally worth it! Our plan is to launch by January 1, maybe doing a soft launch before then. The ultimate goal is to have the site make money in some way, through merchandise, advertising, or (when he's established enough of a following) crowd-funding through Patreon. He's also hoping that having substantive work online will help him get graphic design jobs, since it will give him something substantive to point to. Sounds like you had a really productive day yesterday, with Chipotle as a bonus! I want a burrito now...

Omg isn't it awesome eba1012? I had an appointment this morning. It started well. I won a gift basket (that I'll get sometime after they put it together. Lol! Yay for another day of a good surprise!) But then... I found out the person I was seeing is friends with a problematic local family. Quick backstory: the husband is a retired cop who committed statutory rape (he was well aware, by his own admission that she was underage) he barely received any punishment, and the family owns a local bar. A while back I got into it with his wife in the comments section of a local news story. It got wild. She threatened me and then threatened to sue me. BIG THING! As it turns out the person I saw today is sort of siding with the family in that the young girl is manipulative, and known to be slutty... And holy crap. I said it's the adult's job to put the brakes on and not let anything happen, no matter how manipulative a child might be. I almost want to stop seeing this person, but they are my only option within a 2 hour radius. So yeah, my day went to shit fast. Real fast.

What a rollercoaster morning, LINGERLONGER. Jesus those people are shit. I'm so sorry that your options are limited. And yes, the show is amazing. In this crazy, fucked up world it is exactly what I need.

In this crazy, fucked up world it is exactly what I need. I'm just so at a loss. This person is normally so level headed. It has to be because of the personal connection, but still. Apparently the family had taken the girl in at one point, long before the rape, so everyone that is friends with the family sees it as a huge betrayal in her part but dude! That bothers me even more, because that means asshole knew that not only was she a child, but because of her troubles life she was extremely vulnerable. Oh the laughs were so needed, and they were good laughs. You never feel like you're laughing at someone's expense.

LINGERLONGER, that's fucking awful. I think my head exploded reading that reasoning. I would probably want to stop seeing that person, too, but spending half a day driving to/from a medical appointment sounds terrible.

LINGERLONGER , OMG. I'm so sorry you're forced to rely on a person with such questionable morals. Adults are always ADULTS. Unless he is legally mentally handicapped, he is 100% at fault, regardless of how many people the teen has had relations with. ETA: they took her in and are ACCUSING HER OF BETRAYING THEM because HE raped HER?

Who uses the word slutty when talking about an underage girl who was raped BY AN EX COP WHO WAS STILL IN AUTHORITY OVER HER?!? I don't care if she ripped her fucking clothes off in front of him. He did not need to stick his dick in her.

Well, see, it was consensual, you know, as long as you're willing to overlook that tiny detail of her not being able to consent.

Yeah, being "slutty" (i.e. having any sort of sex life) doesn't excuse someone from raping or assaulting you. And to use those words about a child?!
And people wonder why women don't report. JFC.
