I'm bored. Want to do compliments/ insults/ ask me anything?
Freestyle. Ask or request whatever you want.
ETA: I'll do superlatives! We haven't done those in awhile. Or whatever else.
Re: I'm bored. Want to do compliments/ insults/ ask me anything?
All i want to do is zoom a zoom zoom zoom and a boom boom!
i'll take anything for 9000, Alex!
I owuld like a compliement and an Insult
Do you like living in SM better then SB?
Nicest, most genuine Nestie. I think you are a wonderful mother and the world is a better place because you will be mothering one more child.
I will give you a compliment: I think you are incredibly intelligent and wise on a lot of issues. You are also supercute. And I covet your house.
If you want to give a superlative in return, I would not object.
ETA - I would take an insult or a compliment too. I am not picky.
I could really use a compliment as I had a bad day today.
I will also ask you a few questions:
(1) What part of California do you live in? Do you love it or hate it?
(2) High heels or flats?
(3) Wine or Margaritas?
(4) What's your all time favorite television show?
Most Patient and Devoted. You really exemplify commitment to marriage. You have been endlessly supportive of your husband. I have faith you are going to grow and assert yourself more and I think you'll force your DH to evolve with you.
Surprise me.
Also, I've lost 11 lbs, mostly thanks to you.
Yes, it's me. I finally got the Nest Gods to change my old user name (remove asterisk) so I could update my profile. They added the "123"
JLH! I'm happy you are back! You have exquisite taste, so I'll name you Most Tasteful. You are really a lovely person. How have you been?
I'll take some advice. WWYD-
Option A- live with my parents indefinitely, since I can't file for divorce until November and I'll at least be paying the mortgage until then, but probably past then as well
Option B- get a part-time waitressing job and move out, most likely living with a roommate or two.
I'll be 30 in June. I've never lived on my own, with roommates or not. I went right from my parents to living with xh. I'm dying to get out on my own. But, I feel slightly ridiculous waiting tables considering the money I make at my full-time job.
You are adorable! I loved meeting you. No insults, can't do it! No, I do not like Santa Monuca better than Santa Barbara. SB is my favorite place on earth and I can't wait to move back. But my job requires me to be here so . . .
Dupe.
omg, thanks! that was totally sweet of you to say!
I think you're incredibly interesting and it's weird how often you pop up into my mind on a weekly basis, probably.
Just little things... hearing Cold Play on the radio... folding my sheets and wondering what they'd be like IRONED!? lol..
... huskies walking by on a leash... etc... Besides, you and I were here together in the very beginning. and maaaaan, what a long way we've both come, huh? 
You are a genuinely good person. I admire your commitment to your profession. Oh shoot. An insult? You sacrifice too much!
Option B. You need to be on your own, and waitressing is fun (for a while). Get a month-to-month lease and if you can't hack it, move back home. But you need to assert your independence!
Oh, wait, I'm not Elle.
OMG, you are so much fun. If you lived closer I'd want to be drinking buddies. You have great energy. Insult? I guess I'll say you are very outspoken. But I like outspoken and am myself so I don't really consider that a negative attribute.
