while useful it could be better if structured
"that's great because..."

I've always interpreted that smile as a fake smile haha. I know that is purely me, and probably not intended at all.... but I hate that one. I rarely use it myself. I substitute it with
"That's great" would work fine in a regular conversation but sometimes tone of voice is hard to read through text so the smiley helps with that.

lolWhat you going to the doc for?
I'm not dyin' or nothin', but I'd prefer not finding out I have a different disease every time I go.
I got a new doctor and now I'm really looking forward to the next appointment in 11 days. Even getting bloodwork back!
Use condoms you WHORE!
But you been getting sick often these days dude? What has been going on if I may ask?
I'm a badass
Pokempn Go is such a cool phenomenon I almost can't believe anyone sees it as a bad or harmful thing
I like biting into meat with my canines if that counts.
If I'm gonna keep playing pokemon go effectively I need to invest in a portable power bank

My mom has fucking outed me to the entire god damn extended fucking family because she can't keep her big fucking mouth shut for five fucking seconds
It's not her place to tell people. I didn't even get to tell my fucking dad. I'm so mad someone please take my phone before i fucking call her and go off on her
She's fucking ruined this for me. Like I wanted to tell them myself. I'm furious, I can't fucking believe she would do this shit to me

Of course she's not at her fucking desk
You should sometime tell her that this was wrong but yeah wait till you cool down...
This is why I hate telling anyone anything tho. Family members can't seem to keep a secret :/

I'm happy for ya'. It's a good thing to take care of yourself. I should've started sooner tbh.
Bout two months back found out I had some sort of Inflammatory Bowel Disease that was making me bleed internally. The medicine seems to handle it well enough. Went to the follow-up today, and according to the blood they took last time, I'm positive for Hepatitis B somehow.
Can't wait til I go back in two more months or whenever and discover I'm bout to go blind or something.
Yeah. My previous doctor I had I knew since I was 2 so it felt like she was a family friend which made things feel a bit awkward for me.
Geez that's not fun. I'm hoping whatever I have is easily treatable. (As of now it appears to be nothing physical which is simultaneously good and bad but I'll see)

I just cannot fucking believe she would violate my trust like this
And I just know I'm gonna call and she's gonna play the fucking victim.
It's very parent-like expecting that information related to their children is for them to share. Tho knowing parents usually sharing something means they're proud cause if they were ashamed they'd hide it so that's something.
Did you get any reactions from other family members yet considering you know she told?

I'm disappointed that it wasn't Gingrich, because how symbolic would it be to see Hillary defeat that remnant of 90's Clinton opposition?
ha! yeah that would have been great
I just can't wait for this shitshow to be over and finally have a woman for president.
My mom did this to me when I was a teenager with the rest of my family. I guess she figured I wouldn't bother to do it myself (which was probably true). It was still aggravating, though.

What started this is I got a letter from my aunt and she was all "it's okay we love you no matter what". At first I was like "what is she talking about" and then it hit me, and it had to have been my mom cause she's the only one I fucking told.
Apparently she thought I wanted her to tell them. Was also unsympathetic and defensive. Okay mom. Fuck you, too.

Sorry Em that sucks

Just remember that it already happened and there's no taking it back and your mom isn't likely to see your perspective so being mad won't accomplish anything. Just keep it in mind when telling your mom important things in the future
/things my therapist would tell me though probably not worded as well

Ah shit, Em. That fucking sucks. My mom sometimes will divulge on private matters that no one else needs to know about me, but her reasoning is that "It's just X!". That's not the point, people talk, and the less people know, the better. It's simple probability.
I can't even imagine tanks suddenly blocking roads and jets flying overhead with soldiers yelling "we're taking over"
It'd be terrifying
One of my best friends was in Turkey just a month ago. It's really scary to think about.

I hope Erdogan doesn't get replaced with someone worse, but that's usually how military coups go.

Men's clothes are mostly about layering to get something remotely interesting.
But obviously in sweltering summer heat, that's not a good idea. So idek.

Theres a lot of things you can do to accessorize a plain nice fitting t shirt but once you get to church/not quite fancy but close to it restaurant/country club level everyone wears the same junk
as someone who doesn't like polos I don't have a lot of options in the summer, so I generally just wear fitted plain t shirts since graphic Ts are generally speaking a travesty
plain shirts and stuff look totally great as long as they fit you correctly
I wear the button downs here and there

I'm sorry Em. At the very least she could've owned up to screwing up.
