I drink the juice from jars of pickles. I have a large jar of bread and butter juice that the pickles have been gone from for quite some time. I take a big swig at least once a day. I would love to drink more, but it gives me an upset stomach if I have too much.
This is gross. But, my dad does it and swears that it cures cancer or some shit like that.

One of my college roommates used to put pickle juice on his sandwiches, much like one would drizzle Italian dressing on a sub sandwich. He swore it was good, but I never understood the appeal.

I've had half a bottle of wine, so excuse me if I'm confused, but what is bread and butter juice?
I think a lot of the girls on Starting Over are batshit crazy.
There are more normal women than not, but I don't wonder why some of the regulars have such trials in dating/life.
I know everyone heals at a different pace, but I think a good standard for *many* of the women would be to not date for 1 year after separation/split/divorce. It never hurt anyone to be alone for a bit.

No flames from me. I finished a costco-sized jar of olives in like two weeks, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't keeping the juice around to take a little nip from now and then. I say I'm keeping it for a martini or something, but honestly I'm holding the booze and drinking it at the fridge.

Not gross! And actually, it can be pretty good for you. There are many athletes that drink pickle juice after workouts because it replaces so many essential electrolytes and sodium in the body.

Just the juice from a jar of bead and butter pickles.

I was kidding! And I reassured you immediately. And I didn't talk about you in the third person, which is how you can tell for sure. lol.
This is how I know I've arrived.
LOL @ both of you. I know you were kidding dexteroni, I (unlike the other situation?) can make fun of myself back. That, unlike the other 3rd party joke, WAS FUNNY.

MY ex bf used to drink pickle juice with vodka every night.

Fuck, you probably judge me.
Although I guess I wasn't technically dating anyone before a year, just having sex lol.
Wait, no, I lie...I definitely started liking boyfriend before a year post separation.
Aren't you in Canada, though? I think it's easier to be all BOOTSTRAPS about college education when it isn't insanely expensive.
Unless you are flying in your private plane and making it rain while your kid wears rags to pay off college loans, I don't think there's anything wrong with expecting them to pay for their own education. If you want to work more years to help them with debt then more power to you. But judging people who choose to prioritize their own hard-earned retirement is ridiculous IMO.
Just to be clear, I am judging the "I worked my way through school and my kid can too BOOTSTRAPS" line of thinking. If parents can't or won't help for whatever reason, just let it be and own it. There really isn't reason to pretend that a kid is going to work their way through school and somehow magically cover their tuition at today's costs. It is close to an impossibility for most kids to work their way through school. They are borrowing their way through.
ETA: I have no issue with expecting kids to work and help contribute. I agree with that 100%.

If she is judging you, one can only wonder what she is thinking about me.
I don't want to hide her because I enjoy her other stuff.
FTR, it's been twelve years. Not that I'd ever expect her to forget, but it's been a long time. I understand posting it on the day of his birth/death, maybe mother's and father's day, that kind of thing. But she posts it like 3-4 times a month still.
Yes, it's been a long time, but that is how you view it. To her, the pain is probably just as fresh as if it happened yesterday. Allowing her to grieve by only posting a picture 4 days a year (as you suggest) seems very callous and hurtful.

I don't think I've looked at SO here. I glanced it a few times back on TN, maybe when it was first created? And I thought the same thing then. It was so super fighty and dramatic that it didn't surprise me one bit that those people weren't sustaining relationships.* I doubt it's any of the same people now though, although I don't know if that board has a permanent cast of characters like MM and ML do.
*In no way am I saying anyone who gets divorced is predisposed to the dramz. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Dude we've seen pictures of him. You get a pass on that one.

What's gross about this confession is that it's bread and butter pickle juice. I used to drink dill pickle juice when I was a teenager. I was a disgusting human being then, so if you looked under my bed you'd see at least one empty pickle jar hanging out with a fork in it.

In this vein, that deleted thread where the detective girlfriend stalked and then posted all sorts of details about the OP's life? I could kinda see her point.... not that she wasn't crazy too...

You've gotta read, sweets. I said many, not all.
I think there's something to learning to be totally okay alone before seeking out another relationship.
I can speak to this because I was 30 before I'd ever really been alone. I had a high school sweetheart, married my college bf, etc.
It.is.an.adjustment. I get it. Witnessing the manic, desperate energy over there is too much, sometimes.
But yes, I do judge things and will koko with that.

I totally thought that too! But everyone was running to the defense of the GBCNer so I kept my mouth shut.

I agree with you on the 1 year. I'm only separated right now but I can't even imagine dating again...like ever. Eff that noise. I'm going to adopt like 20 dogs instead

Rikki, your transition certainly took place in rapid sequence, but you handled each stage like a champ. I would venture to say that's a nearly universal sentiment here, or at least a very common one.
And @wandering, your divorce is so low-key I often forget that you were even married! That's a compliment. I don't know many people who could travel to another continent with a STBX - and begin a new relationship - without it turning into a train wreck.
I can assure you both that I would not have handled either of your situations with even a fraction of the grace that you did.
Oops, I just reassured in the flameworthy post. Oh well. Rules I made up are made to be broken. lol.
