Things mug-cradlers say

I left my sales job, which I super awesome at, because I can’t tell lies...

I was stronger than I knew!

The best part of waking up is Folger's in your cup.

"My child is very smart, it's just that her teachers don't challenge her enough and don't teach her the way she needs to be taught!"

If you can't deal with the worst of me, you don't deserve the best of me!

I had great potential with this company, but my personal integrity clashed with their need for profits

Follow your BLISS!!

"Men are disgusting. All they think about is sex, sex, sex. There is more to life , you know. I just want a man who will listen when I'm talking."

Being a mom is the hardest job in the world!

Love you to the moon and back!

"Dance like no one is watching!"

I'd like to speak to the manager

My fibromyalgia is really bad today. I think I need more “me” time.

I’m allergic to caffeine, dairy, sugar, wheat!

"Please sniff the crotch of my Lululemons, post hot yoga class. They ROCK!"

...short, violent barf...

She’s/he’s living her/his best life!

R12 LOL

Rough day today. I'm tender to the touch.

“This guy...”. The beginning of every Instagram post featuring her kiddo.

"This is simply unaccaptable!"

My subluxation is acting up.

You look so beautiful!!

I need to WFH today - feeling very anxious

#metoo

Sending love to all my sisters today - the amazing, powerful women who keep me grounded but give me the strength to soar

That clip from Mamma Mia 2 is giving me LIFE.

Someone in line in front of me st Dysbicks this morning took a straw for his Frappuccino and I felt it was my responsibility to tell him that straws are killing sea turtles. He ignored me! I think Starbucks needs to remove all plastic straws from there stores!

Dysbicks = Starbucks.

There = their

Oww! My hands are burning!

"Whatever you are, be the best there is at it!"

[quote] “This guy...”. The beginning of every Instagram post featuring her kiddo.

Or (alternately) "This little man..."

....

I’m a woman. What’s your superpower?

"Women hold up half the sky"

"She who leaves a trail of glitter is never forgotten!"

"Be present every day."

"Shine on, you crazy diamond!"

"I'd like to speak to a manager!"

"Awesome sauce!"

“I have the feels”

Bless her/his heart!

I literally can’t.

I’m speaking my truth.

The best part of aging is that I’m comfortable in my own skin.

I have to remember to practice self-care

This is not something a mug-cradler would say; I’m saying it. I love this thread and it’s making me laugh. I could be here all day, quoting these people.

I have my good days and my bad days.

You sound very angry....

Having worked in customer service (aka modern day slavery), r12 wins hands down.

Feeling blessed.

“Yes but what about our vegan colleagues? “

"Don't sweat the small stuff!"

"My Little Man!"

"You GOT this!" Sometimes, this is as redundant and superficial as "thoughts and prayers."

Everyone, everyone...shhh...Sky has something important they want to tell you.

They are just as bad. I’m not voting.

"But her emails..."

Fuck off, mug-cradlers would have been all in for Hillary,

they would view Bernie as a 'commie' threat to America

I am my kids mom.

I don't feel guilty, I feel at peace about this.

Heard yesterday at work after a fuckup by this person.

"That's not in my wheelhouse..."

My DH took me out last night to the Olive Garden! I probably shouldn’t have had that extra Appletini! #blessed

1. “I’m merely asking the question.... 2. “Hnnnnkay?

Your feelings are your own. I’m not responsible for how you feel.

I think r58 might be my favorite.

R64: what exactly is a “wheelhouse”?

This Ayahuasca tastes like regular coconut water! Sir, I need to talk to your Shaman Supervisor this instant!

If there was a camera here, I'd be mugging for it too.

Best. Sunrise. Ever!

Wish this was a thick, warm dick.

I can’t wait for the fall and pumpkin spiced lattes. Yummers!

"Wine-thirty!"

Who you callin' a "mug-cradler," R64?!

Spoonie sisters!

"*insert random object/thing* is giving me LIFE!"

No, cunt, the air you breathe and the fact I've not punched your chest in is what's giving you life, dickturd.

I'm relating so much right now to these rice krispie treats because of how my joints snap, crackle and pop. Yum!

"Ain't nothing going to happen today that me 'n' the Lord can't handle!"

“White women need to take several seats and stop talking.

"I am blessed."

Aerosolized peanuts!

Dysbicks! I’m going to call it that from now on. Thanks R27

If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?

I’m just trying to be a better ally

You can't choose your family LOL!!!

Diet soda gives you CANCER because of the TOXINS!

"We chose not to vaccinate our children. Don't want autistic kids!"

“It’s not always this crazy around here. Sometimes it’s WORSE!”

It was a mug of Diet Coke.

“She believed she could...so she did!”

"Do you have arugula? My body is CRAVING protein!"

"We're stouch [sic] Baptists -- we don't don't believe in gay marriage or mixed marriages. It's unfair to the children because people will discriminate against them."

What is a mug cradler?

If only you could somehow figure it out by the context of the thread, r95.

Am I correct in assuming it involves two hands?

"Have some veggies!"

@goals.

And can I get the dressing on the side, please?

So as I was saying, doctors don’t really know what causes most diseases. I had to go to a holistic healer to get the special pills I need to treat my fungal infection

It’s all due I think to my systemic candida.

I’m trying a special diet!

"I'll have the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, medium fries, and a diet Dr. Pepper. Yes, I'll drive around."

"Are these pork chops gluten-free?"

Some of you are getting this completely wrong.

Being a mug-cradler is not about being bitchy or complaining; it's about being grateful, and being in the moment, and embracing LIFE.

They’re two sides of the same coin, r104.

That is the joke.

No, you missed the joke, r105.

Mug cradlers and Fraus are pretty much the same thing. Maybe one stinks more than the other? Erna can let us know.

Agree ^

Amaze-balls!

[quote]They’re two sides of the same coin,

R105 Is correct.

That's the whole point: lightly scratch the surface and there's the biggest bitch in the world lurking there.

[quote]Fuck off, mug-cradlers would have been all in for Hillary,

[quote]they would view Bernie as a 'commie' threat to America

Um, nope. Mug cradlers are white women, and white women voted for Trump.

My littles

YAAAAS, KWEEN! SLAY, HUNTIES!

Lol, r114.

My CockyBoys subscription empowers me to enjoy my sexuality.

Don't you just love it? I have it on the wall at work!

I am not feeling heard.

R113, that’s sadly accurate.

My life is wonderful

My life is meaningful

My life is alive

I breathe life

I cradle mugs

I cradle life

I've sent the kiddos out of the house with the hubby. I deserve some ME TIME and I'm not going to apologize for it!

Thanks R107.

"So as I was saying...my young daughter is in the BEST private elementary school and she was looking at artwork adorning the fine dining restaurant we were at and she asked me, 'Mommy is that pointillism?' and I couldn't believe what I was hearing!"

"Why haven't you signed up for the office pot luck?"

Be Blessed.

I refuse to use feminine hygiene products due to all the toxins, it's got to be a moon cup or a reusable organic cloth napkin. Don't even think about turning your nose up at me, I won't give myself CANCER just to satisfy your olfactory senses! Plenty of men LOVE the way I smell, so stop your complaining!

R112 really? I can name about 5 women who fall into the mud cradler category and they ALL voted for Hillary , few of them CONSTANTLY post anti Trump stuff on Facebook, yes I'm FB friends with a few from work

Thanks r126 I guess that proves the post election data wrong.

R127 white women may have voted for Trump but the mug cradling types, who post shit like, "Being a woman is my superpower!", DID not.

That's poor Hillary supporter bullshit

r22 Brings up an interesting symptom of fraudom. These heifers could post a picture of themselves sloppy, unshowered, BMI hovering above the 40's, with their maxi pad hanging out and leftovers from dinner between their cleavage, and all their best fraunds will comment in droves about how GORGEOUS they look! Do they know they're lying to each other?

R128 sorry but mug cradlers are quintessential white women. Until there’s a specific mud cradling poll:

Do you cradle your mug?

Do you have fibromyalgia?

Did you vote for Donald J. Trump?

I’m with the cradlers being trumpkins.

Mug cradler

The teachers and physicians say my child needs prescription medication. He is an INDIGO child and special!!!

What would Rachel do?

"#time slow down". As being a mommy is my everything, I never want my crotch droppings to grow up

"Silent prayer request please" : as stated on social media which means I want people to know somethings wrong, garnering the sympathy and attention I so desperately need ,but ask me through my DM's so I can have many separate conversations about my issues

It used to be who is Mary and who is Rhoda.

Lol r134

The bit I like the most is, my husband hasn’t sussed me out yet!

I’m on my journey!

You do you!

Don't mess with mama bear's cubs because.....

“It’s fine.”

R130 yes I'm agreeing with you but the mug cradlercradling type of white women voted for Hillary

Trump supporters don't post bullshit like , "Being a woman is my superpower and contribution to the world "

Again my 5 FB friends whom I would put in the mug cradling department are all Democrat and some CONSTANTLY post anti Trump stuff on their way in between their Pumpkin Spice obsessions, fat women are beautiful etc

Some of you here just don't understand!

Shiplap is EVERYTHING!

GRATUITOUS MISOGINY THREAD

I'm being a warrior today and powering through the pain!

R145 I wish I could give you some of MY spoons, I am nailing today

You should go see I feel Pretty it was so good!

#ladyboss

#mommypreneur

That Starbucks manager was appalling. Why did she think the anti-loitering policy applied to black people? I would have poured them a free Java and apologized for enslaving them TO THIS VERY DAY.

"I'm one of the GOOD whites!"

"Why do we even HAVE borders and countries?"

"I love it how I'M the bad guy for divorcing my husband. If you're not living your best life you need to make changes. The kids will be fine."

"Don't tell anyone, but I literally booked this vacation just to take this photo"

#MeToo!

How does my pussy taste?

Who needs java on a day like this?

I'm not religious but I'm very spiritual

"I thought I'd do something unique, like do a yoga pose in front of Machu Picchu."

R158, so spontaneous!

I love to inspire womyn with my creativity

Be the best you that you can be

Well, by coincidence I was wearing my yoga pants on the trip to Machu Picchu today, so I figured, Hey, Why Not!!! LOL :) #LYBL

Hashtag SO WORTH IT

Nitpick: most of these yoga bitches have terrible form. There’s no point in doing it if you’re not aligned in a balanced way.

I’m sure some instructor tried to correct that mug-cradler’s pose and she was all offended and said “it’s my journey! Let me get there how I need to”

I need to leave work early for the next two weeks to drive one of my kiddos to soccer camp, but one of the gays can pick up my slack since they don’t have family obligations.

"______ is my jam!"

My Facebook lists “dragonfly” as my middle name, to reflect my unique, creative spirit, and defines me as “Born. Emerging. Attuning.”

Mug Cradlers are all for Hillary. They hate President Trump, and really dislike Bernie and those of us who support him, and they really loathe 3rd party voters/candidates.

So sad! So scary!

r166 -- Who the fuck says that?! Where did it start?

Yes, Connor died of whooping cough, but at least he went out unvaccinated.

“I’ll borrow my Mom’s, her scarf, but my Mother’s tampons...NO WAY!”

Ooops earrings!

The 15 mug-cradling female teachers I work with are ALL for Trump. Amid their sniffling and re-adjusting their cardigans, they speak with glee about Trump #DrainingTheSwamp. They are thrilled that non-USA-citizen Obama is gone so that they don't have to let boys go to the girls' bathroom anymore (no boy ever requested that here).

They share Pumpkin spice recipes and buy all that Plexus shit, all the while complaining about their fibro.

And they ALL despise Hillary. Total contempt. They believe she killed people and runs the ped o ring.

Teachers cradle their mugs and they voted for Trump.

R174 with.my mug cradling FB friends, they all can't stand Trump

The newest outrage is them posting shit about children of illegals being kept from their MOTHERS, they don't even mention father's

The mug cradlers. Are OUTRAGED!

So, we've established that there's mug cradlers who support Trump and mug cradlers who supported Hillary. Give it a rest.

As the great Maya Angelou once said...

T.G.I.F!

R170 I’ve heard “X is my jam” for years now. You can just hear Gwyneth P saying “Lemonade by Beyoncé is my jam!”

No r168 most white women voted for Trump.

Tall, 1/2 caff, soy latte at120 degrees. Is the lemon loaf non-fat?

'I'm really feeling these [insert garment or footwear]. They feel so right for now. '

“This (insert garment, shoes or bag) is EVERYTHING!”

"Something about motherhood has allowed me to find and prioritize my chill, and going onto set with seven astonishing women really made me want to not leave that chill."

I like to turn the AC down to 59, then turn on the fireplace. It's just a little special treat I give to myself.

Funny reading r177 and r178 back to back!

May have missed it, but

"I will (fill in the blank) ALL THE THINGS!"

Also, something about needing more women as CEOs, because CEOs really will fix society.

Lol. R187

"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."

No, wait, that's 'Things Lesbians Say.'

I'm can't hear you, r187, as I'm too busy leaning in!

Ugh R184

R180 yes most OLDER, 50 plus white women voted for Trump, but YOUNGER white women voted overwhelming for Hillary

And the mug cradling, young mom type of white woman voted overwhelming for Hillary

I've actually heard most of these, or some variation. But, I wonder about the split between real-life and television.

Are there peanuts in that?

"Brayden ......"

If you can't dance in the rain with me, you will never be with me in the storm. And if you aren't in the storm with me, I don't need you in the sunshine, either.

"There's a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather..."

My gays are blessed and forgiven.

Doing kegels has increased the strength and vitality of my yoni.

.......

Planks! Planks!

So what are the key points of difference between m-cs and fraus?

A MC is will turn into a Frau eventually. They both walk the same fetid path.

“Keep your chin up princess, or your crown will slip!”

"m-cs". Lol. I love that there's already a shorthand reference.

My migraine alert dog validates the existence of my migraines. Dogs don't detect what isn't there, I'm so grateful my little Chancy is helping to bury the stigma of chronic migraines!

You MUST go with me to goat yoga.

My son is on the spectrum!!!!

Chronic Lyme Disease is real, I will no longer suffer in silence.

“Friyay!”

“Sunday funday”

Let’s see the numbers r192

@R189 - A female wore that slogan t-shirt to the office. My thought, "Oh, yeah. She's a 'Katie'."

So a M-C is younger, thinner, more confident, more strident than a frau? I can't see fraus doing yoga poses on Machu Pichu. Do M-Cs eventually morph into fraus?

R170 black women and men said it for decades, now mug-cradlers say it a lot, or write it as comments under songs on youtube.

To most people I look like most people, but inside I suffer from chronic pain

No, Trump WON WHITE WOMEN 53% to 47%. Period!

This age thing matters not.

Trump could NEVER have WON without WHITE WOMEN VOTERS!!

These are fucking hilarious and I swear I've heard nearly every single one of these in person or on Facebook at some point.

R216 yes but YOUNGER mug cradling white women with elementary school age children named Jayden voted for Clinton

Older elder frau white women with kids with names like Mike and John overwhelming voted for Trump

Mug Cradlers are all, without exception, shrill, partisan, "Hillary can do no wrong" "most qualified person eva!!" types, end of.

R219 yes I've noticed that

They're also fake feminists,,posting women are better than men shit all the time

Ikigai, it changed my life!

Cradling this yummy cup of soup is my hygee!

I don't know what was worse, this morning's migraine or child birth.

Mug-cradlers / fraus love an exclamation mark or two!!

R95, see R121.

Oprah for President!!!

R218, where are the numbers on that?

Mug cradlers want Clinton because they think she would forgive them for bringing low-fat cookies

I wasn't sure of this, but it seems that they would be some of the likeliest ones to claim they are actually "Cherokee Princesses". I had heard or read somewhere that the Cherokee tribal government felt compelled to issue a statement, since claims among certain white (or perhaps even black) females became so rife, that there never was nor is there ever any such thing as a "Cherokee Princess".

R229, I have met a lot of white, and even black women who claim that they are Cherokee or (inset other native tribe here), but then when they take a DNA test they find out that this is not true. There are apparently some bi-racial or part black people who are technically Cherokee, but the Cherokee tribe members do not recognize them as being actually Cherokee or part of the tribe since they are descendants of slaves that some Cherokee owned.

"This is my service dog! She goes with me everywhere!"

Fraus are split, just like everywhere else. Over half favor Trump based on poll results, the rest liked Clinton. Of course, it is possible more favored Clinton but didn't show up to the polls because their fibro was acting up that day or Braydon wanted a ride to his 87th after school activity.

R232, or it's because Hillary sucked as a candidate and stole the nomination from Bernie. But Bernie was a little bitch and did not really care about this and sold out yet again.

For the millionth time, you deranged bernbot, Hillary did not “steal the nom” from Bernie. She got FOUR MILLION votes more than Bernie. How did she manage to “steal” four million voters?

That’s a very big canvas sack with a dollar sign on it.

Are you both fucking robots?

The same tired Hillary/Burnie bullshit in a MUG-CRADLING safe space, you fucking idiots!

I pray that everyone can get along, or barring that, use guns to find a workable solution.

DH gave me a course of yoga classes for my birthday, and I appreciate it, I really do, but what I'd really love is to learn to suck cock like a pro.

I am on a diet that's completely organic, non-GMO, gluten free, paleo-keto!

This is literally a mug-cradler's blog.

Another thing mug-cradlers say is, "I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the pioneer woman and her recipes! She's a KETO GODDESS!!!"

"Check out my Instagram page! Buy my homemade art on Etsy! Go to my Pinterest page!"

"Obsessed!"

"It's been real!" "What a great day at (insert name of expensive day spa here) with my girls!"

#metoo

#blessed

From a mug-cradler blog:

We were sitting on a gym floor watching our youngest daughters during their gymnastics class. Running around the gym, our other kids stayed happily busy. I was multi-tasking. Watching one flip with her class, keep my ears attentive to others playing basketball and diy-ing some business cards for Hope Spoken. As we sat there just catching up, my dear friend told me about how someone challenged her to drink her coffee with two hands.

Two hands.

The idea was simple – when we drink coffee (or tea or Dandy Blend or whatever you choose) with two hands we are usually moving slow and soaking it in a bit more. Usually we are really enjoying that cup of coffee, that moment. When I think about two handed coffee drinking, I think of camping trips, Craft Weekends, Saturday mornings…basically, I think of slow. Most days I pour a cup of coffee and drink it with one hand. The other hand is busy doing a host of other things. Sometimes the cup sits on the counter and is never finished.

Drink my coffee with two hands. So simple, but shockingly hard on many days.

I’ve been thinking about it constantly. I’ve been drinking my coffee with two hands this week and let me tell you – there is so much wisdom in that simple challenge. When my hands aren’t busy doing other things, my mind is more attentive to what is happening around me. Two handed coffee drinking – I think it needs to become all the rage in this house.

"My child is taking ALL AP classes in highschool!"

R245 There is something so pleasing and meta about that. She thinks she stumbled onto this new level of being, when mugcradling is just a funny basic bitch activity that has been ridiculed on here for some time now.

r247 you have no idea just how hard it is! It's not just hard, it's shockingly hard!

[quote]Tall, 1/2 caff, soy latte at120 degrees.

And two half pumps of sugar-free vanilla.

Sorry, frau at R237, but only guys know what other guys REALLY like / want.

Read my lips, Miss Cashier-as-a-Career-Choice: I literally don't give a freaking poop what your return policy says. I WILL return these used Spanx today and you WILL give me a cash refund!

Smile for the camera, chica, because you're about to be famous on Facebook Live!

R129 Exactly! What the fuck is that about? (Sorry I can't quote - phone is stuck).

And when an actually beautifully aquaintance posts a picture, the mug cradling fraus say something like "When I think of you hon, I think more of your striking intelligence not beauty". And the fat, stringy haired, butt ugly fraus' selfies always get:

OMG. You goddess!

So gorg. Do you ever age?

Your hubs is so lucky! Rock on stunning sister.

*actually beautiful. I And r251 do tell: where the hell did you find that perfect mug-cradly image? Gives me the creeps it is so accurate.

[quote] and really dislike Bernie and those of us who support him,

And so say we all. Bernie is a Putin and NRA apologist with no platform and a regressive voting history on guns, immigrants, war policies, toxic waste and Russia sanctions,

"I'm just trying to be part of the solution!"

Not that I am a Trumpster or anything but I have to spill. Melania's Zara message jacket is totes adorbs! And so freaking affords! Loving it!

Jennifer Anniston is so gorgeous. She is my fantasy life coach and dream bff. Brad must be eating his heart out over that loss.

Keanu Reeves is sooo not gay. He reminds me of my hubs.

So who is more annoying - fraus or m-cs? I'm going with m-cs; they seem to be incredibly smug and over-confident.

I'm not ready to process this!

R258, definitely mug-cradlers.

I still don't understand how m-cs are different from fraus - it's a subset of fraudom?

R261, Mug Cradlers are very young and stupid women you see who put their entire lives on social media. They may be married or single and have kids.

"Gotta have my Starbucks and Keurig daily!"

I hadn't thought much about this until now but I can see how it gets confusing when couchfraun also love to post — it's a given that both groups live for social-media likes — photos of themselves "curled up with a good book...YASSSSSSS, b*itchez!!" and cradling a mug while DH is at soccer practice with Jaxxyn and Madyxx. #SoBlessed!

Using the 4th of July as an example, the frauen Facebook aesthetic will involve an overload of matching Old Navy t-shirts for the whole family; a Cool Whip-frosted flag cake with strawberries and blueberries as the stars and stripes; homemade red, white and blue bows in her kids' hair; morbidy obese DH in a flag apron grilling gigantic steaks; red, white and blue rubber ducks floating in an above-ground pool; a post about sacrifice and freedom; red drinks with blue-sugared rims on the flag glasses; a close-up of someone's blistery sunburn, and a poorly done manicure that attempts to fit a whole flag on each nail.

By contrast, the Mug Cradler will only post one picture of her kids (if she has them) making heart hands with fireworks in the center and one bokeh-heavy shot of her hands holding a sprinkler. Then it's right back to photos of her successful warm-weather makeover of the hyggekrog; Blue Majik smoothie bowls atop marble backdrop paper she bought on Etsy; succulents and air plants; POV shots of her feet as seen in downward dog; she (in a white sundress, barefoot, with white flowers in her braided hair) and DH (tight linen suit, barefoot, trousers rolled up, one tiny white flower in his beard) at someone's beach wedding, posed like Dark Matter, captioned "I must admit, we clean up pretty nicely!"

Wrong picture

Mug-Cradlers document everything they do and put it on Instagram and basically live on there.

I am a woman, I can use my body to get what I want, and sex work is a great way to get lots of fast tax free cash!

R264 When her hands arent being warmed by a mug she needs to wear sweaters with sleeves that go halfway down her fingers so her knuckles dont get a chill. Such bliss, so whimsical and twee.

Genius, R264

“Beautiful HUMANS. Love connecting with so many of the mammas in my community.” @neutragena

The special K commercial that is about women eating and pretending to be feminists, is marketed towards mug cradlers.

You know you're a woman and fake feminist or misandrist, when you consider a mundane thing for men such as eating, to be amazing and life changing!

An extraordinary day at our first #pridenyc parade as marchers! We loved marching with the remarkable crew from @momsdemand + their beautiful families, because every child is deserving of love, and every child is deserving of safety. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 The crowd was enthusiastic and wonderful, and my kids could not make me more proud than they did today, demonstrating kindness and compassion in every way. Including taking care of me when I almost passed out from the 90° heat. (I’m fine now!) I imagine I will be cleaning a lot of rainbow sparkles off of pillow cases tomorrow but it’s small price to pay. ✨🌈 💗✌🏼

I really like this thread.

DH and I LOVE hygge, and are raising our children in a gender fluid environment, and Patriarchy free home! Raising my rainbow and Jazz Jennings inspired us to do this!

Mug-cradler — Step #62 in our birth plan is setting our intention and then simultaneously looking into our baby's wise eyes. (Wow. Just writing this is literally making me feel All. The. Things, because LOVE!) Then, we'll know. For now, the frontrunners are Gus, Cortado, Minnow, Wren, Dex, Willow, Edie, Oak, Billie, Django, Hazel, Bruno, Crocus, Vernie, Fitz, Arrow, or Duke.

Frau — A bebe is the most precious gift the Lord bestows. As such, I don't want My Child™ to share a name with anyone else in kindergarten. It's going to be something really special like Madisyn, Khai, Jaxon, Preslee, Kolt, Caydyn, Dodge, Khairee-Jayde, Dhylan, Y'vanka, M'ylania, Aspyn, Teavana, Braelington, Daxxyn, or Khlay. Bebes! Yay!

“Hanging out with these queens today”

In their heads, mug cradlers are constantly saying, "I hope my child thinks I'm cool". To the rest of the non-mug cradling world, they just seem so desperate, and they're using their kids for validation of their own coolness. The mom at R272 seems insufferable.

I cannot wait for Wednesday Ladies Night. When me and My Tribe connect over cocktails and laughter, we're unstoppable! Watch out Tempe!

My girls and me had the most brill idea. Since we frequent Yoga Tree in the Castro, sporting our matching yoga pants, let's go on a gay pub crawl! It'll be a hoot! We can even scout for the primo locale for Brittany's bachelorette party!

I saw a mug cradler, literally cradling a mug, in a commercial for bipolar medication.

Kudos, R275.

I mean, rocking our matching yoga pants

"How many times do I have to tell you?!?! The refrigerator is for Mommy's Instagram! Go eat some Cheez-Its!"

[quote][R232], or it's because Hillary sucked as a candidate and stole the nomination from Bernie. But Bernie was a little bitch and did not really care about this and sold out yet again.

"stole the nomination from Bernie"......yeah, by getting 4 million PLUS more votes! Side-splitting!

I hope you were speaking as a mug-cradler!

KICKING BUTT AND TAKING NAMES!

The Fearless Girl statue makes me well up in tears, and the best day of my life was when we went to see her and I took photographs of each of my two pre-teen daughters standing next to her, posing just like her! It was so powerful, and warmed and inspired this Mama's heart. I realized then that my daughters are my fearless girls, and they truly are my heroes!

I miss Oprah's book club. Our little book club really enjoyed her recommendations. We all still feel a little afloat being on our own!

I'm crying as I read R286. I wish I had daughters to share moments like that with. I have three young sons and I notice that I don't feel as inspired to journal about them as often as my friends with daughters. It's also impossible to get them to go to marches with me, so my Instagram is kind of boring. Say hello to your fearless girls for me. I'll bet they're amazing!

If only there was punctuation more powerful than an exclamation mark!!!!!

MOMMA BEAR!

Can I get a word in edge-wise?

Are you gonna finish that? [html removed]

When I Am An Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple

Kiddos. Mani-pedi. Cardi. T. They can all just fuck the HELL off!

When we got back from the pride parade I asked my little girl what her favorite color is, and she said, "rainbow!" I just beamed.

Ya know, sexyboi Ari always says "don't start none; won't be none," but I literally can not hold my tongue when a Child is being exploited. Yes, I'm looking at you, r295.

I am a highly intuitive empath and I literally don't believe for one second that you took your Child to Pride. I think you just made up that rainbow tale to score points on a gay site. Ummm, helloooo!! What are you even doing posting here!?!?!

(And don't even THINK about sassing me, Gays! I belong here. All the ladies in my Janet Evanovich book club call me a gay man trapped in a lush, curvy, sexy bod. In fact, the naughtiest ones even call me the F-word that rhymes with rag! LOLOLOLOL! I've literally never understood why you boys take offense. I don't mind being called that AT ALL! I think it's sooo fleek, as my M'Kaiyluh says. Luv it!)

~~Earth to Jennee's brain! Earth to Jennee's brain! Get back on topic, Ms. LadyThang! LOL!!!~~

Anyway, R295 is literally everything I hate in a mom and I think we should all shun her.

Oh, BTW, I just got back from Target and I literally WEPT in the aisle when I saw the Smirnoff #LoveWins bottles. OMG, the feelz!!!!!

That was inspired, R264, and absolutely spot on.

The fearless girl statue is taking down the Patriarchy and Capitalism!!! Fuck yeah!

We traveled all the way from California just to see the statue and take pictures with it! #goals

Shirts that have the word FLAWLESS embossed on them, no matter how far and hideous they are

"I just honestly want to empower other women, and that's why I started my blog/business/ministry/whatever!"

"I'm giving myself permission to ____ because _____."

Stay woke!

It really does take a village to raise my very spirited *insert pretentious name here*, and I'm no longer ashamed to admit that. We mommies put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect that we're afraid to ask for help. I've learned that it's okay to ask for help, and a nice little surprise came along with asking... I realize that I love myself even more, now that I'm willing to be vulnerable.

Can I get you another cup of coffee? There are a few more things I'd like to tell you about myself and my beautiful, spirited child.

Is there a male equivalent? I had a female friend on FB who is a mc extraordinaire; in fact she is a well-known New Age author and lecturer. Her bliss ninny posts were bad enough, but what really made my hair stand on end were the comments of her male friends and followers. No idea if they were gay or straight, but my god, were they pathetic with their corny, cringy posts! I finally had to delete her because I couldn't stand any more. Maleness is wasted on these guys. These idiots need to MAN UP, pronto! (Rant over.)

People talk about changing the world, but I actually do it. I handed out books of poetry by Maya Angelou on the NYC subway.

Oops! I meant to write "adrift", not "afloat".

"You actually had your kid eat a peanutbutter sandwich during her playdate with Jayden?! What were you thinking? Bitch I will wreck you on social media! NOBODY will let their kids have a playdate with your kiddo!"

To get away from all the chaos of our busy world, I took some time today and went inside a library! And I loved every minute of it. No CNN, no Faux News, no Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (just for an hour or so), and no loud voices arguing with one another, unable to see past politics and actually see into each other's humanness. It was wonderful just sitting there in the stillness, surrounded by written voices from the past urging me to read their poetry, their stories, their humanity, and to break away from only thinking about my own stories today. Thank you Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Mr. Hemingway, Bill Shakespeare... I didn't look for your books, I didn't have to because just knowing they were there in the same room where I was now sitting was enough to encourage me to just appreciate the stillness, and the words and stories from another time, your time. So thank you, library, for letting me spend some time in you today. I think it may have changed my soul... just a little.

Jesus R308. That was vile.

"What do you mean you're not on Twitter or Instagram?!"

I HATE drama! I would never call anyone out on Facebook, but if you recognize yourself in what I’m about to write, then maybe you should ask yourself why that is...

Spot on

You're such a basic bitch!

"mmm, this coffee is JUICY"

"NEW DRAKE! YASSS, BABY! COME TO MAMA! COME TO MAMA! WHOOOOHOOOOOO!!!"

....as the Yukon XL swerves from lane to lane and Skarlytt-Rose shrieks that she's embarrassing her in front of her friends.

I love my barista. She always smiles while giving this happily-addicted mama my coffee fix every morning.

You guys, I’m reading the most amazeballs book right now. Demanding but so totally worth it.

"I'm so sorry ...." said ALL THE TIME. Especially when they don't even mean it.

'Bless This Mess' --needlepointed (or not) and hung in the kitchen. BARF.

Totes Adorbs. OH-FOR-FUCKS-SAKES!

This is sexist

Please forgive me for what I'm about to say, r319, but don’t you think “bless this mess” is more frau than mug cradler? MCs don’t have messes. They have divine untidinesses.

R322 — I was about to post exactly the same response.

Many of you get lumped together with women rather than with the other men, right?

Need to sharpen your dagger a bit r324

This profile in mug cradling brought to you by ig stories ....

[quote]R48 The best part of aging is that I’m comfortable in my own skin.

We're all more comfortable in our own skin . . . as it becomes looser.

Yes, 'Bless This Mess' is more trailer trash frau stuff than mug cradler crap, now that I think about it. Forgive me. 'Leave it to the Universe' is mug cradlier.

My immediate manager is the "Mug Cradling Queen" when it comes to manipulation.

Said Queen will arrive at my desk to 'invite' me into her office (her private sanctuary), where she dramatically opens her office door upon our arrival. She'll then alight herself on her throne, inviting me to take a seat (at her feet); then she'll warmly inquire, "How are you TODAY; is everything all right?"

I know that Instagram sometimes gives you, my dear followers, a distorted image of my life but I promise you, it’s not as perfect as it seems!

I’m going to start posting pictures — straight out of my 4-year-old phone; no filters, no photoshop, no lighting, no nothing — of what my life [italic]really[/italic] looks like, warts and all.

It’s going to be uncomfortable at times, like right now. It was so crazy around here this morning that I literally only had time to slop together a couple of 30-second smoothie bowls. 30 seconds! Here they are.

Am I embarrassed? Yes and no. I realize you have an idealized image of me and I hate to let you down, but this is my life. My real life. And sometimes it just looks like some blue shit thrown haphazardly into an old cereal bowl; messy, imperfect, unplanned, real. Just like me.

I admire your bravery, R330, I really do. I've been desiring to be more real on my Instagram, but something holds me back. I'll discover what that something is, hopefully soon, but maybe not so soon. I thought I was authentic already until some of the layers of my life began peeling away, exposing an inner realness I never knew I had. It's that inner realness I'm desiring to expose publicly on my Instagram, but, again, not quite yet. The universe will let me know when it's time. So, for now, I thank you and others who have already reached that place and are willing to expose a part of your real life to those of us who yearn to get there. Your photograph touched me in a way that I sense has hastened my discovery of what is holding me back from exposing my inner realness publicly.

It, indeed, takes a village.

Apparently DL is the only place in the universe where the term 'mug cradler' is used to describe this type of woman. It is not in the Urban Dictionary. Is there another term?

"And you're all going to pay for my Disney cruise??"

"Eat, Pray, Love is my favorite book and movie! I can't wait to book a trip to India and meet her guru Chidvilasananda! Namaste!"

[quote]Apparently DL is the only place in the universe where the term 'mug cradler' is used to describe this type of woman. It is not in the Urban Dictionary. Is there another term?

DL is also the only place in the universe where we know what PMBT is. And your point is?

I have PTSD

I had to have brunch with a Frau yesterday. Her husband didn't say one word in four plus hours and when the waitress took our orders, surprise surprise, both her kids were celiac and she was, of course celiac and soy. I wanted to blurt out "no amount of allergies will ever make you interesting, you drippy FRAU!"

I didn't though I wanted to.

FRAUS VOTE TRUMP 100% - don't believe the revisionist insanity!!!

Grab your mug, and commence cradling:

“’Painted Sky’ (Don't Give Up On Us) is an invitation to be courageous, real, and to end the suffering of denial. It’s time to come out from beneath our confining constructs of unnatural thinking about who we are and who belongs. We have the ability to rewrite our narrative as Americans to one that welcomes and embraces the fullness of our individual and collective humanity. The dream of equity and fairness for all is not enough as just a dream. We must welcome it and live it as we open our minds and hearts. Our greatest strength is when we reveal our ability to see ourselves reflected in one another.” -- Lizz Wright

Amen, R341. Amen.

A friend of mine gave me this, and I at first wondered if she had mistakenly put the wrong name tag on the wrapped gift. Surely she hadn't bought this for me. When I shyly asked her, she looked me in the eyes and said that she not only meant the gift for me, she didn't just buy it... she had it made for me. Every morning I am strengthened as I drink my morning cup of decaf, because I finally believe that, yes, the words printed on this mug were ordered especially for me. Someone else knew the truth about me before I did. Sometimes the truth has to come from without before you can ever believe it from within.

It's my favorite cradling mug.

Is it too early to start watching Hallmark Christmas movies? I feel like as it's the second half of the year it's now acceptable.

These blog excepts are making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Are these people really that smug, full of themselves and self-deluding? Doesn't reality ever bite them in the ass?

Okay, so I've entered a definition of 'mug cradler' on Urban Dictionary under 'HunterReal'. Up vote please.

"We're sisters of the heart and cradle each other's mugs!"

Cradling mugs since 2013:

Wow, R347. The rare double-cradle. I’ve only seen one before.

"So as I was saying yesterday at Pilates class, I just don't understand why people of all races colors and creeds can't live together in harmony...BARBARA? BARBARA! I - I just saw a man walking on the Van Luydens' lawn! He actually stepped on it! A - a colored man! What color? Brown of course! No! More a latte! Darker than cappuccino! No! There's no way he's just someone with a tan!! No it's not their pool boy! What could he be doing here? We don't even have sidewalks, the gated community board voted against them to keep skateboarders out! OH MY GOD, BARBARA! HE JUST LOOKED AT OUR HOUSE!! Well, more at the extension we put on last January so Ted could have a man cave, but still! Do - do you think he's scoping it out to burgle it later? OH MY GOD WHAT IF HE'S PLANNING ON RAPING ME? I was out earlier today doing yoga in the side yard wearing that little lavender top that got 365 likes on Twitter! He could totally have been spying on me the whole time! BARBARA I'M CALLING THE COPS! OH MY GOD...OH MY GOD...Hello, Greenwich Police Department? THERE IS A BLACK RAPIST ON MY LAWN!!! How do you get here? What, don't you still have those big white cars with the lights on top?"

This 4th of July morning I was drinking my coffee, reflecting on the day ahead, and I thought about what we're all celebrating (or not celebrating, depending on your politics), and I remembered that it's also Independence Day! What an interesting holiday. I poured myself a second cup and got out my journal and wrote down what I was deciding to be independent of today. I now declare my independence from the judgement of others, from perfectionism, from comparing myself to my gorgeous neighbor (compare and despair, right?), and independence from expectations of any kind... from myself or from other people. And I declare my independence from this cocoon of indecision I've voluntarily remained wrapped inside of for far too long. Pardon my giddiness but this butterfly is now free to fly free, independent of all things that once bound me. As I watch the fireworks tonight with my husband and children, I'll smile at their excitement as they celebrate the 4th of July, but I think I'll keep to myself the holiday I'm celebrating. And I'll smile about that, too.

You know, these blog posts are truly vomit-inducing, but in the spirit of generosity, I have decided they are not actually toxic and if it helps these pathetic women deal with the uncertainty and decay of our current world, they are welcome to do it. Just not around me.

I posted this as an actual question, rather than to make fun of a mug-cradler. Can I?

Dear r353/r344: in true Mug-Cradling spirit, it’s a resounding YES from me! You DO You!

Thanks R354!

This is just slut shaming!

[quote]You know, these blog posts are truly vomit-inducing, but in the spirit of generosity, I have decided they are not actually toxic and if it helps these pathetic women deal with the uncertainty and decay of our current world, they are welcome to do it. Just not around me.

I've posted in this thread a few times and I'm just writing in imitation of mug cradlers. I don't think there are very many actual blog posts being quoted.

Kudos, R357! I tip my hat, Sir!

Do you have a link R346? I searched for your author name on the site and nothing came up. I guess they did not add it to the site?

R351 is a legit mommy blogger who stumbled upon Datalounge. If that's not the case R351, then hats off.

I’m not legit, but I’m still totes disgusted by the bad mom at r295 and, speaking my truth, I’m a little disappointed by the lack of support I’ve received from My Gays at DL.

Silly me actually thought you’d rally behind me in my quest to run r295 off, but you don’t seem to care that a woman’s body with an actual freaking woman trapped inside is posting here....and a bad mom, to boot. After all I’ve done for you, I guess I expected better.

That’s fine.

Just remember, I cried big salty tears for you in the middle of Target, because that was my truth and a painfully real expression of what was in my heart — pure unconditional love for My Gays.

Now I’ll have to figure out a way to get over you.

Goodbye.

I'd bet my bottom dollar this Instagrammer was cradling a mug after writing and posting this, basking in the knowledge of how deep, caring and, yes, woke her readers will find her to be.

"By far my favorite part of Paris is the people. The families, partners, spouses, singles walking while listening to music, the inevitable American trio of women taking up the whole sidewalk. Even them. Everyone. Fathers and daughters. Mothers and sisters. People let people be people in all forms and shapes and textures, all crowding up almost every corner and space of this city. Because life is too short and we’re all in Paris."

::vomit::

The woke mug-cradler at R362 has to go all the way to Paris to watch people walk while listening to music?

Also, "textures". Ew.

Fur baby.

Awww, sweetie-pie doggo!!!

Feeling. All. The. Warm. And. Fuzzy. Feelz.

Motivational motto seen on every Mug Craddler Frau blog page in the world when feeling ~empowered and ~dealing with her shit: Fate whispers to the warrior, 'You can not withstand the storm.' The warrior whispers back, 'I am the storm'

All she's got to do is get dressed and drop the kids at school, its not the Normandy landings.

Shout out to my fierce allergy-moms handlin’ shit on the daily.

"I bless with love each and every bill that comes into my home. I bless with love and stamp a small kiss on each and every check I write. If you pay with resentment, money has a hard time coming back to you. If you pay with love and joy, you open the free-flowing channel of abundance. Treat your money as a friend, not as something you wad up and crush into your pocket."

Wow, R369, that was beautiful.

I've just realized that I always viewed my bills with resentment, and I pay them with a frown on my face. I never considered changing my attitude about bills and my lack of money, but reading your wise words encouraged me to do just that! I especially look forward to stamping a small kiss on every check I write. I assume that will physically reinforce the internal, spiritual changes I've now decided to make. And I look forward to opening up a free-flowing channel of abundance! I mean, who would like that? I've been so blind. Thank you for helping me to see. I realize you're quoting someone else, but the words have now come from you to me, and I appreciate you paying it forward. I lift my coffee mug up to you, and say thank you.

My first attempt to get mug-cradler on Urban Dictionary hasn't taken off! I'm trying again, in case any of you go onto the site and vote.

The definition:

A young woman who shares their inane and or generic insights on social media. Often can be seen posting an image of themselves (or others) cradling a mug.

R362, haha of course she has a mixed race kid and fucks blacks, Berbers, and Arabs.

R362, this is a picture of her daughter and the other daughter is a nutty Trans activist.

A future mug-cradler.

The Charity:Water mother who made her kids use a closet as a bedroom was the ur M-C.

"DH and I had a Mason Jar wedding, and put wedding favors into Mason Jars for ALL of our guests and even had candles in Mason Jars at the tables for guests! I got the idea from my friend's Pinterest page!"

"I can't give up my seat because I have fibromyalgia, it's an invisible disease."

“I cannot come to work today because I may be having a Lupus flare up.”

"He's a service dog". They also love "animal friends"

That sounds so lovely, R376. Simple yet elegant, and very thoughtful toward your guests. I'll bet you've inspired others, the way your friend's Pinterest inspired you. That's how it works -- getting and then giving -- and I love it!

There's a lot of love in this thread. Pardon my sappiness but, it's beautiful.

"Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real." ~Deepak Chopra

Isn't that beautiful? And I love this fellow's first name. It's appropriate because he's quite deep, don't you think?

"What do you mean I can't take my dog into Whole Foods?! He's a service dog and goes everywhere with me?!"

I haven't been able to sleep since I saw those children separated from the adults at the border! My daughter and I get angry together every night, and we send our positive energy down there to help. Did I mention how awesome my daughter is? I learn so much from her every day about how to care for others, even strangers. She's six years old.

Oh yeah, and you should see her cradle her cup of cocoa when we're sitting and talking (raging, actually) about Trump.

My daughter helped me knit these pussy hats for our local march against Trump. The six-year-old.

Yes, our children have much to teach us. My triplets, Skyler, Sailor and Mason, are empaths and I marvel at their compassion. They are very confused about the Trump presidency and I field difficult questions from one or more of them nearly every day. I tweet some of their questions and the Twitterverse sometimes helps me with answers, but most of my Twitter followers are just as lost as I am and they just sympathize (and remark at how inspired they are by my child's question). I mean, how do you explain what a pu**y is to a 4-year-old? Let alone grabbing one. And, my blessings are all girls, so here we are. (Of course my husband doesn't understand any of this. He just says that he's glad his paycheck is bigger now due to the tax cuts. I marvel at him, too, but for different reasons.)

Anyway, as Sailor said yesterday, "Just breathe, Mommy". So, I think I'll pour another cup of coffee and... breathe.

I wish this thread would never end.

Oh, it never will! Our children - at least, my children - are being raised to carry on the great tradition of thinking deep thoughts and then writing them down on a large piece of paper in different-colored crayons.

I labeled the black crayon "Oprah" to make sure that they are sensitive about poor people.

You KNOW, it takes a bit more time for a WOMAN to get ready in the morning.

I hereby designate this song to be the Mug-Cradler's Anthem:

"Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today I can see so much of me still living in your eyes Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things That a woman ain't s'posed to see I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about People and places as we'd like them to be. But you know what truth is? It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with This morning, the same one you're going to make love with tonight. That's truth, that's love Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children That might have made me complete But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

I've been to paradise, never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run) I've been to paradise, never been to me (I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht) I've been to paradise, never been to me (I've been to cryin' for unborn children)"

OMG, Jess! I'm at HomeGoods and I've just found the mother lode of Rae Dunn! You will literally DIE when you see!!

Datalounge could write a book titled OUR FRAUS, OURSELVES.

Nate Silver has hosted a discussion about the Yoga Vote, which might be interesting to people who talked upthread about how mug cradlers voted.

"Trump is just the WORST! RESIST! If Trump wins again in 2020 I will just die I tell you, DIE!!!"

"BuzzFeed and UPworthy are the BEST places to get news! I just love Rachel Maddow too! Oprah for PRESIDENT!"

She is the strongest and most inspirational woman I know. The world still has so much to learn from her.

I just had my unicorn Moon Juice smoothie with blue algae and I’m ready to take on the world!

Where’s Trish? I wanna go out for açaí bowls!

I'm going to unplug over the weekend for self care. Hubby is insisting that I live for myself for a couple of days, so.... I've got my favorite inspirational books, a couple bottles of wine, lots of coffee and my favorite cradling mug just waiting for my company this weekend. I'll be back on Facebook, Instagram, etc., early next week with photos and writings about what this sabbatical was like, moment by moment. See you then, ladies!

Have you prepared your reading socks, R401?

The quintessential mug cradling personality, a Utah "mommy" visiting London (and referencing having once lived there):

"22 years ago when I was last here, so was Diana. This is by far the most heart-wrenching part of discovering my memories of this place as I wander the streets. Because I lived across the street from Kensington Palace and would routinely see and hear the red helicopter bringing her home. There is a line in that James Blake cover about Vincent Van Gogh that goes: “This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.” That lyric could not possibly be more true than if it had been written about her. My mother is the maternal figure I have always tried to emulate, but since my time in London in 1996 I have always wanted to be the kind of mother whose children looked at her the way those boys gazed at their mum."

Same Utah mommy mug-cradler, visiting France a few days earlier:

In keeping with the full circle theme of this trip I spent my 43rd birthday in the village where Vincent Van Gogh spent the last 70 days of his life and painted over 81 canvasses. He committed suicide here at the age of 37 and is buried not far from where he rented a room for a few bucks a day. Earlier this year I wrote about James Blake’s cover of Don McLean’s tribute to Vincent with this line in it: “Now I understand / What you tried to say to me / And how you suffered for your sanity / And how you tried to set them free / They would not listen, they did not know how / Perhaps they'll listen now” .

Give it a listen and while you’re at it check on the people you love. Hi, Mom. I love you eternity. ❤️💙🎂

Be Best!

The post at R403 has made me realize that verbalized "mug-cradling" is best described as navel-gazing, narcissistic word vomit.

I had forgotten all about the existence of Heather Armstrong. If I had remembered, I would have added her to the [italic]15 Minutes of Fame[/italic] thread as hers were spent as the subject of a very early debate on whether or not it's right to fire someone over what they write online, on their own time. It's nice to see she's as tiresome as ever.

And as my mother once cunted about a friend, "I've seen nutcrackers with more feminine jaws."

What IS annoying is when moms posts about how AMAZING their young tots are.

Unless they've built a time machine or something equally impressive, I wouldn't call a 5-year-old "amazing".

It's amusing to read Heather Armstrong (posted above) trying to wax poetic when she makes her living writing about her bathroom habits and those of her two daughters. She tries hard to be as crude as possible whenever possible. I guess Europe has an effect on her which makes her suddenly go "deep". Typical of the mug-cradling crowd.

Lovely, and so true

They're manic racist white women in their 50s who try to talk street, like "I'm moving back to my hood, it's in San Bernaghetto" or "I shopped at Targhetto this weekend." or "Could I please talk to a customer service rep who has English as their first language?"

If you don't mind, R410, I'm going to imagine that note was written just for me... at least for today. I really needed to hear those words. You're right, the words are so true. I won't compromise my crown any longer. And I will hold out for a man with bigger hands.

Thank you, R410. The universe had you post that, I believe. I'm crying right now. And... I'm also very happy.

Chilly. Silent. Deep breathing. Healing for body, soul, spirit. Green supports you the similar way like to be in nature. Every time when you feel stressed, unhealthy, not be loved or lonesome then use GREEN color. Especially when you do not have time to go to nature.
