@elysian fields If you're looking for staples on a budget, I would suggest some of the larger discount stores - Century 21, H&M, Zara... boring but dependable. Also, what about Brooklyn? Buffalo Exchange has some reasonably-priced and cute second hand stuff.

@Sea Ermine Oh no! It's never happened to me, but I hope you feel better! Can you go to the ER before Tuesday? I know it's a pain, but it might save you a lot of discomfort.

I am taking the MCAT in less than three weeks and I have never been more nervous for anything in my life! Well, maybe that's not true. But I am super nervous!

Oh! Also "Lived in Bars" by Cat Power - both emotionally gut-wrenching and surprisingly helpful in getting over a break up

Joan Baez via Dar Williams: "You know I think Christmas was a long red glare, shot up like a warning. We gave presents without cards, and then the snow, and then the snow came. We were always out shoveling. Then we'd fall to sleep exhausted, and we'd wake up, and its snowing."

@Woman Laughing Alone With Boas I'm not even going through a breakup and I can't listen to "These Days" without crying...

On Never-Complainers, Workaholics, and the Balding-and-Manly
@Third Wave Housewife Yes! My partner is similar - non-confrontational, doesn't complain much, doesn't like fights - and we just went through pre-marital counseling and it was AWESOME. It just gave us the opportunity to talk about stuff that we've both thought about before but never really put words to, like our conflict style, where we see ourselves, etc. LW1 - I highly recommend it!
