For a sec I read your sig someecard thing as referencing Patron (the tequila), not the word patron, and I was confused. I get it now, but it took me at least a minute. I wondered if I was missing out on a special tequila.
So this just happened.. I took my best friend out for a birthday dinner (her birthday was a few days ago). We had dinner, a couple drinks, decided to come back to my house. She'd mentioned that her period was a couple days late. (She's tentatively dating/sleeping with her ex fiance - bad, fucked up situation - and definitely TTA.) I told her I had a bag of dollar store cheapie HPTs under my sink, why not set her mind at ease? I sat with her and watched the test. 2 lines, right away. She was stunned and flustered and left right away, saying she had to be alone. I ugly cried into H's shirt for 10 minutes. Now I'm drinking vodka. I feel like I'm dreaming. I know unwanted pregnancy is a terrible thing and I know I'm fucking selfish and horrible for feeling anything other than concern for her predicament right now, and I told her I love her and will support her 100% no matter what she chooses, but fuck. To see that second, unwanted line on the very same tests I stared at and prayed over was - fuck. Sorry, I'm drunk-ish and AW-ing. TL;DR - BFF is pregnant and doesn't want to be; I'm in shock and drinking?

mazzola23 my husband just informed me that when Cobain committed suicide my MIL basically put DH on suicide watch because he was a huge Nirvana fan. He said she even sat him down and asked him if he was thinking about hurting himself. *MIL is crazy, obvs*
Haha...oh MIL! I got in trouble that weekend for hiding gum in my room (long story, I lived with CRAZY father and stepmother) and as my father was handing down my punishment he told me he didn't want me to turn out like that Kurt Cobain guy who just killed himself. Mind you- the jerk found gum in my room, not drugs.

You mean gum's NOT a gateway to harder drugs?
Watch out for those bubbles, they can lead you down a dark path.

Fuuuuccckkk for sure, cabgirl. Sorry for the situation as a whole, but especially for how it all played out. That's shitty on so many levels, but I'm sure your friend appreciates the support in whatever form you are able to provide her.
Also: hi! MH and I went out to dinner and found a brewery to hunker down in and drink. Got a call and found my dad is coming in town a day earlier than expected, but is lost on the way, so we rushed home but now we are just waiting for him and playing Super Mario bros like champs.
I wish we still had Paper Boy, though.
EDIT: I hate mobile and wish I had my laptop. Words.

Re: Kurt Cobain doc. We watched it a few weeks ago. Watching them as parents made me angry. It was good, but I'm pretty indifferent to it all. MH was a big fan. STORY: A few years ago, he told me that he forced his friends to call him "Kurt" as a teenager and randomly signed papers with the name. People were quite confused, as his name is nowhere close to "Kurt" I laughed so hard I cried when he told me that.

Hi W! How did your surprise visit go? Was he surprised/did you jump out of a bush?! (You probably covered this, but my life and GTKU have not been friends this week)

Love to you cabgirl. That is so tough. This isn't nearly as bad but tonight I also found out our good friends are pregnant. We hadn't seen them alone in awhile and wanted to tell them about our MC. In my effort to broach the conversation, I accidentally put them on the spot ro reveal that they'd just found out they were pregnant today. Talk about an awkward segue. We still ended up telling them about the loss but not steal their joy and I offered advice. At least I my limited experience being pregnant can be of use to someone!

Ugh, that IS incredibly awkward. And hard. What a difficult way to begin that conversation.
will try to figure it out as soon as I finish the nightmare that is restoring my phone...
I've been doing that crap all day! Took me half the day to figure out how to get the corporate exchange email mess uninstalled off my phone! Grr!
cabgirl {{hugs}} I would ugly cry too! So sorry you had to experience that.
I wish this was a result of that (For corporate we are required to use the Good app on personal devices, its on my iPad, but pushing back on giving up blackberry (a) I don't need every client/coworker having my personal and (b) separate devices prevent me from drunky emails . I have never started fresh with a new iPhone, I always restore and the last iOS update is causing the photos app to run something in the background that just drains my battery. So even with backup, this is 5 years of organization, settings and preferences down the drain. It also looks like I have to reset my fitness tracker now because it won't pair again unless it gracefully unpairs. that pisses me off the most - end rant
Were you able to recover anything the other night, I hope so!! I know there are some whizzes out there who work literal magic in this situations!
If anyone else is team apple - I actually didn't know about checking which apps drain you battery this article was pretty useful.
