Confessions of a Woman Who Had Her Entire Colon, Rectum, and Butthole Removed

ostomy bag

1. Why did you have your entire colon, rectum, and anus removed?

Answer: I had ulcerative colitis for 16 years. At my worst, I was having explosive diarrhea with blood and mucus 20 to 30 times per day. Eventually, I completely lost control of my bowels and would have accidents in public places, in my car, and in supermarkets. It was hell.

“My friend is turning 40, has nothing”

Best friend is turning 40. He has nothing. No savings. No house. No car. No real material possessions. No wife. No children. Average job.

He is just barely surviving paycheck to paycheck. He’s not happy with how his life is going and I can’t tell if he’s super depressed or not. I know he wants a wife or girlfriend at least, I don’t think he cares about kids (but I could be wrong).

I wanna give him some advice, but not really sure what to say. Or if there’s anything to say really.

He’s a smart dude, fit, active, etc., so it’s not like his life is a complete disaster. But I know it’s not where he wants to be, just not sure how I can help him level up??

Your Character Is What You Do When Nobody Would Ever Find Out

It’s easy to be a good person when people are watching.

It’s easy to be honest when someone might catch you lying. Easy to be generous when someone might praise you for it. Easy to do the right thing when doing the wrong thing could cost you your reputation, your marriage, or your career.

But what happens when you remove all of that?

The Kind of Asshole Who Looks at a Cheating Scandal and Blames the Wife

jensen_huang_and_lori

There’s a particular kind of asshole who sees that Jensen Huang admitted to cheating on his wife, takes one look at a photograph of her, and says, “Well, who could blame him?”

And just like that, we’ve learned considerably more about this asshole than we have about the marriage.

Imagine spending four decades with someone. You knew him when he was an engineering student, long before the billions, the fame, and the leather jackets. You built a family together. You watched him become one of the richest and most powerful men on Earth. And when he admits to cheating on you, a bunch of strangers on the internet decide the real scandal is that you don’t look like a 25-year-old Instagram model.

“I caught her cheating right before my flight home. What do I do now?”

cheating_long_distance_girlfriend

I met a girl online who lived in China, and we quickly fell in love. We talked every day and every night. We called constantly, told each other good night, and said “I love you” every day. Over time, I fell deeply in love with her. All I wanted was to build a life together.

Last year, I traveled to China to meet her in person. I met her friends and her mother, and we spent an incredible time together. It felt like everything we had built over the phone was real.

Your Dog Doesn’t Need to Come Everywhere With You

dogs everywhere

At some point in the last ten years, Americans collectively decided that dogs were no longer pets. They were children. And not just children, but children with unrestricted access to restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, and apparently every other place where the rest of us foolishly assumed we could exist without encountering a golden retriever’s asshole at eye level.
