I love Leo as an actor, so I especially hope in his case it is just a superficial thing. However, it wouldn't surprise me if the reason we don't hear a peep is because he makes his girlfriends sign NDAs. Even if he is the nicest guy who refuses to date women over 25, it's just odd for there to be zero drama out there. Do any of the Vanderpump Rules guys have normal dating habits? I'm watching early seasons, and Jax seems like he'll shag anyone.

I try to avoid posting about the political shows entirely. I think my warnings were all from The View. Lol I genuinely get confused about what’s acceptable and not, so I mostly stick with general chat and Real Housewives forums. This board is my favorite place. I don’t use social media, so I’d be really bummed if I got banned.

There are so many absolutely gorgeous women in Hollywood around Leo’s age too. I’m suspicious of the character of men who routinely go after way younger women. Do they value women as human beings at all? I think so many of them end up in the news at some point for abusing women.

Her face and body look more and more like Kim’s.

Menstrual cramps. I’m normally okay each month, but my stomach hurts today. :(

Sandoval's impression of Scheana's dancing in season 2 is so funny.

I’m surprised Tom lasted so long with Ariana. She comes across pretty confident early on.

Thank you for your input! I tend to see things like you unless I think a man and I are not on the same page about our friendship. 100% Despite my venting, I'm still so grateful for my new job. I'm sure all of this will just force me to get out more during nights and weekends and be grateful for the friendships I've kept from my last place. It means a lot that the few I was closest to still care about me as well. Sometimes, out of sight, out of mind.

I'm definitely taking action to feel better. I'm not crying every day or anything like that, but it has definitely happened more than once the last couple of weeks. I'm not someone who cries over just anything either. I think as much as I miss aspects of my old job, I may still be dealing with the trauma of certain things that went down there too. I worked with the beautiful souls I miss, but I was also bullied and harassed. It felt very yucky, and I didn't share any of it with my family or non-work friends. Some of the circumstances felt embarrassing. I felt many different emotions my last months there, the time between my jobs, and now. A couple years ago I was very depressed, and despite the stuff I'm going through now, I'm happy to say it's nothing like my mental state from a couple years ago when I was in therapy for awhile. I'm doing mostly okay. :) Just adjusting to life changes I guess. I'm hoping the more training I get and busier I am, the less time I will have to miss my old job. I have kept in touch with a few of them! I'm probably going to meet with a couple who are mutual friends next month. Another coworker suggested meeting up for lunch, but no set plans yet. He isn't friends with the other two, so I'm not sure if I should invite him to join that meet-up o not. Do you all think it's appropriate to meet with him just us? He's a sweet old man and is older than my parents. I'm not sure if his wife would see me as a kid the way he does or find it weird if we met up for lunch. I think that's part of why I feel an extra sad about the goodbyes. I worked with mostly men, so my friends there were not all ladies I could just reach out to whenever without worrying about it being weird. Such good points! Thank you so much for all your thoughtful advice. It means a lot how kind you all are. I felt bad just reading your post. Me too! So true! Thank you for reminding me of this. I initially missed the job I had prior to my last job as well! It was another place where I was good at the job and had lots of friends. I left because I wanted to make more money, and I was initially sad it couldn't have happened with the previous job. Once I was settled in, I wouldn't have traded my then new job for the old one even if they matched the pay or even paid a little more. I hope the same happens here. Haha good advice! Trust me, I won't. I'm a scaredy cat.

Messed up, but I'm not surprised. The is not the first time Mary's said very hurtful things. I sure hope so. It took Brandi harassing Caroline Manzo for Brandi to (hopefully) finally be showed the door.

Schwartz gushed over Lisa Vanderpump in an old episode I just watched where he is probably early 30s? Sounds like he doesn't discriminate either direction. In al seriousness, he was a whole adult before his girlfriend was born. I don't think an 18-year gap is totally nuts when you're both older, but 23 is SO young. I like when I can learn from someone older and wiser, but I guess guys just want as young and beautiful as possible.

Aw, you're so sweet. That would be lovely, wouldn't it? There is a lot of truth to that saying! The thing is, as good as putting my two weeks notice in felt, it was still kind of bittersweet at the time. I knew I'd miss certain aspects of the job (mostly the nice people I knew for several years). I also got to travel for work and loved seeing different parts of the country. I just didn't know the degree of how much I'd miss my old job. :( That's one reason I stayed for a while unhappy. I kept thinking it could go to how it used to be. I could probably go back there if I wanted to, but things just got too weird for me. It's still so early at my new place, I'm hoping things will get better. I am grateful they're pretty nice so far even though I feel like a little orphan. lol I hope I get more training, get better at my job, and get used to the culture. I have to find ways to socialize outside of work. Thank you for the encouragement. 😀 Thanks Olivia. 🤗

I meant to post the update months ago. I was checked out, and everything about me was normal. My doctor said no perimenopause. It would really shock me if I went through menopause younger than everyone I know when I got my first period later than everyone I know (15). I don't know if there is a correlation between later menarche and menopause, but if I were to do the math about how long perimenopause lasts, my baby-making window would be only 25 years, compared to the current average of 40. Regardless, I know clock is ticking as far as having kids, but I should still have several more years where it is possible. I've tried to cut back on my soy consumption as well. I know I can't do 50 mg of spironolactone without messing up more cycle, but as a vegetarian sometimes I forget to take it easy on soy. I realized when I have a lot of tofu, I get my period early. When I do not, everything is pretty normal.

I would think email etiquette would be a big part of most modern jobs. My supervisor is pretty nice so far, so if she is like your former manager, I can work with that. I just hope she understands if I'm not picking up as quickly as I could be. I wish they had me training under someone else. I've had supervisors who were very passionate about their jobs and helping everyone, and that is how I prefer it. I will take someone nice and laidback and horrible with emails over someone who's quick responding but not so nice.

I know I posted a lot about how bad things at my old job got, but I'm still adjusting to my new place. On one hand, I'm grateful to be someplace where I'm not harassed, paid fairly, no bullying, nothing all that bad. There are many positives. But some days I feel so alone and miss all the good of my old job and other previous jobs. There were people I truly cared about at my last job, even loved. I miss them SO much. I'm a single woman with a small group of family and friends. I'm also shy and anxious, so I turn down a lot of social things when I'm invited even if I wish I could get myself out there. I didn't realize how much I relied on work for my social outlet. My body confidence has gotten better, but still a work in progress, so I'm leery of dating. I spend my days in the office working alone for the most part. Every now and then my supervisor might stop by to help, but I wondered if I'm a nuisance to her because she doesn't respond to most of my emails. I'm not getting the proper training from her at my new job. I've had mostly good supervisors/trainers throughout the years who were very happy to help me. There were usually others around to help out too if I needed anything. At my new job, there aren't as many people with the company period, and we're all pretty spread apart in the building. I barely interact with another human, much less have any familiar faces or friends I could go to if I need something. I guess it is a bittersweet feeling. I still have gratitude and am trying to be positive. I've joined a gym more for my mental health than for any fitness goals. But boy, I didn't expect to be crying due to loneliness.
