First off: We are so grateful for this funny, smart, wonderful community. To show our thanks, we’re offering 20% off annual subscriptions for the next week. (That’s just $4/month.) You’ll receive a full year of Big Salad, plus access to all the archives, including my personal experience with botox, what it felt like to have sex after divorce, Alison’s Piepmeyer’s wallpaper before-and-after, Ashley C. Ford’s realization about growing up in poverty, four ways to deepen friendships as an adult, how to know if it’s time to get divorced, and much more.
