Just in case you were wondering as to the actual spelling, it's "pinochle." Aaaaaand there's the extent of what I know about pinochle.

This broke my heart. This was me, except I didn't cut. I ate. My family was falling apart at the seams, and so was I. It took me forever to learn to swim and not just tread water.

"So maybe that's why none of the grownups in my life offered me the kind of help I needed."

My mother insisting that "these are the best years of your life" in regards to the high school/teenage years made me seriously contemplate suicide. I figured if life only got worse, what was the point? I also suffer from depression but it is in check now and I am enjoying the best years of my life in my 40s.

Your story resonates so much. I was a fat socially awkward kid who liked grownups better than children, and was teased and ostracized. I first asked my parents if I could see a counselor when I was 9. We were living abroad at the time, they promised it would happen when we got home, but nothing more was said. I had a…

I think the man he was with in the first news broadcast is his grandpa. Perhaps he spends quite a bit of time with him and has taken on his delivery. One of my brothers did this with our grandpa and (apparently—I wasn't born yet) it was hilarious. He even deepened his voice, walked around with an unlit corncob pipe in…

I used to babysit a kid who overused actually. She clearly didn't know what it meant but even better, she mispronounced it as "actionly". I highly recommend you slip at least one "actionly" into your conversations today.

It does suck when people judge you for getting enough sleep, or try to use their own sleep deprivation as some kind of moral high ground to guild you into sleeping less. I'm not sure why being well rested is such a sin. It's rather short-sighted and stupid of our culture to idolize sleep deprivation, really.

The above numbers are just averages - and as we know people vary greatly.

To me, that look says, "Smolder, damn it. Are they smoldering, yet? Shit, I forgot to blink."

Eat or don't eat what you want, but her glazed-eyes-mouth-breathing-red-carpet-movie-star face mostly just reads to me as "My blood sugar is low." *shrug*

She better hope that kid doesn't have a blowout all over that couture. I even put towels down before my fully clothed kid nursed because she would poop UP HER BACK. The first time it happened, it was so loud and messy that I thought I broke her.

At 27, I feel like I shouldn't still want to go to bed ~11:30 and wake up around 10am. WHY AM I WEIRD? I still need a ton of sleep...

So... basically... they're all female versions of Allen, himself?

I humbly suggest they get one of these for the chilliest situation of all:

One (1) pillow. Please make sure this pillow is functional and not decorative because there is a difference and sometimes you get yelled at for getting pizza sauce on something that cost $19.99 and money doesn't just grow on trees, Mark, okay? People work all day to have nice things and you're going to need to take…

So a source article says "there is no law that specifies how old a child has to be before he or she can go somewhere unsupervised. It's done on a case-by-case basis." But she had to pay $4,000 bond to get out of jail. For not breaking a nonlaw that doesn't exist. Hmm.
