Pineapple upside down cake. Cake vodka, pineapple juice, amaretto. I try to limit myself to one and then just hit the plain vodka and club soda, but some nights....

Thanks! Sorry your mom had to go through it. I want to say I hope she's doing well now, but I'm always afraid I might be saying the wrong thing.

How short is "short"? Most of my hair is starting to lay down, but there are a few inches in front that just stick straight up. The front of my head is the last bit to fill in.

Did she just go through chemo or anything? After a few rounds of chemo, I couldn't follow what the doctors were saying and just had them speak to my mom or roommate who could explain it to me repeatedly. She may be having similar cognitive problems. Cancer treatment really messes with your brain.

Short-haired jezzies!! Help!! I am in the process of growing in my hair. It fell out from chemo, but has been growing (SLOWLY) since Thanksgiving. It's about an inch and a half now. I have never had hair this short and have no idea how to care for it or what styling products to use! I am waiting for it to grow in a…

Eat before you drink, alternate every drink with a full glass of water, don't drink sweet drinks. I learned that last one the hard way at one of my law school's functions. They were serving some kind of orange cosmos, I was having a bad day, and I ended up drinking at least 10 or 12 of them in 2 hours. It was a bad…

Absolutely. I was so confused when Raising Hope started airing. I kept wondering where they were hiding all the dead bodies.

I pull away and he inches closer and closer... *sigh* How old was your cat when it stopped?

Anyone have any tips on training a kitten to stop biting? Specifically, Mister Smee, my 10 month old kitten, loves nothing more than biting my nose. He loves being kissed and actively solicits face to face contact, but inevitably, he tries to bite my nose. It doesn't matter if I'm asleep or awake, my nose ends up…

I've had to move home twice as an adult. The first time, I had been out of the home for years and moved home to help my mom out and find a new job. It was rough-going for a few months. I felt weird and humiliated living with her. It also was a completely new dynamic, being an adult and on the same sort of level with…

I was able to find people to take me to and from chemo. I always told them to leave during it though, since it takes hours and I would zonk out for most of it anyways. They would load me up on Ativan too, so I blacked out through most of my infusions. The harder part, the time when I desperately needed someone was the…

My cat started doing this when I moved back home for a few months. After a month of being surrounded by my mom's animals, he just started spraying everywhere. We checked him for infections, kidney stones, etc. Nothing. We are trying him on Prozac for a few months. It got so bad, he was peeing on the kitchen table...…

I usually use vinegar and water. I scrub the spot with it and then leave a bowl with vinegar and water in the room for a day or so, to get rid of any lingering smell.

I'm fat, unattractive, alone, in my 30's, and am in remission (stage 3A endometrial cancer). I lived thousands of miles from home, in a remote community, where I lived only a short time and had few friends. It was horrible. The few friends I did have (save one) dropped me after a while, because I could no longer go…

That is outstanding. I can think of at least two recent Christmases where I don't remember a thing I got, but I remember having white chocolate and candy cane crumble dipped pretzels and was happier than anyone had a right to be.

So I find myself in the unique position of being able to sort of start life over and I have no idea what to do. I recently left my job and moved in with my mom so that I could recover from cancer. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 endometrial cancer and underwent a total hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and months of very…

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. My dad died of pancreatic cancer in 1997. I was diagnosed with stage 3 endometrial cancer this year, at the ripe, old age of 32. Aggressive chemo and surgical menopause at the same time is a goddamn nightmare. I've been in remission for 2 months and still have trouble walking, talking,…

I watched this last night and at the time, I kept wondering if I got a contact high via my dish. That whole exchange was just insane.

Stories like this always make me think of Ceca, the Serbian turbo-folk queen, and her marriage to Arkan, the war lord/war criminal.

Speaking as someone who just finished months of aggressive chemo, I say give her the marijuana, as much of it as she needs, whenever she needs it. Chemo is a bitch. My last treatment was in October and I'm still trying to recover from it. Spending days in bed screaming and whimpering from the intense pain and nausea…
