UGH. YES ON THE BOOBS. I've always had huge boobs, but after I went on hormonal bc in my early to mid 20s they fucking grew like crazy. I ended up having a breast reduction at 28 when I reached a 36 L. Am now a 36 DDD, and absolutely refuse to go any bigger than that because of a damn pill that makes me all crazy…

So when everyone talks about IUDs causing heavier/more painful periods, is it really the IUD, or are most of these people coming straight off of hormonal bc? I took myself off the pill four years ago (cannot do the evil hormones) and my period got heavier after that. Wondering if it'll get even heavier still if I got…

Wait wait wait, your first six week period? Like your period lasted six weeks? Full-on flow or just spotting?

And somehow, in the seven weeks since they've been dating, Mimi-Rose has also managed to discover her pregnancy, see a doctor, schedule an abortion, and marshal the funds to pay for it (a first trimester medical abortion in New York runs about $350 to $500). Mimi-Rose isn't meant to be a struggling 20-something in…

I hear you on the checklist, but I feel like this could have been plot development, if only for Adam's character. This article doesn't really delve into the scene where Adam trows all his shit in milk crates and goes hurdling out the door only to be confronted by Mimi-Rose right outside. She doesn't try to make him…

Kevin McKidd! In a kilt!

Yeah, that looks like me if I attempt to twerk. Only the front shakes, none of the back. :/

Ugh, so torn. On one hand, that weird, Amish chinstrap thing. On the other, look at the glorious gray in that beard.

Oh holy god.

I typically end up doing an old-fashioned waist cincher if anything, because my problem area is my tummy, not my hips/ass. In fact my ass is kind of on the smallish size, and Spanx make it look flat as hell. Spanx are good for the thigh chub rub though, which is helpful in summer (I wear tights pretty much all winter,…

Would be a grand slam for me if spoken by the right person...

I agree! Upthread someone said it looked like Revlon's Rum Raisin lipstick from the 90s, which I wore religiously. I found an old tube the other day and put it on and kinda dug it. But I'm whole-heartedly embracing the 90s comeback.

I totally still have a couple of tubes of Rum Raisin. I'm horrible at throwing things out — I still have pretty much every old lipstick and empty bottle of perfume I've ever owned — and I tried it on the other day and didn't hate it. But then I'm totally embracing the 90s comeback, so...

The trailers were kind of my favorite part.

Cost is a typically tacky topic, but I know how much both of my best friends' rings were. And they know mine, but only because I AM tacky and was bragging about our Etsy steal. With the first friend to get engaged, the topic came up when I was discussing ring insurance with her fiancee (he volunteered how much it was,…

I've toyed with the same idea actually. Holy hell, do I have some stories. Maybe we should start an anthology!

I have a friend (a fellow southern baptist school survivor — our textbooks literally all came from Bob Jones University Press) who found Thief in the Night not too long ago and tried to play it ironically in the background of one of our parties. I only watched the first five minutes and tried really hard to just…

Haha, yeah, I typically go with secular humanist.

I hear ya. Like I said up-thread, my parents actually used to teach bible study classes at our church about end-of-times prophecy crap. To this day, I have most of my family hidden on my Facebook feed, because it is LITERALLY all they talk about. My aunt just started a blog called "Beam me up!" about watching for…

Here. For good measure...
