I'd give my entire 401K to that kickstarter if it guaranteed I got one!

oh yeah. When I broke up with my bf of 6.5 years I had so many friends that were like "yeah, he was weird. we didn't understand why you were with him, but thought it wasn't our business." Dudes, you're my friend, bring it up.

I agree to an extent, however, I have to remind myself that the BTK killer was happily married and a "loving" prominent member of his church. Which just makes me really scared. Seems like this case may be denial on her part, though.

I feel like his sentiments about how the people aren't real are a huge problem in society today. Mostly on the internet, but also driving. As soon as a barrier is up, people tend to forget that these are other people. You have agency in their life with your actions, act like it.

I guess it's a regional thing, but we have a ton of local small restaurants where the waitress is often able to tell you what the chef is best at. I also know a bunch of chefs who get a lot of freedom and often create dishes that aren't necessarily the special that night, but that specific chef's recommended dish. You…

Sure did! He was a "nice guy," but once it was over his crazy came out.

Well, the fact that I had to re-break up with this guy was enough for me to know that whatever I did, he would make it a scene. We had dated for 6.5 years and had planned a wedding until I realized we barely liked each other 2 months before the event. I told him once that he needed to put house buying and the wedding…

for real. my one and only ticket was the friday of memorial day weekend a few years ago. i was on 495, not a car in sight on the downslope of an overpass. the cop not only pulled me over and wouldn't look at me, but he also claimed i was going faster than i was and would "give me a break." dude, i was in the middle…

Oh yeah. Emporia and 13- just set the cruise control to the speed limit.

Thank you so much! I love coffee. I also like the awful sweetened kind too. I would love to walk into a "real" coffee shop and get something but I've met a lot of people who are annoyed when you ask questions or tell them "hey, I get this at starbucks because i like this about it..." If it's super busy I understand…

So glad to hear that's not a bad thing! My dad's best friend (who is one of the BEST people I've ever met, just all around great guy) always gets his eggs basted. And yes, once was at a Denny's. They didn't seem to flinch on the order.

The extra caramel in the iced macchiato is the best part. You get pieces of cold caramel up in the straw. yum! that being said, when I want my diabetic shock of caramel I specify "a ton, like, A LOT, of extra caramel please." Otherwise, how are people supposed to know that you want a ridiculous amount? Can't fault…

Whenever I'm homesick for Pittsburgh I make a steak salad. Everyone I've served it to here in the south has loved it. I think people see fries on a salad and assume there are a Sam's club sized bag of Ore-Ida's on top of a single slice of romaine. I like a layer of fries, then some mozzarella cheese that tends to melt…

When I ask what the server prefers it's usually me asking what that particular restaurant is best at. If I'm looking at a burger and also the crab dish, perhaps the waitress would be able to tell me to lean towards the crab because the burgers aren't really that places specialty. Both my sister and brother were chefs…

I chose a starbucks because i didn't want someone to wait on us. (In fairness, this was a post break up talk for closure *rolls eyes*) The ex-bf kept talking and asking questions and crying. I felt so awful that I kept buying more and more cups of overpriced coffee. If I ever have to go through that again (here's…

Feminism is treating all with equality. She was wrong. He was also wrong. He was MORE wrong because HE COULD HAVE KILLED HER. Even if it was another man that he hit, he knocked someone out. Do you understand that she could have had a myriad of issues that could have even included death? He is a well trained athlete,…

It's ironic that if Ray Rice and his then-fiancee had a bowlful in that elevator instead of a fight, someone wouldn't have been knocked out (I don't think some people realize how nasty of an injury that is-she could have died) but he would have gotten a worse suspension.

My dad couldn't do my hair either. Though, he didn't want to hurt us so he would barely put the brush to our head. He didn't know how to braid, so he'd try doing ponytails, but, again, he didn't want to hurt us so he ended up gently gathering my hair and only wrapping the hairband around twice. It would fall out as I…

I think people are just recognizing how big of a helping of crow they're in for if this happens. With all the "feminist controversy" from the album a lot of people (myself included) got into pretty heated discussions of what Beyonce the brand means. The crux of many supporters was her promoting a healthy marriage with…

Terrifyingly, that's what I think too.
