Yes, totally. Money and fame at such an impressionable age does more harm than good in most cases. I mean I imagine what a shitshow I would be if I’d had millions at 19. At that age, what else are you going to spend it on if not debauchery?

One of my friends is a season ticket holder and she met a bunch of the guys IRL at a bar one night (this was a few years ago, I want to say 2010/2011? like, around the time that they started to get really good and the Hawks stopped being the laughing stock). She was fangirling all over the place but the guys were so…

This! Honestly, before I was vegan and I actually ate whatever was served at a wedding, I was never impressed by the food. It’s usually cold and bland, and I’ve been to some awesome weddings with some great caterers and that was STILL the case. When people started complaining about my wedding being vegan, I said the…

Actually ours was great! Our guests said they loved our food and cake. And, all of them went into it grumbling about how it was going to be so bad. People were genuinely shocked by how much better it was than they thought! Vegan done right can absolutely be satisfying. Sorry it wasn’t a good experience for you!

WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE! Ugh, I’m so sorry. Eff that noise.

I’m guilty of *thinking* that maybe someone whose pregnant shouldn’t be consuming XYZ, but the gall to actually say it out loud is...wow. I typically keep my trap shut because I’ve never been pregnant, know nothing about pregnancy, and honestly pose these things as questions in my head. (“Should she be consuming 8…

I really missed my opportunity to make my guests hate my vegan wedding even more. If only I had known I could have bouquets of kale and lentils. What a sad day for me, on the one monthiversary of my clearly ill-conceived wedding.

This all is super surprising to me. I don’t watch the Tonight Show but I remember him on SNL as just the goofy guy who couldn’t deliver a line without giggling to save his life. I always just thought he was kind of goofy. Never would have guessed substance abuse/not being a good father/etc.

This! I come from a family of non-huggers but all of my friends, coworkers, the families of any guy I’ve ever been with—all huggers. I learned to BECOME a hugger because otherwise I feel super awkward whenever saying goodbye, but my instinct is still to linger in a hugger’s shadow while they’re hugging goodbye and…

Just in time. This is by no means a submission, just something I’d like to share. My husband and I moved from an old apartment in July (the building was built in 1920—and I lived there for about four years, he moved in during year 3) and we always felt like something was up there. Each of us has our own stories of…

Me too! My husband and I were just getting excited for this the other night!

I’ve resorted to taking my make-up off right when I get home from work (like, as long as I have nothing else going on that day) and washing my face then, because otherwise, I’ll forget and/or be too lazy by the time I think about it before bed. Cannot tell you the amount of times that I thought “meh, fuck it” when my…

:( Similarly, make-up was not permitted in my house until about two years after the other girls at school started playing. I never learned any make-up skills (or hair skills, for that matter) from my mom, and at 27, I’m JUST now veering out of my make-up comfort zone and learning new tricks after having my make-up…

Speaking of scary things, doesn’t Jez put out an annual spooky stories post around Halloween time every year? Don’t tell me I missed it. :( That’s my absolute faaaaave.

Just changed my name (kept mine and added his, no hyphen) and people have been side-eyeing the SHIT out of me at work. Like, wtf people? I’m 27 years old and this has been my name my entire life. I wasn’t going to abandon it! Plus, it’s a really cool and rare name. People are the worst.

I can’t imagine feeling comfortable forgoing a tampon and wearing these. But, then I also had a moment of anger when I realized how much money I will spend on tampons in my lifetime and it makes me want to try something new. I just don’t think I’m bold enough to even try the diva cup, much less these.

Kate Hudson bugs me for reasons I can’t really articulate.

My most satisfactory moment of my wedding was when my husband turned to me and said, “You did an amazing job.” Like, I didn’t do it all myself—he wanted to help!—but I am so agonizingly type A that he just kind of let me run with it, and have meltdowns about “omg does THIS navy match THAT navy” and thought I was…

Because if all of us dems vote for Bernie knowing that his self-proclaimed “socialist” status could scare off the GOP, then the race is a suicide. You know? Too many people think Obama ruined America and are ready to jump ship and vote a Trump or a Huckabee into office. I wouldn’t be surprised if a Republican wins the…

Sad but true. :(
