OMG my sister used to do that when we were kids, the barbie foot thing. I never connected that with pica, it explains so much.

That was a mean, shitty thing that man said to your sister. Pro choice or whatever, nobody should ever say something like that to a child. Abominable.

Does it really help to do informational interviews?

That's the part that gets me. Sad as it is, Finnick's body and his sexuality are huge parts of his character in the books. He's supposed to be crazy beautiful, the most handsome guy in all the districts, completely masculine and charming. And this is what we get? I'm sure the guy can act or he wouldn't have gotten the…

I would enjoy dirtbag so much more if it consisted mainly of updates on the lives of the Supernatural cast.

I could totally see myself doing this. In fact, I have almost done this exact thing. It comes from wanting a shortcut, and seeing a narrow space, and then thinking you can just turn to the side and suck it in and get through. So you try it, because damn if you're going to turn around and go all the way back around the…

I am conducting this experiment right now. Or trying to, anyway. Three years ago I developed a taste for craft beers. I gained about thirty pounds. I was eating healthy otherwise and getting moderate exercise, but I kept gaining weight. Then one day I sat down with my fitness obsessed sister and actually tallied up…

I'm sorry :( Alzheimers runs in my family as well, and it is so sad. My grandfather may have it, his doctors say they are not sure yet. He used to be a brilliant engineer. He worked down the hall from Neil Armstrong in the 60s, and designed missiles for the government throughout the 70s. Now he mis-remembers these…

Oh, lordy, that is so true. Those are my exact feelings. My little sis is a big health nut. She's not a jerk about it, but she works out all the time and doesn't understand when I decline to join in. Like, no, sis, I can't actually play DDR with you for three hours. Because I would die. I want to be more active but…

As a lady who sells craft beers for a living, I love the idea of people learning more beer lingo. The more people who come in and want real beer (instead of Budweiser, yuck!), the better. Independent breweries are amazing for invigorating local economies, and the difference in quality between a craft brew and bottled…

Thanks for this. Seriously, I don't think it's any weirder than daydreaming about say, your future children's names, or building your someday dream home.

For me, Columbus means German village and gallery hop and the short north, so I was honestly surprised that it ranks that high up for bro culture. But what I really came here to say is that I went to school with Jeni's niece, and one time she brought over a special ice cream sampler, and I got to try a bunch of new…

I will second this with my story of the time I smoked some very expensive weed, forgetting that I had already taken a couple of painkillers for my period cramps about an hour earlier. I hallucinated, blacked out for a while, and had a total trip experience, all while feeling like my heart was beating so fast I was…

Yikes to that story about the dealer. That same thing happened the one time I met a guy who sold LSD, actually. College kid, sold it out of his bedroom, and didn't wear gloves when he handled it. So he would accidentally dose himself and not notice until things started looking weird. I felt terrible for the guy,…

"All the other white supremacists made fun of the KKK." Something about that is hilarious, the thought that the KKK never gets to sit at the cool kids' table with all the popular white supremacists.

Truth. I work as a cashier, and once a random customer (male) came up and complimented my earrings. I smiled reflexively, but the whole thing was really weird. I'm not a fan of random guys hitting on me when I'm at work. If you want to chat with somebody in retail, talk about the weather. Or ask how my day is going,…

Because they are brave, and they want to be taken as seriously as men are in international reporting. There's no way she didn't know the risks when she went there. But that's where the story was. You could say the same thing of reporters of either sex who go to the front lines of a war, for example.

Want to find a protest (or start one) with me? Central Ohioan here, and I want to do something about this.

Central Ohio Jezebelles, who would like to join a protest against this budget with me? I just wrote a letter to Governor Kasich explaining my outrage over his actions, which clearly show that he and the other (WHITE, MALE) Republicans in Columbus will do anything they can to hurt the women of this state. This isn't…

I can relate. MA student, and I had similar issues - plus depression, constant anxiety (which really was caused by school stress), and occasional panic attacks. Two things that helped me. First, all the stress goes away if you feel like you're actually on top of the stuff you need to get done. I found I could get more…
