Same train of thought, it would be awesome to have something similar to connect with local people in your city or something. It’s so hard to make new friends in your 20s/30s.

I was reading about this earlier. This is the part that got me:

Whyyyyyyy do all these trolls get ungreyed so easily today??? It’s the same on the Rose McGowan article! Is today “MRA troll appreciation day” on Jezebel or something?!

“You know, I usually like really skinny, pretty Barbie doll types, but I really like you. You are so real and low maintenance. I like how you don’t put so much into your appearance. You’re so real.” After I had spent 2 hours getting ready for this date...

About 3 years ago, I ended a friendship with a woman I had met at my first teaching job. WE became fast friends and I really enjoyed her and we had tons of fun together. Eventually she moved into my apartment complex and we did a pretty great job of balancing working together and living next door while still…

You guys, I’m fostering a rabbit this week that was kept in a dirty, wire-bottomed hutch and then dumped in a park. All four of her feet have infected open sores, one so bad that she can’t put weight on it, and she needs at least 3 different medications every day. But she’s still a sweetheart and hobbles up for pets…

Everyone who has given me encouragement and moral support over this crazy journey of just picking up and completely uprooting my life at age 38: THANK YOU! I think it has all finally come together!

Not the WHOLE vacation, just the trip there...

Does it count if you didn’t fully realize it was awful?

I was about five years old. My mother decides to load four of us kids in the van and take us from Washington State to California, to go to my mom’s cousin’s wedding. While there, we were also going to visit her siblings and go to Disneyland and all sorts of fun…

ooh! Ooh! My mom’s family is from S. Florida, so “family vacation” always meant “visit Gramma and Grampa in Ft. Lauderdale. Cool. It has a beach! My grandparents live like, on the damn beach so my brother and I would jump out of the car, throw on a swim suit and run head long into the water on a semi public-ish beach…

My late husband and his best man were in charge of transporting the liquor and the wedding cake to the hall before heading off to the church. They very carefully filled the trunk of the borrowed Lincoln with all the booze, then gingerly set the cake on top.

Not my cake disaster but I was witness to this as a plus one at a wedding. Couple orders gluten free cake because best man has Celiac (we know this because the table tents said in lieu of favors they were donating to several charities including one having to due with Celiac disease in honor of the best man). Bakery…

I agree with Dan. I myself am a tattoo artist (and a woman, at that), and I probably would have refused to do it, or at least tried to talk you out of it. I’ve refused men and women alike for things like this, it has nothing to do with gender. Neck tattoos are a horse of a different color in tattooing, many artists…

I wanted a 3 tier square shape, small and simple. My ex husbands mother claimed to be the cake boss of the rural south and “could whip that up easy peasy.” She kept me up to date on cake progress and everything she was super stoked, and I bought the hype. Come the day of our wedding (April fools day actually) we get…

Wow.

HAHAHA you didn’t get it because you’re butthurt about it. Here let me clear it up for you:

So your thesis is Dan denied your request for a neck tattoo because of your gender. And your basis for that assumption is that he’s done a bunch of (in your opinion) tacky tattoos on other people. None of which are on necks. You did no research on the general feeling about neck tattoos in the tattooing community,…

Thank you for saying what I wanted to say in a clearer, digestible way. I have a handful of tattoos, some highly visible, some more discrete. I was in for a touch up a few weeks ago (because I am old and have tattoos old enough to be faded and need touching up, which, for some reason, made me acutely aware of my own…

Man, how do all these people in the comments not know about Gucci Mane?!

I can’t tell if I’m missing something in what you’ve said or if you’re just not familiar with Gucci Mane but suffice it to say I don’t think he ever expected to work in customer service!
