Saaaaaaame, girl. My husband is always after me to do some landscaping, and I keep putting it off because I hate it. I forget that it’s there, and not water it for weeks, and then it’s all dead - all that hard work down the toilet. Plus, it’s just not that important to me. I tell him if he wants it that bad, he should…

You take your gold star, you beautiful creature.

omg, i had a summer of guilt-filled screwing around with the specter of a Judgy Jesus hanging over our heads. Sometimes it was the dude that flipped out, sometimes it was me. It was the summer I began to break away from my fundamentalist upbringing, so ultimately I look back on it with gratitude, but the individual…

Schools really need to follow up on this shit. I grew up in a family for whom the time/effort/money issue was a huge barrier to things like this. Aside from the vaccines required for school, I never saw the inside of a doctor’s office until the year I had scarlet fever, pneumonia, and influenza in the span of a few…

Ugh, I know. I realized my mistake later, but I can’t correct it. Pfffttt.

Yeah. For the doctors to be able to tell that she was multiparous, she would have had to had pregnancies that went pretty far, if not all the way full term. Were those late miscarriages/stillbirths? Second trimester abortions? Did those kids get born and sold, a la Georgia Tann?

holy christ that’s incredible

oh my god, YES EXACTLY

That dress is...dumb. I like the idea of the boning in front, but it’s executed all wrong. It pulls at the fabric strangely and makes it look like it’s not fitted right up top, in addition to giving her pointyboob in a very uncool way. The extra long/wide/bell-ish sleeve looks chic when you’re posing for the pap, but…

Absolutely true. That’s a big part of how we got Prohibition, in fact. Many people simply assumed that their drinking habits would be exempt - that the “right kind” of people would be able to go on doing what they were doing - then lo and behold the fanatics took hold and EVERYTHING was outlawed, effectively…

Yeah, I could definitely be wrong. No doubt about that.

Okay, so I used to be an Evangelical Christian anti-abortion fanatic. As a currently sane person who adamantly supports reproductive freedom, this aspect of the current hardline turn to the Right is actually somewhat encouraging.

HA! That’s a great one.

Yeah, Barney’s schick was not funny the second time around, but also Ted was pretty gross, too. He’s so zeroed in on finding The One that he really steamrolled all over the potential and actual romantic interests in his life. Not exactly rapey, but just like...dude. Chill the fuck out. You’re dangerously close to the…

Lol, Mercy Street. Ted Mosby does Civil War cosplay, and can’t decide if he’s doing it ironically or not. (I watched both seasons, but yiiiiiikes.)

When I was in law school, my husband and I would watch HIMYM on the laptop in bed before we fell asleep, and it was basically the only time we spent together for years. So, we had a real fondness for it. Decided to go back and rewatch a couple months ago for old times’ sake, and holy shit. How did we not realize how aw…

You got sex [c]hair and you got it from me! Sex [c]hair!

For those not in the know, that milk thing is a bone they tossed to the West Wing fans in a reference to one of the best comic moments of the whole series. You get probably 10 minutes of setup for Josh to spit out cold coffee, and it is WORTH IT. When my husband and I watched the trailer and we saw the milk scene, we…

oooOOOOoooo that sounds amazing
