I know a guy who had your scenario (b) happen to him. It was... unfortunate. What was also unfortunate was that he didn't learn his lesson and did it again, to someone else, a few years later, with similar results.

The Egypt Game!!!! Man, I loved that book so much... I need to find it and re-read it. It's been at least 20 years since I read it.

I'm so jealous!

I read this book about a million times as a kid. It both scared and fascinated me.

My ex was 2 inches shorter and about 125 pounds lighter than me. His first wife was about my size, and his new wife is quite a bit larger than me (no sour grapes, just truth). He frequently said how "comfy" I (and, I assume, the others) was to cuddle with. He also liked to cook for me and watch me eat, so maybe there…

Oddly enough, I find bras damn uncomfortable (haven't worn one in a couple years because of it), but I love wearing a corset. Maybe because it's a longer line and not just the band around my ribcage, or because you can't really slouch while wearing a corset, so it doesn't shift around the way a bra can. I never…

Awwww... Thanks, Uber, I needed some warm fuzzies today!

As the wife of a former pizza delivery driver, raising a family on what he made, thank you for this.

Ugh. I'm in WI, too, and every time I see one of those "we stand with Walker" signs, I want to add one next to it that says "and against women, LGBT, and poor people".

I had strep throat so bad I was stuck in bed for a few days and those were the only books I had at hand. Both my husband and my oldest son thought they were just fantastic, so I gave it a shot. I will admit to just skimming through the last 2!

Just the thought of that much buttercream made me gag a little.

I have everything from a size 14 - 22 (or M - 2XL) in my closet, all of which fit. I've given up trying to make sense of clothing sizes, and try EVERYTHING on before I buy.

As would I! I love both my guys, and I am so happy with them both.

It is. We used to be really close and then she started with the pills, and they moved away, and then moved back, and by then she was totally addicted. He was trying to stay clean, but he injured himself badly at work, so he started with the pills... they stopped calling, stopped visiting, stopped answering calls, just…

See, now, when you tell it that way, it's actually interesting. The books were both boring and infuriating. (I've only seen the first 2 movies, so I don't know about those.)

This is basically what happened to a couple of friends of ours. Now they're both in jail, and their kids are bouncing from family member to family member while they try to find a permanent home for them.

*checks self* I don't think so?

"children physiologically can't deal with strong flavors"

Nope. I just kept getting pregnant. Which sounds ridiculous, but we had shit luck with birth control, and twice, (1st and 3rd) I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was more than 4 months along.

I've got 4 kids (all boys!), but no real horror stories. Not super pleasant, mind you, just not horrific. I'm telling youall, anyway!
