Huntsville is mostly redneck-free.

I still say, “Come here, little chicken! I don’t want to hurt you...I just want to eat you” when I am trying to catch something.

My little miniature-miniature schnauzer (the double because she is only 12 lbs) turned 14 on April 14th. I’ve had her since she was six weeks old. My son’s face is the first thing she ever saw when her little puppy eyes unsealed for the first time. Any advice for how to spoil an animal during what is statistically…

It's Tyrael. Tell me it ain't.

IUDs don't prevent ovulation, do they? I thought they just made implantation of a fertilized egg much (much) less likely. At least that's what I was told when I had my Mirena put in to control heavy bleeding. The doctor told me that it would give my uterus the message to stop bleeding, but the misbehaving ovaries…

For an added dimension of "wtf," there was a woman who did this several years ago, wearing hijab in Arab, Alabama, and documenting how she was treated. SPOILER: Aside from a few odd glances, nothing happened.

I have no idea. I had actually found what was left of her set of printed invitations hidden in her house, and found that she had sent out nearly 50. At that point, I sort of put my hands together and yelled her name into the ether in true "Wrath of Khan" fashion. We simply couldn't afford all the stuff she…

The MiL viewed herself as some sort of deposed Southern aristocracy. Which was a crock, because a truly gracious Southern lady would have done no such thing. And yes, my sister is awesome :)

My ex MiL decided that our low-key wedding just "wouldn't do." She went as far as to print her own set of invitations to the wedding and send them to people we didn't invite...about 50 of them. She went to the florist behind our backs and changed the types and colors of the flowers (which we discovered by accident…

I read a long time ago that the Japanese believed that to be a coward was to have a "yellow liver." In the act of disembowelment, one was able to prove that he did not actually have a yellow liver, and was not a coward. I don't have any receipts on that though, just something I read that made sense as to why the…

Foot binding was started on very young girls. They generally didn't put "themselves" through it.

I think the trick is to take it and then go directly to BED. And leave enough time to get some sleep, don't think you're going to get up in three hours.

I have to disagree with you there. I've been taking Ambien for years, and the craziest thing I've ever done was eat a cheese sandwich with blackberry jelly. I know that anecdotes do not equal evidence, but how many people who take ambien regularly end up as mass shooters? My initial guess is "not many."

We tied my son's baby tooth to our greyhound's collar and threw a ball. It was sort of anti-climatic...the tooth was out before anyone even knew what happened.

You pull off a leaf from near the bottom, dunk it in butter (or whatever condiment turns you on), then holding it by the narrow end, you draw it through your teeth to eat the flesh. When you've pulled off all the leaves, you scrape off the "furry" part and eat the heart, the bit that all the leaves were attached to.

I molded tin foil into "space clothes" for my Barbie and she explored alien planets. Johnny West piloted the ship, but stayed inside for the most part.

I thought Vulcan "S" names were masculine. Wouldn't "Spock" be "T'pock" or something like that?

I have one problem with polygamous marriage. An example: If one of the members falls into a coma, who gets to make the decisions? Even under current marriage arrangements, it's not always cut-and-dried who does. Would the members have to come to a consensus? There isn't any framework that I'm aware of to handle…
