I gotta get the fuck out of the Pacific Northwest and back to the East Coast where people are at least strangled with more sensible implements. Seriously though, this is terrible and also gross.

My thoughts exactly. Is it weird for someone who is 35 to look good? I can't really think of many old dried up 35 year olds, because 35 is pretty young in the grand scheme of things. Our culture is so messed up; our average lifespan is over 70, but by the time you hit half of that you're all washed up.

Hah, you say that like she's 80. Just wait until your 30s, my dear.

I THOUGHT THIS AS WELL!!! Well, I thought they referring to Kennedy, but I kind of liked her so I was excited.

Again, I have to say "Really???" I feel like the whole DM article is indeed about how weird it is for her to be dating a significantly shorter man. The article is full of sight gaggy pics and they open by referring to their height difference as "staggering." I do not see the article as celebrating their beautiful…

Uhh, seriously, you don't know where malagite arrived at any of that? Did you go to the original article? The whole point of it is how wacky it is that this tall woman has a short boyfriend. One of the main reasons this is at all of note is because of societal standards that dictate who we are supposed to be with and…

Even as a former gothy punk kid, I must concur: Kat's ring is mega corney. I actually cringed. I love a skull and all, but come on. I am embarrassed for all of us weirdos.

Oh man, I totally hear you on the disappearing invites. My mom died of cancer in 2008 right before Thanksgiving. The first year, I think I went to like 5 Thanksgiving dinners. Haha. Now no one really thinks about inviting me anymore. But even after 4 years, holidays are HARD (my mom and I were really close and LOVED…

I agree that the baking sheet was a potentially thoughtful gift (I do love to bake) but if he had really stopped to think for one second, he would have remembered that there is no way that sheet is getting in my oven. Just last week we had to go to his parents house to bake Xmas cookies because no baking sheet fits…

Oh man. That is even worse. I mean, that's not even misguided, it is just totally thoughtless. I can't even imagine opening a gift to find that.

Maybe!!! I actually kind of hope that is the case. I feel like I can easily give a pass for "Eeek, the holidays crept up on me and I didn't get you a gift in time but I wanted you to have something!" As opposed to "No, I put a lot of thought into these lightbulbs!" which is harder to excuse.

Haha, best answer yet! I also don't know who to agree with, but I definitely concur that this crap was REALLY ANNOYING and I defy ANYONE to not be a little ticked off when receiving these presents from their parter. We opened the gifts at his parents house and even his own mother (who is so amazing, I love her) was…

Maybe you are right...maybe there was sincerely thought there and it just totally missed. My gut still says that there was not...I mean, I can't even use the baking sheet. As for the journals, I did say it would be interesting to read them, but only in the context of him saying "Oh, I found all of these journals from…

Thanks for your input. Yes, I think this has been the thing nagging at me—that this is just one of many little things that build up and make me think twice about this relationship. I know relationships are always work, but this one has truly been a full time job. A lot to think about (as usual)...

I am so sorry to hear this! Like a few people have said, try to ask for the social worker. I am a social worker at a hospital, and we have coverage year round, even on Xmas (granted it is limited). They should be able to help you navigate this and maybe even set up a family meeting with you and the doctors and them.…

I am kind of having a holiday gone wrong right now and kind of want some input on it. I can't get the days off to go see family so am stuck here. I do have tomorrow off, but my boyfriend is working so we did presents tonight. I swear, I am not a materialistic person but I am having some really weird feelings about…

Man, Sir Mix A Lot was the worst thing that ever happened to women who actually have big asses. Whenever it comes on (which thankfully is no longer very often) all of these girls who do not have big asses get up and dance because it's so funny in an ironic way and I just sit there awkwardly with my actually big ass…

OH MY GOD! Where has this been my whole life!!?!?! Thanks for this link.

You know what's sad? There is fight in the comments. Over this freaking puppy video. Internet, you make me so sad sometimes.

Thank you so much for this Laura. This was my exact response to that article and I felt like some weirdo because people were tripping over themselves to post it on Facebook. I work on an inpatient psych unit as a social worker and OBVIOUSLY I am all for talking about mental illness and increasing access. But what you…
