TRUTH! Manatees are the most awesomest. I had to go on a work trip to UFL last fall and I had a weekend off.... So obviously I was like, MANATEEEEES!!! I went on the suuuuuuper early 6AM trip and it was amazing. I got to swim with a younger one and then a mom and baby. The moms actually pawn their babies off on the…

Thank you, I needed these after reading this story.

SO. PISSED. And I hate that it may undermine the credibility of the victim herself. I have known a few slightly unhinged mothers and fathers (mercifully not my own) who have done some truly baffling things in times of stress... Always thinking they are protecting or helping their children but inevitably making the…

THIS. But let’s be real. She doesn’t have any gay friends.

Am I the only one who’s a damn Ben Carson up in here??? How did that happen??? Am I more or less insulted than if I had gotten someone else? I’m so confuuuused. Help me?

I tell SO... You get 1/3, I get 1/3, the cat gets 1/3. I feel like that is totally fair. For some reason he disagrees? I don’t understand.

I work in college recruiting for a tech firm and have worked for two other large tech firms prior to my current job. One of the first questions we ask students is along the lines of “Did you build/take apart/invent stuff as a kid?”. The kind of stuff this kid is creating at his age makes him exactly the kind of kid…

Oh I’m sure they have. I’d also loooooove to hear her answer. I bet it’s just an unbelievably epic display of cognitive dissonance.

What the actual fuck?!?! I’m exploding with rage right now. I want to crush skulls. All of them.

So totally unrelated to this story but related to the gif... Some farm planning people came to meet with me this morning and one of the women and I were walking toward my barn. All of the sudden a little owl came bombing out of the woods, grabbed something (maybe a smaller bird?) and then flew all crazy style back…

I am in a three hour meeting and almost busted out laughing in the middle of it. Best. Thing. Ever.

Soooo... Is there like someplace I can buy tacky merchandise geared toward people who prefer to sit on the couch? Or who spend most of their work day pretending to be hustling while in reality they’re reading Jez and looking at FB?

Yes. And the food pictures. 99% of the food pictures are posted by my gay male friends... Ok wait, not true... I have ONE female friend who posts food photos... Also, she is a professional photog and 99% of the work she does is for food mags... And her photos are goddamn gorgeous works of art so not on the same level.

OF COURSE her name was Sweet Pea. Of course.

Yes! That is how my young horse plays. He and one of my other gelding have a ball but if you didn’t know anything you’d think they were a couple of fighting stallions. But their expressions and body language are clearly relaxed and non-aggressive. Now when my big chestnut exerts his authority (he’s the herd boss) you…

I’ve never understood why people think ponies are good for kids. I mean yeah, it’s because they’re small... But ponies are truly devil spawn. I’d MUCH rather teach a green as grass beginner kid on my average height, saintly QH than on just about any pony I’ve met.

So is your mare! I’m a huge sucker for chestnuts :D

Well of course she was the Pantene girl, she was a chestnut mare! You were just lucky she deemed you worthy of being in her presence :)

I don’t know if my mom saved my teeth... But I saved my dog’s tooth from when he was a puppy and I have three teeth from my baby horse...

You know what I hate? I’m so much bigger of a faker now than I was in my 20’s. I got a “good” job (and I do really like it about 95% of the time) but I have learned that what that means is that you feel pressured to fake it aaaaaaall the time. I HATED serving/bartending BUT all of the people I worked with were legit…
