Oompas were the best peanut butter/chocolate candy evar. When I need to slum it I’ll go with MnM’s, but they are nowhere near as delicious. Not even in the same league.

I shall mentally file this piece-of-crap-parenting chair into the same mental file as the people who count down until their child stops doing something. Because letting a child know they can do something until you get to zero...excuse me...1... then 1/2, then 1/3, then 1/4, then 1/5...and then mayyyybe zero is such a…

My man-friend will eat anything, so he is expanding my palate. I will try anything he gives me knowing that you have to eat something 9-11 times before you really know if you like it or not (I read that once on the internet, so it has to be true).

Oh, I do. And my 15 year old daughter knows that if she doesn’t eat what I make she will go hungry. No raiding the fridge. Hell, I pulled out the “you aren’t leaving the table until you eat that one piece of asparagus that I gave you” last month. She used to try, and actually liked, most food (crab cakes, vegetables,…

“Dip” isn’t salsa, so my mind would totally not go there.

So...you are waiting to hear from Kris?

Lucky Charms was a gateway cereal to the best cereal evar...S’Mores Crunch.

My ex wore white socks under his black tux with black shoes at our wedding. That should have been a major “oh shit” moment for me, but I was otherwise preoccupied with the day and didn’t notice. My mother certainly did.

Of course they did. Exploiting a situation for ratings is what they do best.

Whoa. Thank you for this. I’m moving back into my house after an extensive remodel and I have hardly any furniture (out with the old, in with the new! Take that ex-husband!), so my tax return is going to be buying furniture and accent wall paint. This is brilliant!!

Ha! I just posted in a thread above the episode of Fred as the mailman trying to get rid of “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.”

I live in Portland and I can’t watch it because of this...

I had invasive surgery after a battery of tests because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I was in the hospital 5 nights. I had three surgeons. It did not cost 127k (more like 60k).

Failed IUD here as well! I should have burned that $800 for warmth. :-/

You are correct - and I had an oophrectomy previously to remove one ovary and the f-tubes, and during the hysterectomy she pulled the uterus and promised me she wouldn’t remove the other ovary (despite her female assistant telling her to take it because she was taking so long to clean those damn chocolate cysts off).

Is it possible for you to get the hysterectomy and leave at least one ovary? I’m 45 and had mine because of endometriosis, adenomyosis, and chocolate cysts on my ovaries, and the surgeon left me one ovary so that I would avoid menopause... I’ve never felt better.

This redefines the “Quiverfull” movement...

Same. Went from auburn to blue/purple/fuschia in one 6-hour sitting. Multiple bleaches took me from auburn to orange to yellow, then he toned me to blond. My hair is now dyed auburn again, but even months later the hair under all this dye is white and I have to dye it monthly to keep it from getting green undertones.

Oregonian here. Most of my seasonal staff are college students who have just headed back to school. None are at UCC, but my heart hurts for anyone who has to live with the fear that this might happen to them.
