I read this around the time I was learning about bondage and when they pulled out the metal handcuffs I just squealed “noooooooo!” because I knew that shit was going bad.

Yep. My uncle is about 70 and his strawberry blond isn’t so much graying as fading. I think he could pretty easily color it just about any way he wanted.

When I got my first cat as a kid I was solely responsible for scooping her box every single morning, first thing. I was in preschool. We got cats when my daughter was 7 and she’s been responsible for an even share of litter cleaning ever since. It’s. Not. Hard.

Yeah, that struck me as outright scary.

You are absolutely correct. There are acceptable risks we all take (driving etc), and there are risks there’s no reason to accept. When there’s another able body available to do things that may have disastrous consequences to you and not them, they should be doing those things. Like cleaning a fucking litter box for…

Ohhhhh yes. Mine is 17 and when she isn’t leaving household items in odd places she’s borrowing our stuff while only sometimes remembering to ask first. We get annoyed, sure, but no one has ever raised their voice about it. I have chronic migraines, sometimes I’m incapacitated and you’d best bet my husband steps up.…

I don’t want to pile on this lady, but I just gotta say: if asking her husband to clean the litter box while she’s freaking pregnant elicits anything other than “of course dear”, let alone a fight, then there are problems. She can’t do it, it needs to be done, he’s the only other person available. This does not bode…

Mickey, our 50lb rescue mix, so happy about the new throw pillows on the couch.

She also co-owns the beautiful and dog-friendly Cypress Inn in Carmel California. My parents travel up the coast with their gigantic golden retriever every summer, and it’s their favorite place to stay.

This is perfectly on point.

So the artists could make their statement without pit bulls and not perpetuate negative stereotypes about a breed that is already demonized and severely misunderstood.

My mom and daughter had a blowout over this several months ago. My daughter (then 16) really wanted a job but hadn’t been able to even get an interview in months of looking. My mom told her to put on a nice outfit and go start pounding pavement because employers like an in-person approach. My mom hasn’t had to look…

That sucks, I’m sorry. It’s really not an ok thing. At least my cousin was just a kid not understanding boundaries, and he honestly felt bad once it was spelled out. My BIL learned this lesson when he tried the same crap on my daughter. Before I could even open my mouth to tell him to stop, she pulled her leg up…

My older cousin used to pin me down on the floor and tickle me until I literally couldn’t breathe, completely ignoring my earnest pleas for him to stop. My mom caught him doing it one day and let loose on him. She was NOT having his “it’s just a joke” and told him both people involved need to find a thing funny for it…

My mom was on prednisone for a while when I was a kid. I loved laying my head on her like a marshmallow pillow and was sad when she went off it because she wasn’t all soft anymore.

She is super weird in a lot of ways. I don’t feel any less born because I got cut out, and I’m pretty sure my daughter doesn’t either.

I was born by emergency c-section, as was my daughter, and I’m certainly not coming for you :) My MIL (who home birthed five kids) pities me because I didn’t “get to give birth”. There was a fetus inside me, then there was a baby outside me: I call that birth. On the other hand, I know women who had planned c-sections…

Uugghhh, my uncle’s friend went into remission after treatment, but faster than her docs anticipated. Obviously it was because she prayed and had deep faith in her lord and savior so he took the cancer from her body. Not the team of medical professionals treating her with the best science available.

Families who struggle but don’t quite qualify for assistance (my mom and me growing up) aside; yes, even with assistance available there are children who go hungry. There are children from families who receive financial assistance, but the amount they receive is not enough to adequately feed the family. There are…

Three women on my friends list are ensnared in Younique makeup sales and I am so damn sick of the selfies. One posts multiple pics of different “looks” throughout the day. Not only is it obnoxious, she’s also just not a very good makeup artist. Her 3-5 way-too-close selfies a day look like before pics on a makeover…
