@Bjork erupts: It was a joke.

@foodandshoes: The comment was intended to be satirical.

This is very sad/scary/creepy. I wish people were allowed to be happy as-is.

Technically fraternal twins can have different fathers. Just sayin.

@greydove: Yes, but this story is clearly news!

I wore glasses from kindergarten through senior year in high school when I (finally) got on the contact lens bandwagon. I think I started wearing them all the time in first grade, and soon couldn't see anything without them. And let me tell you that those glasses don't work (even with child-size glasses) if you wear…

My friends all referred to my HS boyfriend as "Speed Racer" and not cause he drove a fast car. LOL good times...

@LostTurntable: Yes, agreed. (with telling the truth but not the whole truth)

I guess I'm pretty well-adjusted to my parents' divorce, although it happened when I was like three and I don't ever remember them being together. But I appreciate honesty and telling children what is going on in an age-appropriate way. There's no reason to air your dirty laundry but there's no reason to keep secrets.…

@boxspelunker: Well, that seems like a stupid law (imo) but I can kind of see the idea behind it. At least they allow for trans folk to use the restrooms of their choice! I have heard some horrible stories from trans friends re: the restroom choice issue.

@firefoxx66: You're never supposed to flush applicators, but you can (usually) flush the tampon itself.

Really just an excuse to post adorable kitty stories in the comments. Yay :)

Mark Ruffalo? More like Mark Buffalo!

Upon returning from the restroom after waiting in a long line, does any one else feel compelled to make sure everyone at the table knows you were not going #2? Heh

@Dames: I have never emptied my Diva Cup in a public restroom. And I've been using it for years. Brilliant!

@anteup lost her pizazz: Right?? Sit on the damn seat! You aren't gonna get anything from doing it, and you won't pee on the seat if you do it! Gah!

@ManicPixieNightmare: That's how it was when I was in Costa Rica for a month. And I can't flush tampons at my parents' house. You get used to it.

The thing I hate most is when there are single-stall restrooms that are labeled as either men or women. Why not label them as men and women? Especially since only one person can go in at a time. This drives me nuts! And while women are always waiting in like for the "women" one, the "men" one is always vacant. So.…

I feel like, at this point, there is probably nothing that these girls can do, especially after reading some of the comments (see: @AcademiaNut and @whiskeyshoes). I wish they had called CPS when this was happening to them. I don't know how something like this would be handled by CPS (especially in the '70s) but I…

@msmoneypenny: Seconded.
