To be honest, I saw the whole thing as a dark comedy.

It REALLY depends on the situation. My "best" friend introduced me to my now fiance during a night out. From the moment I told her I developed feelings for him she was bitter and resentful. Before you say anything—she did not like him in that way and she was already juggling three guys at the same time. We dated for 3…

A stick of Secret Deodorant (Shower Fresh, I think, but it was 10 years ago), is the only thing I've ever stolen in my entire life, but I was THAT level of poor back when I was 20, and had a job interview that afternoon, while also trying to take care of my newborn baby. EBT doesn't cover it and if you want TANF cash…

Well, she seems like a peach. A fresh, organic peach not canned or in light syrup or in a pie, naturally because that's just a luxury.

My mom smoked during my delivery, which took 32 hours, and I'm fine. *twitch*

Everyone did not used to drink and smoke, you know that, right? Maybe they didn't warn against it for pregnancy, but there were LARGE swaths of the population who viewed those things as sinful and decadent and abstained.

I think this has to be in the top 10 most traumatic things that can happen to you. I'm assuming that anyone who wasn't aware that they were pregnant obviously wasn't trying to get pregnant, so on top of going into labour with absolutely no preparation, they have the total mindfuck of now having another life completely…

That show is scarier than any horror movie. (except Eraserhead which is also about surprise babies and thus also terrifying)

I think there are a LOT of people like this guy. We just never hear about them unless something this big happens. But people reach out and help each other in so many different ways, every day.

Oh gawwwd I need this now. I have spent the past seven years living and kind of accidentally settling down in a foreign country and I'm about to leave my nice apartment, chuck most of my possessions, quit my job, give up my ability to save half of my salary, and move to yet another foreign country and start from zero…

The problem with choice is that it can be crippling. I once spent 20 minutes trying to pick the best toilet paper at target.

Well, it's only Amish sharks that never get cancer.

Meet Zelda, the new addition to the Tejón family. She is a perpetual-motion joy machine and I am in love with her!

I lived in Asia including China for a couple of years and my husband is Taiwanese, so I've been eating the real stuff for a long time. (Chinese men tend to be the cooks of the house so I'm really spoiled) Here's what crazy is that the real food you had was most likely adapted for your family. I only get the…

Marilyn made those hardcore resolutions and look how she ended up. We can't go wrong with our resolutions.

I like to make him feel important. Because women be emasculating harpies, dontcha know.

You seem fun.

Maria Bamford is a hero for the venn diagram of women and all people struggling with mental health issues.

Part of enjoying sex is unlearning years of shame you are taught to feel about your body and your genitals. I had read this piece one by a bisexual man who said when asked what's the major difference between sleeping with women and sleeping with men and other than the obvious he said that women constantly apologize…

You are right, give them the good brandy or go home.
