Well, as a Corgi lover, I shall raise a fuss the next time I hear that the Golden Retriever group plans to march in any parade that is not specifically designated as a Golden Retriever pride parade. They can march in the parade all they want, as long as they aren't announcing to the world that they love a different…

I was at a St. Patrick's Day parade yesterday and there was a Golden Retriever group marching in the parade. Were they rubbing their love of a particular dog breed in the faces of those who love other dog breeds?

Just like all of the straight Irish people rub their non-gayness in people's faces when they march in parades, right?

Ugh, bridezillas are the worst :/ I can't believe she didn't even throw in a thank you!

I grew up an hour north of Chapel Hill (and am currently making an extended visit to the other side of the Triangle) - I recommend it! I have so many fond memories of shows at Cat's Cradle and meandering around Franklin St. It's ideally located - a couple hours to the beach or the mountains - and it's one of the few…

Ben Folds has a knack for depressing/heartfelt/makes you cry songs: Landed (maybe that's just me because of random ex-boyfriend situations), Gracie, The Luckiest, this song...probably others I can't remember the names of. Not to mention the depressing-ness of Brick.

Yes! She gets a lot of play during the "old-school lunch" segment on a local radio station and I'm shocked at how many of her songs I find myself singing along to.

Internet hugs for your loss! My corgi turns 3 this month and I just can't imagine him getting old and being gone :( I hope your new pups bring you lots of joy!

Sigh. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, too. I just went to church with my mom last Sunday while visiting my hometown. The pastor was preaching about how we are in the end times and the rapture will happen any second now...just like he did when I attended the church (because I was forced to) nearly 15 years ago.…

Holy shit! That is so bizarre and sad.

Dear sweet Jesus...that looks and sounds amazing!

Oddly enough, the cafeteria at the American History Museum is pretty decent.

My two dads (ahem, my dad and his live-in "best friend" of 10+ years) in small-town SoVa thank you.

It's rare that I can be proud of my home state. I was expecting this to easily take decades. Fuck yeah, Virginia!

How is this possible?! There must be a story behind it.

Hey, there are worse things than living in Tacoma - you could live in Lakewood.

I would watch the shit out of a Royal Corgi reality show. I legitimately squealed in delight when those two showed up in the London opening ceremonies. I'm sure the rest of the gang would be superstars in no time!

Yeah, as much as people bitch and moan about Tricare, we are exceptionally lucky when it comes to the cost (or lack thereof) of maternity care, childbirth, NICU, and all baby doctor visits. Knowing how much my best friend paid after insurance for all of that (minus NICU), the costs are mind-blowing.

Crockpots are wondrous! It isn't an old person tool, it's a lazy person tool - a super lazy person tool if you make freezer crockpot meals! Pinterest is my best friend when it comes to crockpot cooking. Here are two of my regulars: http://lakelurecottagekitchen.com/2011/08/30/cro…

All of the neighbors that show up as options for me are completely boring and unimaginative - "Home-C82, CenturyLink, JonesWeb...ours is PoopNet. Not the most clever name, but my husband has a thing for toilet humor.
