I’ve been grey for years, ever since I lost my star in the kinda purge and never made it back out except on Millihelen and The Vane, both of which I miss dearly. I think some of us are just meant to be eternal bridesmaids.

Me too. I was starred back in the day and never made it out of the greys once we all got demoted, save for on Millihelen. I've sort of given up hope at this point.

Non fruiting pear!!

My town JUST got jazzercise. It's a big deal.

Oh gosh, I haven’ thought about that book in ages, it IS a good read. It always makes me want to watch David Macauley videos.

We should all be so lucky as to be that kind of independently wealthy.

I’m 36 driving a 2006 scion xa. The little bastard has been hit and rebuilt 3 times and keeps rocking on.

Haha, that rocks. Barbies were viewed in my house as being a waste of money, so I didn’t have any but I had a lot of legos and lincoln logs and they were pretty cool.

The only one I actually owned was Lady Jaye. One of the boys let me borrow Scarlett. For whatever reason I was discouraged from playing with “boys” toys and the boys and had things like needlepoint shoved on me, which for sure made me a better bookbinder, but it sucked at the time.

I felt the same way when playing with GI Joe. I was only allowed to have girl characters, which means it was me, Lady Jaye and Scarlett against the world.

I can’t read Elon Musk and not immediately equate it as the name of a cheap cologne high school boys bathe in, like drakkar noir.

Mine is too. I’m fanatical about wearing my seatbelt and making everyone else in the car wear one before the car moves an inch. It had its purpose.

She should just do it. I am the childless one in my group of friends and over the years have spent countless hours at weird times pacing with my friends screaming children while my friends went for a walk or slept or did something else. On other occasions, I had a friend crashing in my bed, and later my fancy guest…

My mom had us in her early 40's. She went through menopause when I was a teenager, which was a picnic for no one in a 20 mile radius. Now I’m entering my late 30's and she’s in her mid 70's and I feel like the parent of a petulant teenager in declining health. I love her and I’m glad that she’s around, but at the same…

I don’t know where in the world you are from, but some of your slang is stuff I’ve never heard and it’s just fucking killing me, and I seriously needed it tonight. Thanks.

Me too! It was my college boyfriend and I didn’t mean to and he was so crestfallen. I still feel sort of bad about it.

That’s why if they were honest to god experienced hikers they would have packed a map and compass. It’s a pain in the ass skill to learn, but it will save your life.

When I was a kid, I opened all the drawers on my dresser made probably in the 60's and it flipped over on me. Once she extracted me, my mother told me not to be such a damn moron again. I think it’s always been a thing with dressers that aren’t weighted at the bottom with something like a cedar chest, people are just…

My grandmother started to have trouble swallowing and my understanding was that her brain just wasn’t doing things in the right sequence. It only took a couple of times for her to aspirate and she died very quickly from pneumonia.

My grandmother and her brother both died from complications of it within three months of each other in 2008. She was diagnosed when I was in college, and by the time I graduated, she was mentally gone. She was never totally sure of who I was; me, my mother as a young girl, or some stranger. I know it’s stupid and…
