THANK YOU! After all the stories I've been hearing lately about idiot teachers, I'd been worrying that no other credential programs had been giving their teachers "the talk." We were told never to give students rides in our cars, friend them on Facebook, or give them any of our home/cell numbers. One day after…

NEVER ASK. Period. Let them bring it up. Sometimes you think, "Oh, there is no way they aren't pregnant," but then you could make the same embarrassing mistake my mother did. She congratulated a woman on her pregnancy and placed her hand on the woman's stomach (another thing you should never do), and her hand…

EXACTLY! Why is no one talking about that amazing necklace?

You are amazing.

I was born by sperm donation, and my parents were never planning on telling me. This couple obviously couldn't have pulled that move, but many couples choose to keep this type of thing a secret. Imagine how bad the fallout would have been in a situation like that. This place deserved to be sued for their…

So this is pretty much the best opportunity I'm going to get to tell my favorite BYU story ever. Most of BYU's exams take place in the testing center. If you are out of dress code or have a beard, they won't let you in. Skirts and dresses used to be required attire for women, but as styles changed and more women…

We soaked cloth strips in lighter fluid, wrapped them around a soccer ball, and played "Flaming Soccer." It was really fun until one of the strips came loose and wrapped itself around my friend's bare leg. He was fine, but we stopped after that.

If you're still pregnant, try taking Colace AT NIGHT. Three a day relieved my pregnancy constipation, but when I took them during the day I felt ill and had to lie down.

Check out Lauren's Latest or Budget Bytes. I've had lots of success with both.

Dooooooo it! You would be my fashion icon. (I am really unfashionable.)

When I was a senior in high school, I enrolled in a program that allowed me to attend community college classes for free. This led to lots of interesting experiences, as the kids in the program were all super high-achieving nerds, and they didn't always fit in with the normal student body. Most of the college students…

I grew up in Spokane, and we always went to Silverwood for our roller coaster fix. I'm not sure if it would compare to what you are used to, but it is something. http://www.silverwoodthemepark.com/

Yes. He also begged for "Divorce Sex." He was quite a guy.

This reminds me of the time my sister's gross ex-husband kept harassing her to send him nude photos. One text asked for a picture of her "muffin," so she sent him a shot of the breakfast pastry. When he didn't get the hint, she threatened to tell his new wife about his behavior, and the texts stopped.

I've got a good one. My husband signed up for a Google voice phone number to help him rent out some construction equipment. He kept getting all of these weird texts, and when people called him, they sounded really surprised and hung up immediately. He did some hilarious catfishing to one of the texters in order to…

Technically this was Homecoming, but I'll share anyway. My senior year I decided to take community college courses, so I was only present at my high school for two classes a day. I was worried that not being around would cause people to forget about me, causing me to miss out on dances and such. I was hanging out with…

You'll have to tell me how that pairs with sauerkraut.

It's so easy to make your own! Use this recipe, replace Xagave with honey, and use two cups of rice flour instead or "freshly ground rice." You can use them for sandwich bread or as actual waffles. They freeze well, too. I'm not even gluten free and I'll gladly eat these. https://www.chefbrad.com/recipes/detail…

Is this real life? Did this gif really happen? Also, I pretty much say, "Thanks, Obama!" in my head after everything. It makes life so much more fun for some reason.

This story brought back an incident shared with me by one of my students. He came out to his parents and his father threw him out of the house. The next day, they found him wandering around the streets a few cities away. Unrelated, but he got into fashion school and told his dad that he was going to some pre-med…
