1) I have to mildly defend lutefisk, not because it tastes good (it doesn't), but it is basically a famine food for a culture that had to figure out how to survive a million days of winter. People in the upper Midwest eat it in some weird declaration of their ethnic heritage, which could be celebrated with some other…

Ugh, that SUCKS. My little sister is a kidult. She AND her boyfriend, who are both in their 20s, live with my parents. They pay no rent or utilities or other expenses, and my parents' one request - that the boyfriend mows the lawn - goes unheeded. They have low-paying jobs (despite my sister's college degree, which by…

Sure!

I took my husband's name because my maiden name is super common, and his is awesome and unusual (I am currently the only person with my name in the country, as far as I can tell), and my kids will get to be in the front of the alphabetical line instead of the back. I really didn't get worked up about changing my name,…

That is a great quote.

Haha! That's at least kind of flattering? I guess? Please tell me what the quote was so I can feel even more smug when I see it popping up.

Of all the ridiculous nonsense on Pinterest, I get the most worked up by the obviously mis-attributed quotes.

I put on muscle easily (for a woman), and for a while I was terrified to work out my upper body. But once I started, I totally fell in love with my arm and shoulder muscles. You should give it a try - if you don't like it, stop working out the upper body and problem solved.

Hi friend! I'm a chunky lady who has always been fairly active, and for the past six months my ass has really been in gear. I feel awesome, I am seeing changes in my body, I sleep better, I eat better. Exercise is like a cure for everything. If I'm tired or upset I go to the gym and by the time I'm done, I feel…

I currently am bored of all my workout music so I am bookmarking this page - bless you.

We've lost 50%. Thankfully Mr. Luey is a temporary federal employee and will be returning to a non-federal position at the beginning of November. But this month is going to suck.

Yeah, I turned 18 two days before I started college - so arbitrary birth requirement for the win! Obviously the sign of a marriage built on love and respect.

I was done at 23 - started undergrad at 18, four years to a BA, another two for an MA. It's possible (even in the US) but obviously still douchey. I know in some places an MA only takes a year, though I don't know how it works in China.

Not me. In fact, my husband reacts so poorly to crying (he gets very cold and withdrawn) that I actually cry very infrequently now. Instead I've adapted to his negative emotion reaction - I get mad. Probably not healthy.

As the wife of an Italian American, who is an amazing guy - I can only said that I wholeheartedly agree with you. Way to send Italian stereotypes back into the stone age.

I hear you. I am not a picky eater, but I do not like the taste of bell peppers, watermelon, or cucumber. I just flat out don't like them. I have tried these things multiple times and I'm not going to die or throw up if I consume them, but they do not taste good to me - and all of them completely take over the flavor…

Yes. I know. As I've explained in responses to other commenters, it's just not that high up on my to-do list and I don't want to have to have the inside re-engraved.

I do have the intention to have it resized eventually, but it does have an engraving on the inside and I wasn't sure what the procedure would be. I guess it would have to be re-engraved?

I'm lazy. :) Honestly it wasn't that important to me until recently. I do intend to have it done.

GIRL. Keep your damn tongue in YOUR MOUTH.
