Not to tell you how to do your parenting job, but have you considered/heard of autism service dogs that are trained in nose work? I knew a dog who in addition to being a friend for his autistic boy, was also able to follow his boy's scent trail if he wandered off. Of course I have no idea how much the dog cost or…

Thank you so much. This is honestly going to change my life. (I also feel super embarrassed for not knowing this existed, but I'm happily accepting the embarrassment in order to never hear from this dude again.)

I know a woman who had her mother refinance her house to pay for her wedding. If, as a gay dude, I am lucky to get married in the state I live in, I really wanna just do the courthouse thing and a big party ten years down the road. Obviously some people want big weddings and that's great but crippling wedding debt is…

We eloped. Friends and relatives were upset and disappointed but they all got over it. The marriage is about only the two of you. The wedding day shouldn't put you into debt. That can't be the best way to start a marriage.

I hear a lot of couples sacrificing what they really want in a wedding to make others happy. I am sorry, but I just don't understand that. If your family is manipulating your emotions to make you feel like you have to have a 200 person wedding with all the bling when all you want to do is go to the courthouse or elope…

It ended up being a pointless lesson because I'm gonna die a spinster. But it was a good lesson to watch a childhood friend marry at 18 in a huge, fancy wedding with something like ten bridesmaids, lavish reception, and Yucatan honeymoon. Then they came home to live in her parents' garage and were divorced before they…

Elephants return to their dead kin's bones on a regular basis to mourn and remember.

Ask any parent who's lost a child when the mourning ceases, and they will tell you "never". This is just heartless.

Wouldn't that be the only natural thing about her? No?

I'm being nice, compared to how I was raised. If my grandma told me to put shoes away, I'd be expected to just get up and do it before she even finished her sentence... I'm allowing them to wait for a commercial break on their tv show!

I wouldn't either, but as my mom was severely abusive, it is not like I'm gonna do what she did...

This. They probably tried to opt out long before they ended up on the couch this morning, but she harangued herself right into a live, embarrassing display of "Go fuck yourself, Mom."

Jimmy Fallon, is that you?

I felt exactly the same way when Flavor of Love was on. If my options as a single hetero lady is to COMPETE for the affections of flava flave then fuck it I like to knit and I can take pills for my cat allergies. Dying alone and being eaten by my cats seems like an elegant choice in comparison to marrying and breeding…

Here's how I'm looking at it.

Well, on a side note, it also is why Amy Chua can fuck herself with her cultural superiority bullshit. B/c I'm like, look bish, my people came her in chains and are actually part of the reason why you have a platform to spew your biogtry and stereotypes.

Orange Tabby Is the New Black.

My therapist does this to me when she's proud of me. Seriously.

I like the "once a bitch always a bitch." Do they not know that's a COMPLIMENT?

Eating disorder treatment programs prefer to have the family involved in the recovery process because it affects everyone within the family system. I think what this article is trying to report is that Kesha wants her mom to come to Timberline Knolls to participate in on-site family therapy sessions. I'm not entirely…
