I also married someone who is my height (5'9"). It was always a dealbreaker to me and I dated enough guys who lied about how tall they were that it was my number 1 rule (followed by no blonde hair and can’t drive a Miata or a Neon). But when I met my husband it didn’t matter. I mean, there are days and times when I…

Eyebrow piercings and any lip piercing. It’s not 2006, we can all stop now. I dated someone who really, really, really wanted a snakebite piercing and to be honest, it ended up looking stupid as hell on him. He got it around 2008 and STILL has it. It still looks dumb. 

Read the rest of that sentence. Flushable APPLICATOR. The cardboard applicator can be flushed with presumably no issue. The tampon is another story. If you haven’t clogged the plumbing yet, fantastic, but it’ll happen.

Butt chins are where he stores his lies.

This is exactly my situation!! I can’t sleep with with my husband touching me, and he’s big on cuddling, and he needs silence and I love my “weird” (his words) white noise machine. Don’t even get me started on his preference for having our dogs on the bed to “keep us warm”. He used to have a job that kept him out of…

I subscribed to Allure for probably close to 10 years because I love all things beauty. Every issue was beautifully shot and I loved Linda’s voice throughout. I can’t count the things I learned from Allure from the time I was about 16 onward!! But about 5 years ago, I cancelled my subscription because the magazine had…

The reason that button nosed Joe keeps winning every confrontation is because no one has flat out said that he never had feelings for Juelia (or a connection in Bachelor speak),he faked a good game and he is a lying liar that lies. And no one has asked him why he answers every question or accusation with a question of…

I was this wedding attendee once. I didn’t think my friend should be marrying this man (he was manipulative, made her miserable and was ultimately physically abusive to her) so I was going to drive 3 hours to this wedding and pay for an expensive hotel room but I was not wasting my money on a gift for a marriage I…

I used to share a single washroom with 3 men. This washroom was accessible by using one of 2 keys to unlock it and then using a slide lock on the inside so that no one could walk in on you. This whole arrangement was pretty much the worst. People would forget to lock the inside so more than once I unlocked the door to…

No, fuck no, with a side of fuck no. And I’ll supersize that fuck no. Extra fuck no sauce.

I would’ve hoped that the shame she would feel by facing someone with her newborn she wanted to give up would’ve been very, very small in comparison to the feeling of knowing she is doing right by this child and by herself. This shatters my heart to know that she felt so helpless and alone and shamed that this was her…

I just assumed soya sauce was what the rest of the world called it too! Mmmmm China Lily is the saltiest food ever. Now I call it soy sauce so people don’t shame me with my hillbilly Alberta words.

I grew up calling it soya sauce because that was literally what was printed on this bottle. I grew up a poor and very sheltered Canadian prairie girl.

I’m planning on taking my husband’s last name only because his is extremely easy to spell. Mine is not prounounced how it’s spelled (or spelled how it’s pronounced, however you want to look at it) and we gave our daughter his last name. I’m so damn tired of spelling it out or having people think it starts with a K…

I did 2 years there, and honestly, I loved it!! But sweet saintly jebus the bad people were appalling and the nice people got free drinks as fast as I could make them.

Hahaha “barista fantasy camp”! I feel like you and I could exchange very good Starbucks stories.

I had people ask me for the bag, too. They’d see you filling up the squeeze bottles and ask for the remainder. Half-joking. Ok, not joking. They’d cut you for a slug-bag.

This story could’ve happened at my old Starbucks, it sounded so familiar. Anyone who has worked at Starbucks has met a caramel fiend. They are the same every where- always leaning over the counter and hissing about more caramel. And they always have a creepy gleam in their eyes. I remember taking the top off the…

Oh my sweet denim Jebus I hate the “gimme the....” people. I’m nearly excessive with my politeness because I remember how much that meant to me when I was a server. Someone being flippant or demanding can ruin the shift and a well placed thank you can soothe that.

Your dress is giving me the vapors! You look lovely and so glad to hear there was a bright spot in your day!
