It´s so amazing when someone is actually HEARING YOU, isn´t it?

Not this year, but my brother once gifted me with a cheap watch (in the plastic cube from Wal-mart). But hey, it was a simple, classy design and I liked that he had thought of me to buy it. When I thanked him for the gift, he said, 'Oh, yeah. I bought it for (my wife) but she didn´t want it, so I thought you might.'

I approve of this idea.

FLAWLESS use of the Nope-octopus gif. Well done, you.

Yeah, I hear ya, sister.

I agree. Most female celebrities, I think, are driven to speak in platitudes that encourage women to feel good (in the vaguest possible way to ensure maximum cultural saturation). This isn´t a bad thing, but there is a point at which the sentiment outpaces meaning.

LOL That´s so wrong.

My mother still lives in my childhood home, and my brother and I both had our own rooms there. So even if he had to move back in, there would still be space for me to have sex on my twin bed if I wanted to. (I do not.)

Dear GOD, I love you.

Drink tea with strong ginger to kill the germs in your throat, or just drink vodka. I did this once when I was losing my voice and miserable for days at work (Teacher + no voice to yell at kids with = O God why)

I came home and took big swigs of vodka until I felt better. After about half an hour, I was drunk…

Aww. I hope everything turns out all right for your kitty. Thinking of you. We just had a scare where last night where we heard a funny noise and I became convinced that the youngest (derpiest) kitty had fallen out the window (which is paranoia, definitely, but once the older cat had done this and it took a year off…

LOL Yeah, I could see that. I think parents should be a little (A LITTLE) embarrassing with their kids. The embarrassing stuff is usually how they show they care (which you realize later in life.)

Ditto on the cool mom, because she was the one you could say anything in front of (even cussing - gasp!). And she was a cool mom. For everyone else.

She's my age. My age, and she left behind a loving husband and a small child.

Me, too!

Yeah, it used to be a lot more interesting with pop documentaries about history and human sexuality, then there was a gradual shift to 'women´s programming' like home improvement shows that got more and more gimmicky over time, like Trading Spaces.

Yeah! I liked her. She´s got some sass, and she seems like a sexy lady. ... Naturally, the dude seems to have a conservative family. That, I think, is going to be the biggest problem rather than the deadline.

Fo' sho'. I was the opposite. I wanted to get out of the US, met a person online and chatted for 3 months with plans to visit, then loved both this guy and my new country so much I didn't want to leave.

That makes sense. I was wondering how it actually works ... magazines always tell you to track your ovulation and all the mechanics of the method, but they don't exactly spell out what that MEANS for you and your partner. Thanks!

Preach on, sister.
