LIES. MAYO IS PROOF GOD LOVES US.

If unions exist in the area where I currently live, I am unaware of them.

I'm presently part of a "two-body" problem, and am the extra body. We're working on it, but if things don't improve, I'll likely try to transition into specializing in students like the ones that started this conversation. I really enjoyed making…

Teenagers are assholes. The state doesn't want them either.

NEVER use someone else's antibiotics. That is not only foolish from the standpoint of your own health but also constitutes antibiotic misuse/abuse and contributes to the worldwide population of resistant bacteria species. For the sake of our species, please never do that again. The overwhelming majority of sinus…

Yeah, I figured as much when I saw the words college professor. In my dreams. My reality was $500/credit. I was teaching three credits and working at the mall to pay the rest of the bills.

They eventually bumped me up to six credits a semester. The last semester I lived in that state, I was teaching 19 credits across…

I find it very weird that you're getting attacked for this empathetic observation and good storytelling, which also anecdotally supports the conclusions of the Brookings Institute and of the piece here.

Because no one WANTS to address, sexism, racism, poverty and, most important in this scenario, sex education, at least in any real way. Slap on a bandaid and get on with the important business of making sure obscenely wealthy people who aren't adopt the babies (although, to be fair, they MIGHT make a one-time…

I am in a listicle mood today, so:

These are really cute, and the way the proportions work make a very useful illustration of how to dress a larger figure! Nicely done. I enjoyed the writing, too!

I went to the E.R. a year ago because I just felt "weird". My heart was beating a bit fast and I felt...no other way to say it....weird. I thought for sure I was being an idiot. Or that maybe they might say it was a panic attack. I almost talked myself out of going.

It was not totally screwed buuut... the priest and the dj

The absolute cutest thing at my wedding are the pictures I have of my ring bearer. He is playing with a toy car in the dirt at our feet while we said our vows. They are my absolute favorite pictures.

Everything which is not forbidden is allowed

My wedding is in 18 days - I figure if we both show up, the officiant shows up & the venue doesn't burn down, we're good.

I was supposed to have a fancy NYE wedding. A few months before my planned wedding (church reserved, venue deposit paid, dress bought, word of mouth told friends and family to save the date, etc.), my mother disowned my sister, who is my bff, for having a black (or n-word) boyfriend and refused to allow my sister and…

Your wedding isn't ruined! Your wedding is going to be AWESOME. And you'll appreciate it more than 99% of brides. Wishing you all the best.

THIS WAS SUCH A POLITE AND INFO FILLED EXCHANGE!!!!

I ruined my own (first) wedding. I said "I do".

Thank you! I woke up one day and realized: you know, it can be a metric shit-ton better than this. So I stopped going to couples' therapy, told the ex there was no chance of reconciliation if he was still fucking that little turd, and terminated the lease of the house I could no longer afford, which I was keeping only…

I'm not convinced by the "I made it through my bad home life without lashing out, so everyone else should have equally good coping skills" argument. It sounds a heck of a lot like "Bootstraps!"

If one believes (as I do) that there's no such thing as a bad kid, then the natural corollary is that kids who are behaving…
