We played music from the ‘20s-’40s and had a guy in a gorilla suit hand out wedding favors.

I’m so glad I didn’t read this before deciding to create a child. It would have scared me to death.

Not my parents, but worth mentioning, I think.

For many of us AC is a medical necessity. You’re speaking from a place of privilege. Most of my family runs hot and we’re prone to becoming sick from overheating. We keep our thermostat set in the mid to high 60s. To each his own, but you should realize you don't speak for everyone. AC was invented for a reason.

Mirena was horrible for me. It gave me excruciating back pain. My doctor said it would go away, but it didn't. After four months of hell I had it removed. The back pain went away immediately.

What is happening to Jezebel?!?!

I have two dogs. One is mostly a dog, though we love her a lot. The other is our child. It’s due to their personalities. My cockapoo is very doggish. She is of medium intelligence, filled with love, and kind of bumbling. Our chihuahua is super smart, really tuned in to us, easy to train, empathetic, fun... She behaves

:/ I liked it. I like that they’re making them for adults now. We grew up. It’s nice that they’ve grown up too. Also, I think they’re still sweet despite the more adult humor. Kermit’s a good person... You know what I mean? And I like that I have the capacity to care about the love life of a frog made of green felt.

I saw Josh Homme in a club in DC, but I couldn't think of his name. I was standing right next to him. I said "You're that guy... from that band..." He smiled and said "Who do you think I am? I'm not him. We gingers all look alike, you know." I believed him and said I was sorry. He smiled at me some more. I backed

I'm back. I thought of a few more... and I see that people are now telling their positive celebrity stories, so I will too.

In the late '90s I attended one of Henry Rollins' spoken word shows in Richmond, VA. I had heard that he sometimes would hang out with people afterwards, so I tried to think of something I could say to him if that should happen. I grew up close to where he did, so I thought I might use that if I ended up face to face

You are a strange from your parents because you don't have enough in common and because your mother encourages you to make a career out of things you enjoy? After all of the comments describing terrible emotional and physical abuse your comment makes you seem rather petty. Am I misunderstanding?

I'm so disgusted with men lately that I find myself victim blaming in my head, though I'd never actually leave a comment to that effect.

...But I like my loopholes. They mostly improve my life, I think. I feel that I'm pretty good at telling it like it is to myself on the larger matters though, so I think I'm okay. Can't it be that we're wired to offer ourselves rewards for being good? I mean, maybe it's only the people who use their loopholes to

This just makes me sad, to be honest. I don't want to see ANYONE grabbing their genitals. Ever. Never ever. I hate that the world has become a place in which this is considered acceptable behavior. Considered sexy, even. When I was a child and Michael Jackson started grabbing his penis as he danced I thought the

DC is all about Ethiopian food. I rarely see it when I'm out of town.

...But you MUST love dogs. I insist. How can you not. Stop it... Stop saying that right now. Dogs are wonderful.

NO! NO NO NO!!! ...NOOOOO!!!!

More than half of my friends have abandoned me since I became a caregiver. I'm no longer fun.
