I clearly payed close attention and have excellent reading comprehension tonight :)

LOL. I don't know what even. I can't. What? The internet is weird.

Prairie dogs are ground squirrels. So are woodchucks and marmots and chipmunks. I don't know what kind of ground squirrel that one is, though. Just that he's one of the unfortunate squirrels that has no bushy tail and no redeeming cute fur patterns/chubbiness.

He's a ground squirrel. They live in burrows, bushy tail would be a hazard/not needed for tree acrobatic balance.

Someone slice that tomato for that poor thing! Bless its little heart.

I work in an At-Will state as well. The At-Will employment law really has workers by the balls. Yes, I can quit with no notice at anytime but I stand to lose much more than an employer who fires me for no reason does. It's harder to get work if you are unemployed, it's hard to get past even an online screen that…

Kumail already warned us about that death trap.

You don't have to date her. That's the entire point. She can decide that she wants to receive but never give oral and the other part of the relationship can decide that he is either cool with that or not. Her reasons for not giving and only receiving are immaterial. She has the right to decide what she wants out of…

Yes, all of that, too.

I mean... Don't all couples agree to what they will or won't do at some point? Doesn't everyone have some kind of sex they don't like? You either agree to go without that or end the relationship if you can't. I thought that was called being a grown up. You don't always get everything you want so you either decide…

Somebody's fetish.

My two housebeasts gave zero shits about the kitten noises beyond side eyeing me hard for my enraptured cooing.

I came home to a flooded basement (after fixing my car last week and some roof repair two weeks before plus my baby is due in about two weeks....)

My cat just lovingly crawled up on my lap, purred, and took a big chomp on my arm. I subsequently felt guilty for pushing her off me in retaliation.

Now that I'm older and struggling to actually talk in therapy instead of playing my expected role of pulled-together, cheerful Southern woman it really feels like abuse. At the time I obviously didn't know anything else and I knew of a lot of friends who had more visibly abusive parents. I was always told that my…

I've only just recently realized how much I've internalized the idea that my feelings are Not To Be Trusted. The amount of time I spend feeling guilty for not having the "correct" emotions is just unimaginable. It's socialized into women from early childhood. I heard it from my otherwise nurturing parents - "Stop…

Wish I could just walk away from my job without consequence when I get stressed.

Reminds me of this place http://sofakingjuicyburger.com/ in Chattanooga, TN. It also caused quite the hubbub and whining (though without any linguistic doubt involved).

So now we have to pretend that unhealthy foods don't contribute to weight gain in any way lest we upset the fat acceptance activists? Got it.

Gwenneth seems so genuinely nice I actually kind of hate making fun of her naivete. But, for srs Gwennie, no one believe you are in any way connected to the "common woman" much less in a position to offer life advice. Most of us don't have time for simple self care much less the resources for luxurious, expensive…
