For some reason I find tampons make me LESS crampy...

I’ve got an autistic son, and the incidents of him being treated like crap in public far outweigh the examples of people being kind and understanding. This story makes me so, so happy.

I CAN READ JEZEBEL AT WORK!!!!!

Late to the party this week but could use a little Jez support. My anxiety has been through the roof lately; I’m working too much, have to move in a week because my current apartment’s rent shot through the roof (last year it went up 5%; this year it went up 12%), and had a work trip planned that would have had me…

RICK SPRINGFIELD people!

I love Blues Brothers. I wish that I knew the movie better, but it is a work of art

I always hit the Wrap It Up Box Right when they kiss at the end.

O Brother, O yes!

Ahhhhhh, The Princess Bride. It is one of my favorites. I have a regular Trivia Night thing with some friends, and a question came up about that book this week. My teammates wanted to argue with me and I was all DO NOT QUESTION MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRINCESS BRIDE.

I have no shame in my game. Clueless and The Princess Bride. I know every. single. word. and will happily recite every and all lines much to my friends and family’s dismay.

I feel like this comment is in English, but none of the words make sense to me because I live east of the Mississippi and am an adult.

This makes so much sense. As much as I love Clark Gable movies, I never could understand how Loretta Young consented to sex before marriage. So when the story came out it always seemed like there might be something more. She was always a strict Roman Catholic, and nothing I ever read about her indicated that she was…

Definitely recommend reading the whole article on Buzzfeed. I had a comment exchange with the DIL, Linda. She seems very sincere and lovely.

Ok, here’s my junior prom story. It was 1999 and I didn’t have a boyfriend at the time. I was a band nerd and hung out with mostly other band nerds. One of the trumpet players asked me to go to prom and he was a senior and mildly attractive so I was pretty thrilled. I bought a dress at Ross because we were always…

i didn’t go to prom, and I’m beginning to think that I didn’t miss anything?

I’m mostly astonished by two things a) at how the price has skyrocked over the last decade or so and b) dress length.
