I used to think the same thing until I started reading about how easy it is to buy a gun. There are even websites that let you skip a background check for an extra two hundred dollars. It led to a stalker acquiring a gun- and he shot the woman who had a restraining order on him. In a parking lot. Eleven times. …

A lot of us sit in our homes, envy you, and cry into our ice cream. But we're working on it, damnit! Maybe two hundred years from now all the countries will be a bit more like the Netherlands...or any other country that is just as awesome. ( I just have a lot of Netherlands envy lately).

Hilarious!

No, you're not horrible! My husband and I do an imitation of this guy when stuff upsets us and we want to laugh instead of cry.

I think her emotions are firmly in place. She has basically had her entire head reconstructed from the inside, so I can safely assume the half smile she gave toward the end was a sign of wonderful things to come! Thank you, modern medicine!

I eat dinner around six thirty pm, and don't eat breakfast until about eleven o clock in the morning. Maybe that's some sort of…

I'm confused by her too- about to turn thirty five, and found myself envying the old man asleep in his car in the grocery store parking lot...

Be sure to report it to the GunDeaths twitter-feed. They're trying to raise awareness since so many shootings go unreported.

I'd love to get pregnant before I turn thirty five in March :)

She-Ra was amazing! Cyndi was a big reason for a lot of women our age to rethink what we really wanted... When the Goonies went on their adventure, my sister and I were dying to do something similar! Screw that pink princess crap!

Thank you for this article!

A male ex- friend of mine became a nurse in the E.R.- for months all he could talk about was how he gets to see gorgeous boobs all the time and get paid for it. And he said all of this in front of his wife.

Ditto! Ditto!

Fucking brilliant!
