I have the most generic, boring first name paired with a generic, boring last name. My advice to parents: look at the most popular names for the last few years, and for the love of all that is good, DO NOT GIVE THOSE NAMES TO YOUR KID. I’ve always been one of about 5 women with the same name in every class I’ve ever…

I’ll wait 7 or 8 years before his book “Doing Nothing: How I Learned the Priceless Art of Relaxation After I Had to Spend 2 Years in Bed Due to a Mysterious Chronic Illness.”

I struggle with a few different crippling anxiety disorders and they have colored every aspect of my life. One of my most notable meltdowns was as an elementary school aged kid at a Girl Scouts retreat. I don’t know what set me off but I just had a meltdown. (A massive panic attack though I didn’t know it at the…

Ha! My stepmom also told me never to do acid, because she did it one time and went hiking and woke up with mysterious bruises EVERYWHERE. I did not listen to her advice, but I’m glad I didnt cuz acid is THE BEST

My MUM.

That’s an “and that’s why you always leave a note!” style lesson!

I was about 12 when I’d decided I was going to be a Paleontologist (I’m not, btw, but that’s not the point.)

She nearly bled to death having me.

My mother was widowed very suddenly and all-too-young but to her credit, she regained her impish side within the year. One fine day, she was in the local supermarket when she ran into one of the town’s nosiest and pettiest gossips who wasted no time in getting straight to the point, asking: so, what have you been…

My mom has so much mom in her heart that she couldn’t give it all to the two independent, happy, well-adjusted girls she raised. So she became a surrogate mom to anyone out there who needed a little more mom in their life. The best was when my sister came out while attending a small college in the South and started…

So many good ones but the one that I love the most is this convo.

My mom is a spitfire. She’s a tiny, fierce, mean, Irish lady. She had 6 kids in 6 1/2 years. I have a ton of great stories about her, like the time she bought a huge crystal chandelier at an estate sale several hours from our home. Lacking anything to wrap it in for the ride home, she stripped down to bra and panties,…

My mom is adorably clueless, and like a tiny sprite of a human being. She also dresses kind of masculine, has a pixie cut and is full of tattoos. So bearing that in mind, once my family was on vacation in Vegas. One of the days we were there, we signed up for a tour of Red Rock Canyon. Our tour guide was awful for…

My mom is a transplanted Midwestern lady living in a small island town in south Texas. There are a lot of great stories I could tell about her (she was briefly Mormon because the only church within walking distance of her family’s farm was a Mormon temple and then she got a scholarship to BYU and, as she likes to tell…

So my mom died when I was 6 from cancer. At my kindergarten “graduation” I was getting a special citizenship award and was really excited about it. The evening of the ceremony, I remeber my mom laying on the couch obviously in a ton of pain. I, being 6, was oblivious and demanded she get ready for my graduation. She…

After a particularly horrific breakup my mother was my rock. We were very close. One afternoon my emotionally abusive ex was a lunch with a date. I wasn’t at the restaurant but my mother and her friends were.

Wait what, super chilled out dude? Those were literally ALL post breakup stories. Was he confusing the winners from the previous week’s pissing contest for the current week’s topic? I am not super chill, ever, and I am also confused now.

Is Shia watching the L Word? Sweet

Re-read. They are merely informing us that there are constituents which are evangelicals, and those people get all bent out of shape. It’s up to you, the commenter to mock those constituents.

Mine too. He claims anatomically that its uncomfortable. But when I had him do it, he said it was because he had to use his thigh muscles to keep his legs together and that was uncomfortable. He could get his legs to parallel without squishing his balls, but keeping them there required effort. MUSCULAR EFFORT. Like,…
