Oh but I did have the most ridiculous daydream about it. I was cooking that engagement chicken recipe (for myself, it's delicious and easy enough where I don't have to go out looking for stuff like 2 strands of unicorn butt hair), and I was like...oh...what if... one day I come home and the man has made me the…

That's really cute and "d'awwww," haha. I already wrote a long explanation to Ladyology, but I'll re-summarize again because Kinja is weird -

Oh, no not really. That's yet another way of doing it in my head. "Both people" to me is like one person does it, but the other person (usually the woman) also does it later, because of balance-equality-etc. I've read about this idea as more feminist and equal, like the man has asked, but the woman hasn't taken the…

I would prefer an alternative method, but for the life of me I can't think of anything that doesn't sound stupid. I know it's more "egalitarian," but I hate the idea of both people proposing

Was this meant to be cruel? I don't know if this is a Texas/socioeconomic thing, but friend's family calls everyone "mama" all the time, regardless of marital status, etc. I've been called "lil mama" while I was waitressing before, and I don't think the patron meant it in any mean way (I'm single, never married, was…

I am doing me; I'm just doing wishful thinking. I really hate H&M but shop there sometimes because I can afford it and I really hate thinking about sales, discounts, stuff like calculating unit price. I'm saying that it would be nice to imagine having that kind of income (or, if it's fiancé money, hopefully when…

Man, if I had a 10k engagement ring, I would not be shopping at H&M.

I have a stupid question (I know very little about how car ownership works besides paying for registration) - what happens if you have a used car that may fall under recall? Will I still get a recall notice, or am I just written off?

Ohhh, I see. I mistakenly thought you would be living on the farm in some quaint room and board thing. Now that I think about it, I may have too idyllic a view of blacksmithing.

Never you mind that skinny hipster, because BABY BOK CHOY IS DELICIOUS. Also, my parents ferment all kinds of their own stuff, like kimchi and suan cai - "Chinese sauerkraut" (once, my mom was very, very insistent on me drinking a huge bowl of their rice wine because "it's made from rice so it's good for you"), and…

I have seen pictures on my FB that are OBVIOUSLY altered via filter (like, the colors are too vintage muted or it's very contrast-y) and have the hashtag #nofilter on them. The people were not using it ironically. I'm always tempted to comment but decide at the last minute before posting that anyone that…

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY YES (although, my idea of blacksmiths may be biased because I've only heard of people meeting really cool ones)

I'm also a sucker for Method, although I do use other things. I know a huge part of it is their ingredients list. They are really smart on this. For example, the first ingredient on the dish soap says "plant-based + biodegradable surfactants." The whole ingredients list is like 6 things, which include "purified…

If I remember correctly - she definitely didn't put as much importance on it as others did, but I don't remember if she really hated it until post-Joey sex (and I think something about her mom being gone cemented it - I'm never sure if her mom died or left them).

god you know you're getting old when you used to be closer in age to the girl but now I am even older than the guy. I am older than the sexual abuser. When did this happen?! And what was this dream of youth/delusion I once had that abusers would always be older than me

Have you read Tampa? It's fiction, by Alissa Nutting. It's about a woman who is a sexual predator and a teacher (based on a real woman, Debra Lafave). One of the creepiest things about the character of Celeste is that she did indeed pick her career by priority of access to prepubescent boys.

I think it's okay for someone to be "led" to feminism after a shitty relationship that causes her to re-think her place in society. Her feminism is real - it doesn't end up just as revenge against Joey or anything. Also I thought she dumped him after they had sex but she didn't really want to (but everyone else was?)

I am always befuddled when people don't get the "how we act on our thoughts" part. Sometimes I think these people are collectively all mental toddlers - thoughts do not require you to always follow through on them. Stifling some thoughts or realizing they are stupid does not repress you or make you less of a "free…

But the last word wasn't "scars" like she said! SCARS

I felt like the costume/wardrobe dept also went out of their way during the last few seasons to make her EXTREMELY UNATTRACTIVE (maybe to make her less hot to the audience/Ted? I have no idea.) Like...wtf was that wedding dress (that she kept weirdly adjusting and surreptitiously scratching during the finale).
