Anyone who has ever been to planned parenthood knows this. When you go in and have to fill out paperwork for a birth control the question “Do you interested in a form of contraception that you can keep secret from your partner?” is listed 3 times in 3 different ways. Its super sad to me that it must be that common.

on those "Pain in the Ass" hair days, it goes up in a ponytail. I know I'll regret it FOREVER if I cut it. It's like my signature.

I despise the rule that women over "insert age" should not have long hair. Luckily, I'm blessed with thick wavy Italian hair, I have 4 kids, and have always rocked my long hair. I'm 52 and it's at my waist. When said kids were little, braids, ponytails, buns, etc. Same for work. I get the most compliments on my…

I already contacted my three suppliers from Indiana and told them I could not in good conscience continue to do business with them. Further explaining that while I was upset that my decision would negatively impact their businesses, I would not contribute to the economy of the state of Indiana or their tax coffers as…

What? What does that even mean? Is that like if a woman seeks an abortion, then a doctor can step in and make them stay pregnant? Can anyone explain how any of this works because it sounds utterly ludicrous.

Your tattoos sounds so sweet. It literally made me get tears in my eyes when I read about it.

I also re-entered in my 30's. Went to a bar, talked to the prettiest girl there. It's now been 8 years of crazy fun.

We each have "Love, Dad" in my father's handwriting on our left inside wrists. My Dad died a year before our wedding but he was more of a father to my husband than his ever was.

Your words about being "normal" struck extremely close to home for me. As a fellow CF patient, my goal in life is to be normal: to be able to do everything that people without CF can do. I'm fortunate to reside on the mild end of the spectrum, but that doesn't take away the hours of treatments and maintenance just to…

I have CF, and reside on the severe end of the spectrum. gotta feel for her.

I didn't have to read any of this article to know that she was innocent... damn.

I think you're being incredibly unfair to greenpig. 1) They were in a public place, I doubt they were going to kill her in a restaurant. 2) She was going to bail and suffer nothing for her malicious actions towards these multiple men. She deserves to be made a little uncomfortable for stringing along these four men…

you a bad ass bitch *applause*

In the summer of 2013, I had spent 8 Very Long, Very Hard years in graduate school and was a mere two weeks away from defending my Ph.D. My monogamous husband of 8.5 years went over to visit our closest couple friends' of 5 years house to drink and play video games while I worked on all of my dissertation shit.…

I've told this story before here. But.

"Sorcia, I'm in love with your best friend [a dude with a hilariously ridiculous name that I cannot post here]. We're moving to Virginia and I hope you'll be happy for us."
