If you supercut all of the Scott Eastwood scenes together and mute the sound, 10/10 would watch.

The Fox and the Hound completely fucking destroys me.

I created a burner account because this story is so mortifying. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship, then marriage for over 20 years. No matter how I toiled and sacrificed, nothing was ever good enough, including gifts. Circumstances conspired so that I ended up jobless before a Christmas some years ago,…

BEST: Growing up, my mother did all the gift purchasing and subsequent wrapping. Totally fair given that my dad was working 70 hour weeks at that point. One year, when I was about 10 years old, there was a little present under the tree wrapped in the remnants of a grocery bag. "To: Annie; Love, Dad." He had gotten me…

Worst gift: My mom's best friend/my sister's godmother is notorious in our family for giving shit gifts. She asks every year what my parents and siblings want we tell them, and she promptly ignores us and gives us crap. Some gifts have included:

10%? I don't think it's even that high in the Bible Belt.

Particularly as it's a standard that virtually nobody in modern America accepts. Really, how many people do you know were virgins on their wedding days? Do you know any who are both younger than (say) 50 and not especially religious?

a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual activity,

I don't understand buying fakes. You're not fooling anyone. Your friends know you're not able to afford that $3,000 purse on your high school teacher's salary. The copies they tend to make also are usually the ugliest of the designer models. I buy my bags on ASOS. They're cute, decent quality, and I can buy a few to…

I am in Dresden for the weekend right now, which is the epicenter of German Christmas markets (I'm pretty sure the oldest one is here)...it was decidedly amazing though FULL of people. Holy crap. So many people. Too many people. But if you can get here during Christmas, it is truly a wonderful time!

Hecks yeah German Christmas is the bestest of all possible Christmasses to be had! I mean, we basically invented all of the cool Xmas stuff - the tree, the decorations, the booze...

My husband picked this for the first dance. Her Space Holiday - Tech Romance w/ lyrics:

Ok party people, let's talk cosmetics. Today I bought the sephora favorites "superstars" gift set for myself. I thought it would be a good way to try out some nicer stuff than the drugstore brands I usually use. The set consists of:

I am reading Jez after folding laundry, so nope.

My three year old upon seeing this, "I WANT ONE THOSE COWS!"

When the cow put her face on that little girl's lap my icy cold heart totally melted. Also I love that the mom was calm enough to realize how sweet that moment was and didn't just freak out that there's a cow in her house, which is probably how I would react.

My comment has nothing to do with the addition of female characters (though yay for that!), but I will say that something that I really liked about the first season of True Detective was the grittiness that came from the geographic setting. Something about the Louisiana swampland that made the whole thing…

Went to Nordstrom to pick up some L'Occitane hand lotion for my boyfriend ($28) and spent $80 on face soap and lipstick for myself. Argh. I need to get back into saving mode. How do you guys save money?

And not just from men. A weak handshake from a woman bothers me, too. Like, come on, we're better than that. Put your back into it, ladies!

Remember when CA voted to ban gay marriage (that whole prop 8 debacle)? Religion in my office reared its ugly head then. What an awful surprise. Normally though, people keep it somewhat to themselves I suppose. Of course, I work from home now and really only see people I want to see. So, I'm pretty sheltered these…
