This wasn’t so much embarrassing for me as it was for the ten sixteen-year-olds I was chaperoning at the cinema. I was in the middle of them (so they couldn’t even pretend they didn’t know me) and ten minutes into the movie started full-on breathless crying sooo hard. It made Carrie from Homeland’s breakdowns look…

I can vividly remember my 6th grade teacher crying when she read “Where the Red Fern Grows” aloud to our class. Actually, it was pretty cool. Of course it set the whole class crying, even the boys, so it was not embarrassing for anyone. I also think she really set an example of being really touched by, and connecting…
At a lame Hulu commercial the other week? (because puppies + archetypal formative year images for machiavellian media heartstring tugs.)
Fucking TODAY, you guys. In my 10-year-old’s parent-teacher conference. She’s new to the school and keeps her friends at arm’s length because she seems to not want to “replace” her old friends back home. So we were talking to the teacher and guidance counselor, and I don’t have any friends here, either, so I got sad.…
I love Jon Stewart so much that sometimes when I talk or think about him I cry.
Wow, she seems like a damn piece of work. I hope a turtle bit her nose.
On my 16th birthday, I failed my driver’s test. I spent two hours crying horrible, ugly tears on my bathroom floor. Snot everywhere, completely a wreck, it was the most I’ve ever cried in my life. I refused to let my parents talk any sense into me, I was convinced my life had ended. I was not the type of kid who…
My Polish boyfriend’s family has a very sweet Christmas Eve tradition where, before they eat dinner, everyone goes around the table to everyone else and singularly wishes them well for the holiday and the new year. This was new for me so I was a little teary from the get. So his 7-year-old nephew got to me and said,…
I was on a plane from Hawaii to Alaska and was nursing a kidney stone. Had to stifle my voice so I didn’t freak everyone out by screaming on a plane. Instead, I was audibly sobbing into my tray table until I passed out from the pain. Woke up an hour later and continued the cycle.
I was 15 and my dad shaved his mustache - he’s had it ever since I was born. I saw that he had shaved it and burst into tears (lol). He let it grow back.
On a commuter train home. I was reading the final book in a series I loved and it seemed as if the beloved main character was dead. I was legit sobbing. Don’t judge me, I get really attached to book characters.
Hey, I really think it’s awesome you’re doing this. Thank you! I’m an RN working in a Cardiothoracic ICU at the largest hospital in my very rural state. Patients who have had open heart surgeries come directly up to my unit from the OR because they’re way too unstable to go to the recovery room. Most of them do very…
My concern is that since my dream costume is Rococo era pomp, and I’ve never actually indulged - once I do, I’ll never take it off and you’ll see me at the DMV and Rite-Aid looking like Paula Deen on last week’s DWTS.
I’m in the greys, so we’ll see if this gets seen, but IT’S OCTOBER YOU GUYS!!! All the parts of my costume have finally arrived and I’m super excited to be Barbara from Beetlejuice while the hubs is gonna be Adam. First attempt at a couple’s costume, and I’m silly with excitement.
What are you gonna be for Halloween???
If you haven’t seen the original 1st season of American Horror Story (known as “Murder House” season) I HIGHLY recommend it. So scary but also poignant. But you’ve probably seen it. Anyone who hasn’t PLEASE WATCH IT IT IS GREAT!
Halloween movie/show reccomendations please!
Okay Jezzies, I need to hear stories about having to end longterm (like 20 year) female friendships.
Every now and then there’s a Friday open thread too... I think it used to be a regular thing, don’t know why it isn’t now. I’m with you, it’s nice. I guess the Pissing Contest is sort of like that in a way.
I am SO HAPPY he found a new home!
