I'm already married, but I still sometimes fantasise about the kind of wedding I would plan if I wasn't ADHD and planning-averse and completely apathetic about big weddings.

The horror! Next week: Childless people who've ALREADY PICKED OUT NAMES FOR THEIR UNBORN!!!

My freshman year of college, I was far from home (I am from CO, college was in PA), and knew I probably wouldn't have the money to fly back for dinner. My roommate offered to let me come back to New Hampshire with her and I agreed. A bunch of friends offered me places but I had already agreed to go with the roommate.

I think your dad ruined it, though...

This isn't a horror story as much as it's a story about family craziness. My dad's family is kind of big. He's one of 6 kids, 5 boys. All of my uncles and my dad...well, they're whores. Like...seriously. They are a group of good-looking black men with former military service, good jobs and cool personalities and that

This year is the very worst. I have been run out of Ferguson because my house is right next to the fires. I am crashing on an air mattress three hours away with my two dogs at my mother's house, a woman I try to limit my encounters with to twice a year at best for various reasons. Some highlights from yours truly, the

One Thanksgiving, my teeth were just starting to come in. I was miserable and crying. My material grandmother, a lovely and tiny woman from Ireland, decided the best thing for me was to rub whiskey on my gums. Unfortunately, she didn't realize my paternal grandfather, an ex-Navy Italian from Queens, was doing the same

I'm drinking red wine and eating soy chorizo tacos (my thanksgiving salmon didn't defrost properly) while marathoning Harry Potter (I'm on 4!) and watching videos of Beyoncé dancing on YouTube alone in my apartment. So basically this is the best Thanksgiving ever?

Last year, when my relatives found out I not only had a girlfriend, I have an Indian, Muslim girlfriend who makes more money than all of them.

Quintavious is one of those names that is so amazing its bearer has no choice but to cultivate a life and personality and style worthy of it.

My 5 year old is obsessed with marriage. He wonders why he can't get married now. He told me that he's knows that marrying a man is fine, he needs to marry a lady because he wants to be a dad an "only Mums can born babies." He said he's decided he's going to marry Eleanor because she's very pretty. The little girl

You did it you cracked the code. Kids dictate letters to their parents. One of history's greatest mysteries solved.

I'm pretty sure this would work on me at 34. YES to cheese, sir. YES to robots.

Growing up in the 80s, a thousand miles away from Hollywood, we all knew that there were some kind of women who would make false accusations against powerful men so they could extort money out of them. Now I think, lordy, how many of those women were telling the absolute truth, and the PR architecture not only

I've been a little obsessed with this current round of accusations, as I had my own brush with Cosby back in the early '80s. My job at the time put me in his sight line and he was, I can see in retrospect, "grooming" me for this type of encounter. I could very well have been one of these women, if I had ever believed

Also equally fucked is the assumption that the women who have come forward are only in it for "money" or "fame." Look how many didn't want to be identified, how many didn't want the media knocking down their doors. Money and fame my ass.

As a guy, I want to thank you for this article. I've never dealt with the kind of silencing and shaming that these women dealt with as a result of their decision to come forward. I probably never will. But having that process explained in all its particulars is enlightening and appalling. Reading about the lawyer who

That's really what it comes down to. There plenty of people who have control and even rape fetishes who find ways to sate them ethically and legally even though they don't have a fraction of the money, power, and access Cosby does. You can find willing partners to do just about anything in the kink scene, and if you

Thank you for writing this story! I'm a Temple alum and I've started a petition, now signed by 700 people, asking Temple to end its relationship with Bill Cosby. I was disappointed with how Temple handled these allegations in 2005 and continue to be. Many alums and current Temple students do not want him involved

They were laughing while eating salad, alone.
