My bf did this when we went out. No matter how many times I told him it bothered me that he sat on his phone and ignored me he never stopped doing it. Finally, I brought a book with me and every time we went out I sat away from him and read. He'd ask me a question and I'd just respond with 'huh?' and make him…

In general, I use groupon if I want to try a new place to see if I like it. I got so sick of going to a restaurant, getting shitty service, paying $80 for a meal and then being incredibly disappointed. There are probably 10 or so restaurants that me and my bf have tried with groupon and now go back and happily pay…

I made a weird shepherd's pie with mashed cauliflower and mashed purple potato (some sort of fingerling?) together. So it was delicious lavender shepherd's pie and my boyfriend thinks I'm crazy.

I made goat cheese for years and always pronounced it 'shev'.

It's just so messed up to me that the richer you are, the more stuff you get for free. The poorer you are, the more you have to pay for things. Society is very, very odd.

THIS. Sometimes things are totally cool and it's like 'oh, blood, no big' and I just keep on keepin on. Other times, the week before my period I crave salty stuff (I can stuff an entire bag of fritos in my mouth at once, apparently) and get super duper needy. Like, I get irrationally sad and weepy if my boyfriend…

Something similar happened to me, except they had me train my replacement. They offered me a promotion and asked if I could train my replacement because nobody had any idea how to do my job. I spent nearly a month training him, and the day after I said 'ya know, I think he's pretty good right now but I'll still be…

Yep. That's why it always cracks me up when people talk about how 'down home' and 'nice' country folk are. There are just as many (if not more! I live in a city now and find people are actually nicer here than in the rural area I grew up in) terrible people in the country than are in the city.

Donate it. It's a tax write off. They go to the auctions and spend tons of money on livestock because it gets their names in the paper and on bilboards at the fairgrounds which brings in business. Plus, it makes them look like they're supporting the kids in the community which always looks good. It's a…

4H was pretty cool for me...it was FFA that was horrible. The only reason I was even involved in that hyper-political, cliquish shit show was the scholarships.

I grew up in a rural area, and interestingly was a vegetarian during high school while raising livestock. While I didn't eat meat, my animals were incredibly well cared for and slaughtered in the most humane way possible so I didn't feel any guilt at all over it.

PR. We had several politicians and large companies send reps out to purchase livestock animals, then they'd donate them to charity bbqs etc. and get to put their names all over EVERYTHING at the fairgrounds.

Yep. I raised livestock for our county/state fairs for 11 years and the winners every year were the rich kids. The ones who spent more on their animals than they would EVER get back from auction, and it kinda sucked for those of us who couldn't afford to spend 5 figures on a calf plus professional groomers and…

Steers can't breed. They lack testicles. Testosterone doesn't create meat that tastes very good, therefore nearly all animals raised for slaughter are castrated very early on. Plus, bulls are HUGE pains in the butts (as are bucks and rams etc.) and would be a legitimate danger for most teens to handle comfortably.

Exactly! I stopped taking group photos years ago because I just looked HUGE compared to my 5' nothing friends. I'm not fat by any means (though I am a powerlifter so I'm not teeny tiny either) but I am One Huge Bitch (tm). I'm still dealing with enormous (ha!) insecurities regarding my size and managing depression…

I've never been a big proponent of 'people can change'. Do I think they can? Yes....but it's going to take a LOT of time and energy to build that trust up and most people simply don't have that kind of motivation and willpower. I did get 'courted' by a guy who had 3 children by two different women by the time he…

When my boyfriend is being a pain, I just smack him with my hair and say 'ponytail' and then we sexy dance fight. We did this in a CVS a few weeks ago. It got weird.

When I first saw this show my immediate thought was 'Oh god..this is my family..' Then I called my Mother to tell her and instead of answering with 'hello' she simply burped into the phone and then snort-laughed instead.

The FLOTUS is 5'11. This picture is of a 5'11 woman who weighs 200 lbs.

I think people really need to keep the fact that she's super tall in mind. It seems that the taller a woman is, the thinner she needs to be to be considered 'fit/healthy'. I'm 6'2 and I'll never be petite and small. I'll always take up more room than a smaller woman. I'll never be 'lithe and whispy' because my…
