If I were to get married I think I'd have a total guest count of 25 and that includes friends and family. My cynicism and generalized dislike of people will finally come in handy!

Well, I was once told by a coworker that I wasted my money on my graduate degree and should have invested instead in plastic surgery and a gym membership. People have differing priorities I suppose.

4k still sounds ridiculous to me. When I still thought I might get married some day, I looked at rings in the $500 range and was still hesitant about that price.

My boyfriend has mentioned he wants a big wedding because his family likes to ‘show off’ their wealth while I want to elope and basically not spend any money beyond the license. I don’t think we’ll ever get to the point of marriage, but it is something that has caused riffs in my friends wedding planning.

I make 10k more than that and I'm just making ends meet renting a bedroom in a 4 bedroom house.

Right?! I weighed myself a week or two ago and was 237 lbs, but still fit into a size 13 juniors with no issues. Of course, even when I was 120 lbs I never went below a size 9, and I’m 6’2 tall. At 160 I’d be incredibly thin and 180 is currently my healthy long term goal. I grew up being told ‘anything over 120 is…

The stench of urine in the subway stations is how I know it's finally warm enough to be summer.

My boyfriend is a self described drama queen.He blows everything out of proportion and gets upset/angry at the drop of a hat. Even his friends know to come to me if they need shit done because he'll whine about it foreverrrrrr. I love the dude more than words can say, but we really balance each other out in…

My boyfriend and I have each donated close to $1000 each this year to PP and other women’s health related programs in much the same way. Remember to always put ‘in care of_____’ with your favorite forced birther name/group when you send it in !

Yes. My 4h group bought a ‘retired’ ultrasound machine for our club to use on various livestock. We used to hold clinics to pregnancy check goats and sheep for fundraising.

I have a rare genetic disorder that requires IV infusions every other week and I used to be pretty chill and explain that ‘no, I’m not making it up to get attention and no, eating more kale and going gluten free will not suddenly make my body produce an enzyme it doesn’t have the DNA for’. I can’t have kids, I have…

Depends on the job. When I was working as an aircraft mechanic we weren’t allowed to take ANYTHING without getting it cleared by our supervisor first. From advil to claritin to Oxy. Everything had to be approved and notated and if we did take anything within a set amount of time (72 hours for my company) we weren’t…

Yep. When I was hit in the company car a few years back, they made me go take a drug test before letting me go to the hospital. So I had to sit there, in a lab, with a pretty gnarly concussion and broken wrist. But hey, at least I passed my drug test!

Both myself and my boyfriend have been offered jobs in Austin. We turned them down before they could even finish because no amount of money will lure us into that state. And yes, I lived there for a bit and would give anything to have those 2 years back.

A good friend of mine in college went to the police to report her rape and they simply said ‘that’s it?’ and wouldn’t file a report. I think people underestimate how douchey police departments can be. She requested to speak to a woman hoping that she’d listen, but the only woman working for the PD in our town was an…

Yes and no....I have muffin top when I’m naked. It’s just the way my fat accumulates around my hips and it sucks :( I’ve had people say ‘you’re wearing the wrong size pants!’ but then I have muffin top when I’m wearing high waisted loose leggings so IDK.

My boyfriend helped me write up a workout plan, and we named the arm exercises ‘Michelle Obama Arms’ because dayyyyyummmmm. Also, not gonna lie, seeing a woman in the public spotlight that is tall, not stick thin, strong and kick ass has actually helped my self esteem quite a bit. I’m over 6’ tall and not supermodel…

speaking of FFA, the only reason officially given for the reason I lost star greenhand (and a sizable scholarship) was that I didn’t wear tights at a low level regional freshman level parli pro competition. The real reason was that the girl who won was best friends with our instructors daughter and they showed horses…

Oh man. I raised livestock for many moons and goat placentas have this weird mocha/purple color that I always thought was neat. When I painted my bathroom and the paint dude asked what shade I was looking for I just blurted out ‘goat placenta’ before realizing that’s something a crazy person would say :/

My Mother and I still eat green beans cold straight out of the can. It’s my weird ass comfort food now that I live across the country from her.
