Me and a friend successfully started a mosh pit during a 98 degrees concert at our county fair. We then proceeded to get kicked out of the Spin Doctors concert on the other side of the fairgrounds the same night.

The first time I met my sisters boyfriend, they drove up to my parents house and he had a big confederate flag on the back of his truck.

That’s very true. I held onto a lot of anger and resentment from High School (bullied heavily, stood up for myself and it got 10x worse, ended up dropping out and graduating elsewhere etc.) and when I went to my 10 year reunion (a friend dragged me) NONE of the people who made my life a living hell remembered me. …

I was expelled from school in Kindergarten for knocking a boys front teeth out. When my Dad came to pick me up from school, he asked me what happened and I said ‘he kept lifting up my skirt and trying to touch me so I punched him’. Apparently, the principle tried to defend the boy and paint me as unstable and…

It can definitely be both. I have a genetic disorder (as in, born with it and not transmitable) and while it’s easily treated there was definitely a witch hunt when people found out. There was an active group of parents who tried to get me kicked out of high school because I was a health menace to their precious…

I don’t think she want any of this. She doesn’t want to be under the microscope and is probably embarrassed about her lack of education and experience in anything beyond ‘modeling’, especially compared to the women she will now be surrounded by. In her NYC socialite circle she’s a queen bee... but among educated,…

I have a degree in aerospace engineering, an A&P license and I’ll be going back to school to get a masters in Logistics and Supply Chain Mamagement.

Same. We’ve always had a few days of food/water/whatevs available just in case we lose power in a snow storm and whatnot...but we’ve increased that to a 6 month supply and have started to add more camping and survival gear as well. My plan is to grab our shit and steal a plane (hooray for getting a pilots license!)…

THIS. I told myself for years that I just wasn’t strong enough, that I had to have better willpower etc. because that’s what I was brought up with. Taking pills to solve a problem was seen as weak and weakness was shameful and embarrassing. I moved away from that area a few years back (and, oddly, it wasn’t my…

THIS. I vaguely remember it being mentioned in a history class with the caveat that it was ‘necessary’ at the time. I genuinely had no idea how fucked up it was until I went to college and actually had a proper history course.

ha, that’s basically me. I lost my phone for a few days and when I finally got it back I had one text message and one missed call. The missed call was to remind me of a doctors appointment I had the following week and the text message was telling me my amazon package had been delivered.

Seriously. I raised dairy goats for years and while I would drink milk from my own goats, I would never ever suggest or encourage anyone else to drink it. Milk can be dangerous and I’m not taking that risk.

Ugh. I have a genetic disorder and had to have several surgeries between the ages of 9 and 13. I also had/have a bit of a pot belly because they’d fucked up one of those surgeries and shredded my stomach muscles. I was bullied HEAVILY and there was even a rumor that was started that I had aids and parents started…

My friends mom was similar to you. My friend was bullied and simply stopped telling her mom about it because every time she turned up at school yelling it made things FAR worse for my friend. The parents rallied around the bullies because they were ‘sweet kids’ and my friend was just making it up to get attention. …

Yep. I went to therapy for years and left school a year early because of bullying. I was held down and had my hair cut off, my tires slashed and car keyed and lots more heinous stuff. I tried to stand up to it because I was told that bullies are cowards... turns out bullies don’t like being stood up to either…

I’m all about the onesie/footie pajamas. My brother bought me a panda bear onesie a few years back as a joke and I was like JOKES ON YOU THIS IS AWESOME. Now we have several between us and my mom is not amused when we show up to thanksgiving dressed as a dinosaur and star fleet officer. Did I mention we are in our…

I’m in Star Trek footie pajamas AND a robe right now. I’m truly living my best life.

My boyfriend basically specializes in polling/surveys and aggregate data... and he LOVES picking apart questions. It can get a bit annoying when we’re at dinner and he’s asked to take a survey afterwards though... I keep telling him that the poor server has NOTHING to do with the questions and that quizzing them…

I have a chronic condition and have had to hold a full time job with benefits since I turned 18. I also had to attend school full time to qualify for any type of aid. It’s terrifying and I naively though that things would have changed in the past 15 years. I missed out on SO MUCH because of health insurance.  

I had to book an apt 8 months in advance for a physical/gyn appt and that’s with ‘Cadillac insurance’ and a super high risk of cancer (I hadn’t had a clear pap in several years). I recently made an appointment to get a consultation to have a keyloid scar removed because it shoots electric pains through my head that…
