Mom is really getting to that stage. She’s 83 now (god...that’s a heavy thing for a 40 year old to write), and she spouts off church doctrine (we’re evangelical Pentecostal, ugh), she’s like “well, what harm could a gay couple do to a poor kid living in foster care? I don’t see any Christians coming out and adopting…

It might have been more than that. I have no idea. I did mouth Jia off once, too. So that’s a black mark that shall never be erased ;)

Honestly, this really hasn’t caused any lasting scars. Even as a kid, I thought it was the dumbest shit ever.

I’ve been grey back and forth since my snide remark about the $10,000 for Lena’s untouched photos. Then Rebecca left, and I’ve been grey since.

Adopted here. I carry the sins of my mother, let me fucking tell you. My parents are actually my maternal grandparents. Dad never blamed me for anything, Mom rarely rarely did - sometimes she lost her temper and said I was going to turn out like my bio mother, but very rarely. Their eldest daughter, however, was a…

My friend’s husband was beating her so badly he had to hose himself off with the garden hose (to avoid getting blood on the floors because she was too stupid and lazy to clean them right), and you know what her parents said? “We’ll pray for him.”

We got a lot of homeschooling collectives come to our centre (homeless drop in + loads of housed, but marginalized people). This one group came and did their thing, and it was my job to do the debriefing. The adult asked me to share with the girls why smoking would lead to drugs. I’m like, well, technically it…

I have no snark for Anna at all. None. If I lived near her, I’d bake her pies, look after her kids, and not even talk to her if that’s what she wanted. I have known too many women like her, and I have no snark, no angry, nothing but compassion.

400 people in my high school K-12. I’m 40 and I can still tell you who had sex with who, when, and who tried “everything but no butts” LOL

There’s a lot of non-Americans who comment here, too. For example, where I live, this is just a job and not an election position.

was concerned about her conservative family finding out.

I have to have a breast reduction. I’ve been putting it off for a long time. I even lied about the constant pain I’m in. Hell, I didn’t even know constant pain wasn’t normal for most of my life.

EEEK sorry that is so huge

Still my favourite campaign “Don’t be that guy” (It’s specifically aimed at guys because of the uptick in sexual assaults done by young men against both men and women - they have dude-dude posters, too).

I had a cousin go through that. She was a model. Nothing huge or anything, but it paid the bills. Then she got older and the body shape of our family showed up and said hello. She freaked. Absolutely freaked. All of her identity had been tied up in her looks and suddenly, from her POV, she was no longer what she…

Yup, I read it. And the other one about how the “pretty girl” has a crisis when she becomes everyday average mom in an SUV.

She hasn’t posted to any of the articles. Is she ok? Has the internet been taken away from her?

THANK YOU. I thought it was just me!

Mine does (TD Canada Trust). My husband’s does, too (Royal Bank of Canada).

Damn. I was hoping there was like a family of cousins, at least, who had that batty old lady who could tell her to run.
