She proceeds to explain to him that only a hamburger contains meat, and that a cheeseburger is vegetarian. She says she knows this because she has been to McDonald’s in London literally *hundreds* of times in the last few years, and that a cheeseburger is always vegetarian when she orders one!

“Living near retired parents who can help out is just not the norm anymore.”

then why didn’t they just get Emma Stone?

Amen. It’s like we do everything possible to cling to the old school schedules, based on an agrarian calendar and the presence of a stay at home parent. It’s so messed up. And don’t even get me started on all of the vacations.

*applauds* Our working people to death culture is horrible for our health. I have colleagues that work 14-16 hour days. Everyone is gaining weight. Everyone has health problems. Hardly anyone goes to the gym (I get up at 430am to get my workout in).

I think this is important too. I don’t have kids and don’t want them, but I have family and hobbies, and I don’t like working 80 hours a week and every weekend and every holiday either. Sometimes, the “compromise” in workplaces is to stick those without kids with all of the undesirable shifts. I know when I expressed…

That is an interview question that is illegal to ask. But what are you gonna do? You feel like you won’t have a chance if you point this out, but you feel the same way if you just answer.

My job essentially allows me to live anywhere there’s a stable internet connection, as does Mr. Ginger’s (we also have no little gingers), so we moved from the northern-midwest down to the deep south to be nearer to some of his family, specifically a grandmother battling cancer.

Sad thing is, both my best friends have also been assaulted. It’s something that is all too common and frankly I think it is the kind of thing that should be taught in sex ed. The rules of consent and such forth. But that’s just a pipe dream since so many places have determined that abstinence-only sex ed is the way…

I will admit here to engaging in skullduggery of my own. When I was sixteen (literally 20 years ago), I borrowed some pictures that had belonged to my grandfather of the landing at Normandy and a couple of holiday menus from his ship. I never returned them. If I had not done that, I would have absolutely nothing that…

People just need to validate their own choices by putting down others. Really all that should matter is (1) Did it make sense for the couple? (2) Do you like it? (3) Were you an asshole about it? If the answers are yes, yes, and no then A+ everyone.

After I got engaged, it struck me how weird people are with rings — especially other people’s rings.

Any other liberals out there thinking this email scandal is getting to be too much? I’m quite liberal and I thought this was a bunch of BS at first, but as it has gone on, Clinton’s response has been so shady, I don’t trust her to be president anymore. Whether the scandal is real or not doesn’t really matter to me…

My husband had terrible pictures on OKC. TURRRIBLE.

My mom knew I met my husband online. Then she tried to meet a guy online. She met a guy with a lot of gold teeth. A. LOT. OF. GOLD. TEETH.

Thank you for being honest. I’m calling bullshit on the women saying that they’d find this cute and not creepy. Complete bullshit.

Why? Because our lives are mundane drudgery and all of us want something, no matter how brief and stupid, that is magical and special to happen to us. No one gets an owl at age 11, no one follows a white rabbit down a hole. We sustain ourselves with fictions because reality is mostly an awful, cold place where you…

I saw this on Prudie the other day and couldn’t believe the comments that thought it was totally ok and not creepy. If I was this guy’s wife and he told me the real story behind our initial meeting I would reevaluate our entire relationship through that lens, wondering what other weird stuff had gone on unbeknownst to…

As a Michigan resident, you’ll be forgiven for just popping on a turtleneck sweater and concealing the last ‘10’ pounds.
