I really wish the media would stop giving these people a platform. They get trotted out like this sweet family who lives life in a cute old fashioned way, when in reality they are a cult spreading a dangerous message. Maybe one day when the tell-all memoir of one of the younger ones gets published people will finally…

Have you made her baked beans? Not the quick ones, the ones that take a couple of hours. SO GOOD.

You know Pioneer Woman wants to drop the F bomb SO BAD. You know it's just bubbling up and one day she'll break and use it!

These weddings are just so sad. Especially when you think about how much money must have been spent.

Why is the fact that she's living with her parents and going to fashion school a "sad cocktail of sadness?" I lived with an aunt while I went to culinary school and I was grateful to have a place to live while broke and in school.

I think that's the difference between "deal breakers" and "incompatible differences." I think deal breakers can be fairly shallow, along the Seinfeld "Man Hands" vein. But incompatible differences are very important and should most certainly be considered before partnering up with someone. I would put Religion and How…

That is awesome. I'll never understand the anger some people have toward those with disabilities.

I understand. Sometimes it really got to me if people stared. One time, she made kind of a mess eating queso (she would get a little... exuberant... with things like queso and hush puppies, lol) and this older couple kept shooting us these disgusted glares. I finally just put down my fork, put my hands in my lap, and…

Fuck those people in the last story. I used to be a caregiver for a girl with multiple disabilities. One of her favorite things in the world is to go out to eat. The stares were bad sometimes, but I learned to just brush it off. If anyone had said anything within our earshot, I think I would have throttled them. Then…

Yeah, it wasn't happening organically for me at all. Bars were a complete bust, too. Just too many superficial people looking for one night stands. And I'm not really the type of person to be attracted to someone unless I get some time to know them. When you think about it, online dating just another way to meet…

I honestly believe that the more you put yourself out there the more success you will have. It worked that way for me and it worked that way for a lot of people I know. One of my good friends I met through Match married someone he met in a Chinese language Meet Up group. It happens all the time, and I find that the…

Uuuggghhh that happened to me way too much. Ghost me then pop up a month later and want to bone because whoever you thought you could get who you thought was better than me dumped you? Fuck. Off. I actually fell for a couple of times before I wised up, too. Sometimes when my husband annoys me I think back to those…

The problem with meeting people through work and friends is when you can't meet people through work and friends. My career is very female dominated so that cut out eligible men by a lot. My friend group tends toward women and gay men, so there was a dirth of eligible straight men with whom to hook up. Then, once you…

Husband and I met five years ago on OK Cupid. we've been married 2.5. I really, really believe online dating is as much about luck as gambling.

They do know how addictive the drugs are, and so do doctors, that's why they warn you when they prescribe them. And some people do need those drugs. There are lots of people living in pain.

I truly hope you get help. You are obviously an intelligent person, and it is a waste to spend the best years of your life addicted to that shit. In the mean time, please stay safe. I am glad to hear that you can purchase needles. Please keep doing that.

Oh yeah. And not just in PA, it's everywhere. I know first hand of someone who had a strong opiate addiction going. His dealer basically told him that he'd be happy to keep selling him hundreds of various pills every week, but heroin is cheaper and gets the job done quicker. It's how most people get hooked on heroin.

Yeah totally unacceptable. And every time this girl and her husband act like they are soooo much better than me, I just remember that they were tacky enough to not send a thank you note.

It happens to men all the time, it's just that men don't talk about it as much because men have more pressure not to appear weak in our culture. If you want a story ok - I had a friend a few years ago who was a really great guy. He was smart, charming, had a great career, and was a lot of fun to hang out with. His…
