Huh. That does make sense. And as an adult, after I had decided to leave religion altogether and had lost belief in god, my brother said that without religion he believed he'd be a rapist or murderer. So maybe he would be. Maybe he does have to have an outside source telling him what is right and what is wrong. …

Going to the doctor in the US can be prohibitively expensive. Even with Medicare, I couldn't afford to go to the doctor for a long time—and I really needed to. The copay was just too much.

Do you know anyone in Norway who wants to marry me so I can get healthcare? Things really suck here. Utah is a horrible place to live with a disability.

I'm not surprised. A FB friend recently asked on her wall for all of us to send her our old BC because she's having menstrual issues but can't afford to see a doctor. She doesn't qualify for medicaid, and a preexisting condition makes buying her own insurance prohibitively expensive. A few years ago, she went to…

I think I need to heart you immediately.

Thank you.

But I have lots of feelings about goats and no feelings about Rihanna.

Heheheheh. Sister biters unite!

I can never live down the fact that when I was two I bit my sister on the butt because my other sister told me to. I feel your mom's pain.

Ok, I guess it's important to understand that my mom has a really funny voice. She was sick as a child and one of her vocal chords was paralyzed and her voice is just really, really funny. It sounds like a person speaking with their soft palette raised in a highish pitch with a bit of gravel. And I love it because…

Aw, hearted back!

It makes me laugh that l'il Bristol think "traditional" marriage is thousands of years old. What she's calling traditional marriage has been the tradition approximately since industrialism took over the world.

A month ago, I cried to a friend because I still feel horribly, horribly guilty that I kicked my pet dog after getting beaten up by my older brother, who was a terrible person who beat me unconscious, terrorized me, and molested me. Even thinking about hurting that poor dog makes me cry right now. I can't believe I…

The difference is, most of us own up to the fact that we were awful when we were kids. Most of us are willing to apologize to those who were the recipients of our awfulness. Most of us (who aren't complete sociopaths) feel guilty about our awfulness. I wasn't a bad kid. I was actually surprisingly compassionate…

I doubt you're as crazy about it as the moms here are. It's not a nostalgia thing. It's women who were raised in a repressive religion (I know, I was raised in the same religion) and encouraged to marry as young (18-21) virgins. They're usually unsatisfied that their current lives with husbands who aren't the…

I'm bi, but I had mine set to gay for a while (because of this awful man issue) because I'll date women I meet online but not men (it sounds prejudiced, but I feel safer this way and if I want to sleep with a guy, I'll have a friend set me up). I have it set back to bi now because it felt disingenuous and I hated…

Not snarking on Twilight would be way more reverence than that shitty franchise deserves.

I live in Utah. The Twilight fans aren't twelve. The twelve year olds are SO OVER Twilight. Their moms are the fans. It gives me sads.

Meyers seems really weird. Just creepy strange weird. I want all the gossip.

It's not the housekeeping that makes their horniness scary, promise. But seeing my cousin post on FB every day about Twilight (including photos of her trip to whatever the name of that Twilight town was), and seeing Mormon women in their forties rent out movie theaters to watch Twilight? THAT is scary.
