<Cries into a thermos monogrammed K.D.*> That was beautiful.

Actually, the blog also takes its name from a Bette Davis movie called Jezebel. The choice of the name Jezebel was to demonstrate the laughable hypocrisy in how women who were so-called "Jezebels" were historically vilified thanks in large part to a patriarchal culture obsessed with shaming women for owning their…

Never try to rob a gun store.

1) There's more than one thing you've been...itching to ask (sorry, couldn't help it), I suggest writing it down. White coat anxiety is a very real thing, and its so easy to forget all the things you wanted to mention once you actually reach the exam room. Write it down!

I got to work Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. The joys of working as a nurse in a hospital.

I have to agree, this wasn't quite the grossest thing I've ever read or experienced, but then, I'm a nurse with great experience in Interventional Proctology. But as first efforts go, it's not bad. Here's a pro tip for all: don't dig in your pooper with your fingers on a daily basis. It leads to prolapse of the anus.…

someone needs to make clear to this guy that "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it" is not, like, a law. It's just a thing that people say.

I'm not ready to call the dominant console of my college years "old." Not when I grew up hooking Pong-only devices to cathode-ray tube sets.

Thanks for the great year! Sundays have been terrible; so close to BCO, but still so far away...

Thank you for your support. I'm just going through all the files now, and just recovering it all and sifting through all files slowly. It's going, there's progress, and hopefully I haven't lost anything due to an overwrite.

Oh honey your husband is completely wrong and this sounds like financial abuse.

Since it can't be resized it doesn't seem like a crazy thing to ask for one that fits you appropriately. Also, I'd bring up the fact that your s/o got to pick out/ design his and while you certainly don't hate your current rings you'd like the option of having one that reflects you as an individual. Ugh, that is…

If I thought I could teach my Boston to do this, I would drop $300 on a roomba right now. But she won't sit still for 5 seconds. She did wear this Christmas headband around for a long time today and that was pretty adorable.

This is wrong on so many levels. I'll leave it to other commenters to point that out. What I want to say to you, as a nurse, please don't give up on finding a diagnosis. Don't let people tell you you're imaging things or just seeking attention. There are so many disease processes that we're only beginning to…

WHOA WHOA WHOA. She, AS A DOCTOR, illegally accessed your medical records? That is so not-okay that my head is spinning. She really shouldn't be able to maintain her license if she's behaving that unethically toward her own sister.

I am kind of drunk and should not have said what I did. I cannot revise my previous posts and I am really sorry for being a jerk. Look, only you know your relationship and I am an asshole for saying otherwise. I really wish you the best and a happy life. I mean it with all my heart.

Okay, people, wrestling and rough housing with your cat is NOT COOL. Buy a feather toy and some mice/jingly bells/shiny balls/whatever to play with them and redirect them/leave the area if they start to think your hand or body is a toy.

If for some reason you become unable to care for the cat the cat is…

Oh Ross, dear Ross:

Flurfy butt <3

See, that sounds awesome. And even if he wants to do a grand romantic gesture, there are ways to do that without making it obnoxiously un-private. A friend of mine hired an accordion player to pop out from behind the bushes while they were having a mountain picnic and that is silly and awesome and not ridiculous.
