It's so interesting how our society has marriage and kids all tangled up, when they really aren't all that related. I, for example, am very much into my marriage but want kids exactly never. People have a hard time accepting it, but eventually come around. Why they don't seem to come around to the idea that women who…

Because, as we all know, 100% of these women are very much interested in marrying Mr Right but have simply become disheartened. Because marriage and motherhood are synonymous. Absolutely impossible that they could actually WANT to stay single and be a mother.

TOTALLY! Aren't they supposed to be lapping that shit up?!? I've always been of the opinion that anyone who's pro-life and not absolutely 100% behind adoption is not against abortion at all, but simply against anyone but married, submissive women having sex.

Buying high-quality bacon from free-range pigs also reduces shrinking a lot. It tastes the same (and often better) despite having significantly less fat on it. And it's the fat that shrinks.

As someone with horrible stomach issues, more often than you would think.

The problem was that the sleeves were solidly connected to the dresses, which through a corset were solidly connected to me. If you lift your arms, your shirt will rise with your shoulders, and that's what allows movement. But with these the dress couldn't rise with the shoulders so my shoulders ended up staying put.…

Haha! It actually says that?!? Hilariously awesome. The app I use (Kindara) for NFP allows me to choose to use it to avoid pregnancy. It'd be kind of gut-wrenchingly funny if it gave me a "oohhh sad trombone sound every time I entered in sex.

Kindara has been doing this for quite some time. They don't have the sleep or eating functions but they certainly know their stuff when it comes to family planning. And it allows you to choose whether you're trying to avoid or achieve pregnancy. I've had great experiences with it and it's certainly way better having…

Totally! It's kind of funny to me how people think that their "healthy" sugary choices are actually any better than a real honest-to-god cheat food. I mean, it's an exercise in deprivation even while attempting to treat oneself. Sadism. I'll take my kale 6 days a week, my pastries one day a week and still come out…

Yeah I was just saying that finances are stretched right now, and we've been kicking ourselves for basically every major purchase we've made in the past 2 years, but we still haven't regretted buying that car for an instant.

Oh the tax bill wasn't car related whatsoever. Big hullabaloo regarding a contracting company that my husband shouldn't have.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Plus, then that way we spend more time in the car together listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks. It's actually been good for our relationship too to get more time together.

It's definitely meant some sacrifices here and there but has overwhelmingly worked by and large. I know so many couples that live in the suburb, both work downtown at roughly the same hours, drive two cars there and back and then complain about their budget constraints due to gas/insurance/payments etc and they also…

My husband and I made the choice to get one new car we absolutely love and share it rather than two cars we just kind of don't mind. It was a good move for us and one that we're still really happy with, a year and a half later with an astronomic tax bill we didn't expect. We wouldn't have been opposed to buying the…

Yeah, I'm not opposed to the occasional green juice but avoid fruit juice like the plague for that same reason. If I'm going to treat myself to that much sugar, it's going to be a goddamn beautiful glass of ginger beer. I kind of laugh when I see people with their kale jugo juices thinking they're being all healthy.…

Like I said, I'm perfectly willing to accept that most GM food is fine. I just don't have the scientific literacy I think required to make a judgement call about which are ok and which I'm not so comfortable with. So the "easy" option for me is organic whole foods from the farmer's market. And, generally speaking,…

I'm not convinced that genetically altering foods is inherently wrong or will always have disastrous consequences. That's basically what we've been doing for thousands of years with domesticated animals through selective breeding.

I thought I wanted a dress with sleeves. That is, until I tried a few on. Flattery be damned, you can't lift your arms if the dress fits right.

I've only ever had it taste good once, and it was at a fine dining Lebanese joint that cost like $50 a plate (the falafel was a bit cheaper, but just to give an idea of how pricey the average entree was). Everywhere else has been somewhere between meh and gross.

I see what you're getting at but I think you and I are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. As someone who has been raped, I can sure tell ya it looked a hell of a lot like sex to me, it just wasn't consensual. Rape is forced/pressured/coerced sex, as far as I'm concerned. It's called a sex crime. But I…
