A lovely and well-meaning but slightly crunchy friend of our recommended ginger tea drinks to help my mum with her nausea while she was on chemo. And that's cool and fine, but she happened to end up with KOMBUCHA. Luckily, I recognized it as "that notably unpasturized drink" when I saw the bottle in the fridge,…

So related recent story: I'm a college student who likes to troll the cesspool that is yikyak. Don't judge.

Weird, I always considered the possibility that our violent crime rates are higher than other places because maybe, I dunno, any moron can get a gun here? With little to no scrutiny, training or oversight?

My roommate answered the door to some missionaries a bit back and got caught up in their "polite conversation so you'd be rude to shut the door" trap. The Walking Dead was coming back from commercials and I could hear her straining, so I walked over, bluntly told them we weren't interested, and shut it in their face.…

Right?! How on earth could that NOT be offensive? And again, the flip side is incredibly damning: you think that if you didn't have Jesus or whoever in your life that you'd see nothing wrong with killing babies or something? Is that how low an opinion you have of the world?

Both my boyfriend and I are on the Atheist/Agnostic scale (both grew up in loosely religious households without much emphasis on theology). He once had a friend discover this and give some version of "wow, I thought you were such a good/nice person...".

Oooooh that giant poodle (?) needs to be put outside and ignored for a while, and introduced to the jumping dog chest-knee. Way too big a dog to be allowed to jump and hump on people, let alone their heads!

I'm anticipating major jaw surgery next summer that will require wiring my jaw shut for up to six weeks and I am expecting life to be MISERABLE during that time for this very reason.

Thank you!

A question for any legal-savvy Jezzies that I've never really gotten an answer to in the same-sex marriage issue between states: How can Alabama legally not recognize a valid California marriage? Regardless of Alabama's stance, wouldn't denying it violate Full Faith and Credit? And since that's written into the…

As a natural blonde with dyed maroon-copper hair (depending on fade level, which usually still manages to look decent), I see nothing wrong with your brows. Perfectly visible, nice shape.

May I just say that, as a current 18-22 year old, I find this fairly irritating? We're college age, not highschool. This is the age where outgrowing cliquishness and social position obsession is an expectation. You do not gain maturity or a sense of priorities by having someone dictate your looks and interactions and…

I mean, I'm 20 and don't have experience raising kids, but that seems like the kind of thing I would consider possibly dangerous bratty nonsense. Sally gets in trouble for saying it and a firm talk about dangerous allergies, but why get the POLICE involved with a TEN YEAR OLD unless something (unlikely) happens?

This is incredibly standard terminology, at least in America when discussing legal affairs. "Class" in this sense can refer to gender, race, sexual orientation (in some cases), pregnancy/marital status, age, or anything else that might distinguish you for the sake of discrimination, so no, this isn't an attack on the…

Kind of uncomfortable with the responses that this is getting.

Maybe it's because I assumed she was a RED BLOODED AMERICAN with the BOOTSTRAPS she needs to not HAVE diseases! MY MISTAKE, APPARENTLY.

In addition to what others have said: not being able to tell a specialty bread-like product from regular bread can be forgiven, but in what world can any sober person confuse fried vegetables with bread??

Personally, I am also an atheist. And I cannot wait until we become bigger and more inclusive and crowd out closed-minded assholes like you, who would rather dump all over gigantic support, charity and community networks with huge potential for good than promote tolerance and ethical treatment for all within all…

Which is why I'm taking advantage of the opportunity they can currently give me by being in college and focusing on doing the most I can here without accruing debt. How else do you propose I best get a job that WILL pay the bills? By saying "no thanks, guys. Someday you won't be helping, so I'm going to face these…

She's a kid. She had something important coming up, and got ready in preparation. Maybe she had it done professionally, spent good money on it, and had been told by her mum to skip out of swimming that day.
