For my wedding, my mother in law bought us “redneck wineglasses”. After opening them at my parents house upon returning from the Honeymoon, I looked at my husband and laughed saying, “And here I thought your parents didn’t know how to joke.” My husband looked at me sadly and then explained that it was not a joke. His…
I usually tell people that I refuse to pay for someone to tickle my feet for twenty minutes and I am perfectly capable of painting my own toenails thank you very much.
I completely understand. As a teenager I used to call them miniature dildos (much to the dismay of my very conservative Christian mother). I can never ever forget that they are there and eventually gave up trying over a decade ago. So I can’t go swimming for a few days a month. Oh well.
My husband recently said to me, “No offense, but you really need to stop trying to walk in high heels or at least practice more. You look like an ostrich trying to walk in mud.”
You just have to find the right shade. As a pale redhead, it took me years to find the right kinds of reds that created that va va voom effect without leaving me looking like Ronald McDonald. I found a long-lasting deep red (almost burgundy) from Maybelline, and a light red with a lot of pink in it from Clinique that…
Has anyone else ever unfollowed someone and then a few weeks or months later forgot why you unfollowed them? Then you go over to their page are instantly reminded of why you removed them from your news feed? I also do not follow my parents, which is a bit awkward when they asked if I saw something they posted (usually…
My biggest pet peeve are the constant animal pics with captions as if the dog/cat/bunny/squirrel is talking. “Oh, mom, can’t I go outside today?” Not funny usually. The problem is that it is only cute if it was occasional and the pictures all look exactly the same. I don’t care how cute your animal is, it isn’t like a…
My husband is like this. Never posts and has basically unfollowed everyone he knows except for three or so friends. It is a very interesting perspective, because I am almost the complete opposite. I genuinely do care about my friend’s lives and because I have lived in so many places, I have friends from all over the…
Please don’t lump all 2.2 billion Christians into one category. I know a lot of religious people who are appalled by this behavior too.
Look. If she was eighteen and had just left home for college or whatever, I would get her being upset. Not cool. But Lindsey is about to turn, what...29? She is a bit of a hoarder and it sounds like she decided to use her mother’s house as a storage unit. I understand, my in-laws are hoarders and now that they have…
If you don’t want your stuff sold, then go pick it up and put it in a storage unit or ship it to your home in England. Part of growing up is moving everything out of your parents’ house. Leave it behind and it is fair game for the Goodwill pile.
I chopped off my hair last November and my husband is absolutely in love with it. He complained about my hair all the time, but especially after having to pull chunks of it out of the backed up drain. My hair is my hair and I can do what I want with it, but he absolutely loves that it takes me 1/4 of the time to do it…
I feel bad for these people that become so sad and jaded. They came out of the woodwork when I got engaged. My own husband has been divorced (almost 13 years ago), and he tells me how very broken and depressed he was for the first couple years afterward. Some people never get over it. Even though he eventually healed,…
At my best friend's wedding there were five bridesmaids. One of the girl's could not get over the fact that although she wore a size 16 in most clothing, when she tried on the chosen bridesmaid dress, she was at least a size 20. Rather than buy the dress that fit her, she insisted on getting the size 16. "I'll just…
My very first job at sixteen was to work on the waitstaff for banquets at a local convention center. I had to wear a name tag and unfortunately, despite loving my unique name, it is also one that strippers go buy sometimes. (although at sixteen I was rather niave to this fact) Men used to ask me all the fucking time,…
My mother brought up this conversation last weekend which quickly took a turn toward the bigoted within a few minutes of it. Her take: Discriminating and denying services to LGBTQ people is not the same as people of color being denied services because (get this!), people can’t choose their skin color, but people DO…

I have body dysmorphia too! I think I am skinnier and hotter than I actually am. When I look in the mirror I see this curvy girl with a cute ass, perfect skin, and great boobs. (yeah, breast reduction!) Weirdly enough, I feel the best at the gym. I look in those mirrors in my workout clothes with my short hair clipped…
My mother was nineteen and unmarried when she found out she was pregnant. After getting over the initial panic she decided to have an abortion. A donut saved my life. She decided she was hungry so my parents stopped for a donut and then onto the abortion clinic. The woman at the desk asks, “Have you eaten anything in…
I have 11 nieces and nephews between three sibling (mine and husbands) and I absolutely adore them. I love buying them gifts and treats, going on little outings, answering all their questions...and then giving them back to their parents. One of my nieces (not to play favorites) is an absolute doll baby, adorable and…
