Ah man, that made me laugh out loud! I get where he's coming from, I can cook all sorts of things, but have NEVER made Rice Krispie squares.

I had read recipes for baking soda added to cleanser for pore-minimizing. This hasn't minimized the size of my pores, but it has certainly helped to clear them. I would often get little red pimples on my cheeks, right beside my nose, and now, nothing. It is a nice, gentle exfoliant. I keep it in a little waterproof

I think it's a great idea to write down what you want to say to him and give it to him, or read it to him. I understand completely, sometimes things you want to say fly right out of your head in person. Write it out, edit as much as you want, but make sure you are getting your meaning across. You are not making a

Two months ago I began washing my face in the shower with a mix of coconut oil and baking soda, and I don't moisturize afterward. In the spring i'll begin wearing some sunblock, but for now the coconut oil leaves my face soft, clear, and not at all oily. I have no intention to stop anytime soon. I also haven't had any

Hi boosegoose.

I'd argue that wanting to replicate yourself for posterity is narcissistic as well.

Well, I have always thought that writing letters and not sending them was cathartic, I definitely see the value in it. I didn't do this with my ex, because I don't want to go down that emotional roller coaster again. I have a mental list called "Dodged That Bullet," of shitty things about him which I recall

That looks and sounds delicious, and I like you ;)

No making fun. That sounds like it will be a tense holiday. You come to GT anytime you need to get away. I don't post often, but I am there a few times a day, a lot of people are. Take it easy.

Goodness gracious, I hope to heck that he improves soon. The Doctors will not try to lead you in the wrong direction. I hope that you get some peace of mind for Christmas, my thoughts are with you.

I think that often. I didn't even know about them until '99, too late.

I absolutely love that TITS is your term of endearment. If I wasn't a high school teacher, i'd use that all day long!

English teacher here! I would love to do the cheese prompt, and I also think the suicide note is a neat idea, but in more of a "who do you value; who is important in your life" kind of way rather than the "apologize for your flaws" kind of way.

It's been a long time since we had sloths around these parts :(

Holy crap, i've never actually seen/read her before, but I followed the link below, and it's provided a ton of entertaining reading! Yikes!

They almost had me until "who has such many casual photos?"

I LOVE this book. As an English major and current English teacher, I read it completely for pleasure, and I read it literally without thinking about the alternative meaning, and absolutely loved it. Later a friend of mine who had read it for a university class told me what the deeper meaning was, and it just killed

I am a high school teacher, and my thinking and concentrating faces both include frowning, and I often have kids say, "Ms. Appletini! Why are you glaring at us?" I don't even know i'm doing it, but I furrow my brow constantly, and it is actually kind of tiring. I wish there was some non-hypodermic method of Botox or

I absolutely adore her. Have you seen Camp? It used to be on Netflix but was gone the last time I checked. So great, man can that girl sing.

I thought the same thing, but it was at the exact same time as Rich was typing- I'd like to think that it was just the sound of the keystrokes timed with Tracie's chewing.
