Right because here’s the thing:

Thank you. By all accounts, she was a terrific woman and I am beyond grateful for the way she raised her youngest son.

Yeah, that’s how my husband feels. I wish I could just have 20 minutes with her so we could vent together about how much of a picky eater he was and still is. I’m so sorry for your (and your wife’s) loss.

I was going to say basically the exact same thing. My husband and I had a TERRIBLE first date and only had a second date because I had an extra ticket to a baseball game. Then we dated on and off for several drama-filled years before we both grew up a little, settled down, and finally got married 8 years after we met.

I feel you. We did the long distance thing for the first 4-5 years and it is SUPER hard, but also I feel like it really helped us learn to communicate clearly over just about every medium. I hope you live closer soon (if that’s what you both want. No shame if you really enjoy having your own space, because I feel that…

Exactly. I hope in my final days, I’m not thinking about how I loved my husband despite the fact that the dude has the shittiest memory ever and needs to be constantly reminded of things. I hope I think about the way he looked at me while we were doing our “first dance” at our wedding (a moment he hopefully also…

I would also like some applause. Peed in a urinal in high school because we broke into the teachers’ lounge, which very oddly had a urinal in it (looked pretty unused) (also, by urinal, I mean it was really just a trough with a drain, making aim a moot point) (also, also, breaking into the teachers’ lounge seemed like…

Same (although we don’t want children, so I don’t worry about that part). We were married in July, we dated for 8 years before that. Our relationship is good to great 99% of the time, but I constantly worry something will go wrong. Case in point, we just got an email from a family member that he and his wife of 17…

Ha definitely not! Connecticut is where sex goes to die. Usually what it meant for me was getting an expensive pizza and eating it by myself on the beach.

As someone who used to babysit rich kids in CT, I agree. They don’t know any different. Everyone else involved in their lives is rich or help and kids don’t assume the help is poor. Even the moms would forget sometimes and give me some time off to “hang with my friends” while we were on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard…

For leaving an IUD inside of her while she was pregnant. Leaving an IUD in could cause a spontaneous abortion and/or premature birth.

I’m sorry you had that experience. If it was Paragard (the copper IUD), your doctor should have told you that the most common side effect is heavier, longer periods (per their website). Not all IUDs are made equal and Mirena is actually indicated to help reduce heavy periods. If you’re interested in hormonal birth…

I’m not angry with you. I just think it’s unhelpful to say in a public forum that IUDs aren’t effective based on your singular experience. The purpose of clinical trials and post-marketing studies is to prove the effectiveness of the drugs and devices used for medical purposes. If we used one person’s story as a…

1. Sorry, there’s no way your OB-GYN kept your IUD in once you discovered you were pregnant. If he/she did, you need to report them to the medical board and you should also consider suing for malpractice.

Also, not everyone has matching head and eyebrow hair naturally. I have red hair on my head and brown eyebrows. Also, also, dying your eyebrows can be really dangerous, not to mention it seems like a major pain in the ass because that hair would need to be dyed more regularly.

I can’t tell your tone, so if you’re trying to make fun of me for being a little bummed, cool I guess.

YESSSSS! This.

Seems like I’m the only one who is sad about this (but also in full disclosure, I work very close to this store and almost never go in). I don’t really care about Macy’s as a company (although I did intern there and they seemed to really treat their executive employees well), but that store has so much NYC history and…

And don’t forget Hudson’s Bay 4th of July fireworks

Had a similar thought — that all the people with guns are the asshats who wear their MAGA hats with pride (while losing their factory job AND the ACA healthcare they depend on). We’ll just have to fight with the tools we have, intelligence and humor.
