I was vegetarian for about six years, and you learn to be paranoid. I can't tell you how many times I would ask about a dish, be told it had no meat, and recieve something with chicken broth or bacon bits.

There is nothing more tacky than a cash bar at a wedding. Every member of my family did it and I was completely horrified. No. Just no. You either suck it up and pay the tab, don't have a bar at all, or come up with another solution (my wife and I opted for beer, wine and champagne in order to keep the cost reasonable…

"he got down on one knee, and asked little Courtney if she would take him as her Daddy, then gave her a ring and told her he would take her as his little girl. It was so sincere and lovely."

I totally remember this and was saying to my husband the other day, "I remember when VH1 was nothing but pop up video and unplugged performances of people I didn't know."

Remember when VH1 was the classy music channel your parents watched because Mom loved Jon Secada?

I am such an "it depends" person.

We went to a wedding of young friends (22 and 23 yr old — we are 38 and 42), and it was very family focused and a lot of fun. The ceremony was at the beach, then we went to this funky town-hall and it was decorated with home made pinwheels and that paper-flag bunting. They went to the…

I'm an old person, and I continue to be amazed at the kid-intolerance demonstrated by the youngsters today.

I read these stories and I wonder why so many people are opposed to joining a trade union and fighting for better terms and conditions.

Hey, Good Christians! Any plans to distance yourselves from the social conservatives who make these disasters happen?

I never ever ever should comment on religion. I never ever should. But just this once, I have to say, that there are jerks everywhere, and there are idiots everywhere, and those idiot jerks will use whatever justification they have to keep on being idiot jerks. These parents believed their religion gave them a reason…

Fuck her, definitely, but let's not consign the whole religion to be fucked too please. We are not all jerks, you just mostly hear from the jerks.

Until you got to the part about Indiana, I was certain we were from the same town. This is a thing that happened in my hometown in northeast TN as well. So fucked up. SO fucked up. I live in a major city now and I'm. Never. Going. Back. I love my parents but they can't grasp why I won't come home. The white, cis,…

Well, there is a history of psychosomatic illnesses being associated with women and there is a lot to unpack there. How much of it is women being gaslighted by physicians? How much is related to stress and socialization? Etc. Etc.

ARGGGGGH! My mother chastised me today for liking pro women's health/pro choice or progressive posts on Facebook. She is "afraid everyone she knows will see them" because they pop up on her news feed. And then tonight, on my news feed on Facebook, a woman with whom I am quite friendly with at work, but also with…

As much as I love my family, I am so happy to be home in my house where I can hermit and introvert to my heart's content. Ahhh!

My husband has been really grouchy lately. I told him to take a personal day. He drove my car into the mountains and I stayed home with my almost three year old and my almost one month old baby.

What I find especially humorous is that the people who complain about Starbucks coffee (mediocre) are often those who then sing the praises of Dunkin Donuts coffee (downright shitty. How do your make coffee sour?)

A shocking number of guys think this is a legit pickup technique. PUA's call it "negging" and I guess it does work when properly applied, but unfortunately most of the people doing it don't understand it and/or are terrible at it.

Did you tell him he could find it tucked into the JD Salinger novel he crawled out of?
