I’ve gotten 5-7 migraines a week for the last 23 years and this article spoke to me on so many levels. I’ve finally started seeing a headache specialist (I didn’t even know such a thing existed until 6 months ago) and I always think it’s funny how every time I go in, they make me fill out a form that asks me how many…

My mom likes to tell me about her lunches for some reason, and every time, I want to be like ‘It’s no wonder you have so many personal problems with your coworkers. They hate you for stinking up the office with your broccoli and your brussels sprouts and your eggs.’

I work in a real office that has a pretty casual dress code, and there are SO MANY people who walk around barefoot or in just socks. Every couple of months, there’s a heated debate about whether or not it’s gross. My take on it is that if people want to walk around and get their own feet gross, that’s fine, but I’m…

Ughhhhhh, this is what drives me NUTS about the way my husband apologizes - it’s always something like ‘I’m sorry, and here are ten different ways this isn’t actually my fault.’ More that whatever he did, that kind of apology pisses me off. And he does it for everything from not taking out the trash to seriously…

My father was a professional driver his entire career - tractor trailer trucks. One time I was in the car with him and my sister, who was driving. He SCREAMED at her for taking her eyes off the road.......because she was checking her blind spot while changing lanes. Apparently, he had never heard of a blind spot and…

I was in Milwaukee with my sister last weekend and we were coming back to the hotel after dinner and this guy rushed to get on the elevator with us and immediately my spidey sense went off. He didn’t press a button for any floor. When the door opened at our floor, my sister and I got off, and I grabbed her and pulled…

I like Rye - I don’t want this dude living there either!

And where the fuck is ‘Ryan, NH’ anyway?

Good for identifying the attacker later, too!

How does one get trained to be a Land Surveyor? Is it something you’d have to start when you’re just starting out your life, or is it something that someone could career-switch into?

My sister was in line at the store the other day behind a woman who was complaining to the cashier about the ‘secularization of Halloween’.

I don’t know, I’m lactose intolerant and cheese seems to have the opposite effect on me.

Aren’t those potatoes in the header picture?

Exactly! And I think that addicts get thrown under the bus enough without shitty assholes like this implying that being a habitual rapist is an addiction. It’s just another thing in a long tradition of associating mental illness with criminal behavior.

Does it bother anyone else that there’s a pattern of publicly-outed rapists who apologize and say they’re going to check themselves into rehab (like Berru in the article and I think Harvey Weinstein said it recently too)? Maybe I don’t know enough about rehab (like is there rehab for rapists where they just berate the…

Putting aside the fact that my point was not that women can’t be sexist, but that there are a lot of Irish people who are very much pro-choice (hopefully enough to repeal the 8th), I still genuinely don’t understand where you’re getting this ridiculous fiction of Ireland as controlled by men who view women as baby…

Is your entire opinion of Ireland based on the fact that abortion is illegal there? Because the way you’re talking about Irish men makes me think that you’ve never actually met any.

And it sucks, because I totally remember the Xanth books being really fun and innocent (in comparison to some of the other available fantasy series at the time). I wish someone could rewrite them and take out all the gross stuff.

Same - I read all the Xanth books as a kid and loved them, and then I re-read a bunch of them (plus the Incarnations of Immortality and the Apprentice Adept ones) as an adult and I was suuuuuuuper grossed out by his depictions of literally anything related to gender and sex, and now I’m concerned about how much that…

Allow me to share my favorite ladybug horror story with you: because they’re so great at controlling less desirable bugs, you can buy ladybugs in mass quantities. One year when I was younger, a town up the coast from us bought and released a bajillion ladybugs. Unfortunately, you can’t control where they’ll end up,…
