Forwarding to my mom, who is pretty much the target audience for these scams. She ‘knows how to use a computer’ and ‘doesn’t understand how she keeps getting viruses’.

Have a star for my all-time favorite fish!

In general, I love the Lip Whips, but I still have the same problem with them as I do with all the other liquid lipsticks I’ve tried - after less than an hour of wear, they wear off the inner part of my lips where the skin is slightly different. If you’re like me and that part of your lips shows a bit when your mouth…

Oh my god, that’s awful! I feel like there should be topic exemptions to targeted advertising - like, if someone is googling something like that, it’s probably because they’re expecting to have to deal with the death of a pet soon, so not a good thing to constantly remind them of it.

You should look into at-home euthanasia services if there are any near you. I had never heard of such a thing until I saw a booth at the local Dog Fest last summer. My dog is approaching 16 and has dementia so I took their brochure, which also has a really helpful Quality of Life thingie for helping you know when it’s…

I always heard that putting them in the freezer or fridge for a certain amount of time was the nicest way to kill them. I see the part about numbing them before killing them in the article, but I’m wondering about actually using cold to do the killing part.

I went for a massage yesterday and the poor relaxing spa music couldn’t compete with the fact that the gym next door was blasting ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ (which, why?) and it made my massage experience 1000% less relaxing.

Plus, wasn’t there recently a study where they found that tails are so important for canine communication that dogs with docked tails are at a social disadvantage?

I’m so glad it’s not just me! Like, I definitely love my husband, and it was a pleasant surprise, but part of me misses that sweet, sweet single independence and freedom.

I’m married to a dude, but I’m pretty sure that if we ever split up, that will be my last hetero partnership. Sometimes I think wistfully about what it’s like to have both partners performing their share of the emotional labor.

Same here. Actually, I vaguely remember some stat that divorced men get remarried at a much higher rate than divorced women.

Is your mom my mom? I swear, my mom has tried to teach me the family fudge recipe a dozen times, and I never manage to get the ‘soft ball’ thing right, and I can see the disappointment as she tells me how this recipe will die with her.

Oh, I never even thought of that. I was thinking of signing up for pole dancing classes, but I might have to reconsider - the outsides of my hips/thighs are suuuper tender & prone to bruising.

I feel legitimately betrayed by the universe that his diet and lack of exercise haven’t killed him. Like, if I lived like he does, I’d have scurvy or something and would die by age 30. It’s not fair.

These are all lovely, but that ‘Impressions of Autumn’ one is bothering me in the same way that lotus seed pods and those frogs with the holes on their backs do. *shudder*

To add on to #7 - at least pretend that this is the job you want to be doing. I do some preliminary interviews for the company I work for (we don’t do cover letters, so the phone interview fulfills that function), and I keep getting applicants whose resumes scream out ‘I’m having a hard time getting a job in my chosen…

Now I’m jealous - best I’ve got is Father Divine.

...do you pronounce it ‘fack’?

I’m with you. I hate how subjective mascaras are - it means I can’t trust any of the reviews, because every single mascara that isn’t Clump Crusher that I’ve ever tried, including some that I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of money on, has left me looking like I have spiders on my eyes.

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…
