Trust me, something that most people don't know about me is that I'm trained and qualified to do CPR, AED, CERT, Childbirth and Advanced First Aid. I got my shit on lock.

It's not much of a horror story...

I'm starting by saying I'm sorry for insulting your loved one, but he is an idiot. Overweight lady here, almost fourty, six months pregnant. So big bad start here, but my baby is fine and as healthy as can be (all the tests say) and so am I. No high blood pressure, no G Diabetes, no pre-eclampsia. So it is possible…

don't forget the tear-stained tablecloth.

I imagine that some pro Darren Wilson fans are probably also Garth Brooks fans. This sends a pretty powerful message.

I just want to let everyone know that I neither pitched this, nor wrote about it.

It really is. Reminds me a bit of a comment someone made here after some asshat wrote an article blaming feminism for the Sandy Hook shooting, because no one would have been killed if there had been MEN on campus instead of all those useless women: "There was a man there. He was the one shooting all the children."

Let's consider the following:

Well at least she's claiming to be positive. My MIL has said some really nasty things to my husband, her son, that I have to take issue with. I guess I'm fortunate in that even when my parents were mad at me they never said deliberately hurtful things or made passive aggressive comments. He's taken to calling her out…

I'm just picturing him coming to America, showing up in the nearest restaurant, weeping copiously as he eats basket after basket of bread. Finally, he's eaten enough to rupture his stomach, and he turns to the server who is trying to comfort him in his last moments and says, "I ate all the bread. I. Ate. All. The.…

Good. I am so glad these students have adults there that are willing to help them stand up for what's right. It's never easy to do and it's especially not easy when you're a kid. I hope this momentum can continue.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THE TROLLS. Flag and dismiss, flag and dismiss.

my inlaws are hoarders. We discussed it with our pediatrician and they said our children could not visit when they were babies because their immune systems could not handle it, and when they were older there would still be too many hazards. So when we told them, they refused to speak to us( we said the could visit us…

My ex and I dated for 9 years, and were engaged. His mother was crazy. She had a shopping problem, and there were definite hoarding issues being kept at bay by his dad. One day I opened a cabinet that was entirely full of Jello boxes. Like, stuffed very neatly with as many as could possibly fit. There was stuff…

I would have spent the evening lovingly handwashing her brains off my sterling.

Didn't we break up with his country precisely so we could pardon our own turkeys without British interference?

My MIL will not return text messages I send to her and will instead message my husband. She insisted she and FIL would be at my Master's graduation, but didn't show up and didn't tell us they weren't coming until three days prior when my husband had to follow up with her because she didn't respond. She claims my…

I did an 80s themed fun run today and have to show off my homemade Rainbow Brite Costume:

I had meant for this to be my SNS post this week and when the time came, I forgot. Normally, I hate when people use public forums to mention random Kickstarter campaigns but hear me out on this one...
