Born and raised in central AL, but have been out of it for years...lots of folks on this thread have good ideas. But what I’ll add is this - look up the Prancing Elites and watch “The Prancing Elites Project.” It’s a gender nonconforming dance crew of fierce Mobile citizens, and they are amazing. The show will help…

I moved to Birmingham this year on purpose. Alabama is the most biodiverse of the 50 states, and Mobile has been called the Amazon of the US. What happened in Alabama in the 1960s changed the world!

I’m sorry about your grandmother. It was so hard to lose mine. She was closer to me than my mother.

I’m so sorry about your grandma.

If getting dumped wasn’t bad enough, the emails back and forth about what went wrong were brutal, and only started because he wanted to stay friends but was all...boyfriendy about it.

If it gets bad just tell them you feel sick and need to go the hospital. Not a lie and the staff can’t tell them what’s wrong with you but they’ll take care of you anyways.

That’s ridiculous. What podunk place do you live in that they have time to do that?

Holy cow! That is a really big fine for a very inconsequential lie. Forgery makes The Man really nervous, though. Whoa!

I can’t believe he faxed it to the clerk. That’s some bullshit. Also, O_O

Back in 1971 when I was in 8th grade, I told my parents I was going to an Alice Cooper concert with a friend. When queried about the artist, I responded that “Alice did mellow folk music, like Judy Collins.” The next day, there on the front page of the Houston Post, was a pic of Alice in full makeup, shirtless,…

My lie cost me thousands.

And next year anybody who wears them will have to go through a door sideways.

I played Duck Hunt every night until I passed out.

What a great teacher! She probably knew how much it many to your self esteem and didn’t want to rub your nose in it. That weekend must have been so hard :)

It was second grade and we would get weekly progress reports that our parents had to sign every Friday and we would have to return them Monday. Every week I would get a smiley face for overall behavior and I was a little too proud of this. Until the week I was giggling at a joke during class my classmate told me in a…

I had a FANTASTIC night filled with amazing sex with a guy I met that very night at the Oktoberfest. Yep - young and reckless and it felt perfect.  The next morning, we were laying in bed with that post-sex glow. He whispered, “Bet you don’t even know my name, Marcia”. I said “Of course I do!!!” He said “ And that…

I remember lying to friends about having temporary injuries/disabilities when I was in... maybe middle school? Like, pretended to sprain my ankle badly one time, pretended to have gone temporarily blind another time?

I apologize for my aggression. Not sure if you are Canadian - but if not, the first version is an important part of our heritage. At that time, Canada was basically incapable of producing watchable dramatic television shows (other than Degrassi), so it was a big cultural moment. And Megan Follows is and will always be…

Aww she’s adorable and perfect. And no offense to the wonderful Meagan Follows, but this girl actually looks age appropriate for the role of Anne
