Thats because its everything on the Jethro's menu on a bun with waffle fries. Doesnt make it GOOD. Its just a lot of food that fatty's/greedy's try to pig into their gobs in under 15 minutes.

yeah.....nah. When I first came to the states, I had my first ever BBQ experience at a place called Bear's Smokehouse in Hartford, Conneticut. It spoiled me for all other BBQ because it is the most glorious shit on the planet. Then I came to Des Moines, had some Jethro's and .......meh. I mean, its *good*, but its…

My mum is from Australia and my dad is from New Zealand. They both have three brothers. At my brother's wedding, my mum's youngest brother was a dick to me cos I drank one of the beers he brought for himself (to the wedding.....at a winery). Whilst I was drunkenly yelling at him for being a dick, my dad's younger…

or, however many have read this now :/ potato/potarto

I said we were "together" at the time (and used quotation marks). So the interviewer goes "yeah, ok. But where were you?" so I said again "well, we were alone and *giggle giggle* "together" " Husband meanwhile thinks the whole thing is hilarious.

they ask that. I didnt know that they asked that until I'm face to face with a sweet midwesterner at the counter of the immigration department at the US embassay in Sydney. I have to say the FUNNEST part of the whole experience is you dont have your interview in a private room (as I was expecting). On one side of the…

my husband asked me while we were having sex. PIV sex.

I HATE HATE HATE that we need the wrath of the internet before any sort of action is taken by large bodies- corporations, governing bodies, what have you. Its sick that this song was being sung and that "allegedly" everyone connected to the fraternity knew about it. I know we all say it, but its 2015 FFS! At least its…

how do you figure?

best. argument. ever. I enjoy the bit where they wanted to see an entire list of evo psych papers you'd read then said they had no experience with either psychology OR working with people!!! Also that the partner is a student who has worked with MD's/PHD's and "the quality caries". What a douche.

Strongly disagree. Its like if, as a builder, you go do some work for someone who then gives you the run-around in terms of payment and attempts to negotiate with you, saying that they'll tell all of their friends about you in lieu of actual money. So, you go to all your builder mates and say "yeah, this person is the…

im so sorry for all of that. They have no role to guilt you into making decisions about your future based on your past. I fully support your decision to not have your dad there. My wedding was very sparse guest wise (as in, no one was invited. It was me, husband, celebrant, teen photographer and a tall skinny lounge…

seeing as i was someone who jumped down your throat because of the hissy, i will honestly say that post-hissy, you have handled yourself extremely well. And i apologise if my words hurt you or added to the desire to walk away from PTQ. I think both sides threw around words that maybe (and in my case, SHOULD have) been…

true. what bastards. Its like those arseholes that blame the travellers inability to predict a funeral as an excuse not to change dates on plane tickets.

"3 Second Rule" has been a favorite song of my friend Chanelle for about three years now. She also does an excellent track "Coffee or Tea" which also helps you unpack complex relationship dramas.

Midwestern Food Sensibilities- Mac and Cheese and burgers are available at EVERY restaurant, regardless of the style (the only varient on this in Des Moines is ONE Vietnamese place, and the Chinese take away joints).

who are you nutbar?

I GOT HIT ON WHEN I WAS SHOWING PREGNANT AT A GAS STATION!!! I stopped off there for a drink on my way to work one morning, and some drunky came up to me asking what i was doing that day (going to work), if i wanted to hang out (no), if i was seeing someone (im pregnant), did i say i was working because im really…

I made some spaghetti bolognaise at my mum's house and took a bowl of it down to the cafe that was on the corner of her street where THE HOTTEST BARISTA IN THE WORLD™ worked. I had obviously talked to him before so it wasnt entirely weird. He took the bowl, said thanks, then asked for my number so he could "give back…
