My dad mentioned to my mom one day privately that I was “busting out”. The following day The Old Bear convened a brief meeting wherein the main topic was “making boys rue the day”. He showed me several different things including my favorite the gut/nut punch combo.

Unfortunately, it’s more like, “you go, security camera!!!” Because if it was just her word against his, we would not have heard a thing about this. I guess there are some upsides to Big Brother’s surveillance state.

As men lined up to explain on Madeline Davies “Becoming Ugly” article, sexually assaulting women is harmless. Hurting a man’s balls, on the other hand, is evil incarnate.

To be fair, the only thing she stole from the podiatrist’s website was footnotes.

I cannot wrap my head around the notion of having to worry about money when sick. My husband was offered a position with his company, but he’d have to move to the US. We were both a hard no. There was no pay increase that would cover navigating that health care system.

In the last twelve months, I have had the following:
*nerve test + neurologist evaluation for MS, strokes, etc
*breathing test
*rheumatologist appointment
*several GP appointments for pain, nerve issues, whooping cough, allergies, and medication reaction

If your daughter is watching you defend a misogynistic shitbag dumpster fire on national tv, you’ve got bigger problems going than her hearing the word “pussy”.

If you don’t want your daughter to hear the word “pussy” maybe don’t let her watch the segment where you’re defending Donald Trump bragging about grabbing women by the pussy. That’s like going on Twitter on a Sunday night and complaining about Game of Thrones spoilers.

I have had to help my parents clean their computer up so many times. My mom never knows “how all those viruses get on there!” One time my dad accidentally changed the home page to a porn site (of course he did), and I had to switch it back to Google. My mom blames the “virus companies” because of course she does.

Took a swimming class at the park district, age 13, basically a frizzy ball of embarrassment who’d sprouted C-D cups basically overnight. The teachers were gorgeous hunks from the high school. My swimsuit, some secondhand POS that my mom had scrounged. One-shoulder, with a tie fastening on that one shoulder.

Oh shit. Your neighbor was the tooth fairy!

My birthday potluck was a success and everyone had a great time so suck it Kara ;) I’m hoping 30 is everything everyone has told me it will be. I'm working on not freaking out about things I can't control and just being in the present. Not worrying so much about the past or the future. I was terrified of turning 30…

And these are only the incidents that we hear about, because they happen to media-savvy people with access to publicity. Imagine how many times it happens that we never hear about.
