I spent close to $1000 for prom (in 2001) but most of that went to purchasing a set of enormous, beautiful black angel wings which I could totally wear again! (and you'd better believe I did)

That was all I could say too.

It was the same with a pack of Star Wars Wall Decals I bought for my (9 yo) daughter last year. She was really upset when she opened the pack and found that the Leia image was the "slave" version as opposed to the iconic white dress and buns or any other outfit. She refused to put it on her wall, and I was sad I…

I've seen someone go through this too, and it was SO sad. She was not even old, and fully KNEW and acknowledged that the relationship seemed like a scam, but she was so happy to be in love she refused to give up on it. She went thousands of dollars in debt for this stranger, flew to England with the intent of…

That's brutal. Sounds like it was a good call to just let it go at that. No point in repeatedly hitting a brick wall.

9/10 falafels are completely disgusting, but that 10th one...

I think this is a problem of your system (I'm assuming you're in the US?) In Canadian provinces that have regulated midwifes who can assist home births, infant deaths and other risks are lower in planned home births than hospital births. Midwives here have completed a 4 year Bachelor of Science - Midwifery and must…

I'm one of those annoying people who need to eat every 3-4 hours. If I don't I get cranky (at the least) light-headed and confused (at the worst). On the odd occasion that I fly I always pack snacks. Even if the flight is not that long, when you add in check in and security times, baggage pick up etc, I just can't…

I do have a couple of these doohickeys in the dryer, wonder if tennis balls would be any different...

I have as much luck trying to get dog hair out of fabrics. Interested to see the reply.

Really? So someone attends regularly, participates in parts of church life but doesn't give 10% of their earnings, but they don't count?

Someone should tell the people giving artist Haley Morris-Cafiero the cut eye that they are the uncool ones. Seeing this article and her project (posted on Sociological Images) on the same day is messing with my head.

Alright, STOP judging me alrea....oh, whoops. It's true, down time is important. I'll be the first to admit, these games are extremely asanine, but I enjoy them any way.

Because I spend enough of my day being productive. Sometimes I just want to space out on a mindless game.

They get me every time.

Ah, makes sense now. I couldn't think of any public transit where you would get that view of City Hall.

The wedding party had one less member than required to lift the brides skirt. Fortunately, this guy was walking down the street at just the right moment.
