I can’t think of any good stories off the top of my head, but as someone who was 5-6 years older than the other freshmen when I started college, I feel you. After orientation, I overheard this conversation in the bathroom:

So I’m a few weeks into my college career (as an older student. Not the oldest person in my class but on the older end of the spectrum) and I’m totally loving it but I can’t believe how annoying some of my classmates are! Pretentious blowhards, people that think they’re geniuses and love to hear themselves talk and…

The nausea, exhaustion, and dizziness sounds like dehydration. Did you chug Gatorade post-hike? I’d say to chug more now, especially if you still aren’t feeling 100%.

Every spring, I try on a long, flowy, bohemian peasant dress. And every year I don’t buy one because it’s too expensive, and I’m not sure it won’t look stupid on my very short, stocky frame. I tried one on today, and as I was hemming and hawing over it, the salesgirl shook her head and said, “no, not for you.” She…

Despite what people say, you should NOT eat it.

Where I used to live there was a guy who maintained two wives/families, for decades, and no one ever found out. It came out only when he confessed on his deathbed (guess it’s a cliche for a reason). In that case it worked because he was a long distance haul truck driver. He really WAS gone half the time.

I watched The Babadook a couple of days ago...and it is amazing! There is a severe lack of good horror out there, so any time I can find one, I latch on to it for dear life.

I’m pretty sure you aren’t supposed to tell people you’re in witness protection. That’s like going into a bar and telling people you’re a spy.

1. Seems it did raise red flags which was why she was investigating his facebook page. It’s not impossible she suspected something before but didn’t have the evidence she needed. She may have even talked her self (perhaps with his assistance) into thinking she was being paranoid or overly jealous.

I hate that “honor code” where nobody’s supposed to tell anybody that anybody’s cheating.

Something very similar happened to a childhood friend of mine minus the witness protection program. The husband was with the other woman while my friend was at work and then one day my friend searched for her husband in Facebook and found him “in a relationship” with another woman. His family knew and they never told…

My favorite part of this story: the Benedictine Nuns who are my friends, my mother’s co-workers, my fellow parishioners.... want to know what they did when they received the “survey”/ acceptance of a Vatican visit?

I am so sick of priestly bullshit. I am a practicing catholic but cannot stand the patriarchy of it all. I worked in a seminary where my boss was a nun. She was the toughest and sweetest person I have ever known. The bullshit was that she ran the seminary but the head priest got all the accolades and money. She drove…

I am sorry that was your experience. My grade school nuns/teachers were kind of awful. But high school nuns were much better and very progressive. If you weren’t already a feminist when you went in, you sure as hell were one when you graduated. There was some hypocrites, especially amongst the older nuns, but overall,…

This is delicious, particularly if you know any asshole conservative catholics and even more particularly if you know any asshole convert conservative catholics. If you dont, you can google for some blogs, but i wouldn’t recommend it.

Cool Pope was just afraid they were going to break out the

Best blog of the year already.
