It’s rhyming slang. Yank = septic tank = seppo.

Yeah, I was 31 when I married, and I really felt like my name was my identity. It’s also awesome, so awesome that one of my husband’s brothers suggested that he take my name. We’ve each kept our own names, and kids will have his name. For me it was never about fairness or my name carrying on, or any of that. It was…

There’s a scene in Spanglish where the daughter (who is treated horribly by her mother for her weight) is in the pool in a T-shirt. I saw the movie with my own mother, and we didn’t have the best relationship about my weight. Afterwards she asked me if she was that terrible to me, and I couldn’t answer.

I was required to insert the probe myself (I think I had about 3). I think it was facility policy.

We use Skyn condoms and female condoms. I don’t know if I have a latex allergy, but I’ve had breakouts from bandaids, and I was finding latex condoms uncomfortable in a drying, kind of itchy way.

My husband and I use condoms also. I like female condoms a lot, but I guess having to aim causes him some anxiety, so we usually stick to male condoms.

It’s nuts that they would consider sending you home, in my opinion. They considered keeping me for a small clot in my gastroc, and I wasn’t even really in pain by then. I hope there’s a new resident now who is actually helpful to you, and maybe your primary can be reached by phone today?

This behavior drives me crazy when I am healthy, I can’t even imagine dealing with it while sick. My husband ate dinner before we lived together, but as soon as we moved in together, he has no idea what he wants for dinner ever.

Yeah, our cat is the same. Sometimes you're in the mood for carpet, sometimes for cardboard.

I didn't love this book, exactly, though I thought it was interesting. The ending, however, totally destroyed me. I didn't realize how much I cared until the end.

Kale chips get all soggy really quickly. I make kale pesto to preserve my kale. It keeps in the fridge for a few weeks and can freeze. I then spread it on sandwiches to pretend like I am eating veggies. You just need nuts, olive oil, kale, and a food processor.

A conversation with a coworker:

My sister had one and was thrilled. She wanted to go down to a B cup, but the surgeon really pushed hard for her to go to a C instead (she's tiny framed, so I want to say this was like a 28C, so her new boobs were still pretty small). That was the right choice for her, so listening to your surgeon on size if you do…

Could he possibly do everything else around the house but cleaning? Like, you clean, he does laundry, groceries, cooks, everything else required to have a grown-up house? In your position I would have shoved a toilet brush down his throat already.

And post offices!

I was given some PJ pants by someone who died 10 years ago. Last year I split them right on the crotch seam. I had a mini-freakout, then continued to wear them for a couple months (only in the house!). And finally I was able to get rid of them.

So I don't have much to do at work right now, and I've spent a lot of my days reading wikipedia articles about serial killers. My wikipedia research totally backs up this study. Basically all the women there are "Angels of Mercy", women who poisoned like six husbands for insurance money, or baby farmers.

My husband's family was middle-middle class and my family was more like upper middle class There are definitely some differences. My husband was in his mid-teens his first time on a plane and I was a baby. A couple of his siblings are pretty seriously brilliant, but applying to an Ivy or another top tier private…

I'd always assumed I would buy used, but when I last bought a car, I looked for what I wanted. If I did CarMax, there were cars like I was looking for with 50K miles for $13K or brand new cars for $17K. Since I had the money, new, with warranty, really seemed like the obvious choice. If I could have found used with…
