There are three pet stores in my area. Two have no animals at all, and the third has kitties from the city shelter. To adopt, you still go through the shelter.

Eh, not everyone has space to store weights. Also sometimes it rains and it would be nice to have indoor workout space. I use the free gym at my work and run outside, but we’ve had crappy weather and my work gym isn’t convenient if I’m working from home. If there was a convenient Planet Fitness to me, I’d probably…

No. Children’s clothing buttons on the woman’s side, because like women, children were dressed by someone else.

If you’re shipping bees, you’re either shipping one queen or like 10000 bees. No one is shipping one worker bee.

I live in Maryland and I’ve never had to prove I had renter’s insurance to rent a place.

I’m a federal employee, and law prohibits our health plans from covering abortions. I know someone who discovered that their much-wanted child had a birth defect that would have resulted in his death in severe pain within hours of birth. They choose to spare their child that and have an abortion at about 20 weeks. It…

I was 19. I’ve spent about 15 months in Afghanistan since then and it’s hard for me to imagine how different my life would have been without 9/11. My father told me that 9/11 for my generation was like seeing JFK shot for his generation (he was 21 then).

Resting Zodiac killer face?

God, you could be me. I did only bleed one week a month, but I had to double up on tampons and pads and change my tampons about every 45 minutes, including at night, for two days. We had sex on towels but there’s still some blood on the mattress.

That vitamin D stuff is really interesting. I got quite large fibroids as a young white woman, and was asked whether I had any black ancestors, because my situation was quite unusual (not as far as I know, and since 7 of my great grandparents were European immigrants, it isn’t all that likely). I do have somewhat low…

Me too! I must have started with my fibroids at about 28, and finally had a da vinci myomectomy at 32. I went from using about 60 tampons a month, including about 35 Ultras, to using less than 10 all regular or super.

My cat used to do this. I honestly think she was just dumb and didn’t realize that just because her head was in the litter box, her butt might not be. I got a larger and differently shaped litter box and the problem seems to have gone away.

This is the only time I’ve seen it at Atlanta either, so it isn’t common there. Just, like, seriously, there were areas you couldn’t push through the crowds of people to get down the concourse level of crowded in that airport. Had there been a fire, hundreds of people would have died.

I was stuck in Atlanta for 27 hours trying to get to Baltimore. I finally got on standby a flight that was delayed by about 6 hours. Despite the fact that there were hundreds of people in the airport I met trying to get to the DC area, many of whom weren’t getting out till that night, the flight I was on went off…

I spent 27 hours at ATL Wed-Thurs and managed to snag a Hershey kiss and a can of Diet Coke. That was the only person we saw with free anything. Certainly no pizza was visible.

Eh, it depends. I lived in the UK a while back and twice had friends sleeping on my floor when their flights were canceled due to weather. The airlines didn’t have to pay for hotels in “extraordinary weather conditions”. The initial 5 hour ground stop that began this giant clusterfuck likely would have qualified as…

I grew up in this district, my parents still live there, and I am flying down there tomorrow to visit. The race has been all over my facebook feed and I am pretty excited about it. My mother is pretty conservative, and my dad more liberal, but they both hate Trump so I’m hoping they are considering Ossoff.

I have the SallieMae card that gives you 5% on groceries, gas, and Amazon with no annual fee. Sadly it is no longer available for new cardholders I think.

My husband’s mother is the same way. He still goes “shopping” at her house every holiday.

I’ve had a blood clot and have a latex allergy. I also had fibroids which led to insanely heavy bleeding. I’ve had them removed, but no way in hell am I risking a copper IUD. My BC options are basically non-latex condoms and pulling out. We’ve used both, and I haven’t gotten pregnant yet.
