“ the enormous bravery and sacrifice it takes to make an adoption plan for a child you’re unable to care for, for whatever reason.”

Hi Jezzies!

Not to mention that she kept going back to school, and keeping on the same track she was on before, there, even at the end of the episode. She wasn’t going to let her impending death stop her from pursuing something she decided to do after so long. She seemed so brave even then. She came off as more stoic and willing…

Betty did some growing up near the end. Going back to school, staring death right in the face and not flinching. I don't view her not wanting to do chemo as a weakness or vanity. She knew what she was up against and accepted her fate. With cancer treatment being close to barbaric at that time she knew her chances were…

You need someone to give you recipes for a wok? Good God, that’s only a step above using a toaster. And why you are incapable of looking up slow cooker recipes is beyond me. Wow.

Eh, I think if people have to travel for your wedding they’re 100% off the hook when it comes to buying a gift. Writing out a card is fine.

You sound like a real pill.

As someone whose research is somewhat related to this type of argument, men and women’s brains do seem to be different and there is a increasing volume of research that suggests that men and women solve mental tasks in different ways (not better or worse just different) and so it is entirely possible that one type of…

I don’t hate feral cats so much as I hate cat owners who let their precious babies roam the neighbor and piss and shit on everything.

I'm with you. I give cash at weddings. I received cash gifts at my own wedding. However, I did not feel entitled to gifts. We put aside money to feed and entertain our guests because we invited them to celebrate with us, not because we felt they owed us gifts. If I had to get married again and some friends and family…

I think in all scenarios, birthdays, holidays etc. gifts are a nice thought but should not be expected (yes even a wedding). Then to add conditions as to what type of gift you you want - fuck you.

Myriad labs in Utah doesn't hold the rights to the testing any more. In fact Quest labs offers a test now that is drastically cheaper than the Myriad one. A big, big issue with getting insurance to pay is having "enough" first degree relatives to warrant a test. My mother has it and so does a cousin of mine and her…

Wow, some of these replies to you are AWFUL. It sounds like you did nothing wrong, and handled the situation as well as anybody could be expected to. If other people brought up this guy's behavior, it's likely that there were pre-existing issues with his work or his interactions with other workers, not just the shirt…

I'm a bit late to the party but this was truly an epic meltdown which could have easily been my last.

To be fair to your boyfriend, flipping out over frozen yogurt like that IS kind of cray cray.

"When will the white community leaders stand up and condemn this epidemic of serial killers?"

Cause of death: gluten

The cause of their deaths, however, is not known at this time.

My sister's wedding:

I grew up in a very small town, so small it wasn't a town but a village. The kind of place where everyone knows everyone. The house next door was occupied by two elderly sisters. They were lovely and kind and we knew them affectionately as MeeMee and MawMaw. I loved their house, as they had an enormous collection of…
