I was fine. I was old enough (fortunately) to know he was being ridiculous. Since I HAD been a 2 or 4 for so long, I didn't face the ire until my 20's when I was firmly in a 'fuck off' mind set. What I really hope is that when my sister heard the story, somewhere inside of her, she recognized that meant the man was…

My dad said the exact same thing to my sister. Well, he said "Omar the Tent Maker". What. The. Fuck, indeed. I can't even tell you how sorry I am you also had to hear that. To me? When I was about 26 years old, 5'9" I had the audacity to balloon from a size four to a size six and he asked me why I'd gained weight and…

You've given me a mission.

PLEASE let the next Dr. Seuss parody porn be "Socks on Cocks".

Maybe that's what it was, but I remember that her, her husband who did the same diet, and my mom who did Nutrisystem all had the same emergency surgery and in each case the doc attributed the necessity to their diet patterns. I fully admit, I'm not totally in the know but my friend was like, yeah, no...maybe not the…

Yup. In my limited experience, losing your gall bladder is a common side affect of maybe-not-so-safe dieting (limited = this one friend, her husband who did the same diet, and my mom who did Nutrisystem in the dark ages).

I would like to go back in time so I can make friends with her and go to her wedding.

Then there is the story of my lovely, smart, wonderful, independent, professional friend who for some reason* went on a medically monitored juice fast for MONTHS before her wedding. Cut to wedding day, she was about 50lbs and 6oz lighter. That 6oz is my estimate of how much the gall bladder she lost due to the…

OMG, forgive me as I make this about me for a half a mo but your story reminded me of one of my own and I'm angry all over again. The very former boyfriend (whose final act was to give me 8 stitches in my head) said to me "how do I know your dad REALLLLY had an accident?" after I was going back and forth between the…

For the folks that aren't interested in hearing the moral reasons behind abolishing the death penalty, they should pay attention to the financial impact of our current system. My senior thesis in college (100 years ago in California) was about the actual cost of the death penalty to the states that have it. You'd…

Somewhere in response to someone else he accused my bf of being a pussy. Joke's on him because my man is NOT the kind of guy most folks would be comfortable rolling up on and calling a pussy. Being a kind, equal life partner does not take away from his badassery. Adds to it, imho.

Yeah. I was going to ignore due to that but the "trust me" was irresistible.

I am disinclined to trust an internet stranger over the man I've been in a loving, long term, live in relationship with.

Yeah, I do know how different it is but I had a brain fart for a moment. I appreciate the confirmation!

When my bf sent this to me last night he said "I find this incredibly insulting". We then went thru it line by line and before long we were both incredibly insulted. Good news is, we are much closer now than we were before!

Not in love with 'my' name but it can help me with dogs!

Saving this via screenshot!

Ha! Suddenly my dog is a Formula 1 driver :)

My takeaway from this video is that I'm totally naming my next dog with something Finnish. I think. Or whatever Scandinavian area from which they hail.

That's funny. I came here to say "all things Jodi Arias" which is weird because I've been a true crime buff since I was a little kid (oddly) even getting my degree in Crim Justice. But that story, for some reason, I specifically avoided.
