I would get so paranoid too, which is why I’m glad I have a Mirena and just get like a mini tiny version of a period. I have just enough of a half-cramp and spotting to let me know it tried to be a period. Then on the occasional time that it just skips a month I get super paranoid and take 3 pregnancy tests. You never…

This morning I was flipping through radio stations and some morning show is doing a March Madness style voting contest for old tv theme songs. This morning, the voting was between Carmen Sandiego and Family Feud. Somehow, Rockapella only won by 1 VOTE. A total embarrassment. In fairness I sort of assume that the only…

My “favorite” was when I was harassed shoveling snow. In a poofy snowsuit. With hat and scarf covering most of my face. I was surprised they could even tell I was a woman. (Bet we could all tell some pretty weird stories of this type!)

I’m youngish and have stuck with my flip phone for all these years (my current one is about 7 years old and going strong) largely because I’m very cheap and don’t need a fancy game machine. But goddamn it is annoying to have the same conversation over and over when people are surprised to see me using my phone in…

It took me a minute cause it’s a tough angle, but it’s a moose! With Aurora Borealis!

She was super untouchable and I loved the whole thing, and all its ballet nods. But since you mention her costume I just want to vent: I am not on board with tutus in figure skating. It kept flying up in the back and making her look like a chicken. Certainly didn’t disrupt her beast mode skating though!

I once saw Dion Phaneuf on the street and did a triple take at his monstrous hockey butt. I could barely stop staring at it to get a look at his face and identify him by jawline. It was impressive.

That is GLORIOUS.

1000% agreed. I don’t like the idea of going out to buy a sweater specifically made to be an ugly Christmas/holiday sweater. It’s supposed to just exist out in the wild!

HAHAHA. Fabulous. Education of all kinds for those kids.

Yup, I expect that is probably so, and everyone winds up being reported as such. Figured it was worth mentioning the functional distinction among a crowd who tends to care about such things!

Just gonna throw this out there cause I’ve visited Plimoth Plantation and this point was stressed. The people who work in the recreated Wampanoag site are not actors. They are Native people who demonstrate aspects of period Wampanoag culture and discuss history and tradition with visitors. Whereas the English Village…

So much LOL at “evil Winnie the Pooh.” That’s a vibe that I would be happy seeing in any annoying Disney remake.

Yeah, it bothers me a lot that almost the entire cast of the original are still around, yet only one voice was selected as indispensable. I think this is a major reason I dislike this notion of doing movie remakes one generation after the original was produced.   

His change in expression and in total persona at that moment was the pinnacle of the season for me. I had been kind of passively enjoying the show until Suddenly Evil Ted Danson put me in a happy place.

Of course it’s different for everyone, but with my Mirena, I have like a teeny mini period. I have maybe 30 seconds at most of cramping and I have a day or two of spotting. It’s like checking in just to say “yep, things are fine around here!” and getting the hell out of my way.

I went by myself too! I went during lunch break from work, ha. I guess I was quite lucky to feel fine enough to finish my work day. Didn’t mind a little comforting that night at home, but all told, I would totes be down for a girls’ IUD outing!

I have only encountered a former bully once, and it was one of the oddest experiences. She was certainly a bit rough on me in school, but there were worse bullies and ultimately I forgot about most of my interactions with her after graduation. After several years, I ended up hanging out with one of her siblings as a…

I’m a little surprised season 1 True Detective has hardly been mentioned. I thought that was great, though some people here apparently don’t care for a long intro.

I just read The Jungle for the first time recently, and I couldn’t believe how current a lot of the issues and themes are. I had to double check the publication date several times. I found it so bizarre and disheartening that our nation has apparently not progressed from some of those early 1900 standards.
