I dunno man, I just can't get over the perma-wedgie feeling you get with a thong. But I've got kind of a big booty, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Me too... I got a low-paying job right out of college in a field that requires work-a-holic dedication to succeed (newspaper reporting). Though it was what I thought I wanted and I had dreams of climbing the ladder, I burned out quickly over 5 years and realized what I wanted more than reporting awards and yet another…

HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN TO A PERSON? I shouldn't have watched that.

My routine was usually a lot similar, but PRO-TIP: If you're not TOO drunk, take the Emergency-C the night before! I moved to New Orleans right after college and basically spent a few years obliterating my liver, and one of my greatest discoveries was drinking a Big-Gulp sized glass of water + two Emergency-Cs…

Totally. My mom (a nurse) always gave it to me as a kid when I had a bad case of the barfs. I switched to lemon-lime gatorade for awhile as an adult, but during a particularly heinous stomach flu I noticed it was making my stomach crampy and my mom said gatorade is actually too acidic to drink when you've got a…

I think some times the level of intellectual navel-gazing in his novels can get to be too much for people. It's like you crawl into the navel and live there for the length of a 1,000-page book.

There's a couple of scenarios. I'm guessing they're either roaming neighborhood cats that are owned by someone near you (which is pretty common in rural southern places) or lost/abandoned indoor cats. Are they well-groomed? Do they look well-fed? Even if they don't have a collar they may be owned by someone. I've had…

I don't know... most of the news articles I read talked about the BRCA gene... are you talking about like, celebrity mags? I also seriously doubt someone would get a double mastectomy without a serious discussion with their doctor about their risk just because Angie did it.

Odd. I love that my boyfriend loves cats. If anything, I turned him into MORE of a cat person because he had only had outside cats and was used to cats being standoffish, and never realized how fun it is to have a spoiled, snuggly indoor cat.

My boyfriend's grandpa caught C Diff. in his nursing home... it was incredibly scary to watch what it did to him. He's not in the best shape anymore but he went from being a pretty stocky old guy who got around alright to nearly dying in just a few months because it just kept coming back over and over again. He lost…

Dude. Me too. I've lived with my boyfriend for 5 years and everyone is beginning to prod us with the wedding stuff but sweet lord I do not want to have a wedding. I also never fantasized about my wedding, have no interest in planning a giant party for myself and am the kind of person who hates to be the center of…

Kinda sucks, I'd like to use the word partner but you just aired all the reasons I'm fearful to... I've lived with my boyfriend for 5 years, we share bills/property but we're not married yet for financial/life reasons (I was underemployed until recently, he went back to school to get a better job) but I struggle with…

It is a terrible and easy trap to fall in to. It's definitely embarrassing to think about all the dudes I LURVED because of their combination of outward dickishness/occasional tenderness. Sure he's rude and likes to taunt me and challenge my intellect so that he always seems smarter than me but HE LOVES ME DEEP…

I saw this episode... it was one of those ones where the people were actually more like collectors who went over the edge into hoarding than the scary "I live on a giant trash heap" hoarders. The issue was that they were both adults with no jobs who lived in an old porn shop just spending all their time collecting…

I had a hard time with it too. I was surprised at how graphic/sadistic it was, especially for a network show.

True, it is definitely easier to explain than something like that. Though I feel like people are always inclined to challenge food restrictions, whatever they may be. I get a lot of people telling me stories about relatives who kept eating shellfish even though they were allergic and eventually got desensitized.…

I think there's a difference between having aversions and being picky... there are a few common things I don't eat if I don't have to (raw onions, yellow mustard) because I find them kind of repulsive, but I don't let it stop me from trying new things and, worse case scenario, if it offends me, I'll pick around it. I…

Yeah. I have a crappy dietary restriction that isn't really a choice (allergic to shellfish) but makes me a food pariah down here in south Louisiana, so a lot of places I just don't eat. It can be awkward sometimes because people are very gracious hosts, but I don't want to make people go out of their way, and a lot…

I grew up in the 80s/90s, but we had like, 6 Ashleys and 3 Amandas in my grade of 40 kids alone (small town). I was never a big fan of my name (my parents named me Nicole, I go by Nikki) but I got to give them credit for picking something normal but at least somewhat off trend. I only run into another Nicole or…

Might as well go epic if you're going to go off the wall. I know two people with crazy names. One is named "Grasshopper" and the other is named "Lion Heart." Guess which one I'd pick....
