I dunno man. I have a high waist too but that's exactly why I hate high-waisted pants. I end up looking more Steve Urkel than Katherine Hepburn. I don't want my boobs sitting right on top of where my pants end. Maybe it doesn't help that I'm also very tall and big hipped.

CASA is awesome! It's a nonprofit program called Court Appointed Special Advocates. In my area, each county/parish has its own office. Adults are trained to represent children who have been separated from their families due to abuse and neglect to act as an independent legal representative for the child. They spend…

Same here. My husband's grandpa got C. Diff and it nearly killed him — we got called to his bedside because the doctors were so sure he was going to pass. He still hasn't fully recovered from what it did to his body. A year ago, he was pretty healthy for a 78 year old dude, a big old stocky cranky old guy living in a…

I got a feather from a feather pillow lodged against my ear drum as a child. It was horrible and I've been phobic about having stuff stuck in my ear ever since. THIS IS MY NIGHTMARE.

I usually have a pretty strong stomach, but I was able to look at about two stills from these videos before I had to hastily scroll to the bottom of the page to avoid retching up my afternoon Diet Dr. Pepper on my desk.

It's like Netflix is trying to sabotage my relationship with this nefarious Valentine's Day release of House of Cards. My boyfriend LOVES House of Cards but he works at a high-end "romantic" restaurant so he's going to be working pretty much non-stop this weekend. I jokingly said that I might enjoy my Valentine's Day…

Yeah... when an entire limb swells and radiates heat its probably time to see a doctor. The same thing happened to my mom after our cat bit her, except it was her whole arm. She had to take some heavy-duty antibiotics to clear it up. To this day, it was some of the most impressive swelling I've ever seen. She's kind…

I could aaaallllmost make it past the vagina armpits okay but he definitely lost me at smelling the butthole finger. Nope.

Finally, a marriage proposal trend I can get behind. However, I would also get all these doggies together in a closed room, let them off the leash, and enjoy a cuddly puppy swarm.

Well, the story says they were with their owners, so hopefully that is taken care of.

So.... it's like a crackerjack box for ladies who love Scentsy?

Great. They're terrible for the environment. They can invade the bodies of even the smallest aquatic critters and get ingested or get stuck in tissues. What asshole was like: "We need more tiny pieces of plastic in our water supply — let's put it in soaps!"

My parents have a seasonally-appropriate story: They met in Boston after a blizzard when my dad was shoveling his car out of the snow. He was using a really tiny, crappy shovel and wasn't getting anywhere, and my mom, who is from Minnesota, made fun of his tiny shovel and offered to help with her much bigger shovel.…

I was drunk and angry at my friends and stormed out of a bar to sit outside and smoke and stew in my feelings. My (future) boyfriend was walking into the same bar with friends and somehow thought I looked cute smoking angrily alone outside (of a bar that allowed smoking, no less). Despite having severe asthma, he…

Sadly, when my boyfriend really gets going, he snores loud enough to hear through earplugs.

I think it really depends on your body type. I could never realistically be that skinny, but I'm also bigger than most people. I'm 5'9 and just have a kind of larger overall stature. I had an eating disorder years ago and the lowest I ever got was a size 7/8. Most people would consider that "average" but my pelvic…

Where from near Houma? I worked for the newspapers in Houma and Thibodaux for a few years starting in 2007. I actually got to cover a bit of the Ronald Dominque case. Sometimes I wonder about the violent crime in this part of the world. For such a small area some horrible shit happens here. Just a couple of years ago,…

I know visiting the Alamo and battling hoards of tourists on the Riverwalk always get me in the mood...

Seriously. I thought I was done with this bullshit when I moved to New Orleans six years ago. I lost my hat and gloves. My wool trenchcoat was at the bottom of a box in my attic. Then after the sixth or so hard freeze this winter I had to give up and buy an ice scraper. I know you guys have it worse in Chicago and New…

My boyfriend's going to be so disappointed. I guess I really should have married him before I expired.
