Old! Come on! The first HP book came out in 1998 (when I was 15) and I didn't read them! I'm only 30!

Yeah. That's the thing. It's not the movie that turned me off reading the books, so much as the fact that I was already a Stephen King-reading teenager by the time the first one was published, and was in late college/a working adult by the time the Harry Potter fandom really reached mainstream saturation. I am glad…

After I saw the first movie (to date my only Harry Potter experience) I summed it up to my friends as: "Look at all the magic we can do!"

I have only seen the first Harry Potter movie and read none of the books, which is weird because I really like the fantasy genre, generally. But I was pretty bored by the first movie and I kind of hate reading YA books as a grown up, even though I know it's cool and everyone is doing it.

Yeah. I won't spank my kids but I was spanked exactly once in childhood for doing something particularly terrifying and stupid (riding out of our neighborhood across a traffic-heavy street on my training wheels bike with a friend to buy a snowcone and not telling anyone where we were going) and I don't really remember…

I think everyone's mom may have had that casserole dish... mine did too.

It's like a Lisa Frank Ancient Egypt.... with stripper poles.

Seriously. I love sausage so much, but I don't want to get digestive cancer. I can do baby poo probiotic bacteria in my sausage.

I don't really have a long waist.... I'm 5'11 and have really long legs, big hips and a short torso so my waist is located dangerously close to my boobs already. I just feel like high waisted pants emphasize my already weird proportions by exaggerating my short torso. But different strokes for different folks.

Not a brag, just different cuts for different shapes, I guess! I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge that everyone has different bodies and therefore prefers different clothing.

Yeah... my body is mostly legs already.

Why should we have to wear loose shirts to cover up high unflattering pants? I wear mid-rise pants and my butt and gut do fine, thanks.

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.
