I’m also adopted, but haven’t taken the plunge— I did buy the Ancestry test when it was on sale during the holidays but I haven’t followed through. I think I’m a bit nervous to do so.

Oh definitely. Very past-tense. The girl with the toilet situation, I didn’t even realize because my bedroom had an ensuite bathroom. I discovered the disaster that was hers when I had a maintenance man in to work on my sink and I needed to use her bathroom and VOILA. :|

After reading the comments here I am sad now that my 3 roommates before moving in with my now-husband were (1. a slovenly religious teetotaler* (2. secretly crazy!!* and (3. really sweet but the dumbest person I ever met who also clogged our toilet every other day due to her high-fiber diet***.

ALLLLL of David Cross’s shit in this situation is bad but I can’t quite get over the fact that, at *absolute best* he was only meaning to shit on and belittle the people living in Shreveport, Louisiana, where they were filming. Like, look: I lived there for a couple of years and it’s definitely not my favorite town.…

The woman who founded my middle school is legit buried on the school grounds*. I remember dreading going there all through elementary school after hearing dozens upon dozens of TERRIFYING TALES of students trapped there after hours by her ghost. The best of these was how her “red glowing eyes” would follow people…

Has anyone heard how the mail service is down there? I’ve seen some Amazon wish lists for orgs that I want to buy stuff for but I hesitate just because I haven’t heard how reliable service is yet.

My husband ran into trouble with our local Alamo Drafthouse never showing up on the app. In those cases he’d have to resort to calling MoviePass and each and every time, to tell them what theater and what screening. Then the support person would, I guess, manually input it into his account. Literally ever venture to…

I have the same swimsuit!

I blew through this in two nights, and at first it was not so much a hatewatch for me as it was a... erm... perplexed...watch? Once the disservice had been done to Eichner’s character though, I realized I had largely been watching to see him show up and interact with these awful people. When he wasn’t coming back it…

Suuuuper rolling my eyes at the mayor. I mean, lady, I lived in Shreveport for two years and there sure as hell weren’t any vampires despite what ‘Trueblood’ promised me.

I initially didn’t care for it but kept watching it and it did grow on me. I had some LOLs here and there and I really liked the actress playing her friend, but the most I could ever say when asked about it was “Oh, it’s fine.” I was watching it alongside ‘Dear White People’ which was SUCH a different show but so much…

So, I’m 38 in a couple of weeks. I honestly didn’t care when I turned 30. But as I crept a little further into my 30s I did freak mildly. Like, “OH NO WAIT THIS HAPPENED”. But I also spent 30-32 in a bad longterm relationship and living in a shitty town and not working. Once I dropped the boyfriend and once I moved…

This is all I have ever seen of any episode of The Bachelorette and it was fucking amazing.

SAME. Rationally I know better, because this is a horrible thing for anyone but at the same time SOME FUCKER DARED HURT LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE?

Once I saw Sam Waterston checking into his hotel in San Francisco and he had on a leather jacket and he looked cool as hell.

I worked in Boerum Hill around the corner from the house he had shared with Michelle Williams; the two were always around the neighborhood with their daughter, and had stopped in our store from time to time. They were both always very nice. I remember coming to work the morning after and stopping into Starbucks to…

This is resonating with me, but in a weird, indirect way. I’m not a mom, but I’m a *stepmom*. I left the city for the burbs because my husband needs to be close to his kid. I don’t know anyone out here and a city friend (who is a parent now) suggested I make friends with parents from the stepkid’s school. But like...…

I mean, I had a D cup by the time I was in ninth grade and I weighed something around 120-125 at that time. I started developing at 9, so yeah, this happens (and it sucks).

I’m not planning to take the day off because it doesn’t seem to make sense for me— I work in user support for a tech company, so I am a faceless entity behind a computer screen. I work from home. My presence isn’t visible. I am on a small team of 5 (3 of whom are women). Peacing out just piles more work on the people…

I watched QUITE a bit of TRL between 98 and 2002... but... what the blue fuck is this???
