I honestly thought that I hated chocolate until I started eating European chocolate as an adult. That sounds really pretentious, I know, but it is what it is. Brb gonna go eat some Lindt.

I definitely think it's easier to go bold of you have a darker complexion, or if you live in a place where more people wear makeup like that. In the US, I feel ok about it, but here I do feel self concious even though I walk out of the house and feel good about how I look. I think I'm still in a testing phase haha. I…

OMFG, you totally just made my night. I must have another pair!

You look FAB, seriously! I just wore L'Oreal Blazing Lava for my Saturday bike ride, just because I could. I got some looks because German women seem not to wear a lot of bold makeup, but I don't even care; I, too, am reclaiming my awesome lipstick :) Ha! I also remember that I wore that color on my wedding day, which…

I've eaten a lot of things that are generally considered by Americans to be gross, like tripe, marrow, organ meats, lard on bread, etc. but the only thing I've ever had that *I* actually thought was gross was fresh-from-the-cow milk. It was so rich because it still had all the cream in it, and it was very WARM, which…

I had a roommate who would do the same thing. I especially remember the canned greenbeans. She was trying to live as cheaply as possible, and she got several boxes of cans at some ridiculous price, so that's what she ate :( It made me really sad because she had some issues.

I haved raged before on Kitchenette about the European propensity to put corn on pizza. It is truly a crime against pizza, and sadly it's not only the Scots who do it.

My mom grew up eating fat squirrels in the Midwest, but won't eat southwestern squirrels because she says they taste like toothpicks. I guess the flavor of the meat can depend a lot on the diet of the critters, and Midwestern squirrels have more delicious things to eat than they do where I grew up, where they eat only…

I just wanted to let you know that, although you're getting a lot of hate from people who missed your point, I completely agree with you. Yes, these people in the story are extraordinary assholes/idiots, but there are a lot of healthy happy babies and children around the world who spend a lot of time outside, and a…

Yay! Thank god for pills! And isn't it strange how we grow in and out of allergies and intolerances...my dad developed an allergy to melon once he was an adult, but my sis grew out of her lactose intolerance as she got older (I know that's not the same as your little one ,but still).

Yeah, fuck those guys. Ick. When Husband doesn't care for a fashion decision, all he says is "It's up to you!" or "It's your hair!" but not in a condescending way. Just factual. He's a keeper.

I used to wear the craziest, boldest lipstick, but my ex hated it so much and aways commented on it. Even though i'm no longer with him, a decade of hearing that bullshit can really change your habits :(

I am so fucking full of rage right now. I live in Europe and have the standard public insurance (you have to have a certain fairly high income to opt in to the private system at all). Husband has h. Pylori and it cost us FIVE FUCKING EUROS for all of his meds, some of which he has to take twice daily for an entire…

Every time I see one of those it throws me into a rage because my ex luuuurrrrrved to reminisce about how he wore one of these to his senior prom. He thought it was SO FUCKING CLEVER and SO FUCKING SUBVERSIVE. No, brah. No.

They would have questioned vaccines until one of their girlfriends dramatically fell ill (but recovered, of course) after a stranger wearing a hat pulled low over his eyes stuck his head in their dad's car and coughed while asking for directions, in an attempt to harm their father. The Hardy Boys would have then…

When we visited my fam in the States, poor Husband was baffled by the beer menus, but still refused to drink Budweiser.

I have an orange bedroom (well, it's also periwinkle and green because my landlord is fucking maniacal) and we have so much sex. Think of all the extra sex we could be hAving if 1.5 of our walls were also green/blue!

Dude, I dont't even care. Mario Lopez can fucking GET IT.

Thanks! I had to have it as soon as I saw it because it's so beautiful. Here it sits, though, never been worn.

Once upon a time, I was engaged and had a gorgeous dress that I decided not to wear when I got married to my now husband—a combination of leaving everything behind and also my boobs didn't fit into it correctly! I looked everywhere for some shoes for that dress, and these would have been spectacular :)
