No shit :/ def on a work device right now. Def expected to read about Miley's boobs, not see them at this second. Boo.

I can also recommend Gibraltar for elopements. It's basically the Las Vegas of Europe, in terms of paperwork. You might need to schedule in advance during the high season, though, because it's pretty popular.

Oh man, so jealous. I like a lot of interesting food, but I’m kind of in a rut because my husband is fairly inadventurous. That means I basically cook then same shit over and over. It bloooooooows. You’ve inspired me to dig into Smitten Kitchen again!

Dude, a tiny little container of Ben and Jerrys is like, 6-7€ here. I want chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream so bad, but that’s like...no. I don't even pay that much for a bottle of wine, usually.

I really agree with the plant suggestion. I know you said that you’re not a gardener, but you can get a variety of palms for the house that are EASY. Like, really easy. Nearly unkillable, honestly. Americans really underestimate how elegant a large potted plant can make a room. I have a weird empty space that needed…

That cat’s a Bert if I ever saw one. Hers to a new year! And fuck cancer, man.

My husband and I pee in front of each other, but I insist on closed doors for pooping. Everyone deserves their private time, ya know? It's not a bodily function problem as much as it's just nice to be entirely alone once in a while. For reference, my ex and I often didn't close the door. That is not why he's an ex,…

Ok yes, but skin is mostly vanity. Teeth, like, you need them. One of my loved ones recently had a lot of dental issues, so I'm pretty dedicated to keeping my teeth nice at the moment. You got me at price, though. That’s when my husband finally stopped for good—he was nearly finished quitting, then moved to Germany…

I would lose my mind with no oven. A lot of th very small apartments here have only a cooktop, but we have an oven. Fridge doesn’t bother me too much since it’s just my husband and I, and I didn’t have a dryer in the states for several years either...plus I am fucking ace at tracking down ingredients, and there are…

Yes, exactly, but I no longer live in the U.S. You'd be amazed the stupid little things that make me homesick when I can't find them. :(

You know what stops me from smoking? The teeth. Stop smoking so you don't fuck up your teeth, man. I never really saw it back home, but I live in Europe now, and run around with a couple of heavy smokers. Most of them aren't that old, but their teeth are well on their way to being completely fucked up. Do it for your…

Based on actual events on my facebook feed, I think that the non-gestational mother has to legally adopt the child in order to be considered the parent—in AZ, at least, where these two reside. For a same sex couple, this seems to be an extra step in AZ, so I suspect that Johnson would have to sue to get any kind of…

Yaaaaas, sun tea is the best. I grew up in the desert, so I still make sun tea. It is a staple at my grandma’s house. Now, if only I can find a proper jar, I think I can make some in my sunny windows :)

I truly love my dad, but he was a crazy, weird, sexist asshole when I was growing up. My mom fought him tooth and nail so that I could get my ears pierced (at age 9!) and wear a little bit of makeup. Like, letting me wear foundation at 13 to cover up my zits was going to sexualize me instead of make my life easier…

Sorry people are not being nice. It’s a painful situation, and I went through it too. I lost a lot of friends over it, but fuck them; I’m happily married now, after wasting all of my 20s with someone who said he wanted o get married but wouldn't. Ok yeah, I moved kind of fast, but life is weird and crazy sometimes,…

Dude, that is exactly how I read it too! Lots of us have ex husbands or ex fiances.

Don't worry too much about it. I totally sulked when my ex got a new girlfriend and I started seeing pictures of her with his family, etc. I am very happily married, I left my ex, I am not romantically interested in that dude at all...but still. The difference is that I told only my sister, and now Jezebel. Oh well!

I agree with any others—it’s entirely situational. Big shared friend group? Was the new relationship very fast? Etc. Etc? Sure. Like, after close friends and family, but before social media. I ran away and got married very quickly after a long relationship which we were both stuck in. By that time, we lived in…

Yeah, my parents have a whole bunch of stuff from when they moved last...more than 20 years ago. I’m embarrassed for them. Half of that shit is probably ruined from the heat, the dirt, and the critters.

I'm not in the states,so I haven't heard of this book, but I really want to check it out. I recently moved continents, getting rid of almost everything I owned on the way, and I will definitely attest to the self help aspect of this. I wish I had read the book before I did it! In a way, it totally helped me get over…
