I'm so glad you're getting help! I tried prescription antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs for years, but I never really noticed any change. I eventually checked out holistic/integrative medicine; my mother and I have both had a lot of success with this, and we both have totally different health issues (My mental…

That was a totally unfair thing for your radio to do to you.

That is such a lovely thing to say! Thank you. I hope you find a new special friend again soon. When you meet the right one, you just know, ya know?

Oh I also should have mentioned, THANK YOU for this gif. Wow. It reminds me of that whole Bill Gates and the malaria mosquito thing.

My beloved cat The Brothers Grimm (yeah, that was her name) died 2 months ago, and I was only able to wait a week before adopting a new cat. Amar Akbar Anthony is a total psychopath who has spent the entire day hiding in my laundry hamper and attacking anything that moves, but she can also be a total sweetheart who…

My pleasure! He's one of those people who is so great, I can't believe that the entire world doesn't already know about/love him already. Most of his stuff is on Netflix, but you can find it on youtube too. He's amazing! Enjoy!!

Yay for dogs and creativity!! I think I'm going to make my brother and his girlfriend build a fort with me this Christmas. Like, an adult-sized one. Thanks for the idea.

If you haven't seen this, do yourself a favor:

This is similar to the whole nature/nurture thing. Sometimes it's clearly one or the other. But heybetsyb is right; I have dealt with clinical depression my entire life, and there have been no specific factors that have caused it. It just is. I think some of us take issue with the idea that it is "caused," because it…

Ugly hot is the best kind of hot!! Wooo! I don't see it so much in this guy, but wevs!! Ugly hot all the way! Plus, I'm sure I'll change my tune after I hear him sing. Unless he sucks. But I'm sure my annoyance at Hathaway and Seyfried the bush baby will distract me if so.

YES. FUCK IT SO HARD. Fuck dysmenorrhea. I'm done with it. Last month, I couldn't even walk across my apartment without having to sit down every 10 feet because I was going to either pass out or vomit. I've only called in sick to work because of it once tho, which I'm strangely proud of. But I admit to being very…

I played with those Lego people! I played with the hell out of those Lego people!! I built them houses and cars and spaceships and then they DID THINGS. It was great. Also, I loved my yearly bag o' books. Still do. Also, DO NOT joke about stuffed animals coming alive at night. Creepy. Also, lastly, I got an American…

I've let so many of these "You Americans" comments go, but I'm done. I hate guns, I don't want to be at war with anyone, I stand up against racism, sexism, and homophobia every day, and I constantly speak out about what's wrong with our government and country in general. So STOP telling me who I am, what I think, and…

Yeah, where do you work! I love my coworkers, but jeeze. It sounds like you must have a great job in general.

Wait, guys, I'm confused by this: http://jezebel.com/5521015/get-ready-for-the-boobquake?tag=modesty

This is how I do it: I wear what I am comfortable in. Sometimes it's baggy and covers me totally, sometimes (especially in warm weather) it shows my arms, shoulders, and some of my DD's. Sometimes it's tight, and I think I look good. Sometimes I wear my old pajamas to the store. However I look, that's just how I look.…

This is a good point. It's kind of like the difference between America's and other countries' attitudes towards drug and alcohol use. For instance, there are many countries where kids are brought up around alcohol, and are allowed to drink at much younger ages. It therefore isn't so romanticized, they know how to deal…

Yeah, I have issues with this. It seems a little too reactionary. I didn't dress slutty in school, but I got in trouble for breaking dress code because I'm always over-heating, so I wore tank tops. SUE ME, I have shoulders. And guess what, if you have larger boobs, you sometimes have cleavage because PHYSICS. Lindy…

Replace "the show" with "life" and Oz" with "my first boyfriend," and I think you just hit on something pretty universal.

Funny... My boyfriend is a "man's man" - sports and all that - and I usually wear dresses on my days off. But since I do bike deliveries year-round in Chicago and love hiking, camping, etc. and the only tent he's ever slept in was in his mom's backyard... I'd have to re-title this "Get to Know Your Carhartt…
