I wish there were more hat wearing occasions. I want to go to the Kentucky derby just to wear one of those hats. So many people think they don’t look good in hats, but I think most people feel that way just because they are uncommon, unless they are a baseball cap. My best friend is always saying I have a great face…

My sister divorced her husband because she was cheating on him. Then, she got pregnant and wanted him to adopt the kid, so, she told him to marry her again. And, my BIL is a great guy, but has no backbone, so he did. He came over and showed us the wedding video. She promised “to attempt to try to love him as long as…

My husband and I got married, after saying we never would. We don’t want to have kids. We lived together for a couple years beforehand. But, he travels constantly and has an extremely controlling, abusive mother who believes physician=witchcraft (I’m not even joking). He certainly didn’t want her being next of kin and…

My husband is Australian, and once I had to write a paper in college about a culture that was gone or disappearing, and he suggested the aboriginal people, and I thought that would be interesting. The information I was able to find about how white Australians were making this culture disappear was shocking to me. I…

*Hugs* I moved 600+ miles away from where I’ve spent the entirety of my 30 years. We live in the middle of nowhere. I know nobody. Moving is hard.

Mine does too. I keep saying my face is lopsided.

We used to sleep apart a majority of the time, so far apart we were in different states. But, he came home on the weekends, and we slept together. The novelty was nice. But, he recently to promoted and works from home most the time now, and my quality of sleep has gone WAY down over the last 6 weeks, I’m giving it a…

Mr Pigeon had worked out of town Mon-Fri, every single week for 10 yrs. So, he’s been out of my sight more often than in it throughout our relationship. (He recently got a promotion which has him working mostly from home. Still not sure how I feel about this, honestly. He has a few female coworkers, but the job is…

I’m against it, I used to be a server. Yeah, a guaranteed $24 a day would be nice, but, most the time I made more than that anyway. I think people look at this and go “Wow, $12/hr, 40 hrs/week. That’s not bad!” There are very few servers I’ve ever heard of that get to work that many hours. I often had a 2 hr lunch…

We moved from some place with a pretty much non-existent venomous snake population to an area with a lot of rattlesnakes and copperheads. This has concerned the children VERY much. So, recently they cornered a park ranger and spoke to him about snakes for a good half hour. He said the same thing, the big ones aren’t…

People keep posting his picture...and I guess I’ve only seen older pictures of him. He now bares a ridiculous resemblance to my ex-husband. Who also has a very punchable looking face. Apparently, something about that look makes you a racist, cheating, redneck. Thank God the kids look more like their step-father.

Ok, I know I’m not really the “average” person, meaning, I wouldn’t have been allowed in the trial, because my lack of desire if from a medical condition (multiple sclerosis) But, I am familiar with the lack of desire. I used to have a much higher sex drive than Mr. Pigeons. And, then, it completely tanked. I miss…

I would love to buy a winter coat. When I need a winter coat. But, I’ve lost 60 pounds over the last 2 years. I have no idea what size I will need when I need a coat.I’m not buying on in August I won’t need until January. But, in January all they will have is bikinis, which I am also not buying. I pretty much just…

I like it too, but I tend to like subtle holiday, rather than “Lisa Frank and MySpace sparkle GIF had a baby together”-type holiday

My family is super-duper right wing, Christian conservative. I am...not. One of the last things my mother said to me over a year ago was “We’d like to have you in our lives if you’d just stop being so controversial.” But, my sister’s husband and I still get along, because he lived on our sofa for a month or so after…

I don’t remember not knowing what sex was, I mean, I remember it being explained to me, but I already knew. I remember the boys in 5th grade making fun of a kid named BJ, and I didn’t know why. I finally got up the nerve to ask my best guy friend and he very maturely explained and didn’t laugh at me or anything. My…

When I was 24 I got asked out, it was a guy off an online site. His picture was kind of blurry, but I said yes. Here I am , 24. overweight, just divorced, 2 kids...and there to meet me in the bookstore is 6’4”, muscular, soldier/firefighter, who rode his motorcycle there, and was standing in the section with my…

I have wondered that myself. My husband and I dated for 8 months (?) and by date I mean spent all our time together, lived together half the week, knew each other’s friends/family, talked about the future, etc. But, we had started out friends with benefits and every time I brought up actually being in a relationship,…

Do I wear a costume? Um...not exactly. But, I tend to dress like this for the holiday, cute little black dress, orange and black striped leggings, purple boots, stripped fingerless gloves, orange scarf, spider web earrings, spider neckless. Colorful streaks in my hair, crazy false eyelashes, orange press on nails with…

Mr Pigeons and I had about a bazillion red flags between us. Some of them went away with time. Some of them were our own insecurities talking. And, some of them we didn’t see as problems, even though others did. We are both patient, and pretty chill and we communicate well, so 5 yrs later, things are still great. The…
