Same here! And no one believed me which really pissed me off, GRANDMA.

YES. Also, Captain Planet.

also the people who get pissed when they get a rent increase at the exact time and for the exact amount that their signed lease lays out. property management is FUN.

my cat loves making bids for freedom, usually when my husband isn’t paying close enough attention when she’s creepily lurking by the door. the best part is that she almost immediately regrets escaping and yells to be let back in. pretty sure she’s doing okay as an indoor cat.

Easter baskets. There were three of us and I would steal whatever candy wasn’t claimed so the Easter Bunny had to clearly write out which basket belonged to which kid.

No kids here but growing up, our Santa gifts were always wrapped (parents should have taken the advice to change up the writing, though, since Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy all had the same writing and it looked suspiciously like my mom’s). The Santa gifts were also the boring ones: socks and whatever.…

It’s nice not to be alone but I’m really sorry if you’re dealing with a hellspawn in-law, too.

I am open to either idea! I have some doozies to get off my chest and need to give my inner circle a break from the venting.

For my MIL the rehearsal dinner was an excuse to be a drama queen and then not show up. Rehearsal dinners can be anything you want them to be if you dream big enough!

So true. The last several years we’ve been concerned about not having nearly enough water. Now there’s more than we can handle. Some middle ground would be nice.

We have an orchard right on the Feather River and have already lost trees to flooding once or twice before. It’s a really tense time for us and we’re only talking about trees — not lives and houses and personal belongings. I feel deeply for the people who have had to evacuate and have no idea what to expect.

Oh man, that website is a roller coaster. Such hopeful happiness when reading the headlines and imagining the day when those stories are real and then such crushing despair when reality sets in yet again.

Pete Souza wins again.

Trump_Regrets is an account on twitter that retweets people who explain why they regret voting for him. On one hand, I’m sort of glad they saw the light, I guess? On the other much larger hand, fuck them because that pus-filled cheeto was completely honest about himself and his intentions from the get-go and these…

Had a small wedding early this year (local winery, immediate family only, sister and I did the flowers) and it was simple and amazing.

This is identical to my story with my best/longest friend! It’s the best.

My insertion wasn’t bad at all but the removal was pretty painful. It took three tries with an ultrasound in between the second and third attempts...sneaky little bugger was happily lodged in my uterus and did NOT want to come out. Apparently that’s not very common and I was just lucky, ha.

You are raising good sons. <3
