I've even encountered it here in the US. When I saw that photo and read that it was the most surprising thing, I pictured a "city slicker".

I wish people would have this reaction when people say suicide is selfish. Depression is an illness too.

I just went to the bariatric clinic the other week to start medical weight management. I'm not doing surgery. But instead they gave me this shot which has totally screwed up my digestive system. Holy shinola. I feel like I've lost 10 lbs just from food not staying in my body after I eat it. Anyway, I hope I can have…

I know! Who were these people that actually did this?!

I had a really heavy flow one time and went to urgent care for it, where they examined me in like a regular clinic room with a paper sheet on the table, and then I had to get an internal ultrasound. I felt so bad because blood was pouring out of me and got everywhere. I wonder if my story is anything those health care…

That's pretty much the only reason I use an app. Otherwise I couldn't care less. But I got tired of going, "Uhhhhh...July 1?"

I gotta say, the #FreeBieber on Twitter is better than #FreeJahar.

Sigur Ros shows nowadays make me want to kill people. Their shows require symphony etiquette, and that's what they used to get. Kids these days!!!

Once at a Weezer concert I was behind a weed guy with dreads who was jumping up and down and one of his dreads flew INTO MY MOUTH.

What always strikes me with stories like this is that cancer or other diseases strike so randomly. I have been suicidal for many years and wish I could take cancer off someone who deserves to live.

I had a message one time on OKCupid that I didn't respond to because it was something dumb like that, just "hi" or whatever. I was preparing for a big date a few days later and super nervous about myself, when I received a follow-up from the "hi" guy saying I was blah blah blah and fat and everyone knew I was fat…

I just want to thank Jezebel for existing because of things like this. I am overweight and it never occurred to me before I started reading this site that I might not be a bad person because I'm overweight. This site has been a godsend.

We were watching that show with my grandma on New Year's Eve, and we had the captions on so she could read it (she can't hear very well). She was just floored by all the comments about getting drunk. "Filthy!" she would say 5 seconds after someone made a comment, due to the captioning lag. She about had a heart…

ME TOO about Simpsons and the rest. I'm a great person now. But I also agree on the stuff like budget and how credit works. I unfortunately didn't learn that from my parents, and I paid for it.

That's true. Today I choked on the air, though, when I went outside in the morning. And my car had trouble going. It started ok, just wouldn't go. And it's not even cold really. Just pain. It's like you don't even register "coldness" anymore. Then when you get inside your body burns up.

Agreed. I absolutely cannot believe that the use of this is deemed acceptable now. Every time I see it (which is about 2x/hour on Gawker) it drives me into a rage. I am going to boycott the American Dialect Society, insofar as a person can do that. It really is because people think it's funny or cute. Honestly, it's a…

I once thought it insane that my sister, who was about 16 at the time, had never heard of REM. This is blowing my mind.

I know of a "Reinee" pronounced "rainy". Ridiculous.

I love giving compliments and do it as often as possible. It seems to me that people never feel good enough about themselves, so hopefully I can help. Usually with women it's about clothes or something. I guess I don't talk to that many guys. I probably say stuff about clothes too, or if it's a work person I say…

I understand you. And there's something my therapist says. Whatever you're feeling is what you're feeling. There's no rules that say you're right or wrong about how you feel. You just have to go with it. I think you're being honest, and that's what matters. I am having a really weird time with my sister's wedding.…
