Most of the images used in kitchenette stories make me hungry. This one makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

In the US, $50,000 would get the kid through roughly 5 years of life. Average cost of popping one out (excluding unexpected medical expenses) is about $10,000/year. Still a lot...like I would probably just ask people for diapers and clothes, but that’s me, and I have no idea what this couple’s situation is like IRL.

potato salad guy and an anti-gay pizza place = worthy causes to donate money to

After doing my family’s genealogy I discovered that my husband and I share an ancestor. Six generations back for him, seven for me. I’d assume the chances are pretty high if you live in an area where there isn’t a lot of movement (generations sticking around for centuries) and where big families are the norm. Our…

OMG I hope this is what happens. I love Deacon’s sad-boy-trope too much. And I hate his woe-is-me sister.

Obviously, only one of those words is scary.

My husband (and his whole family) all say “ong-yun” instead of onion. It’s fucking weird.

That sounds worse than Caillou.

Not exactly the same thing as what everyone else is discussing, but my husband and I are considering bankruptcy. Lots of bad decisions in our early twenties, coupled with loss of job and a baby, has helped us create a mountain of debt. We’ve met with a bankruptcy lawyer, but I wonder if anyone has any first hand…

There is about an additional 1” of fabric on a traditional “tank top” vs a spaghetti strap.

I wouldn’t have been able to make this phone call last this long. I would have hung up after the first “honey.”

I teach at a non profit university in NH. I’m currently teaching a research based seminar class where we have a course theme that the research assignments must fall under. I picked pop culture for this semester. I was impressed by my students’ ability to respectfully discuss this. It was during a conversation about…

If they had sex and she didn’t know, I would have to say that maybe he owned a really nice strap on and insisted on dim lighting whenever they fooled around...but still.

Agreed. We had a discussion about this in my class the other day. My students wanted to refer to him as “her” (this was during a discussion of LGBTQI representation in the media, pre-interview). I stopped them and said, “Until we hear from Bruce on this matter, we should continue to use male pronouns as he has used…

the motherhood storyline is my fav. I did the same exact thing after popping out a little one (well, I wasn’t a famous country musician...so maybe not the same exact thing). I immediately started looking for full time work. Like I could.not.handle.it. I also had postpartum depression, and that behavior was symptomatic…

So I’m currently living with my husband, who only six months ago, came out to me as trans. This interview really helped me understand some of what my husband is going through. I cried a lot. I really hope we can figure everything out, but divorce rate among people who transition after marriage is 90%. I fully support…

Mr. Life and I will be married 8 years this summer. We started dating when we were teenagers. On our first date, he drove me home and we had that whole goodnight-on-the-front-porch thing going on.

For some background, Mr. Life had been pursuing me for months. Asked me out several times. I kept saying no. When he…

I was really hoping for just one bridal romper that doesn’t look like overalls made out of lace and satin. :/

I just fell in the damn toilet...FML.

I just saw this exact post on Instagram and shook my head. How many girls do you think got this tattooed without first checking what it really meant? It reminds me of my friend (a veteran) who got a tattoo while stationed in Afghanistan. He was told it was Arabic for “strength.” it says “asshole.” its okay though. He…
