Lindsay Price and Curtis Stone got married

Ok, I confess. My shameful woman-secret. I don't iron. Ever. I'm scared of burning holes in my clothes because I lost the instruction manual a long time ago and don't understand the settings. I just hang things that are likely to wrinkle and hope for the best.

I dunno, it just feels very 50s schoolgirl-ish, and then you remember that your mom was one of those 50s schoolgirls, and then you start thinking about your mom and sex and then just eewww.

Yes!! And if heaven forbid I ask him to do something else after he's already completed a Really Hard Task, he'll be like "...but I just emptied the dishwasher!" Right, well I worked an 8 hour day, came home, walked the dog, fed the dog, sorted the mail, paid bills, vacuumed the rug, swept the entryway, did a load of

He's just really, really oblivious, because he grew up with a stay-at-home mom AND a maid. He's not intentionally a jerk, but he's just literally never had to clean up after himself before. I've had to explain to him multiple times that beard stubble and toothpaste spit do not wash themselves out of the sink. One day

Oh we do this too. It's the reason he's still alive to leave dishes all over the house. But they only come every other week and it's not enough for my sanity/stress level.

You lost me at underpanties. I seriously hate the word "panty." It makes me cringe - even just while typing it.

Can we please have more advertisements aimed at not only showing men they can do housework, but also how to do it?? I'm so sick of explaining to mine why his red boxers do not go in with the white laundry, or why putting a paper towel over spilled soda is not good enough. Ergh.

I want Lisa Marie Presley's shoes! What are they?? ... and er, how far out of my price range are they?

Welcome welcome - you're clearly not alone here :)

With kids, you have to promote the positive, not show the negative. When you tell a child "Don't do X," their first reaction is to do X. Because their brains just processed "X" - the 'don't' isn't really there yet. So I think instead, they should be showing happy kids playing outside, or happy kids eating fruit, etc.

I turned into my mother the first time I went into a food store for a gallon of milk and came out with 4 bags full of groceries. And no milk.

Ugh, I have that problem, too. I tried on the cutest flared Shoshanna dress the other day, but by the time the material finished covering my butt, it was just barely skimming the bottom of my butt cheeks. So frustrating!

Stupid J Crew! I'm wearing a lace J Crew dress today that would totally look appropriate on anyone else, but somehow hits about mid-thigh on me.

Tall girls are more likely to show "too much" leg because they have longer legs.

Oooh I dated a rugby guy freshmen year of college, back when I was still a wide-eyed innocent. My eyes got a whole fucking lot wider when they made all the girlfriends watch midget porn, and then sang Father Abraham while stripping in front of us. We also did not last long.

I only skimmed the article, but I'm still snickering at Lust-Drunk Witches. It's probably either a punk band or a bunch of horny grandmothers, but I don't care, because I'm totally in.

I treat all my problems like this. My dog won't stop chewing things? Instead of getting him chew toys or negatively reinforcing the unwanted behavior, I just blame my furniture and get rid of it all! My husband leaves dirty dishes on the coffee table? NO MORE COFFEE CUPS FOR ANYONE BECAUSE THEY MIGHT TEMPT YOU INTO

My cousin didn't speak until he was about 3 1/2. One day they were at the circus, and another little girl pushed him down. He yelled "gaw-dammit!" so loud people several sections over turned to stare. His mother was horrified, but his father thought it was hilarious, and was mostly just glad he could speak...
