The trip down I29 and then across via I90 - wow, that’s a bleak trip. Your roommate must have indeed been crazy. :D

Why on earth did you really want to go to Fargo?

I had a good friend who lived there for awhile. I visited her there a few times.

It’s times like this that I realize I’ll never be one of the cool kids.

Trailer Park Boys is most certainly reason enough to keep Netflix. The love I have for that show knows no dollar signs.

I think it was about 11-12 when it first premiered and I thought it was overly cutesy and annoying from the get go.

Yes! My mom is always yarning at me to cut my hair short short short because I'm 38 and a mom and other bullshit reasons, but the last time I cut is above my jawline it looked like hot, buttered ass. I looked 10 years old and dumpy as all hell. My hair is very thick and naturally curly, and it's one of the few…

An honest mistake during consensual sex is accidentally getting a wristwatch tangled in hair, or perhaps a penis hitting a cervix. An honest mistake during consensual sex does NOT result in an 11 cm vaginal wound and a person bleeding to death. I feel as though this should be common sense.

Mr. eejm and I used to have two joint bank accounts. His paycheck went into one that was unofficially "his" account, and mine went into another that was unofficially "mine." We divided the bills between our accounts (he had the mortgage and phone/internet bills as he earns more than I do, I took care of food,…

Yep, that’s exactly how we found out we were having little Mr. eejm. We’d just bought a major fixer upper and were budgeting our scanty funds for remodeling, when I was concerned that my last period had been quite awhile ago. I took a few tests just to make sure, and start bawling to Mr. eejm when plus signs appeared…

When I was about 10 or so, I was looking at a picture album that belonged to my grandmother. My grandparents’ wedding picture had the date written at the bottom - April 1946 (I don’t remember the exact day).

During WWI, the US military was the only major world power that decided against promoting condom usage among its soldiers in favor of abstinence messages. American troops had much higher rates of STIs as a result. Condoms were promoted and distributed during WWII, but the strong moral messages were still around:

I think that's the case with my brother-in-law. He and my sister-in-law desperately wanted a daughter, and got one after having two boys. But my BIL is incredibly immature, and now seems to resent the fact that he can't buy and do whatever his heart desires that they have three young kids. We have gotten repeated…

YES. My brother never really forgave me for being a girl. I'm pretty sure my childhood would have been a lot more peaceful had I been an only child. I certainly wouldn't have been humiliated nearly as much.

I am also the mother of an only child and I can't recommend your post enough times. I've been accused of being "cruel" to my child because he doesn't have a sibling, to "rob" him of that experience. My husband and I each have a sibling; our siblings are both quite obviously the favorite children of our parents, and…

Yep. Mr. eejm worked in a grocery store bakery in college. He once dropped a big can of sprinkles all over the floor. His manager caught him about to throw the sprinkles in the garbage and told him they needed to go back into the can.

So you know my mother-in-law! Is your stepmom a food borne illness freak too?

Go on...

Holy mother of yeast, those look heavenly.

Ooh, I can help with that! When we were talking about getting engaged, my now-husband and I went shopping for rings. I picked out 3-4 that I really liked and told him to make the final choice. That way you will get a ring you really want and he can still surprise you with whichever ring he picks.
