At about age 60 my aunt got braces. When the 4 kids were growing up, there was money for THEM to get needed braces, but she never made herself a priority. She's so much happier now, she smiles showing her teeth - she's so proud of them!

I only discovered that show on Netflix after it was CANCELLED. So sad...

"Minnesota nice" is a lie. I've lived here all my life. Minnesota nice is similar to how, in the south, they say "bless you heart" and mean "go to hell".

I feel you. I'm not at the point of needing surgery (at least bariatric surgery - the less said about my knees the better) but what every health practitioner doesn't realize is that I would have to go on a near-starvation diet (the endocrinologist told me to aim for 1000 calories a day) in addition to my regular…

I would have married my now husband after 3 weeks of dating if I hadn't KNOWN my parents would kill me. As it was, a lot of our friends thought that 15 months later was too soon.

We've been tossing around "Gibson Martin Taylor" for our next boy (NOT pregnant right now) because Martin is a family name - and who can resist 3 guitars for a name? But it's also 3 surnames.

My husband works for UPS and worked 28 hours between Monday and Tuesday. He's been absolutely swamped at work (and he's a manager!) and just didn't have enough employees.

You NEVER but NEVER ask a lady when she's due! NEVER! And I say that as a woman who has given birth! No matter what it's insulting in SOME way. DUDE.

I had a twin bed until I was 22. My parents said I could take my twin with me when I left or I could buy my own bed. I'm cheap.

It's really odd - but I ended up marrying a man that doesn't look like my dad, but looks like he's related to me.

If you are above the age 29 right now... I don't really have to explain it. He was just... WOW. The bees knees. Titanic and Romeo + Juliet were SO huge during my teenage and high school years (95-99).

Hey, we all want to protect our children from the cruelty of others. WITH consent, when they know it hurts, is different than too young to know the difference except for the fact that it hurts.

DSS is because DH didn't pull out one time. Little-tutie is because he didn't pull out a couple of times (on purpose).

I had to take my son down to just a diaper so he would stay awake from the cold the first month. It worked really well because it was damn cold in our house and he was wearing polarfleece jammies all the time.

Exactly! I'm on month 9 of nursing and, according to Giselle, I multitask ALL THE TIME. She's nursing while sitting. I guess looking at my phone while nursing is multitasking? Yeah the smugness and humble bragging killed the beauty of the picture.

Light blue. Like, baby blue. It was the color of the ribbon on my dress. It made everything SO EASY. Got the husband a blue tie that matched it and the place we had the reception had a similar blue napkins. We went with blue hydrangea and white orchids (ONLY thing I regret is the orchids - I'd do white roses or…

When I was deployed I bought my then fiance (now husband) and his then 7 year old son "matching" ipods. Dad got a 160GB silver iPod, Son got the 8GB silver nano that looked like a miniature version of the big one. Husband still has his, stepson (who is 13 now!) still has his too. Neither are damaged, both have been…

The husband plays bass and guitar and records his own music. He WORKS for UPS. But his calling is music. The kid also said "I want to be an artist" so we bought him a shit ton of different art materials a year and a half ago and he hasn't touched them.

Because he's unadventurous and afraid. We've proven to him that we know when he's doing wrong (like watching things on Netflix and Amazon that he isn't supposed to) and he's afraid of getting caught. We also had to take off the map apps because when he didn't have games left he'd just play with that. He went over…

The 13 year old asked for an XBox this year even though he couldn't name a single game for it that he wanted. "Not gonna happen kiddo" was the response. So he asked for a longboard skateboard which costs almost as much and we said "Sure, as long as it's also your birthday present" which is tomorrow. We found one…
