20 years ago I discovered Jonny Lang. Loved him. Loved the rasp in his voice. Then my father the singer explained how he was basically ruining his vocal cords and I just felt awful for him. Polyps. You get polyps and your voice will never be the same.

Kids know about moms eating disorders. My cousins definitely knew about my aunts - we all knew.

Jana is rebelling how she can by never getting married. At least that’s what I tell myself.

I think it’s cute - but I think she’d do better with it not so on the side. A little more in the middle might be a bit better.

I’ve definitely been with a guy who was, well, too big. It’s a legitimate issue for some. Because I was way turned on and more than willing and he was too big.

Husband and myself have known each other almost 10 years, married for 8. We *might* get complementary tattoos soon (the artist owes me a favor, but our schedules are not matching up right now). Star Wars Jedi logo - his would be trash polka style with the red in the form of a brush stroked cross, mine would have a…

My Auntie’s birth name is Dorothy. She’s from Brooklyn (a New York Jew) and it bugged her so much growing up how people would pronounce her name. When she was an adult she changed it to her chosen nickname: Doe.

Laur, is that you?

Yep - my mom lost 50 pounds a few years back and didn’t have to take any meds anymore. She went from insulin at least 3x a day to pills to nothing, just checking her numbers a few times a day to keep an eye on it.

He doesn’t deserve a Shadow. My first car was a Shadow - it was 4 door and rusted out and the bumpers were bolted on and the AC didn’t work and it was constantly breaking down... But it was MINE.

Yep. If I had been a boy I would have been diagnosed. Mr Tutie would probably have been diagnosed but his parents are idiots. Meanwhile the 3.5 year old is diagnosed with the 19month old soon to follow.

My parents officially divorced last year after being separated for at least 8 years (stayed legally together because my mom has a chronic health condition and would not have been able to afford health insurance). My parents got married in 1975 and my moms name is Carol. Guess what my dads new sweethearts name is?…

Same thing! Now people use the muslin swaddles instead of flannel receiving blankets.

I have bad knees - love my changing table SO MUCH! I was given one that was literally falling apart (just to see if I liked it and I did!) so I bought a nicer one (also used). I kept the original and use it to store shit.

That does suck. So does that fact that the avatar is very slender. I'm short, fat, with a shorter than chin length haircut. My avatar looks nothing like me.

A couple (white) women in a mom group I was in had stupid-curly hair and they decided to “let the hair loc naturally”. They *all* looked ratty as hell. Sort of just...ugh... One of them gave it up after a year and got a super cute pixie - and the rest were pissy about it because she kept saying how free and light and…

My Bubby was not a rich woman, but my grandfather was in a sheet metal workers union all his life. They lived in the projects until they were 90+. She owned furs (mink AND sable AND fox - also a leopard pillbox hat) and jewels and gold. That kind of stuff used to be within grasp of regular people. Thanks to her and…

My grandparents were German Shorthair Pointer breeders for 50 years. Near the end they had a few too inbred dogs that they refused to sell or breed. One of them was literally insane - he’d throw himself at electric fences. Sweet dog when he was peaceful and having a good day. But just fucking nuts. His littermate was…

I have a friend who is mixed and got pregnant, but decided to give it up for adoption. A friendly acquaintance of hers (also mixed, they actually looked related) adopted her daughter. They look like bio-relations.

My dad was a small business owner (hearing aids) and he had a customer complain to the BBB about him. He came back to my dad LIVID that the BBB had never heard of him and that MUST mean my dad was doing business illegally. My dad tried to explain that he had to pay to join and that as a very small business owner there…
