My heart hurts.

I've never ordered Valentine's Day flowers, but I get my mom flowers every Mother's Day through ProFlowers, which I'm much happier with. They always arrive on time and exactly as pictured on the website, albeit maybe a little smaller, and I've never had any sort of issue.

My husband and I are pretty newly-married (a little over a year and a half), and while we both would like to declutter and downsize, we have different ideas about what needs downsizing. He doesn't understand why I tell him to donate half his clothes ("But I like that shirt! I'll wear it again sometime.") and he…

That's similar to what I did when I was in college. All of my belongings (minus cookware) were kept in my room, so I could cull as needed. I also went to college 16 hours away, so I learned to limit everything to what I could fit in my car. I haven't really accumulated much since then, probably because I got so used…

Do as the White House does and keep them in storage, bringing them out for visiting dignitaries (i.e. family)?

I was watching this at my in-laws' place last night, and they started swearing up a storm when this happened. It was hysterical.

I'm aware where it came from. (I hope you never use "gung ho" or "kamakazi," since you're so concerned.)

Korea has three different Valentine's Days:

There are two sets of twins at the school where I work, and they're at very different ends of the friendship spectrum. The fraternal 6-year-old boy twins are literally nothing alike in looks, personality, or academic ability, but they are the fastest of friends and always do their writing prompts about how they're…

Ugh, I love "how my parents met" stories.

The dog I had growing up was hit by a car in front of our house (it was being shown to prospective buyers and the poor thing couldn't understand why there were strangers in our house and we were just calmly sitting on the neighbour's front porch, so she ran out to investigate just as another neighbour was pulling into…

Learning another language really does wonders for teaching you about your own.

Korea has dog cafes! There's one near my house and I keep meaning to bring my dog there some day.

I took an AP Statistics class my junior year of high school. There was a fairly even mix of boys and girls, but I was the only junior, and also the only one who didn't conform to our teacher's outdated concept of gender norms. I got picked on incessantly. It was so bad, and my friends in the class were confused and…

Maybe they like sedans better?

Fortunately, the internet is full of unscrupled people who provide them for free. ;)

I've lived in South Korea for a few years now and plan to live here a few more, so maybe take all this with a grain of salt since I am obviously biased.

I'm roughly your size, and I agree about most Korean clothes assuming that hips=waist, but I've actually had fairly good success at H&M. The waist is a little big on me, but I had that problem even in America so it's not a big deal. But I've only tried their skinnies, so I'm not sure what the fit would be like in…

This should not be a thing unless you have an abnormal growth on your forehead or a delitating skin condition or something.

Yeah, I'm in my mid-20s and grew up in the South and I always got made fun of too. Everyone I knew aways had tans (fake or real) and super-blonde hair (mostly fake). (I'm a natural blonde, but it's kind of a dirty/dishwater/caramel blond so I got judged for that too.) It didn't stop until I got to college and became…
