I’m going to stay agnostic on the Ann of this story — but in general, I think this response is a bit silly. When you’re young, maybe. But it’s pretty reasonable, I think, to say “Look, I want to get married. If you don’t, we’re going to have to part ways.” A *lot* of relationship heartache could probably solved with…

I mean if the bathroom is hideous...

Anyone of any gender who demands that you either get hitched or break up is not someone you want to marry, ever. Sorry, Ann.

Gay is still a more common pejorative here in the Seattle area than retarded is. And we have tons of gay folks. I am amazed to hear that there is a place where using gay as an insult has actually died off at all.

That makes sense. I wondered why an editor or someone didn’t...go over a few things with her.

A thousand times this.

South Park made Timmy and Jimmy peers of the main characters. They are not defined by their disabilities, and are annoyed at those who try talk down to them. Jimmy was the hero of a recent season, in which he stands up for freedom of the press at a time when a cowardly town could have cared less.

I find your last sentence ironic. In trying to address vulgar and offensive language that presumes about others, you’ve addressed “BOYS” as the culprits. I see plenty of females on Kinja, other social media, and IRL using all of these phrases.

I have been known to yell at public urinators. PEOPLE LIVE HERE!

Ah angel hair, with a little garlic and olive oil, so perfect.

Zambillion Little Pieces.

“Taymerica” Okay my opinion of her went from “She’s kind of annoying but we’ll blame it on her youth” to “She is the literal worst” just from reading that one word.

I cannot stop laughing at the mental image of Christine Brinkley, fancy white woman, getting after someone with a hose like they were a bad dog pissing on her lawn.

i apologize if this is unwelcome but: your doctor probably gave you alprazolam (which is a generic for Xanax) and trazodone because they work immediately to calm you down and help you sleep. Lexapro is an SSRI and can take a month (or more!) to build up to an effective dosage in your body.

How pathetic is it that Bed Bath & Beyond didn’t even cross my mind? Thank you for the suggestion! I may have already found something I like :) Also, coupons are awesome

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that you took the time to read and respond. Thank you.

I have been having issues with my depression in that I haven’t wanted to get up and get out and get moving (Which helps my depression). I’ve spent time around dogs and have felt calm. I totally adopted a dog this week.

I am exhausted.

This will probably get buried but I wanted to give it a shot. I bought myself some lovely new curtains this weekend and am inspired to get a new duvet cover. I have been led to urban outfitters because I love their designs but I’ve heard and seen too many bad choices the company has made so I don’t want to buy from…

This week I had two firsts:
