I'm glad it resonated with you! I'm a pretty cynical person sometimes, so I didn't really think anyone would care, ha. I cried the whole time writing it but it feels great to tell someone about who my dad was. Thanks for listening.

Honestly, hearing the stories at my dad's funeral made me want to be a better person. I'm not the kind of person who will strike up a conversation with a stranger or really listen to someone I've just met. My dad was that guy—always interested in other people, always friendly and trying to get a laugh. I work in…

So, storytime: my dad was a letter carrier for thirty-eight years. Every Christmas he'd receive a stack of Christmas cards from the people on his route, not to mention stacks of boxes of chocolates. Several years he even became pen pals with the children who would write to Santa Claus. A few times he was able to…

I'm INTP—I think I've been INTP every time I've taken the test over the last decade or so.

I just had an extremely weird moment when I tried to understand why a paparazzo would feel like calling a little girl a bitch—and then I started to think about how sad and stupid and frustrating it would be an adult who stalks a wealthy child for a living—and then I wept for the world we live in.

So I actually have quit by text message. I had been working for this restaurant for four years and I took off a few days for a trip to D.C. When I returned and called for my schedule, I wasn't on the schedule anymore. (And no, it wasn't an honest mistake. After a few times of it happening and years of my hours…

I second the cigarettes, coffee, and warm liquid suggestions, but if that doesn't work:

Oh I feel your pain. Can I share my advice as someone who has spent years similarly large chested? First of all, I wouldn't even fuck around with this "XL" bullshit. If you are going to shop at the mall, go to a department store like Macy's or Penney's. They will have dresses over a size 12 in their dress…

Yes do it. Perfectly honest, you're beautiful and almost nothing you could do would fuck up your face. Although keep in mind that the piercer will probably not give you a ring for initial jewelry, so you'll have to wait several months until you're able to wear a ring. Which is probably better just in case you want…

It seems pretty awesome so far. For me, I didn't want to put off a reduction any longer because I had no idea if and when I will have kids, but that was definitely a thought of mine too.

Good advice. I'm better now but I'll definitely think twice about relying so much on narcotics in the future.

Thanks everyone! I just had a massive poop and I'm off the narcotics now too.

Alright so there's hope for me yet!

Hmm I'm stranded at home currently and can't get to the store....I'm gonna try some cherry juice and pray it has the same effect.

Thank you!!

Yeah, they said to try Milk of Magnesium first. I took the max dose a few hours ago and I'm trying to wait patiently...

It can be a side effect of any surgery and it's not particularly serious, so it's not gonna be the first thing they warn you about. All in all I've had surprisingly little pain and I already feel the weight that's been lifted off my shoulders, even through the soreness. Good luck with your investigation!

Oh it's def common after surgery. Anesthesia slows down your whole body, and then narcotics on top of that slow down the digestive track and make your poop hard. I'm following the guidelines my surgeon gave me, so I'll probably be fine. Just really uncomfortable, ha.

Hey everybody, first time posting on the new commenting system. I stopped posting way back when they made everyone convert accounts, and then after Kinja took over, I just never read the comments anymore. I have slowly started going back to the comment section (a lot of the trolls have disappeared, no?) and I'm…

So this is prob weird but my boyfriend and I use "bro" as a term of endearment.
