My husband goes in with a book and comes out 45 minutes later. After one year of marriage, I’ve finally gotten him to at least tell me when he’s about to take up the bathroom for almost an hour so I can duck in there first for the maybe 45 seconds I need to squeeze one out.

It turned itself off, after WAY too long a time. Or maybe I just confused it and broke its spirit. My ass was all weird and numb and tingly for a while after. I got some signals from my bosses that they were cool land maybe down with TMI and eventually the whole story came out. :P

Turns out the most effective and least noxious way to get rid of that smell is by simply striking a match and blowing it out. I don’t know why it works, but it does. I have a box of wooden matches on the back of the toilet now - people can just light it, blow it out, run water over it, throw it away. No nasty scented…

I... I don’t know man. I would have agreed with you up until about a month ago, when I got stuck on the toilet in the home of my new bosses. They had a bidet, which my plebian self had never used before. I don’t know WHY I thought it’d be a good idea to use it there. I’ve had 38 years to learn that I can’t do normal…

Yeah, those are some pretty specific details to lie about, and also exactly the sort of “weird shit” kids do that’s hard to make up. Stare at you intently while yodeling? Yes. Butthole? Yes. Why would she make it up? But it’s easy enough to check - Do her other reviews include a bunch of malicious lies? Is this how…

That’s my husband’s theory as to why he doesn’t drinK, (“Because it tastes icky”) and eats fast food all the time (“but MOOOOMMMM!!!! You said we’d go to McDonald’s tonight! YOU PROMISED!”)

Oh man, that sounds awful!!! I’m so glad you made it out of that environment alive. Moms can do such enormous damage. :(

Exactly. And thanks. :)

Thanks! Glad all the therapy was worth something. :P

Yeah, I finally figured it out. Thanks for the kind words. :)

What a nice thing to say! Thank you. :)

Thanks. :) And there are a million ways for parents to mistreat their children, so even if you don’t have that one poignant story you can tell to give people an impression how bad it was, doesn’t mean it wasn’t bad. It just means it’s not as easy to put into words. I’m glad you’re out of that (I assume, since you’re…

Thanks. Things are much better now that I’ve cut her off. :)

Out altogether! Thanks for the kind words. :)

I’m sorry about your abusive ex. My sister is leaving her narcissistic husband of 11 years right now, and the longer he draws out the divorce, the more she’s beginning to recognize her own self-worth. She’s likely on the same divorce blogs you are. :P She’s done taking anyone’s shit, including my mom’s. She was always…

Hah! I read the headline thinking, “Sounds familiar.” And then the mom said “She needs to grow up.” Exactly what my mother said after inviting herself on my trip to India to meet my husband’s parents and being denied because she’s a racist asshole who didn’t believe me when I told her I was raped at 15 and made me…

“To me, they’re not even people.”

Do you know many 11-year-olds?

Word. I fucking hate Trump and I still think Griffin deserves to have her career ended by this shit.

I think it sucks because it intimidates me with its newfangledness and I can’t get past the UI to make any sense of what I’m seeing. Rather than buckle down and figure it out, I’ll shake my tiny fists at it from my facebook safe space, thank you very much.
