Me too. I'd rather receive something offbeat and cool then have someone give me a set of electric salt and pepper grinders (yes, seriously they exist), because they don't want to expend the effort to think about what I'd like. I go through this every year with my in laws. Holidays suck because they've made gift giving…

Very true. And I'm all about a good orgasm.

This is where we're putting our money/brains? Clit implants?

"...Still, I've noticed that, often, non-parents feel like they have no right to complain about being busy or tired or stressed because, after all, there's this huge thing we're not doing."

Yep. Didn't even take the time to block the post from the people that gave it.

If you're my third cousin thrice removed and I never see you, then yes, I'm sticking to the registry because I don't know you. However, I very rarely buy off the registry for close friends and family, because a) There's usually enough other people that don't enjoy gift giving clamoring to get the first click on the…

I could tell the last couple who's invite I received had one heck of a time coming up with anything they really needed to register for. They put a couple cars and a vacation home in Italy with "We'll split the taxes" as a joke. I just gave them cash because I didn't want to take up a physical gift and give some…

I'm going to go bankrupt. Happily.

This makes me want to cry. My best friend became pregnant our last year of high school. She delivered in December, and I remember her holding the baby up on the stage when she got her diploma in June. I remember being so grateful that there were resources in place to allow her to graduate on time.

I'm become a rather jaded and bitchy old spinster, but I'm getting tempted to tell off nearly every bride and groom that can't voice their wishes with any sort of good grace. I've never been much for "practical" gifts, unless I knew that the couple really was starting out with nothing. I will contribute to…

She's dead because she tried to keep two idiots from driving drunk and killing other people/themselves. Doesn't that just effing suck.

Hobby Lobby has added to the already staggering amount of animosity between myself and my in laws. I steadfastly refuse to spend money there, and they plan entire days around driving into ND and spending hundreds of dollars there. Their attitude is literally "Why would I stand up for an important principle when I…

By far the best part of being nearly 30 and fairly financially secure is that I can pay for a quality vibrator. No cheap plastic for me baby.

That's not surprising. Crossfit is generally tied to the hardcore paleo movement. While I'm all for a good grass fed steak and fresh vegetables, there is so much BS related to macros and IF and all that other stuff with paleo/crossfit that I just can't get on board with.

Oh lovely, a new way to never shut the fuck up about Crossfit.

I think you're my new favorite person. Take me to Newport!

I bought that as a blouse! No lie. Works amazing for an office look when you're long in the torso!

Pinterest is ruining the world.

Is this like the bell at Arby's you're supposed to ring if the roast beef was good?

I'm sobbing with you. I lost out on a pair of Lana Turner's once. Not.over.it.
