This was the worst possible thing I could read while upset over Paris and also PMSing. I am a weepy mess and my husband is very, very concerned.

I teach at a K-8. Every goddamn graduation, even for the students I absolutely will not miss, because they were complete stereotypical middle school assholes. They get their diplomas in a cap and gown and suddenly I’m sobbing, even as I think “thank God I never have to see them again”

I don’t know why, but the word choice about “helping” always pisses me off. My husband frequently makes dinner if he gets home first, and I’ll assist when I get in, so he thanks me for helping. That’s fine, that makes sense. He took the lead, I helped. But sometimes I will make dinner, take the lead, do most of the…

Thank you for knowing that the origin of “stormtrooper” is not, in fact, George Lucas’ imagination.

Oh gahd, I absolutely LOVE the 80’s eye makeup look. I don’t like modern contouring and I think cat-eye is nice but really over-used. I, too, have big round eyes with tons of lid space and nothing looks better than a thick grey line on the top lids smudged and smoky, with a little grey smudged into the center bottom…

If heaven is reliving my junior year by endlessly dryhumping a third string basketball player on his beanbag chair while we keep our ears open for his little sister busting in the room at any moment... I think I’ll hope for purgatory.

Nailed it. Gotta go find that movie on YouTube or something and relive a high school sleepover or two...

As a contact lens-wearing, weed-smoking allergy sufferer, I am dying.

No idea. Yay internet!

Hey Missouri, let the punishment fit the crime:

YOU GO, YOU BADASS BITCH.

And gorgeous, I bet!

Oh yeah, great price for a de la Renta, but expensive for a one-time-only white dress

Parents are damned if you do, damned if you don’t in so many ways. Being on your cell phone in order to conduct the normal business of being an adult means you are “tuned out” of your child’s life, uninterested in their interests, personalities, and emotional health. Being completely focused on your child means you…

Yeah, not every single moment is a “quality time” moment.

Yeah, that’s a killer deal for an extremely well-known designer. In terms of OdlR or someone like Vera Wang, it’s a great price for a dress. In the grand scheme of dresses and weddings, $4,000 ain’t peanuts.

If that’s her dream, it’s hers alone.

The most upsetting part is that $4,000 for a dress is considered “lower-end” by many.

I got married in a very pretty but, generally speaking, one-time-use David’s Bridal dress. I was going to give it away or something... it’s served its purpose, you know? NOPE. NOT HAPPENING. That shit is pressed and preserved and still sitting in my mom’s storage closet 5 years later. Moms can be just as weird about…

I hope that’s the case! I’d really like to think that people are smart enough to choose the marriage model (or not marrying at all, of course) that works for them. That would show a lot of awesome self-knowledge and respect for romantic partners. What I’m responding to are the quoted stats in the article that indicate…
