Please write that! I'm in Seattle and need another reason to eye different areas and wonder what the hell is going on!

The most telltale signs are: do you see white spots on your tonsils or the back of your throat?

Yay! I got out of the greys after 5 years in the old system and was so happy - then they switched, now I'm grey, and I’m pretty sure it’ll be another 5 years before I’m noticed again.

Koh Gen Do’s lotion II which is basically Korean toner that preps your skin after washing to absorb the products you put on it after. Ive been all about the Korean double cleansing thing and with this, essentially water type thing that you splash on after cleaning, I've put on serum after that that my skin hasn't had…

You know what's ridiculous? I bought my last black tie black slinky dress from Amazon for $30. I needed spanx (thirty-something mama belly) but I'm pretty happy with it. Patty boutik. Very slinky.

Medical Question to all Jezzies! Woke up this morning to another screaming case of strep confirmed by an urgent care doc. Tonsillectomy is recommended because this is my (count ‘em) seventh or eighth time getting strep in a 2 year period. I actually just recently had it in December.

My son has asked for a class on how to organize and tidy up. I think this - and a finance class - should be mandatory for all humans.

Second that please! I adore Rilla of Ingleside.

I worked for a republican billionaire as the only person of color. I enjoyed the show, honestly. It was so amazingly different and helped my writing immensely.

I dream about creating a charitable foundation and putting 3/4 in immediately (about 600 million now?) so I could do that work for my rest of my life and my kids and grandkids if they want. I seriously dream about which friends I would hire to work there. Then I would buy a house on the water and get a dog, and a…

Time and routine to make then trust you. We adopted an extremely skittish cat (my husband picked her because he said no one else would) and it took 6 months for her to let us pet her. That being said, she’s a love bug though still skittish 11 years later (our fault, we had kids. New layer of complexity for her).

I had a Berger and I was someone’s Berger. Sigh. Anticipation kills reality sometimes.

My father in law never changed his children’s diapers, let alone one of his grandchildren’s. Also he didn’t raise his children (his words) and had little to no contact with them until they were able to speak and learn and he could start to teach them physics and shit. I think it was due to genius level intellectuals…

I was neurotic, and don't recommend that route. :/

Going to address your last question: I think men do actually verbally abuse their sons about as much as women do daughters. Just, part of the abuse is to be a man and deal with it, so we don’t hear about it as much. But definitely, when you have an abusive mother to daughters, chances are in the same family if there…

Not gonna lie, I have a friend who’s daughter died of e coli poisoning (she was 4, same age as my son). I’m very, very careful with that stuff now, and while i won’t avoid Chipotle (it’s a freak thing that’s hard to control) I am definitely cautious of watching for symptoms of it.

Ugh I was 16 and at my school’s carnival. My friend had filled these flasks with whatever she could find in her father’s liquor cabinet. So we drank a medley of Kahlua and baileys and vodka and whiskey in the hallway, then went out to find our upper class men crushes. I ended up under a trailer crying for some still…

Kings quest IV: the perils of rosella. Loved it! Now I'm going to go look for it and relive my 8 year old self.

This isn't a porn? How is this not porn. I'm so confused.

Being a mother isn't an excuse to be an asshole.
