Oh my god, I went to Ikea two months ago because I needed bookcases. Even though I knew precisely what I needed and the number and all, it still took me an hour to get through that fucking store. I cannot possibly go back for at least a year.

Aw, thanks. I always read SNS, and I’ll comment if I have anything helpful to say, but I’ve never straight-up submitted a question before. I hope they don’t scorn me.

So my dog has cancer. I’m assuming. We get the biopsy back in a few days but looking at the X-rays with the vet - I don’t see what else it could be. She’s 9. That doesn’t seem old enough to me. She still runs around like a puppy. But the cancer is in her jaw so at some point she just won’t be able to eat any more.

I hate how fucking redneck everything is here in Tennessee. Even in Nashville I don’t give a shit what anyone says, there’s so many more backwards troglodytes than progressive, forward-thinking people. It’s really fucking discouraging. That’s all. Hope everyone had a great week.

I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. I've noticed that when your job sucks it can make a lot of things suck.

I most likely won’t have a father or mother at my wedding (I’m estranged due to family violence). I’d love to hear stories and anecdotes from other brides who have similar family situations and how they dealt with it (bonus if your in-laws are wonderful). I’d love to hear stuff to give me some hope that I’m not…

This has been a terrible week. Nice is one of my favorite places in the world. So, a little levity is in order. Last week a commenter here (Wife of Mars I think) said my cat should have a Louise Belcher hat, so here it is! You can see the wires I used for structure, not to worry, I bent the ends so they don’t poke…

UPDATE: So, I wrote two weeks ago about how I am an attorney and, with my firm and the great lawyers and assistants I get to work with, represent some women who have been abused by a guard in prison. Like I said then, I was waiting for a decision from the judge on whether the supervisors of the bad guard would get out…

Hey, everyone. I don’t normally do SNS, but I’m hoping for some home-decor-stuff advice. Where can I buy a quilt for my bed without breaking the bank? We’ve been using a brown duvet from Target as a cover, which is fine, but I have a little extra cash just now, so I’d like to get a bed cover I actually like, ideally a…

His wife ain’t never gonna take his ass to Red Lobster. Alas, I don’t want to get sidetracked by tasteless mofos. Moving on.

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

hey guys. i’m cooking filipino food tonight. looking forward to it.

Driving is prioritized above other forms of transportation in this country—it doesn’t have to be that way. Cities could spend more money on public transportation and encouraging cycling and improving walkability. They don’t, in large part because 1) there’s a lot more money and power involved when it comes to cars,…

The sad (yet unsurprising) truth is that drivers who hit and kill cyclists are rarely punished in any real, tangible way. The charges are often minor and result in suspended licenses or fines of less than $1,000. A driver in Ohio got off scot-free after he struck a group of five cyclists last year, killing two. His…

Yeah, but it’s 5AM in New York, so you can drunkenly call someone at 1:30AM and say “STILL PARTYIN’ BITCHES!”.

Go to any bar in America at closing time and you’ll find at least one Nice Guy drunkenly letting the mask slip.

90% sure it’d be substantially harder to breathe with this than without.

Does it though? I've never had an issue come up that warranted the need for a snorkel. Am I doing it all wrong?

You forgot Bekkki, the whitest Becky.
