Tell your man that you would like to let your hormones normalize (6 months or a year?) for a while so that you can be certain what the pill is and isn't doing to your body. I am guessing you have been on it for at least a few years. It sounds like his turn is up to take the b.c. responsibility. Also, I would totally…

I agree. We roared our displeasure and maybe others elsewhere did too. They removed it and I am satisfied by that. I think that is them admitting the wrong or at least listening to their audience. I used to read VICE when I could find their mag. for free. It's been years since I have seen one though, so I only read…

I think it shows how vile they truly are, without us having to go over to VICE and give them page hits. I can see your point though. What a disgusting thing to do. Fashion as an industry is already bad enough. They managed to up the ante.

Lifehaker had a cool discussion going about the "lifehacks your dad taught you". I really enjoyed it. Some of them were really nice, and some taught me something. You might enjoy reading those.

Have you ever written him a letter explaining some of these feelings? Even if you don't send it, I am getting a sense (from your wording) that maybe it would be good for you. I don't mean to condescend by any means. I just have been reading all of these stories and your dad is still around to communicate with. It…

high five!

I thought race hate was something that fell into the "not okay" category. (Some of) These comments are disheartening.

Where can you buy ice cream for $3?! 1991? Around where I live you get an ice cream bar for $3. I am serious.

You have internet access so you are still pretty privileged.

Kiwi skins are nutritious? They have such an unpleasant texture, I thought they were more of a husk than an edible peel./?

I love your handle! It is very intimidating and cute all at once!

Maybe your granddad was honored/humbled by the experience? I think people can change and if he was a good guy by you then maybe he deserved that time in the spotlight, so to speak. Time does curious things to us all. I get your mixed feelings though.

I like to use a pink lipstick as blush. If you don't have super sensitive skin, give your favorite lipstick a try on your cheeks. If it's a dark or vibrant shade, start slow with only a little. I also recommend experimenting before you are going to shower anyway, so if you don't like it you aren't stuck with it for…

I wonder how many bad/absentee parents spend these "honor" days feeling guilt and shame. I hope it's all of them. I mean, if I created a life and then abandoned all responsibility, I believe I would die inside seeing the ads for "world's greatest dad/mom". That has to sting a bit. As it should.

Yes, the father daughter dances at weddings are also hard for me to watch.

I think asking a close friend/relative to walk you down the aisle is a great idea. It is your day so do it how you want. Traditions are nice, but they aren't law.

The article idea has so many possibilities! There are many among us who either lost their dads, wish to lose their dads, and those like you who have a dad that you just aren't that close to. Weddings already seem to be hugely stressful events where no one is sure what the "right" thing to do is. There is a giant…

What a great idea Ms. Breslaw. You should do it on Jez yourself. I think MANY women would be greatly helped out by a piece like that. My father passed away and I am unmarried, but I would be interested in reading your article should it ever come to fruition.

I am going to share that with my man. Thanks!

That is a sweet memory. You brought tears to my eyes. It really is the little things in life that matter. Even though you didn't get to have your dad around for long, you have a memory of him spending time with you and that is priceless.
