How do you stand it? I'd go nuts!!

I was that underling. One of my first jobs out of college was a PR minion for a doctor who was also an author. He was thoroughly disliked — he was abrasive, rude, loud, and believed himself to be the second-coming of Jonas Salk.

Any time Adultosaur is involved shit's going to be hysterical. No joke, sometimes when things have been tense around here I find one of her posts and poke her. She's made of love and kittens and marijuana.

That sucks! College policies are the worsttt.

Actually, I'm obligated by the university to pay for a meal plan. Which I can't eat.

I went all the way up the chain to the university administration. Basically they have another week to sort it out or I'm just gonna sue. I don't have thousands of dollars to waste on hamburgers without buns and no desserts.

I have actually spoken to the head of dining services and the head of the disability services office. They were both useless.

Had a meeting with the dean of the entire undergraduate college last week, so things should clear up soon. And if not, I can always sue 'em.

It's just such emotional turmoil because everyone (in…

Ha. I say that every morning when my husband is getting dressed :P

As a bonus, it's hilarious and adorable to hear my two year old say "Hi Penis!" when I change his diaper in the morning.

BAM. All the stars to you today Tracy, all the stars!!

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use…

I overheard my then preschool age son telling people he had a peanut allergy, when he just didn't like them. I swooped right in and explained to him that that's mean to people with real allergies, and that he might end up being jabbed with an epi-pen if an adult saw him accidentally eating something with peanuts. …

Yeah I straight up won't order something that could be made with the very common ingredient I'm allergic to because mistakes happen. I don't go to restaurants where I think there's a strong chance of cross contamination either because although I haven't reacted to food prepared with the allergen it's not worth the…

THIS! (or perhaps THESE?)

I'm in college right now, and the dining hall staff just doesn't have a clue. It's so painful because they're so earnest and they're trying so hard, they're just doing all the wrong things. The end result is that I still don't get what I need, but I look like a real ass because I'm always…

My family has a serious MSG allergy. My father and sister becoming violently ill and my dads blood pressure goes crazy. My grandfather had it so bad each MSG reaction sent him to the hospital. And you know how we deal with it? If we go somewhere that doesn't brag its made from scratch you don't order anything that…

well, when I tripped, banged my face into an open cupboard door, and had a horrible black eye, I was pretty glad to have concealor. It was hard getting pitying/ condescending stares from strangers. I wanted to wear a sign that said, "just clumsy!" It kind of gave me an insight into how we look down on people who…

Here's a good one for you: my births (2) were completely normal and without complications.

Oh sweet jesus no. With 14 weeks and 5 days left..I can't read this (who am I kidding. Yes I can..I'll be squirming in my seat the whole time)

If you do, in fact, want kids, you should pay no damn attention to these stories. Don't read them. Use your own intuition and advice from people you trust to make this decision. These stories are not well intentioned. It's a bizarre form of showing off.
