How about fuck, then kill, marry, then kill, kill, then kill again just to be sure? Any and all would require a follow up Silkwood shower.

It is definitely my happy place. Artists, farms, quaint, weird, progressive (except for the north end, Navy base and all), and way more affordable than the mainland.

Whidbey.

I grew up 45 minutes east of Disney. So much cool, but it requires driving further out of the Disney comfort zone than most turistas are willing to travel. Lots of uncool as well, hence my eternal love/hate, and the reason why I now live in practically the exact opposite corner of the continental US. I love Carl…

This is exactly what I've seen in so much of Florida. The Old Florida character and charm is being chased away in favor of deed-restricted blandness. Unfortunately the Old Florida social norms remain.

I am from Florida, the "Space Coast" specifically. I'm sure there must be some obscure German term to describe the profound depth of the love/hate I feel for it. Growing up during the heyday of the space program was magical, and something I didn't fully appreciate until moving away. On the flip side, there was the…

I love spending time in Seattle, but after a few days I am more than happy to return to my island full of old hippies and non-hipster artists.

Seriously, I cannot drink anymore. Alcohol has significant negative interactions with almost all of my meds. I’ve tried planning ahead for special occasions by skipping certain meds for a day or two before drinking, and even then alcohol triggers massive inflammatory responses in my hands and feet. Sorry, wish I had…

Big titty-wrap hugs and much empathy. Welcome to Chron Club!

The infection is not chronic, but it often leaves victims with recurrent inflammatory symptoms.

Seconded. I was born with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is symptomatically similar to RA and lupus, and I also have chronic Epstein-Barr, a result of catching mono at age 40. When I'm having a flare, the lightest touch can be pure misery. Viruses that might give someone with a healthy immune system the sniffles can…

I really fucking hope you're kidding. Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases are more common in women, and they are very, very real.

Unrealistic expectations cause divorce.

And a Golden Globe.

Thanks Seth, as an old, I was ashamed to admit that I did not get "fleek" and "thirsty" and was too embarrassed to ask my teenage spawn what those words meant. Then again, this could all be an elaborate prank, as you whippersnappers are known to pull those kind of shenanigans on us olds.

I pulled off that look for years while playing the role of good Navy wife. Liz Claiborne, Izod, hair in a very proper shoulder length bob with subtle highlights, the most boring fucking manicure known to womankind, etc. Thankfully one day Doodlehubs and I decided that we had had enough of that culture, and stopped…

My childhood was a nightmare. The biggest cause of that nightmare was my father. I have very few positive memories of him. The first thing that comes to mind when I try to call up any happy times spent together is watching reruns of ST TOS and In Search Of..., Nimoy's crypto/weird science pseudo-documentary show. …

I had the displeasure of meeting Phyllis once. She was at UF for a debate with Sarah Weddington (SW was the young attorney who argued Roe v Wade in the Supreme Court case). I was working front desk at the hotel where both were staying. Phyllis was cold and abrupt. All business, no pleasantries, demeanor towards…

The officer teaching the class said that pokey, painful foliage would deter intruders from attempting to enter via windows that they were planted under. Of course they wouldn't have stopped the burglar who broke down my back door. Or the roomie's drunk buddy who tried to rape me. Most of the home safety "tips"…

This is my favorite thing on the interwebs ever today! If only Adam Baldwin didn't give me such a sad...
