I was flying from Phoenix to Denver, where I was then supposed to take a bus to Boulder for a concert. Unfortunately, I started feeling TERRRRRRRRIBLE as soon as the flight took off. Incredibly nauseated. I asked the stewardess for Pepto or anything, but she only had Alka-Seltzer. Not helpful. It was a quick flight,…

Eh. Not all that different from my cat. She will go nuts for toy mice, play fetch, gets in to bags, climbs on furniture, tries to climb the window when there are squirrels outside, would climb on the closet rods if I let her in the closets, gnaws on cardboard boxes, knocks her water bowl over, etc., etc., etc. …

If I wear a fitted vintage dress (read: no stretch) for too long, I get a terrible stomach ache (like gas pains). I always end up thanking my lucky stars that I don't have to wear a corset.

As a childless educator of small children, this has always been a difficult issue for me. Every year, I have an instance where a child is sobbing about going home and telling mom or dad that they've behaved badly that day. He or she is sobbing because the consequence at home is a whooping. Regardless of my personal…

GOD I LOVE POOP STORIES!

My sisters and I also pulled ramen back out of our throats as kids. So fun. I'd probably still do it today if I could eat ramen.

Nah, first grade can handle it. On Tuesday, one of my students told the science lab teacher, "Ms. Jetpants is STRICT!" Definitely the first time I'd been described as strict.

I love this idea.

I get ONE day of PMS two or three days before my period, and it is mighty. I teach first grade, and I feel bad for those kiddos on my PMS day. Everything they do irritates the crap out of me, and I come down on them like an iron first.

Good to know! I already have a cart full of stuff on Oriental Trading for my classroom. I also managed to find them on amazon and ebay yesterday. I probably don't need a dozen...

Seriously, WHAT do you call those water things that jiggle in your hand? In junior high, we called them "slick willies," but I don't think that's what they're actually called. I want to buy one for my bestie, but I haven't seen one in about 15 years.

I agree that a toast menu and charging that much for toast is absolutely ridiculous.

Yep. I believe this. I tested negative for celiac, but was sick as a dog for TWO YEARS until I gave up gluten products. The few times I've accidentally eaten wheat since then, I've been very sick. The few times I've accidentally eaten barley - no adverse reaction.

I know several people who have been bitten by brown recluse spiders sitting down on the toilet in the dark. And none of this urban legend crap. I'm for real. I was bitten by one in my bed. We have way too many brown recluses in Missouri.

Nice! I hadn't heard the English version or seen that video.

I LOVE WATER WAR. I've been wanting to play it since Jimmy first started playing it on the show. I'm just waiting for summer...then watch out.

I teach young children, and I know there are students in my class who get "whooped," usually with objects, when they have done something wrong at school.

For a few years, I bought a fantastic calendar from a indie book store called Cat Lovers Against the Bomb. This year, a friend got me a Kittendales calendar....shirtless men with kittens.

Seriously. Thanks for the spoiler alert, Jezebel. *eyeroll*
