My friend rescued a cat that ended up getting a cabortion when she took it in to be spayed and it was pregnant.

I'm so old. When I read your first italicized phrase, my head music piped up with Britney Spears singing "From the bottom of my broken heart..."

• organized viewing parties for The Bachelor, with people who don't talk through the important parts but do talk through the inane parts.

YES. That movie gave me such a McAvoy problem. He is just the sexiest motherfucker.

My uncle raises cows and he and a local butcher have this agreement, along with one of his friends who is part owner of a couple cows. They also split the bull secks fee for when it's time to make more calves. The end result of their pooled resources is they all have high quality, ethically sourced meat. I bring a…

That's a good point, and I think I agree with some kind of explicit rule. Any time there is a direct power imbalance at play, rules are necessary. I never really had much interaction with TAs in undergrad because I went to a fairly small school (only ~6,000 undergrads) and professors always taught the courses, not…

The only professor I ever wanted to fuck actually did have to grade my TS Eliot paper. I got an A, but I did not fuck him. He did pair me with the cutest dude in class on the assignment, so I got a date out of it at least. At the end of each semester, this professor wrote a poem about his students (it was funnier and…

I grew up in Snellville. Not only do these poor kids have to live in one of Atlanta's lamest suburbs, they're getting humiliated by the town barber. This is awful. Children of Snellville, it gets better! Probably not until after high school when you can get the fuck out, but there is a world beyond Snellville and your…

I grew up in Snellville, and that was my first thought. Where everybody's somebody, except this poor kid. God I hate Snellville. I still live in Atlanta, but no way in hell would you coax me back to the burbs. Not Cobb, not Fulton, not Gwinnett, none of it.

I'm SURE this is real. I grew up like two miles from that store, and I checked the Google machine and it's legit.

Yes, happening again. They were so close to losing a second Super Bowl in 15 years, as opposed to winning their fourth in 15 years. No one knows what Pats fans suffer!

Seriously! "How does a woman keep the bathroom clean in a house full of boys?" I HAVE THE ANSWER OOH PICK ME PICK ME I'M HOLDING MY HAND UP SO HIGH!

I don't think he was talking about that Manning. I love Eli as much as the next ... OK, apparently it's just Barry, but when people using last-name-only Manning, it's usually not Eli.

I mean, in the privacy of my own home, I'll be like, "Where are mommy's little shitbags?" in reference to my three cats, or when they're bugging me, be like, "Go bug the shit out of dad now!" (I know you capitalize Mom and Dad like that when they are substituted for names, as in the instance above, but I just can't in…

Wait, why are all the rich old Southern ladies wearing fake pearls? Rich old Southern ladies have real pearls, and lots of them. It's so dumb but it's bugging me. Rich old Southern ladies are the ones who are going to be assholes ABOUT fake pearls (also, fuck off rich old Southern ladies, no one cares what anyone wore…

Goddamnit, Kinja, just let me reply the first time!

I have lived in Nashville, it's also cheap and really fun. My only ding on Nashville is that it can be a little homogenous, but still, good town.

UGH. People who abuse data like this threaten the availability of data for those who use it for good.

Definitions vary, but Census defines it as birth year beginning in 1981. I'm 30, and I have two younger sisters who are 26 and 19, respectively. My childhood was definitely different than the 19-year-old's, but we're the same generation.

Good god, that stuff is EXPENSIVE. Like, all of it. The most expensive thing in my beauty regimen is my little pot of Origins GinZing, which, at $30, seemed EXORBITANT. My daily makeup is like, some powder, some mascara, maybe some blush, with a base of super basic moisturizer. How do people afford all that makeup???
