Wow. "...is a place where those bound by drugs, alcohol, gangs and violence can find an "Ounce of Hope." More like ounces of soft-focused ill-gotten shiny. Look at that bling!

One time a stray kitten twined around my legs as I was saying goodbyes to my family before my friend and I roadtripped back to uni for the semester. Minutes into the drive, I started to itch furiously. An hour later, I pulled over from the 5 Fwy and took my pants off to see all the flea bites all over my legs,…

I get what you are saying. Many of my friends are historically/culturally Catholic, Muslim and Jewish and while they may not consider themselves to be currently devout, larger society seems to lump in these old or distant religion and cultural associations when folks are profiled. Its frustrating, especially because…

Pulp Cup

I totally appreciate your comment because it reminds me why I pulled out my credit card and placed an order in the first place. I got CAH's holiday thang for myself because I needed to laugh during what can be, for some and for me, an amazingly hollow time of year. While I totally enjoy my year-round efforts to bring…

Congrats to your friend! The comics are pretty funny and some are INTENSE which is suiting my mood this season. I think.

Santa's funeral envelope earned a comment from our postman. He's all "You know, I get all these letters from kids to Santa and here I am delivering news that Santa is dead and the reindeer are in jail" ::insert wtf face::

I bought sticky magnet backings and plan to make fridge magnets with the stickers. I have to say that superstitious folks saw my Instagram post of the personalized obituary card and FREAKED OUT. I have no plans to check out in 2015 but apparently I'm tempting death by acknowledging the card with specific dates and…

HA! I ordered the Cards Against Humanity's Ten Days or Whatever of Kwanzaa gifts for yours truly this year and it is full of win. I'm deep in finals week and not able to devote time to solve the super secret puzzle that is part of the gifts. But I have enjoyed opening my lonely mailbox during the past few weeks to…

Lucas Oil needs to be boycotted; all their corporate and social partnerships need to be examined and put on notice as well (looking at you GEICO insurance).

She just resigned!

Double meat animal style with grilled onions with animal style fries may cause gastro issues but it heals all ruffled feathers.

Several years ago I heard from my mom that a girl who was in my Catholic youth ministry back in the day was getting married. My mom is closies with her parents at the same parish, received an invite plus one and decided to take my aunt. My brother received an invite plus one and decide to take his girlfriend. I…

I have the link to the story. I am pacing around the house trying to find someone local to share it with so I can screech and throw my hands in the air in the presence of devoted HP readers.

I recently jumped on the Birkenstock (Gizeh) train and will never get off. All Aboard! I've worn them 3 months straight with the occasional foray into trainers and salt water sandal. So comfy. Much joy. They are the best. I've done pretty much every summer activity in them except water skiing and that's only because…

Speaking of stereotypes, I saw something called "Gay Jeans" yesterday. I had a good belly laugh because I know my butt will never fit into a pair of these but several guy friends immediately placed orders. Maybe they will be able to use the fabric process to make other jean items to fit a range of body types. http://ww…

I love this vid version of "Happy" featuring nuns in Baltimore. (Full disclosure: I have two aunts in this order and they are visible at 1:33 and 4:03).

Even now! I spent a week in Houston and was amazed to see two local children under 8 playing with the tourist children at a local park near a sno cone shop. They relayed that they were allowed to leave the house, bike to the park unsupervised and play until it got dark or a thunderstorm interrupted. And they told this…

I have 2 slightly different shaped breasts (~38G) so I totally get what you are saying being contained. Wow. Maybe I'm impressed with Enell because so many other sports bras have failed spectacularly at keeping me secured. Well I have had them for almost 2 years and so far so good but I will be on the lookout for…

i'm going to order one of these! thanks for the recommend.
