I sure don't use utensils! I just pick at it until I'm satisfied and then my husband comes home and sees we're having "crime scene" chicken for dinner. It's not my fault Costco makes such good smelling rotisserie chickens!

I was doing that and I hit both a weight and an activity plateau and just felt like I was failing at everything and then I had some blood tests come back that showed me my blood oxygen levels were at record highs. Since I have a lung condition it was so thrilling to see my body was making progress inside, even if I…

I had cancer when I was in college. I was still on my parents' plan (though the insurance attempted to drop me for withdrawing from classes to get chemo) but when I got engaged the next year I figured I'd already been with the guy for 5 years, why have a long engagement? I had a post-college job b then but they didn't…

I lived rural. Then the suburbs came out to meet me here. In a way it's nice because going to Target is no longer an all-day affair with a trip into town but it's really changed the community I live in. The farmlands are switching to subdivisions.

In her interview from early this morning, she called Matt "glib" bringing up some great memories. I assume epic trolling on her part and I'm sure if you gave her your contact info she'd be at the party and she'd show up with pics of Matt in whatever he wears in his dressing room. I assume a diaper and feather boa.

I'm getting stressed just thinking about Christmas. Every year it seems to end with my husband buying me something to make up for how he didn't help that year around the holidays. I don't want things, I want a partner! He can be a great help if he wants to all 11 months of the year but December means he fails. Not…

This works especially well when you're cruising. You can buy excursions through your cruise line but there's often options that are so much cheaper when you pair up. I can pay $229/person for a cruise excursion in Rome, $450/2 for a private car to drive me to all the Rome spots, $500/4 for that same private car or…

I'm the same way. I won't go to mass because our priest is the hate-filled kind but I do hours in the perpetual adoration chapel that always soothe me because it's just me and Jesus and he seems pretty cool.

My church has about 1000 members but about 400 that attend mass with a somewhat regular schedule. We have maybe 8-10 people who like the Catholic League. These are the same people who hold a prayer group to bring America back to God (aka pray the Obama away) and go to PP to pray. About 50% of the other 390 people are…

I take my dog running at the park and when I switch to walking a lot of people like to talk to me about how funny my dog runs or chat because she's a pitbull. One old guy chatted with me for a second and then dropped into conversation "It's so nice to see someone of your kind out here" and at first I really thought he…

Or the person could be recovering from an injury and working on arm motions with small weights so they don't re-injure themselves. My physical therapist has me do that quite often. The point is, you don't know what that person is doing and why and no one needs your side eye.

The cancer updates. Thank you for all those "a child with cancer wishes just 1 thing" or pictures of kids with cancer or tubes coming out of them. I'm a cancer survivor and I just love seeing those pictures everywhere to remind me of the worst time in my life. I usually chew the person out and block/unfriend them…

I swear they allowed it once and then the feature just disappeared. You could hit the X and then go back and change a word as long as you did it before anyone else replied.

I'm in MO too and was just at a gas station yesterday with one of those and finally read who it went to. I was shocked. I'm glad I didn't get lazy and just put my donations there instead of driving a few extra miles. Next time I'm in town I'll make sure this month's donations go to the right spot.

I live in St. Louis. It's often close to impossible for me to find direct flights unless I take Southwest. Going to Orlando through Southwest meant I got there in 3ish hours and got to bring my luggage for $79+fees one-way. Other airlines wanted me to layover for 5 hours and then add in the flights to DFW or Atlanta…

I agree. I bet if they re-run this in a year we'll see songza high on the list. I still use Pandora but my new go-to service is Songza. I'm actually playing it right now.

Sorry you do boring work.

In my hometown this is the first year in a decade that teens haven't seen a decrease in opportunities. Apparently all the employers figured out young people will work for less money and won't complain about being taken advantage of like the adults will. My 16 year old brother just became a trainer at the job he's had…

Are you my old boss? I did an unpaid internship that I later found out was a volunteer position too and that I also discovered used to be a paying job till the state and county eliminated the pay. And this is in the legal system. It apparently worked so well that when one worker retired they just pushed another up the…

There were so many times when I was working the order of protection docket where men would ask if their consent to an OP or their being found a danger would affect their chances joining the military. In some ways I was hoping it would so they'd feel a real punishment for their actions but in reality I didn't want it…
