Me and my roommate are moving to Alabama in a month. And we're both super liberal, but we're used to living in a red state, so we don't think that will be that much different, we already spend our days gritting our teeth. Aside from the politics, the difference should be good. We're moving from a good but small apt…

Is it really all that normal for women to get more chatty after orgasm? It makes me super sleepy, it never occurred to me that wasn't normal for everyone until I got more active on the internet. It just makes sense - it uses up energy.

I'm a woman and I think you're full of shit. Allow me to elaborate:

Wendy Davis is my new hero.

Literally crying right now.

You know, she has to stay on topic for the entire 13 hours. I'm sure even if she ran out of constituent stories to share (which hopefully she won't) she'd find something else to talk about, but still. That's a lot of time to fill.

He makes my skin crawl, but at least it gives her a chance to rest her voice.

I do most of my clothes shopping at Lane Bryant because it's the main plus sized clothing store in my area that at least some of the time has fashionable clothing. I'm somewhere between a 14/16 and an 18/20 for most of their shirts/dresses. It was so weird, when I first started shopping there, to have to hunt for…

I'm so annoyed right now. I have a road trip in just a little over a week. My roommate and I are going down to the new town we're moving to at the end of July to look for housing. We're going to hang out with all our friends down there.

I always feel in the minority when I say this, but I actually do hope they remake the Harry Potter movies some day. Not for a good twenty years or so minimum, but some day down the line, when a new generation is getting into it for the first time. I think the movies were good, nowhere near the worst adaptations I've…

My understanding is that they were 14 and 17 when the relationship started (a 3 year difference). I believe Kaitlyn had a birthday first, meaning they were 18 and 14 for awhile, but that the younger girl has also had a birthday now. But yeah, different news stories are being pretty vague about it, I'm still not 100%…

UGH BED BUGS KILL THEM ALL

....you guys know the Daily Currant is like the Onion but less well known so it keeps getting mistaken as a legitimate source...right?

Yeah, mine was at 2.2 before surgery and went up to 4.2 6 months after. Normal range now is supposed to be .5-4.5, but it's very controversial as you said. When they were narrowing it there was a big push for as narrow as .3-3.0 as a normal range.

After I had half my thyroid removed I started developing all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. And my TSH doubled from pre-surgery levels. But it was still within the normal range (a range that has been narrowed once already, and which isn't meant to be the end all be all of diagnosis) so clearly I couldn't by…

Supper tonight is pizza. Both were made with whole wheat crusts, pre-made by a fantastic local bakery. One was ricotta, spinach, tomato, avocado, basil and mozzarella. The other is goat cheese, spinach, avocado, asparagus, basil, rosemary and mozzarella. Both are fantastic. I enjoy making up dishes, it's been too…

That definitely sounds like smart advise. That may come from a place of cynicism but it's still solid. It's just the whole head vs heart dilemma. I know what my head is saying, I just worry what my stupid heart is gonna do. It's basically a dumb teenager right now and emotions make you do the wacky. I need to get…

Oh boy.

I just....really disliked the original Dove ad. So much. So I found this amusing. Of course it's not true for every guy, that wasn't the point.

My former landlord in college had a rescued chihuahua from a breeding farm. Poor thing had had her hips broken and never set right so she could barely walk, and she had seizures. Seriously, avoid pet stores. Breeding farms are awful. I understand adopting a rescue from a shelter isn't always a viable option for…
