BECAUSE HE WASN'T HARDCORE ENOUGH.

Leaving tomorrow, and about three quarters done packing.

It's not going to change if I just move and he's not in this 100% - it's just giong to breed resentment.

He also claims to be some kind of master criminal check cashing czar:

Sooooo, he proved that people on Jezebel are decent human beings. Wow. Score one for the MRA team... amirite.

I believe it's an allergy to the coloring Carmine, which is derived from cochineal bugs and not an allergy to the wavelength.

Funny story: I made a rainbow jello juice cup for my daughter's 2nd grade class for her birthday, and one little boy said he didn't eat the pink because he's…

I feel you. A few years ago now, I went out partying, dressed as a beer (I even laminated my own custom beer label to fit around my mid-section), got completely hammered, apparently left myself a voicemail that I only found days later (spoiler alert: it was mostly unintelligible).

This should be filed under Misogyny instead of Witchcraft. :(

Brownies are a type of fairy/goblin/trickster. They exist in many cultures. My family's preferred "brownie" are the Menehune, the Hawai'ian version.

Yup. She was 100% alley cat and all white but she was long and pointy like a siamese. Not vocal like them though.

FINALLY!!

Growing up, when my mother wanted the final word in discussions with my dad she'd say 'remember I saved your life.' Finally I asked her how she'd saved him. CPR? Heimlich? I wouldn't have believed the story coming from anybody else, but she is one of the most practical, honest people I know so I gotta go with it....

My parents' house has a ghost. The house is relatively new, actually, and so there's no actual excuse for a ghost to be there. My father claims there was an old road that ran past the place my parents, and that's the reason for the ghost to be there. Who knows?
