He probably will now, just so he can say he shushes men, too.

You are a hero.

It's usually only done in situations where they are looking for volunteers, as a way to entice people. For instance, after hurricane Katrina, Outback Steakhouse was one of the first restaurants in the New Orleans are to reopen to service relief workers and people returning to their homes, many of whom no longer had…

When were you in 8th grade? Was is late 90's? Because I'm p sure I had that same color. Still not sure who in the fuck it was supposed to look good on, cause it sure wasn't me.

Yep. They don't make contacts strong enough for me, and my prescription is so strong I can't get glasses that are functional enough for driving on their own. I have to wear a -17 contact lens PLUS glasses with an additional -3 /-5 lens. That means I have to have a contact prescription, plus two separate glasses…

Oh snap. I was just thinking I didn't have a friend like that. Then I remembered when some girl cut off the trolley-bus (a bus that looks like a trolley, obvs) that was designated for my best friend (the bride with the wedding party) at her wedding stopped her car to wait for the valet, then refused (rudely and…

I definitely succumbed to the idea of wanting to "get it over with" too. I was 17, and thought it might be more enjoyable with an older (24), more experienced guy I knew from work. WRONG. It wasn't painful, but it was such an embarrassing letdown. Plus I'm pretty sure he told all his roommates what was up.

I refuse to eat tuna salad without capers. We go though a jar every two weeks, probably.

I'd never seen this. It's def my favorite GIF.

This just made me want to have an impromptu dance party.

It was actually the source of a major fight between my mom and grandma (her mil, who was always really terrible to her) every single year. My grandma would buy the Christmas Barbie, then want me to leave it in the package as an investment. My mom would insist you couldn't give a child a toy they couldn't play with,…

See, I always equate the charms with pieces of poo, which definitely does not help matters.

How did they denote boy vs girl? I always wanted this toy, but my parents were super into educational toys, and my grandmother always gave me collectible Barbies that I hated, so I never got one.

It is ALL TOO REAL. My husband and I laughed like crazy, but my three year old was super disappointed when we told her she could not have it. It's still not as bad as the Gooey Louie game. So, so gross.

Give it a a few more weeks, and it will almost certainly be uncomfortable. I was comfortable at six months. By the time my daughter was born, early at 36 weeks, I was so uncomfortable that I didn't even freak out that much when I realized she was coming early. I was SO UNCOMFORTABLE. (It didn't help matters that I…

I used to walk around (well, waddle around) singing to the tune of "Wobble Wobble" by the estimable 504 Boys, just replace wobble with waddle. I just couldn't help myself any time I watched myself walk in a mirror, which happened often at work.

I spent nine hours on my side in my hospital bed, because if I moved, my kids heartbeat would stop. So much fun. Thankfully I had a fabulous epidural. (Although the mad dash to the operating/delivery room after the nurses moved me to my back to transport me, forgot about me for 10 min or so, then had to run me through…

What ever you do, don't read "What to Expect When You're Expecting". It's basically just a list of things that can go wrong, and it p much gave me insomnia from all the worries it brought up.

Nope, grits are not wheat. Both are made from corn; polenta has a finer texture and is less gritty than grits. Someone posted a link with more details somewhere up thread.

I'm thinking that people are more interested in learning how to butcher their own animals for meat, not for thrills. If you want to raise and butcher your own chickens but have never spent much time around a farm, it could be a real learning experience. (I wonder how many people would not learn what they expected to…
