I have never done a juice cleanse but have done the Master cleanse (10 days) and multiple water fasts. My longest water fast was 21 days, and part of that was breaking the fast with an additional 5 days of juice in addition to the preparatory 3 days of juice. I will add that even if you are seeking a juice fast for…

I am feeling really shitty for moving back to my hometown, which includes an address at my parent's house, after law school. Partially, I did this because I'm a millennial in the current job crisis, but mainly because my mother is an emotionally blackmailing individual who also has a terminal lung cancer diagnosis. I…

Glad to hear that you are successfully battling your addiction. I think one of the worst things parents can do to their children, other than outright abuse, is to make them feel unloved. So sorry that you had to face all of that.

Yep, Apple and Moses are going to go fucking crazy as teenagers in anti-GOOP rebellion. This is just the start.

I have to say that the only reason I still identify as a Christian, just writing that phrase makes me cringe because of the inherent connotation, is that I was raised in an extremely tolerant PCUSA church. Nationally, we were one of the first denominations to have women ministers and have recently sanctioned gay…

I wholeheartedly agree with this post's intention to revile the poor grammar of recent "popular" fiction. However, since I disdain hypocrisy more, I cannot condone this article, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

Since you are open to urban fantasy, I cannot help but recommend that you read the Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane. I slammed through the first 5 books of the series in a week and a half in January. It is definitely a step off the normal path of perfect/anointed characters obviously winning the day because they…

I just wanted to thank everyone who replied to me two weeks ago here about my mother's terminal cancer diagnosis and her decision to not take treatment. I felt so much better in my choice to not join my sisters in guilting my mother into doing something she didn't want to do after receiving support from other…

Well, I had already committed myself to living off the land, aka fishing the teeming waters of the Land between the Lakes while subsistence camping, so this meter has it so wrong; thanks for nothing.

Thanks for your post and making me feel better about my choice to let my mom do what she wants about her own heath. It probably still hasn't sunk in enough for me, but I keep having doubts if I am doing the right thing. Even though I know I could never persuade my mom to do something she didn't want to do, and we have…

Thanks for the support, and I really didn't want to bring everyone down. Looking back on the post and ultimately my past 3 years, it has been pretty shitty. Before this I had an idyllic middle class life with loving parents, so at least I am lucky enough to have had a blessed childhood unlike many others.

After reading your post I looked up the film on Netflix, where lo and behold it was a new addition to my recommended movie field. I plan on watching it as soon as I find the time, but fully concur as to your interpretation from the trailer alone. I will add that it was probably the production company who decided to…

Because of the new Kinja format, no one is likely to see this especially because I am going to write an obnoxiously long post, but I just wanted to get it off my chest to the anonymous interwebs. Two weeks ago my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, even though she never smoked a day in her life. The…

'I'm to engrossed re-watching the finale"

Holy shit, I really must have forgotten this movie completely. I watched it in high school 10 years ago; I'm 26. I don't remember it speaking to me profoundly so at least I won't have a sense of disillusionment if I rewatch it. However, since I am at a profoundly nihilistic self-viewpoint, it will probably affect me…

I just remembered that I used to include a little Flowers in the Attic drama with my Barbies, too. I liked them to get caught and be shamed by everyone else for committing incest. Then they would have to live in a shack at the edge of town with all of the inbred babies they kept having.

My Barbies could never resist the sweet rattails on the NKOTB boys either.

I watched a lot of daytime soaps with my grandmother, so my Barbies were constantly having sex, getting knocked up, and repeatedly marrying and divorcing the New Kids on the Block dolls from my earliest memories. They were the sluttiest of sluts.

I had an ocular migraine last night, so can anyone confirm that this article is a huge mess of typos and not a sign I need a brain scan?

Well, Genesis 6:4 say the Nephilim (angels) sexed up the mortal women and created giant children. Make sure to cover up your hair, lest they became sexually inflamed.
